Helen [email protected] Canada 100,000 British Home Children were sent to Canada during the years 1869 - 1939 to work with pioneer families as domestics and farm hands. In recognition of the Home Children's courage, ingenuity, vision & contributions in this forgotten period in Canada's history, the Canadian Parliament has unanimously designated 2010 as the Year of the Home Child. As well, the Canadian Stamp Advisory Board of Canada will issue one stamp in October 2010 in recognition of the Home Children, & The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism plans to include recognition of their stories in citizenship ceremonies.
