New Land
From 1928 to 1971, Pier 21 was Canadas front door to over a million immigrants, wartime evacuees, refugees, troops, war brides and their children. This enriched our social and cultural landscape and uplifted the very soul of our nation forever. Throughout those years, 1 million passed through its doors, 100,000 displaced persons and refugees - 50,000 war brides and their 22,000 children - 3,000 British evacuee children, escaping the ravages of war at home, and 494,000 Canadian troops bound for Europe during World War II, included in that group of immigrants was a family from Portugal.
