Was Your Ancestor a British Home Child? - Uncovering Hidden Family StoriesSaturday, September 26, 2:00 p.m.
Main Library, 100 Norfolk St
It is estimated that one in ten Canadians is descended from a British Home Child, yet many families remain unaware of this important part of their heritage. Between 1869 and 1939, more than 100,000 children from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales were sent to Canada as part of a child migration program that profoundly shaped Canadian history.
