More than 300 war brides will board a VIA Rail train today bound for
Halifax, where they will commemorate the journey that brought them to Canada
after the Second World War.

During and after the war, more than 50,000 women made the journey from
Europe to Canada after marrying Canadian soldiers who served in the war.

Twenty-two thousand of their children also made the journey.

This week, the war brides will revisit Pier 21, their gateway to Canada, and
over the next few days 18 couples will renew their wedding vows.
