80 Years of Freedom Exhibition

A Public Exhibition Honouring Liberation, Memory, and Friendship

​

Experience history brought to life. Join us at the Small Arms Inspection Building in Mississauga for two powerful exhibitions commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Netherlands’ liberation by Canadian forces during WWII. Step into a moving tribute that blends art, memory, and storytelling — from towering photo-sculptures to deeply personal wartime accounts.

​

🌿 Outdoor Exhibition
An evocative public installation blending photo-sculpture, wartime testimonies, and sculptural design. This immersive display honours Canadian soldiers and Dutch civilians through stories of courage, resilience, and remembrance.

 

🖼 Indoor Exhibition
Step inside to experience "80 Faces of Freedom" — a stunning portrait series by award-winning Dutch-Canadian photographer Jason van Bruggen. These powerful images feature survivors of Nazi occupation and offer a deeply personal reflection on the cost and value of freedom.

​

Come reflect on our shared past to celebrate the values of freedom, peace, and friendship between nations.
