MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIR
As you read this Impact Report reflecting on the 20132014 year, you will see what we have accomplished
together and what your support has helped make
possible. Through community outreach activities like
our Digital Storytelling Workshops and educational
offerings like our Sons and Daughters program, you
have enabled us to expand our reach and deepen
our influence on the lives of Canadians.
And, our very first travelling exhibition, Canada:
Day 1, launching in June 2014, will serve to further
engage communities across the country in Canada’s
immigration story and in the many ways immigration
has and will continue to shape us as individuals and
collectively as a nation.
The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21
is a museum for all Canadians. It is your museum.
Through your generous support, we continue to be
able to share the immigration stories that are a source
of learning, enjoyment and inspiration for current
and future generations.
This is a defining moment in our evolution as a
national museum. Your gifts are vital to our mission
of sharing the national Canadian immigration story
and engaging Canadians in every part of the country.
Thank you for your meaningful support of the
Museum. Although much has been accomplished
in 2013-2014, we have more to do to fulfill our
national mandate. In May of 2015, we will launch
an expanded Museum that will showcase the vast
contributions of immigrants to Canada’s culture,
economy and way of life. We thank those who
have supported us to date, and encourage others
to become part of this exciting legacy.
As we move forward together, we will continue to
open minds and spark significant conversations about
the place of immigration in Canada, not only in our
past, but in our future.
Sincerely,
Tung Chan, Chair of the Board of Trustees

Celebrating a milestone in
the immigration journey
The immigration experience is marked by firsts.
The first day in a new country takes shape with
an individual’s first steps, first impressions and first
experiences. This year, with RBC Foundation’s
extraordinary $500,000 gift, we are thrilled to
have developed our very first travelling exhibition,
Canada: Day 1, and its complementary community
outreach programs.
Through RBC Foundation’s support of Canada: Day 1,
visitors will be able to explore immigrants’ diverse

personal Day 1 experiences, from Confederation to
present day. Through moving personal immigration
stories and oral histories, archival images that offer
a glimpse of special moments in time, original
artworks and interactive digital experiences, you will
be transported back to your first day in Canada, or
inspired to imagine yourself in a newcomer’s shoes.
As the exhibition travels across the country, we
will engage Canadians in their own communities
through community outreach programs including
Digital Storytelling Workshops, as well as learning
opportunities in local schools. Together, we will
pay tribute to Day 1—a key milestone in the
immigration journey—and highlight unique and
shared immigration experiences.
“I would travel anyplace and
come home to Canada—when
I stepped off the plane into an
airport in Canada I feel at home.”

SCOTIABANK
Enriching the visitor experience
As a museum of stories, the personal touch is an
important part of everything we do. Our volunteers
are often among the first smiling faces to greet
visitors.
Through Scotiabank’s generous $250,000 gift in
support of our Volunteer Program, we are able to
ensure that the immigration journey will continue
to be brought to life in an immediate and genuine
way by our volunteers.
From conducting guided tours, to supporting
community film screenings, author readings,
exhibition openings and more, our volunteers

enrich the visitor experience with their own personal
experiences—whether it be as a retired educator, a
recent newcomer to Canada, or as an ‘alumnus’ of
Pier 21 having begun their own immigration journey
right here.
Volunteer John Richards (pictured right) enjoys sharing
tales of his experiences working at Pier 21 when it
was a bustling gateway. As a former Boarding Agent,
John has shared many emotional encounters with
Museum visitors who came to Canada on ships that
he worked with.
“People want to know what happened here. What it
was like when their grandmother or mother arrived.”
– John Richards, Volunteer
“This place is like a
second home to me.”

