1968: Canada and the Prague Spring Refugees pop-up

A temporary exhibit marking the 50th anniversary of the Prague Spring—which saw, according to The Immigration Museum, 12,000 refugees from Czechoslovakia arrive on Turtle Island—arrives at Pier 21. It "explores the events that led Czechs and Slovaks to leave their country and the role of the Canadian government and community organizations in helping them begin new lives in Canada," the museum adds, and will also feature presentations, music and traditional Czechoslovakian desserts.
