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.
Here you will be able to view videos from past events as well as our community partners' content.

Captain William Mbaho provides wonderful suggestions about exploring and reconnecting with one's cultural heritage and he identifies challenges and obstacles to exploring and embracing his roots here in Canada. Further, he expresses how strong connections to his roots and embracing multiculturalism will have a positive influence on future generations to build a more inclusive and understanding community. I hope that you enjoy his presentation as much as I did!
I watched British Columbia The Untold Story. I can’t stop thinking about it now….. It was very well done.
There must be subtitles.....

Please accept PCHC-MoM’s apologies that the automatic transcription of speakers is a bit inaccurate.
Thank you, PCHC-MoM. The Laurier Institution greatly appreciated the opportunity to collaborate on this event with your organization, along with the Knowledge Network, the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC, SFU's Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, and the Chinese Canadian Museum (CCM). The CCM did a great job shouldering much of the logistical burden, and SFU Harbour Centre's event support was terrific. The panel discussion was very stimulating. The moderator, Gwendolyn (Wendy) Yip, and the two speakers -- Musqueam Elder Larry Grant and writer/director Kevin Eastwood -- offered illuminating insights after the live screening. I hope that many people will see episode 1 and the entire series of this remarkable documentary, "BC: An Untold History". It is a fantastic film. Thank you, Kevin Eastwood and team, for creating this magnificent film and thank you, Knowledge Network, for presenting it.
Thank you so much to PCHC-MoM for hosting this. I'm very excited to see this series roll out and share widely. Nice to hear from Elder Grant as well and nice to see Kevin! Wonderful moderation Wendy! :)
It was my honour to moderate. Thanks also to co-hosts, SFU Morris J Wosc Centre for Dialogue, the Laurier Institute, the new Chinese Canadian Museum, and Chinese Canadian Historical Society of BC (CCHSBC), and especially Robert Daum, Sarah Ling, Imogene Lim, Warren Wong, Monica Cheng, Savannah Duggan, and PCHC Coordinator Sophie Munk for enabling the live film screening and the sharing of this Q&A with Elder Larry Grant and film director Kevin Eastwood.
Thank you for facilitating this important and very much needed discussion. Will be looking out for more PCHCMOM webinars
I throughly enjoyed this talk today. I am on a quest to learn more about my immigrant parents and their contributions to our collective Asian Canadian history. Thank you Dr. Vivienne Poy for your dedication. Thank you Catherine Clement for your advice about using old photographs to prompt more insight. I am sure this will help my Dad remember so much more. Dr. Henry Yu interviewed my husband for his stories about Asian Canadian Farmers. I am fascinated and overwhelmed by all the amazing information that is readily available for me to access as I do my research. Looking forward to being a part of this wonderful community of storytellers, researchers, historians. Thank you All!
