About
Join us for a casual, engaging Sunday afternoon of personal, one-on-one conversations with ten storytellers who have immigrated to Canada. They will relate their powerful stories about their cultures of origin, their journey to Ontario, and their experiences since arriving. Each conversation reflects a wide range of emotions and realities – from joy, love, and family to displacement, separation and the determination to belong in a new place while also preserving their cultural heritage.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to learn from everyday people we might pass on the street — individuals whose incredible stories are seldom heard. Come alone or with a group of up to four people, and choose who you’d like to speak with, or simply enjoy the spontaneity of chatting with any of the available storytellers.
Each conversation lasts 20 minutes.
This free program will take place from 1 to 4 pm on Sunday, July 27 at ROM. Access is through the PC School Entrance on the south side of the building, near the old Planetarium on Queen’s Park.
To obtain a free ticket, please register above. Please note that this free program ticket does not include general access to the museum. However, ROM Members and visitors who purchase tickets for Museum admission on that day can participate in the Living Library for free.
