A One Way Ticket: Red Lake’s Immigration Story This online exhibit features a collection of 46 immigrant stories; over 750 photos of local families, individuals, and related immigration documents; and highlights major world events and Canadian government strategies and policies which influenced the immigrants’ decisions to come to Canada. The purpose of the exhibit is to bring to life the physical and emotional journey traveled by many immigrants who found their way to live and work in the Red Lake District of Ontario. It also acknowledges the contributions these pioneers made in building the prosperous and vibrant community that Red Lake is today. The website was developed by the Red Lake Regional Heritage Centre and was made possible with funding provided by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture through their Museums and Technology Fund.
