Join us for the sixth Annual Curator's Reception at the Canadian Automotive Museum! Come meet our new Executive Director and Curator, Alexandra Miller-Gerrard, and enjoy an evening celebrating Canada’s automotive history.

This year’s event will feature the official launch of our newest exhibit, The PM's Buick: Lester Pearson, His Car, and the Canadian Auto Industry.

As a diplomat, statesman, and Canada’s fourteenth prime minister, Lester Bowles Pearson (1897–1972) profoundly influenced the postwar international order, his nation, and its history. He is less well remembered for his vital work in revitalizing the Canadian auto industry during a time of crippling tariffs and economic instability. Discover Pearson’s story, and his impact on auto-building in Canada all the way up to the present day, through the lens of his custom Buick limousine, a modest and understated car for a modest and understated politician.

Guests are also invited to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Glenn H. Baechler Canadian Automotive Research (C.A.R.) Library and collections storage space.

This event is free and open to CAM members and supporters. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly for the number of guests attending.
