A touching tribute to the hundreds of volunteers and employees who helped welcome the waves of immigrants coming into Canada, some coming with means and opportunity waiting for them and some coming with only the clothes on their backs. From the first waves of European settlers through to the war years when refugees, war brides and displaced children arrived, hundreds of volunteers and employees were on hand to help with everything from translation to supplying food to helping watch children for exhausted parents.
Pier 21 is now Canada's National Museum of Immigration and I plan on making a trip there this summer.
Recommended to anyone who is interested in Canadian History.… (mehr)
