Hey there, time traveller!

This Saturday, a group of Manitobans will gather to remember their journey to becoming Canadian.
Passengers of the Beaverbrae ship, which brought over 33,000 people to Canada from Europe between 1948 and 1954, as well as more recent newcomers from other regions of the world are gathering at Lutheran Church of the Cross at 560 Arlington St. The event, dubbed “the Beaverbrae Reunion,” is being organized by Canadian Lutheran World Relief. It’s from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, free and the public is welcome to attend.
The organizers said in a news release that they want to connect the stories of post-Second World War newcomers with those who have recently arrived in Canada.
People who are interested in learning more about refugee sponsorship are encouraged to attend.
