Description
Between 1928 and 1971, one million immigrants reached Canada via Pier 21. Tens of thousands of war brides, refugees and displaced persons first glimpsed their new world in Halifax. In 1988, restoration of this essential port of entry began. Today, visitors can examine the exhibits and trace their connections to those immigrants. At the south end of the harbour, Pier 21 is easily accessible to the downtown area via the waterfront walkway.
