In 1923, 110 young Armenian boys, aged 8-12,

were brought to Canada to live on Cedar Vale Farm in Georgetown

where they were trained in farming with the aim of becoming Canadian farmers.

The Georgetown Boys documents a significant moment in the history of Georgetown and Canada.

It was "Canada's noble experiment" --

Canada's first international humanitarian effort.

Many of these orphans grew up and settled in Southern Ontario,

reuniting with their friends as often as they could,

forming a tight-knit community that continues to this day among their descendants.
