Dionne Quintuplet 90th Birthday

The Callander Museum is set to commemorate the birthday of the Dionne Quintuplets, a significant event in Canadian history, on Saturday, May 25th. This occasion marks not only the birth of five remarkable sisters but also serves as a testament to the miracle of their survival and the enduring legacy they left behind.
Born on May 28, 1934, in nearby Corbeil, the Dionne Quintuplets captured the world's attention and became a symbol of hope during a challenging time. Their birth was considered a medical marvel, and their upbringing garnered widespread public interest, both in Canada and internationally.
In honor of their birthday, the Callander Museum will host a special commemoration event on May 25th, highlighting the quintuplets' enduring impact on the community and beyond. The event will feature never-before-seen-photographs, a presentation, cupcakes, and welcoming some Dionne family members to be on site in the afternoon (see schedule below).
"We are privileged to honor the memory of the Dionne Quintuplets and recognize the important miracle that their birth represented," said Natasha Wiatr, Curator of the commemoration event. "Their story serves as a reminder of resilience, hope, and the importance of allowing children to be children rather than being used for commercial gain".
The commemoration event will take place on Saturday, May 25th, at 107 Lansdowne St. E. in Callander. All are welcome to attend and pay tribute to the Dionne Quintuplets' enduring legacy.