THE SOBEY
FOUNDATION
The Simons family makes the celebration of their brick on the Sobey Wall of Honour extra special with a toast
Leaving a legacy for all
Canadians
Canada has been profoundly shaped by immigration.
Whether they arrived by ship or by airplane, came
seeking refuge or adventure, made Canada their
home 50 years ago or five years ago, immigrants
have immeasurably shaped our culture, economy
and way of life.
The Sobey Wall of Honour, both onsite and online,
pays tribute to these individuals and families who
have helped build Canada. As you walk through the
doors of the Museum, you are greeted by thousands
10
of bricks inscribed with the names of those who
wished to mark their journey to Canada. This is a
powerful welcome to a place that tells the stories
of those who made Canada their home. Online,
contributors to the Sobey Wall of Honour can add
to their virtual bricks the immigration stories of the
individuals honoured on our Museum walls.
Thanks to The Sobey Foundation’s generous
$250,000 gift, the Museum will be able to grow
our virtual wall and expand the onsite Sobey Wall
of Honour onto the second level of the Museum,
to further honour the stories and the legacy of the
Canadians who came seeking a better future for
themselves and their families.
TD BANK
GROUP
Ed Clark (centre), Group President & CEO, TD Bank Group, meets WHTC participants at the Museum
Welcoming newcomers in
the workplace and beyond
Welcoming newcomers to Canada is a significant
part of Pier 21’s rich heritage. Today, the Canadian
Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is able to carry on
that tradition through the Welcome Home to Canada
(WHTC) program presented by TD Bank Group.
With TD Bank Group’s remarkable $250,000 gift,
together, we are able to continue to support newcomers
as they gain vital Canadian work experience through
the Welcome Home to Canada program.
In 2012-2013, 10 more newcomers from nine
different countries became part of the Museum’s
living history. Working in a variety of areas in the
museum, engaging with visitors, helping people
research their own family histories or leading handson cultural workshops, WHTC participants bring to
life the immigration stories that we are entrusted to
preserve and share.
“We’re proud to support Pier 21 as they provide
newcomers with valuable coaching and job
training that expands their opportunities and
ability to contribute to Canada’s workforce.”
– Ed Clark, Group President & CEO, TD Bank Group

SPECIAL EVENT
FUNDRAISERS
Breakfast with a Fascinating Canadian /14

BREAKFAST
WITH A
FASCINATING
CANADIAN
Celebrating newcomers
Your support for our Breakfast with a Fascinating
Canadian speaker series allows us to share the
importance of immigration across the country through
thoughtful talks from inspiring Canadians.
This year, the Honourable Kevin Lynch, P.C., O.C., PH.D.,
LL.D, Vice-Chair of BMO Financial Group, inspired the
breakfast crowd in Halifax with his remarks about
immigration as a key factor in igniting our economy.
With your support, this year, we were also able to
spread our message even further by hosting our very
first Fascinating Canadian event ‘on the road’! We
kicked things off in Toronto where Gord Nixon, C.M.,
O.Ont., RBC CEO, sparked a discussion about the value
of a diverse workforce.
14
The generous government and corporate support
of Breakfast with a Fascinating Canadian is vital to
its success. This year’s breakfast in Halifax was made
possible by title sponsor the Nova Scotia Department
of Labour and Advanced Education and patron
sponsors Clearwater, McInnes Cooper and Nova
Scotia Power. Our breakfast in Toronto was generously
presented by Kinross and supported by the Faas
Foundation, Maple Leaf Foods and RBC.
You helped us raise over $70 000 for the Museum
by supporting Breakfast with a Fascinating Canadian.
These funds are central in allowing us to deliver
educational initiatives that engage people of all ages
in activities that explore the immigration journey and
what it means to be Canadian.
“Pier 21 was a gateway to opportunity for
new Canadians to reach for and achieve
new heights. And as they followed
their pursuits, these people contributed
to Canada’s economy, its prosperity
and to the building of a great nation.”
“Our country needs the energy, the
ideas, the hopes and the dreams of
new Canadians.”
– Kevin Lynch, Vice-Chair BMO Financial Group
– Gord Nixon, RBC CEO

