This exhibit was emotional and most wonderful. I went by myself and I had a issue when it was time to leave. I didn't want to leave. So I went around one more time. It was touching, incredibly informative...what a great job they've done there,! I spent a good amount of time looking at the faces of those arriving to Canada searching for a better life...their eyes said so much...it must have been so difficult!! Their trunks also said a lot about each of them and their life styles. I am so grateful to have been there ! Visited from Chile!

Great experience. I was emotional going through the place. Tracing my mother and brother's steps when they came to Canada in 1946.

As an immigrant myself this place was a must in my visit to Halifax. The last port of entrance by the sea that was conserved practically as when it was used by millions to start a new life in this great country. Great exhibitions, interaction with guides is organic and very informative. Prepare yourself for many emotions. AMAZING PLACE.
