Pier 21


The Canadian Museum of Immigra- tion at Pier 21 located in Halifax was an immigrant entry point prominent throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. It has memorialized those who immigrated to Canada in search of a new life. Many families across Canada can trace their roots to this historic place where the names of their forefathers can be commemo- rated on permanent display plaques. Pier 21 was opened to the public as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1999 and is the only national museum in the Atlantic Provinces.
