Tag: WWI Internment

Brandon, Manitoba’s WWI Enemy Alien Detention Centre

The creation of an internment camp in Brandon is a highly overlooked chapter in the history of the city. The camp was used to detain hundreds of innocent immigrants, most of whom came from what we now know as Ukraine.

Public History on the Prairies is an initiative of the Public History Program at Brandon University.

Brandon University campuses are located on Treaty 1 and Treaty 2 Lands, traditional homelands of the Dakota, Anishanabek, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dene and Métis peoples. We respect the treaties that were made on these lands.
