Detailed Description


Pamphlet on immigration to Canada
ca. 1918, by the Bureau of Social Research, Government of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta

This pamphlet, distributed jointly by the Prairie provincial governments, shows the relative percentages of ethnic groups immigrating to Canada between 1900 and 1914. The pamphlet expresses a distinct ambivalence towards the arrival of so many new Canadians, concerned that a great wedge of "foreigners" was being driven into Canadian life. Yet it also acknowledges the economic and cultural wealth that these immigrants could bring to the young country.
