Countless Journeys

Countless Journeys & D’innombrables voyages are original podcast shows created by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Our podcasts highlight the Museum’s unique content by connecting Canadians to personal stories of immigration. Drawn from the Museum’s collections and new interviews, these stories remind us that as a country shaped by immigration, we are all deeply impacted by it. Two hundred years ago or 2 years ago, regardless of the date of arrival, these stories contribute to the collective experience of what it means to be Canadian. This new season is about how sport helps newcomers find community and the role immigrants have played in shaping Canadian sports. From NHL tough guy Georges Laraque, to Manitoba’s All-Nations Cup soccer tournament, to a Montreal-based intro to skiing program for newcomers, Countless Journeys looks at how sports can be a gamechanger. The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is located at the Halifax Seaport. Between 1928-1971 almost one million immigrants arrived in Canada at Pier 21. Reopening the public in 1999, Pier 21 became a National Museum in 2011. Pier21.ca
