Heritage Lectures
September 28 - British Home Children Presentation by Sheila Dodd
Monday, September 28, 2026
5PM-7PM
Location: Muskoka Heritage Place, 88 Brunel Road, Huntsville, ON
Presented by Sheila Dodd, Accredited Speaker with Home Children Canada. Sheila will be giving a brief history about the BHC child migration scheme and some of the sending agencies and receiving homes that placed children in the area.
Sheila will focus on children placed in the area and those that ended up living here. By using actual local case studies, Sheila hopes to bring some of these indentured servants and labourers stories to life and show the challenges that most British Home Children faced once in Canada.
