From 1923 to 1927, 138 Armenian children orphaned during the years of the Armenian Genocide have been taken to Canada by the “Armenian Aid Society” and settled in a farm building located in Georgetown.
On June 26, 2010, thanks to the efforts of the Armenian National Commission, in the presence of Catholicos Aram I, a memorial plaque on the farm’s façade wall was solemnly opened.
In the 1920s, the Armenian rural school, as it was known at that time, located in Halton Hills played a big role in the lives of 109 orphans and 2 girls for whom Georgetown became their first home in Canada. This building would become a memorial, testifying to the Armenian Genocide and Canada’s invaluable role in saving Armenians.
