Nine Ships 1825

The Peter Robinson Emigration of 1825 was a landmark initiative that brought nearly 2,000 Irish settlers to Canada, laying the foundation for what would become Nogojiwanong-Peterborough. This rare government experiment aimed to test the viability of British emigration policy by covering all expenses for settlers for 18 months. Each family’s journey and experiences have been meticulously documented, providing a rich archival resource. As we mark the Bicentennial, we honour this chapter in Canadian history. The 1825 emigration not only shaped Nogojiwanong-Peterborough’s identity but also demonstrated the enduring spirit of community and collaboration. Join us in commemorating 200 years of heritage, resilience, and the diverse legacy that continues to define our region today.
