The Home Children Commemorative plaque, 2018.
Description
The Home Children Commemorative plaque in-situ at 105 Isabella Street. From 1869 to the 1940s, child aid organizations brought more than 100,000 impoverished British and Irish children to Canada to work in farming or as domestic servants under the child emigration movement. Northwold, a large house once located here, was a receiving home and office for the Dr. Barnardo’s Home charity from 1922 to 1948. Northwold was demolished in 1957 and replaced by an apartment complex.
