Pre-Conference Excursion: Explore Canada's Immigration History
Start your conference experience early with a visit to one of Halifax's most compelling cultural landmarks: the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Often referred to as the "Gateway to Canada," this historic site welcomed one in five immigrants to Canada between 1928 and 1971. It's an incredible opportunity to connect with colleagues and explore immersive, interactive exhibits before the official program begins.
