Museum Main Level

In addition to being our "best friends," dogs serve us in many ways. They perform jobs like search and rescue, detection, therapy, and security. This exhibit focuses on the relationship between working dogs and their human partners.

Try detecting scents at the sniffing station, or hang out in the dog house with a furry friend!

BLACK ENSLAVEMENT IN UPPER CANADA

On now until Apr. 15, 2018

Museum Second Level

Most people don't realize that Black enslavement existed here in Canada, but it did from the 1600s until it was abolished in 1834.

This exhibition, presented in partnership with the Archives of Ontario, explores some untold stories that are important to our understanding not just of the past, but also of today.

OF WORLD WAR II POSTERS

On now until Oct. 7, 2018
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.
