Canadian history is a very rich
and exciting subject, but what most Canadians do not know is how and
when the majority of our descendants immigrated to the eastern part
of Canada, and eventually expanded our borders from coast to coast,
sea to sea. 
What
can you find on this page?
This page, which is devoted to the history of Canadian immigration
will concentrate on three different parts of the "third
wave" of immigration to Canada: immigration from the United Kingdom (1815-1850).
They are as follows:
1) Reasons/Conditions at home which caused immigrants to leave
2) Experiences/hardships of the journey to Canada
3) Impact/Experiences of the new immigrants in Canada
Each of the three parts will be handled by a different member of
our History 10 group. The first part will be handled by Conor
Pommerville, the second by Paul Saunders, and the third by Alex
Miller.
There are two different ways to access the different parts of
this homepage, if you would like to go through it in a linear
fashion, please click on the first title on the navigation bar to
the left. After that, there will be an arrow at the bottom of every
page to go forwards or backwards, or back home. The other way is to
just click on the section that you want to jump to, again on the
navbar to the left.
