British Home Children sent to Canada
More than 100,000 children were sent from the British Isles to Canada through assisted child emigration from 1869 into the late 1930s.
Not publication-ready. 1939 is only the upper bound of the approximate decade description. Different agencies and archival collections have different coverage dates; children’s consent and experiences cannot be assumed.
