Brother Pier: Brother and Letters Home

brother pier: Zwaagstra immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands in 1951, according to CTV. He was 17 years old and spoke no English when he arrived with his parents and younger brother at Pier 21 in Halifax to start a new life. And the very moment he truly felt Canadian. All he knew about his new home was what his older brother Pier, who arrived months earlier, had written in letters home. But you have to find your own cows and bees. Canada is a land overflowing of milk and honey, his brother wrote. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
