To All Our Children - The Story of Immigration

After the conclusion of the Second World War, there was an exodus of emigration from the Netherlands to North America. As of May 1954, 100,000 Dutch men, women, and children had voyaged across the Atlantic, immigrating to Canada to begin a new life.

This is the story of those who left the fertile lands of the decimated Low Countries, for greener pastures in central and western Canada.
