Museum Main Level

During World War II (1939-1945) the Canadian Government's Bureau of Public Information worked to influence the hearts and minds of Canadians to support the war effort, both at home and abroad.

Well-known artists such as Group of Seven member, A.J. Casson, and the American illustrator, Norman Rockwell, created artwork for posters. The posters were displayed throughout the community to encourage everyone to buy war bonds, ration much-needed supplies and support the troops.

Ivan Melhuish was unable to serve in the Canadian Military so he became a member of the Brampton Civil Defence Corps and collected almost 300 posters, which he later donated to the Archives at PAMA.

This project from the Graphic History Collective features works by artists and writers committed to promoting art, activism, and radical history in what is today known as Canada.

Remember | Resist | Redraw posters offer different perspectives on historical events and highlight histories of Indigenous peoples, women, workers, and the oppressed that are often overlooked or marginalized in mainstream historical accounts.
