Canada was one of the first countries to respond to Idi Amin\u2019s order expelling all Ugandans of South Asian descent from the country. St. Vincent was sent from his post in Beirut, Lebanon to Kampala, Uganda at the end of August to screen, process, and admit Ugandan Asian refugees to Canada. While in Uganda, St. Vincent kept a daily logbook of his two and a half month mission. \u00a0The logbook contained records of telephone calls, telexes, meetings and other daily events surrounding the mission. Compiling these into <em>Seven Crested Cranes<\/em>, St. Vincent offers readers an insight into the intricacies and challenges of refugee movements and immigration affairs in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s role in Uganda in 1972, and Roger St. Vincent\u2019s efforts in the refugee mission, has not been forgotten. This collection highlights the perseverance and dynamism of the Ugandan Asian\u00a0community after coming to Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Find digital copies <em>of\u00a0Seven Crested Cranes\u00a0<\/em>below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/uganda-collection\/wp-content\/uploads\/seven-crested-cranes_2016.pdf\">View Seven Crested Cranes, Roger St. Vincent (.pdf)\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/uganda-collection\/wp-content\/uploads\/SevenCrestedCranes_Full_PlainText-compressed.pdf\">View Seven Crested Cranes (Plain Text), Roger.
