OBS

Canada Post, Commemorative Stamp. Starting in 1869, and continuing into the years following the Second World War, more than 100,000 orphaned, abandoned and pauper children were sent to Canada by British churches and philanthropic organizations. They were welcomed by Canadian families as a source of farm labour, domestic help, and, in some cases, as children of their own. While some benefited from their new life, others were abused, neglected and overworked. The Government of Canada has recognized the experiences of Canada’s Home Children by proclaiming 2010 the Year of the British Home Child.

OBS

Timbre commémoratif - Postes Canada. Au Royaume-Uni, à partir de 1869 jusque dans les années qui ont suivi la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les institutions religieuses et les œuvres de bienfaisance ont envoyé au Canada plus de 100 000 enfants pauvres, orphelins ou abandonnés. Les familles canadiennes virent en ces enfants des ouvriers de ferme et des aides domestiques. Quelques jeunes plus privilégiés devinrent toutefois des membres à part entière de leur famille d'accueil. Bien que certains jouirent d’une meilleure vie, d’autres furent maltraités, négligés et exploités. Le gouvernement du Canada a reconnu la réalité des petits immigrants britanniques du pays et a désigné l’année 2010 Année des petits immigrants britanniques.
