Canadian Museum Immigration Pier Halifax and Therese Linehan

: Whether the stories are happy or sad, they are told at the newly expanded Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, often through the immigrants’ own voices, according to The Chronicle Herald. Voices like Therese Linehan. Most Canadians — or our ancestors — came from somewhere else and share similar histories. She remembers her arrival at Pier 21 in 1957, after immigrating to Canada from Ireland to follow her heart. Her fiancé had immigrated four months prior. I remember the white wooden houses and the white churches; the sun was shining, unusual for a November landing in Halifax, says Linehan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
