Immigrant arrival at Winnipeg signals spring movement
Week one of March brought an advance guard of immigrants to Canada. Six British and European travelers reached Winnipeg en route to British Columbia and prairie provinces, then re ticketed and sent to their new homes that night. A group of English boys aged 13 to 17 posed with the immigration train engine, with Capt. T. Smith of the Church Army Distributing Home arranging farm placements.
