Armenian Genocide : Georgetown Boys Heritage Plaque Unveiling Ceremony

It was on July 1st, 1923 that the people of Georgetown would accept into their community a group of young boys who were survivors of the Armenian genocide that took place in Turkey nearly 100 years ago. This ceremony was held in memory of the Georgetown boys not only to honor their struggles and sufferings but to honor their perseverance for a better life.  Not only was this the first taste of freedom for the children, but it was the first ever International aid relief Canada has participated in.
