Exploring Canadian Immigration’s Impact Through Time: A Digital Journey

Are you looking to uncover the intertwined roots of your Canadian-American heritage research? Join us for a deep dive into the Immigration and Impact timeline—a historical tool with resources to enhance your ancestral past.

What Is the Immigration and Impact Timeline?

A web-based application guides visitors through key events and developments in Canadian colonization and immigration history. It offers three perspectives: indigenous, legislation policy, and arrival(Immigration).

Separate timelines blend and overlap at key junctures, illustrating the relationship between perspectives. Each event is linked to a short popup story with original Indigenous art and significant images. The timeline is ongoing, launched in September 2024, as a starting point for research and development at the Museum.

What to Expect at This Meeting:

•Join a live Zoom presentation by historian and author Jan Ruska, who’ll share insights into Canadian history and its impact on our ancestors.

•Ruska holds a PhD in history from the University of Waterloo and is the curator of past exhibitions at the Museum. He’s also authored “Czech Refugees in Cold War Canada 1945-1989” and coauthored “Pier 21: A History.”

•During the presentation, he’ll demonstrate practical techniques for using timelines to enhance genealogy and explore the museum’s portal, which leads to history papers, oral history galleries, archival images, and digital storytelling videos.

Why You Should Attend:

This session is perfect for anyone exploring the history of their Canadian-American roots. Given the vital genealogical data you have found on your Canadian ancestor, Jan's guidance through the timeline will provide valuable background information on how immigrants affected Canadian history and how history affected both the immigrant and indigenous populace.
