It is important that we uphold our traditions of compassion and inclusiveness while we share the stories of those who lived through these events.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About the Ugandan Asian\u00a0Collection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 1972, the president and military general of Uganda,\u00a0Idi Amin, ordered the expulsion of all Ugandans of South Asian descent within 90 days. Canada responded to the international humanitarian need and resettled 7,000 refugees. The Carleton archive holds numerous personal stories from Ugandan Asian Canadians who recount their experiences of the expulsion and resettlement in Canada, as told recently in this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/page\/iaRKG\/\">portrait series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comprised of newspaper clippings, oral histories, video recordings and a memoir of the Canadian immigration team in 1972 Kampala, the collection recounts an important part of Canada\u2019s history. Through ongoing acquisition activities, new material continues to be added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Canadian Premier International Education Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The CPIEAs recognize efforts to improve the international education industry.
