EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the Waifs and Strays Society's second emigration party to Canada in the 1913 season. The Waifs and Strays Society, a British charity dedicated to the care and welfare of orphaned, abandoned, and neglected children, organized regular emigration parties to provide new opportunities and better lives for its charges. In this image, a group of boys, dressed in overcoats and caps, are seen loading their luggage onto a cart or wagon. Their expressions convey a mix of excitement and apprehension as they embark on this new journey. The Society's commitment to providing essential services to children in need is evident in the care and attention given to each child as they prepare for their journey. The overcoats and caps are a testament to the Society's dedication to ensuring that each child is well-equipped for the Canadian climate. The luggage, filled with their belongings, represents the start of a new life in a new land. This poignant scene offers a glimpse into the important work of the Waifs and Strays Society and the transformative impact it had on the lives of countless children.
