On February 23, 2023 at 7:30 pm via zoom, Pat Skidmore is going to give us an overview of the 350 year history of British Child Migration – a history that has been kept silent for a good portion of the 350 years.  British Child Migration took place as far back as the 1830s to the late 1940s, although the ‘height’ of child migration to Canada was between 1869 and the 1930s.

Her research is mainly centered on the Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School and her mother, Marjorie’s, experience there.  Over 120,000 children were sent to Canada . Over 95% of the children were not orphaned.
