SUMMARY:Far From Home - Book Launch with Ruth Rodgers
DESCRIPTION:Join author and artist\, Ruth Rodgers\, for the launch of her latest historical fiction novel at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery as she presents this latest story about the thousands of ‘home children’ sent out from England to Canada to fulfill agricultural and domestic service roles in the 1870s to the 1930s. Joseph and Lucy\, orphans from London\, experience very different fates in their new homes\, typical of the stories of many of those caught up in this ill-considered scheme designed to solve Canada’s labour shortage while getting children off the streets of England’s growing cities. \nSaturday\, August 22\, 2026\, 11 AM – 12:30 PM\nGibsons Public Art Gallery\nFree
