Pier 21

$ 15.95

Discover some of the most important moments of Canada's history by getting to know the children and their families who arrived at Halifax's Pier 21. From countries as far away as Estonia, Italy, and the Ukraine (just to name a few), these immigrants all travelled through the "gateway to freedom" to call Canada home.

"Guest child" Jamie from Scotland and Jewish orphan Mariette were both sent to Canada as children to escape the same war. Heili's Estonian family boarded the Walnut to sail away from Russian Communist rule. Luigi's family came from Italy to find work in Canada after the war, while Maryke's arrived from Holland in search of farmland.

Now renamed the Canadian Museum of Immigration, Pier 21 accepted over one million new Canadians between 1928 and 1971. Many were nervous about their new home, but although they arrived from distinct countries and cultures, each family embraced the safety and possibility of a life in Canada. To arrive was to escape the past while keeping memories of their homelands close. Pier 21 was the first step toward a new life.

With over 40 photos, a glossary, timeline, and sidebar features on the pier itself and the home countries of those who passed through it, Pier 21: Listen to My Story provides an excellent introduction for chilldren to this key landmark in Canada's immigration history.

So far this battery is performing great. My 10 year old H-D AGM battery was giving me trouble, would not hold charge for more than a couple of days, then it would not start the bike. Since installing this battery a couple of weeks ago, I have not had to plug the trickler in and the bike turns over like a champ and starts every time.

Ordered a battery for a snowmobile and a fuel transfer pump. Both items arrived in record time (ordered on a Saturday, arrived on Tuesday). I am extremely happy with both products. Battery has tons of cranking amps and fuel transfer pump with shut off sensor works fantastic. I would highly recommend both products and will making more purchases from BRS Battery in the future.

Had my eye on this pumpmatic for over a year and finally bought it-used it last week at my cabin in the woods and it’s a total game changer!! Loved it and it worked better than I could have hoped for. Gassing up the generator was so easy and being able to fill the boat tank was so easy and no spills or lifting!! If you are on the fence it’s worth every penny!!

BRS Battery Ltd. is a fantastic company. ThePumpMatic Super Long Gas Pump w/ 12 Ft Hose is a life changer for me. I am 78 years old and my gas cans I use for my riding mower are on the floor in my garage. They are 5 gallon containers and are to heavy for me to pick up and pour fuel into any of my gas engines or vehicle. The 12 ft hose is great for this situation and safe. BRS is my go to gas can pump needs. Thank You KW, USA

Battery arrived to my door within a couple days at the most. Appeared to be fully charged, and in 100% state of health according to my battery tester. Incredible customer service from the moment I requested information on the battery, including now. Battery seems strong, I've only started the ATV a handful of times, but it works, and when I put it on the trickle charger, its fully charged again in minutes. I'm glad I did an internet search, and found this company and their battery. Looking forward to some cold starts in the winter.

So again I went with BRS as my new ATV Battery because the one I bought for my side by side worked so well why not deal with local. The battery comes pre-charged ready for install not like them other batteries.
The price was about $12 cheaper then Yuasa and was delivered to my door in less than 32 hrs can't get better than that and like I say its keeping our money in Canada/Ontario.
Big thanks to the whole crew for making and delivering these awesome batteries.