CALIFORNIA
WINE
DINNER
Toasting our heritage
For over a decade, you have helped make the
California Wine Dinner one of the Museum’s most
successful fundraisers. The 2013 event featuring
Etude Wines was no exception!
Each enthusiastic attendee, generous live auction
or raffle donor, and tireless committee member’s
patronage will help support the redevelopment of
our permanent exhibitions, set to open in 2015. This
expansion will allow us to tell the broader Canadian
immigration story.
16
The dinner was made possible by the extraordinary
support of our gold sponsors, Scotiabank, McInnes
Cooper and NSLC, and silver sponsors, BlackRock
Canada, BMO Nesbitt Burns, Cabot Links,
Eastlink, Ernst & Young, Fox Harb’r Golf Resort &
Spa, Kinross Gold Corporation, Man Investments
Canada, RBC, Russell Investments, ScotiaMcLeod,
The Chronicle Herald and WM Fares Group.
Cheers to all of our patrons, whose support raised
over $128,000 for the Museum.

LEARNING
AT THE
MUSEUM
At the Museum, students have fun learning by doing!
Immersed in the history of Pier 21, they explore
rich immigration stories and take part in interactive
workshops that allow them to explore the common
themes of the immigrant experience.
By supporting the Museum, you are helping
students gain an understanding of the immeasurable
contributions of so many who have made Canada
their home.

SONS AND
DAUGHTERS
Exploring immigration stories
that shape our Canadian identity
Your support enables us to develop and deliver creative
hands-on learning opportunities for students. This
year, we piloted our brand new Sons and Daughters
workshop for grade six learners.
In this workshop, students step into a time machine
to uncover the ways in which world events affect
immigration. Combining history with innovative
technology, they unlock suitcases packed with audio,
video and photographic records from the Museum’s
collections.
22
In this way, today’s students can connect with the
thoughts and feelings of real immigrant children of
the past and put themselves in a newcomer’s shoes.
Through your support of educational programs
like Sons and Daughters, students gain a deeper
appreciation for Canadian diversity and learn
strategies for promoting cultural understanding and
creating inclusive communities.
23
COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Working with community partners, making
connections with Canadians through Museum
programs in their hometowns, and encouraging
conversations between diverse groups helps foster
empathy and understanding for the immigrant
experience.
Your donations help us engage Canadians with
the Museum, and each other, onsite and across
the country! This emphasizes the relevance of
immigration to our collective Canadian heritage
and helps strengthen our communities.
24
25
DIGITAL
STORYTELLING
Sharing stories, opening
hearts and minds
Personal immigration stories can serve as the key
to unlock hearts and minds to create open and
inclusive communities. With your support, this past
year we launched our Digital Storytelling Project
which encouraged over 100 newcomers across
Canada— from 12 cities in eight provinces and one
territory—to share their own stories in a creative way.
These short personal videos capture unique
immigration experiences. Watching these videos will
deepen Canadians’ understanding of the milestones
and challenges immigrants face. They are a special
26
public learning resource that can be explored in
our online gallery at www.pier21.ca and may even
become part of future museum exhibitions.
Our digital storytellers, community partners across
Canada and Community Story Strategies brought
this project to life. Your continued support will help
it live on!
“We are so pleased to partner with the Canadian
Museum of Immigration at Pier 21...We are inspired
over-and-over by the stories our clients tell about
their lives. This is a wonderful opportunity for
them to reach a wider audience with their story.”
– Yvette Doucette, Information Officer, PEI
Association for Newcomers to Canada
YOUTH
BUILD IT!
WORKSHOP
Building cultural connections
between youth
With your support, we are able to create fun, handson opportunities for youth to express themselves
and gain a greater understanding of our shared
immigration history.
Whether it is by exploring immigration’s influence
on architecture, food, music or more, your support
helps young Canadians relate to a collective sense
of identity and belonging.
Workshops like Build It! encourage youth to take
what they have learned at the Museum, inspired by
temporary exhibitions like Migrating Landscapes,
and to make relevant connections between the ways
immigration has shaped our nation and the world
around them.
27
BRINGING
HISTORY TO
LIFE
The Museum offers opportunities for visitors of all
ages, onsite and across Canada, to experience history.
Through the collection and preservation of individual
immigration stories, we are able to share our collective
story of a nation shaped by immigration.
By supporting the Museum, you are helping to ensure
that today’s Canadians, and future generations, are
able to access the immigration stories of our past
and share in the historical memory of our nation.

