The Georgetown Boys
The Georgetown Boys, or Canada's Noble Experiment was the first humanitarian act on an international scale by the country. This effort was spearheaded by the Armenian Relief Association of Canada.〔Embassy of the republic of Armenia ''http://www.armembassycanada.ca/diaspora_history.html''〕 At this time Canada started to take in orphaned children from Armenia. The first 50 came in 1923.〔The Globe And Mail, Feb 28, 1923 ,Editorial, "Shall We Let Them Die"〕 The following year another 40 boys came.〔Apramian, Jack (1976). "The Georgetown Boys". Winona: Georgetown Boy's Association.〕 The boys came to Canada from Turkey to escape the Armenian Genocide. By 1928 a total of 109 came to Georgetown, Ontario and eventually came to be called "The Georgetown Boys".〔
The Armenian boys lived, worked and were educated on a farm near Georgetown.〔 The boys were largely trained for farming. The assistant superintendent at the school during this time was Aris Alexanian.〔 Mr. Alexanian helped the boys start a newsletter called "Ararat".〔 The newsletter was written and published by the boys and used as a tool to improve their English skills.〔 By 1927 a total of 91 of the original boys were placed on farms throughout Ontario.〔 In 1929 the farm home of the boys was renamed the Cedarvale School for Girls.〔 The original farm is now part of Cedarvale Park in Georgetown. An Ontario Provincial Plaque 〔http://www.anctoronto.org/PressReleases/Pages/2011-06-06.aspx〕 was erected in Cedarvale Park on June 26, 2010 designating it a municipal historic site honouring the Armenian boys who lived there.
