British Home Children in
Tweed and Hungerford Township
Presented by Sheila Dodd
Accredited Speaker with Home Children Canada.
Sheila will be giving a brief history about the BHC child migration scheme and some of the sending agencies and receiving homes in the area. She will be focusing on children placed in the area and those that ended up living here. By using actual case studies Sheila hopes to bring some of these indentured servants and labourers stories to life and show the challenges that most British Home Children faced once in Canada. Over 100,000 children were sent from Britain to Canada from 1869-1948 and is a forgotten part of Canadian history that Sheila and others help to keep alive.
WHERE: Tweed And Area Heritage Centre,
40 Victoria ST. N., Tweed, ON
WHEN: Wednesday, April 29, 2026
TIME: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
ADMISSION: Donation To The Heritage Centre
