EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Canadian immigration, as a Government Inspector pays a visit to a young emigrant from Britain, recently arrived in Canada through the Waifs and Strays Society. Established in 1883, the Waifs and Strays Society was one of many welfare organizations active during this era that took part in emigration schemes to provide new homes for children in need, primarily in Canada and Australia. The young boy, dressed in a simple, threadbare outfit, sits quietly on a chair, looking up at the inspector with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The inspector, a stern-faced man in a suit and hat, holds a folder in one hand and a pen in the other, as he carefully examines the boy's documents. The scene is set in a modest room, with a fire burning in the hearth and a few meager possessions scattered about. The Government Inspector's role was crucial in ensuring the welfare and safety of the children who were sent overseas as part of these emigration schemes. He would assess the living conditions of the families who had applied to take in the children, and make sure they met the necessary requirements. This process was designed to prevent the placement of children in abusive or neglectful homes, and to provide them with a stable and nurturing environment. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and challenges faced by the thousands of children who were sent from Britain to Canada and Australia during this period. It also highlights the important role played by welfare organizations and government agencies in facilitating the emigration process and ensuring the well-being of the children involved.
