Oreste Campeotto

Ship Name: Olympia
Date of Arrival: May 4, 1957

I came to Canada to work. I arrived with my cousin Virginio Michelin. Virginio had one brother living in Canada. I stayed with a host family by the name of Finos. It was hard to try and understand the life style, the language and the different culture. My arrival and processing were quite scary. Not knowing anyone or anything. The trip itself was a good experience.
