Between 1863 and 1949 over 100,000 children were immigrated from the UK to Canada. Today Canada is home to over four million descendants of these British Home Children and yet most Canadian's are completely unaware of their story. Through research into her own family history, Lori Oschefski discovered her mother was such a child migrant. Lori is determined that the huge contribution of these children to the founding of our nation be recognized and their stories heard.
