In this course we will study Canada’s development, beginning with colonization in the 16th century all the way up to 2000. Along the way, we will cover topics such as:

  • What is Canadian Identity?
  • How have French-English tensions shaped Canadian history?
  • What role did the First Nations play in the early development of Canada?
  • What have been the effects of British Imperialism in Canada...
    • on the First Nations?
    • on the French?
    • on other ethnic minorities & immigration?
    • on Canadian identity?
  • How have Canadian-American tensions shaped Canadian history?

We will address all of these while building important academic skills to prepare students for Grade 11, 12, and University.
