Bridges that Unite is a thought-provoking travelling exhibition that invites visitors to consider Canada’s role in addressing the global challenges of the 21st century.
Through powerful images, stories and film the exhibition confronts typical assumptions about poverty and its solutions against the backdrop of a remarkable 25-year partnership between Canada and the Aga Khan Development Network.
A wide array of programs, from film screenings and cultural performances, to educational programs and community dialogues, invite you to join in this vital conversation about what Canada, at its best, can achieve in the 21st century.
