Immigration trends and settlement moves to Canada in 1924
August 1924 migration to Canada totalled £0 184, with 5 706 from the British Isles 1 784 from the United States and 12 696 from other countries. First five months of the fiscal year show 76 719 immigrants and 23 561 Canadians returning from the United States. A land sale near Lethbridge to 10 families of 75 from South Dakota signals a larger northward move, while Hebridean commission members report settlers satisfied with Canadian conditions after touring Alberta. George A. Watro, general passenger agent for Canadian Pacific Railway, sails aboard Empress of France to Europe to coordinate an international tour with railway and steamship partners.
