Our Historic Memory Festival is important because it helps the community preserve, honor, and share our collective experiences. It also allows us to connect with our culture through dance, migration stories, and the enjoyment of traditional foods while spending time with friends and family.
Date: March 2026
Location: Ottawa
Scheduled for March 2026, this two-day event will gather interviews from members of the Salvadoran diaspora who arrived in Ottawa during the Civil War years. Participants will share their experiences and the challenges they faced while migrating and settling in the city. Ottawa will be the fifth Canadian city where interviews of this nature have been conducted.
Location: Camp Neekaunis, approximately 130 km north of Toronto.
This three-day gathering will focus on updates to our Virtual Museum, the development of our Diaspora Book, and contemporary discussions about memory, music, migration, and identity.
This event will be sponsored by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Surviving Memory in Postwar El Salvador, the Salvadoran Canadian Association (ASALCA), and Western University.
Date: Saturday, November 20th at 4:00 p.m
Location: 70 St. Mary St., Toronto.
The Jesuit priests, along with the two women who were killed with them, dedicated their lives to defending the poor, promoting human rights, and working for peace during one of the most violent periods in El Salvador. Remembering them preserves the meaning and impact of their work.
