We held our first volunteer information session on March 15 to learn about the upcoming Hearts of Freedom in BC exhibition & related activities. Hearts of Freedom - Stories of Southeast Asian Refugees is a Travelling National Exhibition that will be taking place throughout the Lower Mainland & beyond from mid-April to mid-July. PCHC-MoM is proud to co-host the exhibits with local community partners.

Stay tuned for our next information session to learn more about this exciting program in BC and see how you can contribute as a partner, volunteer, performer on specific dates or occasion.
