This exhibition highlights a unique chapter in Canadian history during World War II. It features 20 quilts from the MLC Research Centre Archive at Toronto Metropolitan University, made by Canadian women and children to help survivors of the Blitz, repatriated to Canada in 2023. Displayed for the first time, the collection exhibited is the largest of its kind. This multidisciplinary project brings together students, faculty, and research associates from across TMU.
