What happens when personal freedoms come into conflict with national security?

Exploring the suspension of civil liberties in Canada during the First World War, the Second World War, and the 1970 October Crisis, Lost Liberties — The War Measures Act sheds new light on the enduring impact of the Act on Canada and its people.
This Canadian Museum of History exhibition examines the internment of Canadians of Ukrainian origin and other nationalities during the First World War, the internment of Italian Canadians and the internment and forced relocation of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War, and the arrest of hundreds of people in Quebec during the 1970 October Crisis.
Lost Liberties probes the crises that drove these tragic events, and features poignant first-hand accounts from the men, women and children who lived through them.

Sidney glass artist, Donna Marie Pitcher, creates fused and stained glass art, a beautiful art medium that requires skillfully breaking glass into pieces. “There’s a certain noise you hear when you cut glass. I didn’t expect this sound,” shares Donna Marie. “It’s a lovely grinding sound followed by a quiet snap when it breaks.”
For her, creating works of art, which include hangings and lanterns from glass, is immensely satisfying. “I love to explore nature and transform what I see into glass. It brings me joy,” she explains. “It’s something I do to enrich my soul.”
