A Canadian immigration station opens in a shed at Pier 21 in Halifax, N.S., which will serve as Canada's Ellis Island until 1971, with three-fourths of arrivals coming from Europe. Within 70 years, only 20 percent of immigrants will be from Europe (half will be from Asia), and most will come by plane, but 20 percent of the nation's 30 million people will be descendants of people who came through the Halifax processing center.
