Benvenuti! Bienvenue! Welcome!
Pier 21 is more than a museum. It’s a place to share stories.

Help us reflect your family’s experience and preserve your memories for future generations. Whether your ancestors arrived in the 1800s, or you disembarked yourself at Pier 21, or you came to Canada long after Pier 21′s doors were closed, we’re interested in your story.
"When we landed in Halifax the welcome was most kind and wonderful from the Canadian authorities. They even had gifts ready for all the children on board. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I knew immediately that we had found our Home Land!"
Emilio Poggi
