The Longue-Pointe Log Book<\/h3>\n

Upon arrival at Montreal-Dorval International Airport, Ugandan Asian refugees were welcomed and transported to a reception\u00a0centre\u00a0at Longue-Pointe, Canadian Forces Base Montreal.\u00a0Refugees were given accommodation, meals, resettlement services, and winter clothing at the base before moving on to settle\u00a0in various places\u00a0across the country.<\/p>\n

One of the officers who assisted at Longue-Pointe\u00a0reception centre\u00a0was Chief Warrant Officer Randall of the Canadian Armed Forces. C.W.O. Randall recorded information from each incoming chartered flight of refugees from Uganda.\u00a0For each flight he recorded\u00a0in a register\u00a0the family names of the incoming passengers, the number of bags carried with them, and the information for their destination.<\/p>\n

The log book was donated to the Uganda collection in 2016. It is a unique document that gives insight into where the newcomers\u00a0initially settled in the days following their arrival to Canada. It also provides travel information about the chartered flights from Uganda, and the ways in which people travelled to their next destinations within Canada.<\/p>\n

A PDF version of the log book<\/a>\u00a0(44.75MB)\u00a0is available, as well as a searchable spreadsheet<\/a> (.xlxs) of the information provided. \u00a0The physical copy of the log book is available for viewing with the collection at Archives and Special Collections, Carleton University Library.<\/p>\n
