Richmond Hill is an incredibly diverse City of individuals from all over the world that help contribute to our community in so many ways. Immigrants play a vital role in the development of our country and in the broadening of our lived experiences. Come and immerse yourself in these compelling stories.

Sholom Wargon developed the art installation through large-print story panels in a newspaper-style layout. The rich diversity of immigrant stories from various perspectives and cultural backgrounds will resonate with many in the York Region community.

The exhibition at Central Branch runs until August 23. Central Branch is located at 1 Atkinson Street (near the corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive).

The exhibit contains a large variety of photographs and documents that help tell these amazing stories. (photo by Peter Wilson
