Banquet of Stories Videos
Videos from A Banquet of Stories are now available in three parts!On September 26, 2015, the PCHC-MoM Society held "A Banquet of Stories" an afternoon that brought together diverse communities to share stories inspired by food and migration.The Pacific Canada Heritage Centre – Museum of Migration (PCHC – MoM) Society is a non-profit society incorporated in 2011 to build a wider and improved understanding of Canada’s history and growth through intercultural explorations of historic and current trans-Pacific immigration.Our mission is to establish a Museum of Migration at a site of historical significance for Canadians whose families first arrived in Canada through its western portals, and to create a supporting national research network for an interdisciplinary and more inclusive interpretation of Canada’s history.The PCHC- Museum of Migration will be a hub where Canadians can engage with each other to understand past and current relationship between immigrants and host communities, including their interaction with First Nations peoples, and where families will be able to research their family history and share their stories.Thanks to Partners: Gigi Astudillo, Canada Indonesia Diaspora Society, Sunita Jangra, Hyoshin Kim, Kumare Bakery, Eric Lau, O!
