99 years ago, in July 1923, the first 46 Armenian Genocide Orphans arrived at Georgetown, Ontario.
In 1924, they were joined by a second group, most of whom came from the Middle East and Europe, after they had been orphaned during the Armenian genocide.
By the end of the project, a total of 110 came to Georgetown, Ontario, and eventually came to be called the Georgetown Boys, one of Canada’s first humanitarian missions.
