Located on the University of Saskatchewan campus just off the Meewasin Valley Trail, the Diefenbaker Canada Centre is a museum, archives and research centre.
The centre houses historical artifacts bequeathed to the university by Canada’s thirteenth prime minister, John G. Diefenbaker. The archives, containing over three million documents, eight thousand photographs, and two major press clippings collections, provide a unique record of Diefenbaker's life and of Canadian history.
March 31, 2008 marks the 50th Anniversary of the the Diefenbaker Progressive Conservative's massive electoral victory, in which they won the largest Parliamentary majority in Canadian history.
Looks like a very interesting place.
