Today, 24 October 2023, I celebrate the anniversary of the sunny day I arrived on The Empress of Canada at Quebec City and first set foot in Canada. Here’s the evidence of the movement of the vessel from the Library & Archives Reading Room of the National Museum of Science and Technology. It holds 47.57 metres of textual records and other materials about Canadian Pacific Steamships Limited catalogued at https://www.archeion.ca/canadian-pacific-steamships-limited-fonds .
And we are so glad you made that voyage! Happy ‘Coming To Canada’ Anniversary.
Congratulations on your anniversary, John! Canada is fortunate that you came here.
Many congratulations on your anniversary to arriving in Canada nd for the work you have carried out since,
Best wishes
Nick
And we are better for your decision to come to Canada! Displaying the Empress of Canada record underscores what you have been doing for the family history and genealogy community for the past fifteen years — making us aware of documentary resources, keeping us alive to developments of interest to us all. Thank you.
Congrats John. Good for you! Cheers, BT
I take it one must go in person to see microfilm at LAC?
On second thought, why would we have ever let YOU in …….? Cheers, BT
Glad you are here and helping us all.
Congratulations!!! My parents made the same voyage in the late 50s…
