Discover the remarkable story of Canada’s War Brides and the life-changing journeys they undertook in the aftermath of the Second World War. Beginning in 1946, nearly 45,000 women from Britain and across Europe crossed the Atlantic, leaving behind family, friends, and familiar surroundings to build new lives in Canada.
Marking the 80th anniversary of the start of the official War Bride transportation program, this presentation explores their courage and resilience, the lasting impact these women had on Canadian families and communities, and offers practical tips for researching your own War Bride ancestor.
