At Pier 21, Canada’s Immigration Museum, Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced a cash infusion of $15 million to make the museum a national one. Pier 21 was the gateway to immigrants from 1928-1971. Pier 21 is also where the home children landed.
In the UK, a ‘Migration Museum Working Group’ has been established to look at how immigration to the UK could best be honoured within the museum and heritage sectors. Look for a report release soon.
