Dispossesion of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s.

Museum Strathroy-Caradoc 34 Frank Street, Strathroy, Ontario

Grounded in research from Landscapes of Injustice – a 7 year multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, community engaged project, this exhibit explores the dispossession of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s. It illuminates the loss of home and the struggle for justice of one racially marginalized community. The story unfolds by following seven narrators. Learn about life for Japanese Canadians in Canada before war, the administration of their lives during and after war ends, and how legacies of dispossession continue to this day.

Thomas Gardiner: The Ghost of Cashmere March 12, 2025

The Archives 178 McKellar Street, Glencoe (Southwest Middlesex), Ontario

Thomas Gardiner led a life both ordinary and extraordinary. Before his death in Mosa Township around 1840, Thomas served in the Irish Volunteers during the Rebellion of 1798, joined the Lincoln Militia in Canada, feuded with the Anglican Church, taught school, and likely endured epidemic cholera. He documented much of his life in letters to the Executive Council of Upper Canada in the 1830s, now preserved in Library and Archives Canada. But was he a reliable narrator? Missing from his account is, for example, his arrest for leaving Canada during the War of 1812.

Let’s help Daniel Perry unravel the truths and myths behind Thomas Gardiner’s fascinating story.
