One of Canada's best kept historical secrets, the mass immigration of tens of thousands of children to be used as a source of cheap labor. Between 1863 and 1949, over 110,000 children were forcibly removed from the UK and brought to Canada. Known as the British Home Children, their descendants alone are estimated to make up over 10% of Canada's population and yet, even their very own descendants are unaware, not only that their ancestors may have been BHC, but also what this truly means.
The history of the British Home Children, is now available on YOUTUBE. Find out the history behind these migration programs, how this was legal, what was behind the horrific treatment of many of these children and why most BHC held their silence about their past for a life time. Please share and educate as many as we can about this story.
