Bethune Memorial House National Historic Site

Enter Bethune’s birthplace and family home for a close inspection of artefacts and Victorian architecture. Learn of Bethune’s service during the First World War and development of the mobile blood transfusion unit during the Spanish Civil War; his advocacy for universal health care and contribution to the global fight against tuberculosis. And of his influence in China, where he cared for wounded soldiers in the Second Sino-Japanese War and became the face of Canada to more than a billion people.
