From the wonderful Refuge Canada exhibition, to the many programs that welcomed thousands to the Museum, to acting as a platform for youth education, we are truly touching hearts and minds across the Nation. We are, of course, a museum of stories and it is our privilege and honour to celebrate the story of Canadian immigration and the individual stories of immigrants to Canada. Part of that celebration is the important process of finding, collecting and archiving those stories. Moreover, we make them available for our visitors in a way that will allow them to find sparks of connection and inspiration as they encounter these stories in the Museum. Thanks to our dedicated supporters, we are able to continue this vital undertaking, bringing Canada’s immigration story to light and life through our programs and interpretations of the stories we gather.

  • Annual Report 2012
    Annual Report 2012 2012 Annual Report of The Killam Trustees The Killam Trusts The Killam Trusts were established in 1965 under the Will of Dorothy Johnston Killam for the benefit of Dalhousie University, Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University, University of Alberta, The University of Calgary, The University of British Columbia, and The Canada Council for the Arts. Mrs. Killam also established similar trusts during her lifetime for the benefit of Dalhousie and the Canada Council. To date, over 6,000 scholarships and fellowships have been awarded to graduate and post-graduate students and faculty. The Killam Trusts also provide funds for Killam Chairs, salaries for Killam Professors, and general university purposes. The Canada Council, in addition to awarding Killam Fellowships, also awards annually the Killam Prizes in Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities. They are as a group Canada’s premier awards in these fields, and to date 95 prizes have been awarded. In the words of Mrs. Killam’s Will: “My purpose in establishing the Killam Trusts is to help in the building of Canada’s future by encouraging advanced study. Thereby I hope, in some measure, to increase the scientific and scholastic attainments of Canadians, to develop and expand the work of Canadian universities, and to promote sympathetic understanding between Canadians and the peoples of other countries.” iii Izaak Walton Killam Born in 1885 at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Died in 1955 at his Québec fishing lodge. Izaak Walton Killam was one of Canada’s most eminent financiers, rising from a paper boy in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia to becoming head of Royal Securities.