OUR STORY
COLLECTION
Preserving our heritage
Immigration stories are at the heart of everything we
do at the Museum. Our Story Collection is the seed
from which our research, exhibitions and programs
grow. Each immigration story that you have entrusted
us with is a tremendous source of inspiration and
learning.
These stories are a reflection of the diversity of the
Canadian immigration experience. Our Collection is
enriched by stories of immigrants from six continents
who now call communities across Canada home.
We are privileged to share a wealth of stories, from
the experiences of early colonial settlers who came
30
exploring the New World, to post-war immigrant
families who came through Pier 21 seeking a new
beginning, to the newcomers who recently arrived
in search of a brighter future.
Your support is vital in allowing us to continue to
collect, share and pay tribute to the immigration
stories that will live on through the Museum,
preserved for current and future generations.

cold and we had our first experience with something we had never seen
before – snow! It was very exciting and scary at the same time – a new
country, a new climate, and a new place to call home.”

TRIBUTE
Members of the LRMCAC celebrate their plaque destined for the Wadih M. Fares Wall of Tribute
Highlighting your
community’s cultural
heritage
Vibrant community groups across Canada keep
the diverse cultural history and traditions that have
shaped our collective Canadian identity alive. This
year, we were honoured to unveil the Lerin Region
Macedonian Cultural Association of Canada’s plaque
on the Wadih M. Fares Wall of Tribute.

The association’s support of the Museum, and the
cultural events they host, help all Canadians gain an
understanding of the many ways immigrants enrich
Canada’s culture and society.
Plaques on the Wadih M. Fares Wall of Tribute that
commemorate cultural groups’ contributions to
Canada are a special legacy for children, grandchildren
and future generations.
REMEMBERING
ALFREDO
DEGASPERIS
A proud Canadian with
respect for his roots
a life well lived, he has without a doubt left his mark
on Canada, through his company that shaped the
physical landscape of his community and through
his philanthropic efforts.
The Museum was saddened this year by the loss of
Alfredo DeGasperis. Mr. DeGasperis had a personal
connection to Pier 21, which held a special place in
his heart as the gateway to Canada from his native
Sora, Italy.
Mr. DeGasperis was not only a contractor, developer
and city-builder, but also a nation builder. Alfredo
DeGasperis, along with his brothers Angelo and
Antonio, were leadership donors to the Pier 21
Endowment Fund in support of the Museum’s Nation
Builders Campaign.
From humble beginnings, he arrived in Canada as
a teenager in the early 1950s. Mr. DeGasperis and
his brothers went on to build a successful company
in Toronto that became one of the largest in its field
in the country.
Mr. DeGasperis was a proud Italian Canadian who
embodied the entrepreneurial immigrant spirit. After
Their support has ensured that immigration stories
much like their own, marked by hard work,
sacrifice and determination, will be remembered
for generations to come. And we will remember
Alfredo DeGasperis.

RUTH GOLDBLOOM
EDUCATIONAL BURSARY
Your support for the Ruth Goldbloom
Educational Bursary Fund is helping
to make Ruth’s dream for youth a
reality. Ruth’s vision was for young
Canadians across the country to be
able to experience the Museum.
Because of your support and the fact
that you share in Ruth’s dream, the first
bursaries will be awarded this school
year.
Your continued support of the Ruth
Goldbloom Educational Bursary Fund
will create further opportunities for
diverse youth to be immersed in the
immigration experience and to learn
firsthand about a vital part of our shared
heritage.
