Passage to Fortune Tour: Join us on this interactive underground tour to explore the important role Chinese immigrants played in building the nation and their lasting contribution to Canada’s cultural identity.
Set in the early 1900s, Passage to Fortune tells the story of the Chinese immigrants who came to Canada in search of opportunity and instead faced discriminatory legislation, including the Chinese Head Tax and Exclusion Act. Guided through the tunnels many new arrivals actually lived and worked in, you'll witness their perseverance firsthand and learn how they became an integral part of Canada's story, from railway construction to community-building against the odds. It's the most emotionally resonant of the three tours Tunnels of Moose Jaw offers, praised by visitors for handling a difficult history with care and depth.
Expect atmospheric sets, changing characters, some confined spaces, stairs, and sensory moments throughout the experience.
