HistoryThe Maple Leaf Club founded in September 1941 was the earliest known club where British wives of Canadians could go to learn about what to expect in their soon-to-be home. It was followed in 1943 by the Princess Alice Clubs. The Immigration Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources arranged dependents' travel until August 1944. BeginningsThe Canadian Wives' Bureau was created to address the need for a consolidated service for war brides and dependants travelling to Canada.[2] Alongside overseeing the transportation of women and children to Canada, it also supported local war brides associations in England and Scotland between 1944 and 1947.[3] The Department of National Defence (Canada) set up the Bureau's office on the third floor of Galeries Lafayette on Regent Street in London.[4] ResponsibilitiesThe Canadian Wives' Bureau was established as a directorate of the Adjutant-General's Branch of the Canadian military. They were responsible for arranging dependents' travel to Canada, caring for them en route, and providing information to available services. War brides' club creation was encouraged by the Canadian Wives' Bureau across the United Kingdom. By November 1945, there were thirty-two brides' clubs in England and Scotland.[5] They held social gatherings and talks to discuss Canadian society. By early 1947, the number of war brides and dependents declined greatly. As a result, the responsibilities were reassigned to the Immigration Branch of the Department of Mines and Resource on February 2, 1947.[6] Further readinghttp://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/pages/war-brides.aspx References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/welcome-to-the-canadian-wives-bureau|title=Welcome to the Canadian Wives' Bureau|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|access-date=2016-04-02}} {{Authority control}}2. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/welcome-to-the-canadian-wives-bureau|title=Globe and Mail|last=|first=|date=1943-09-01|work=|access-date=|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/military-heritage/pages/war-brides.aspx|title=War Brides|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-04-02}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.canadianwarbrides.com/cwb.asp|title=Canadian Wives' Bureau|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-04-02}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.canadianwarbrides.com/cwb.asp|title=Canadian Wives' Bureau|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-04-02}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.canadianwarbrides.com/cwb.asp|title=Canadian Wives' Bureau|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-04-02}} 5 : History of immigration to Canada|Aftermath of war|Home front during World War II|Civilians in war|Canadian women's history |
