1. Title: A Haven of Hope: Barnardos Margaret Cox Home (Hazelbrae), Peterborough, Ontario, 1910. This evocative photograph captures the essence of Barnardos Margaret Cox Home (Hazelbrae) in Peterborough, Ontario, a beacon of hope and care for orphaned and vulnerable children during the early 20th century. Established in 1906, the Home was founded by Margaret Cox, a dedicated social reformer, who sought to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The image shows a group of young boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around a table in the Home's dining room. Their smiling faces and playful expressions belie the hardships they have faced in their young lives. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the room is further emphasized by the presence of a fireplace and the homely decor. Barnardos Margaret Cox Home (Hazelbrae) offered its residents a comprehensive range of services, including education, medical care, and vocational training. The children were provided with a stable and loving environment, which enabled them to grow and develop into confident and capable individuals. The Home's commitment to the welfare of its charges extended beyond their immediate needs, with a focus on preparing them for a successful and fulfilling future. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that institutions like Barnardos Margaret Cox Home (Hazelbrae) played in the lives of countless children during a time when social welfare systems were still in their infancy. The legacy of this remarkable organization continues to inspire and inform modern-day efforts to support and care for vulnerable children and families.
