Welcome!

The Diefenbaker Canada Centre (DCC) is a dynamic cultural, educational, and historical institution. Located on the stately University of Saskatchewan campus, the DCC is the only combined Prime Ministerial archives, museum and research centre in Canada. Existing to celebrate Canadian history, the museum preserves and interprets core collections representing the life and times of John G. Diefenbaker, presents national and international cultural exhibitions, and develops educational and public programs in keeping with the high academic standards of the University of Saskatchewan. Our particular themes are citizenship, leadership, and Canada’s role in the international community.

New Community-Focused Exhibit at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre

In the summer of 2010, the DCC proudly opened a new, community-based research exhibit created by the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives, entitled "Building Community: Creating Social and Economic Well-Being.” Suitable for all ages, this exhibition of research results focusing on co-operatives and the social economy encourages visitors to imagine what is possible in their communities and illustrates how to make those dreams become a reality.
