Canadian Museum of Immigration and Ellen Burka

Canadian figure skating: Both went on to become prominent in Canadian figure skating in their own ways, according to CTV. In Canada, the sport has been "profoundly influenced" by the talents of immigrants, says the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Ellen Burka, a Holocaust survivor from Holland, arrived in 1951. The museum new exhibit "Perfect Landings," opening Jan. 16, profiles several of those immigrants. Knebli made skates for numerous top-ranked skaters, while Burka trained some of the sport biggest stars. It overlaps with the 2016 National Skating Championships, being held from Jan. 18 to 24 at Halifax Scotiabank Centre. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
