Join the Thunder Bay Museum for a reception celebrating the opening of an exhibit titled Behind Racism: Challenging the Way We Think.

The Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society is pleased to announce our hosting of a travelling exhibition titled Behind Racism: Challenging the Way We Think. Designed and fabricated by the Ontario Science Centre in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), the exhibit shows how the mental processes that help us think and act quickly can lead to racism and discrimination. This compelling exhibition examines racism in Canada and encourages visitors to recognize bias, challenge discrimination and appreciate our differences. The exhibition will open on 8 July 2023, thanks in part to the generous support of the City of Thunder Bay’s Anti-Racism & Equity Advisory Committee and Matawa First Nations. The exhibit will be open to the public at “pay what you can admission” until 25 September 2023.

Free Museum admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.
