Good Morning #Canada
The Dominion Lands Act was passed by the Canadian Government on April 14, 1872. The law was designed to encourage the settlement of the Canadian Prairies and to help prevent the area being claimed by the United States. The Ontario version (1868) brought my paternal grandfather from Pennsylvania to North Bay, and my wife's father from Czechoslovakia to Kapuskasing.
