The Journey Across The Atlantic

With the situation in Britain becoming increasingly dire, Dr. Barnardo decided to explore new opportunities for these orphans. He ventured across the Atlantic to Canada, a nation that was in the midst of building itself and embracing immigrants.

The Canadian government, recognizing the potential these young minds held, wholeheartedly supported Dr. Barnardo's initiative. They created a program that allowed thousands of orphans to be transported to Canada, offering them a chance at a new life.

New Beginnings in Canada

Upon arrival in Canada, the orphans were met with open arms. Families across the country volunteered to provide them with much-needed love and stability. These compassionate individuals gave these children new homes and families to call their own, forever changing their lives.

However, adversity still loomed. Despite the overwhelming support from their adoptive families, the orphans faced numerous challenges. Many struggled to adapt to their new surroundings and cope with the trauma they had experienced. Through it all, their strength and resilience shone through, inspiring those around them.

Today, the legacy of these orphans lives on. Their journey and the profound impact they had on Canadian history and culture continue to inspire others. Organizations dedicated to orphan care and support have emerged, ensuring that no child is left behind.

The Little Immigrants is a tale of compassion and courage and a vivid account of a deep and moving part of Canadian heritage. In the early years after Confederation, the rising nation needed workers that could take advantage of the abundant resources. Until the time of the Depression, 100,000 impoverished children from the British Isles were sent overseas by well-meaning philanthropists to solve the colony's farm-labour shortage.

They were known as the "home children," and they were lonely and frightened youngsters to whom a new life in Canada meant only hardship and abuse. This is an extraordinary but almost forgotten odyssey that the Calgary Herald has called, "One of the finest pieces of Canadian social history ever to be written." Kenneth Bagnell tells "an affecting tale of Dickensian pathos" (Vancouver Sun) that is "excellent ... well organized, logical, clearly written, [and] suspenseful" (The Edmonton Journal).
