A history going back more than 100 years

In 1870, Charles Alexander founded the Boys' Home of Montreal, putting up a building on Mountain Street. By 1930, much larger quarters were needed. A campaign conducted by the Rotary Club of Montreal raised $289,000, and the new Home was built in Weredale Park. These are some of the photos of the Boys Home of Montreal and Youth Horizons.
