Geocache Description:

I wanted to make a companion cache for my "One of 100,000" multi-cache. This cache is placed to celebrate the Year of the British Home Child which 2010 has been designated in the Canadian Parliament.

In response to the unanimous support for Member of Parliament Phil McColeman's motion in the House of Commons, the Government of Canada has designated 2010 the Year of the British Home Child.

From 1869 until the late 1940s, around 100,000 children were brought to Canada from the United Kingdom by religious and philanthropic organizations and sent to live with Canadian families, often as farm labourers or domestic servants under the United Kingdom's Child Migration Scheme. These children were known in Canada as the Home Children.

Throughout 2010, the Government of Canada will encourage Canadians to learn more about this period of our history. In September, Canada Post will issue a commemorative stamp in honour of the legacy of former British Home Children in Canada. Further activities are being developed to mark the Year of the British Home Child.

It is estimated that between 3 and 4 million Canadians are directly descended from former Home Children.

Please enjoy reading the nearby education plaque to learn more about the Home Children in Canada - and the Halifax connection.
