Current Theme - Citizenship/Immigration Mashup
We will wrap up our year with a bit of mash up of themes. We're going to focus on several topics related to the history of immigration to what is now Canada leading to a look at the current state of immigration and citizenship. 

​Topics for discussion/investigation include:
  • the timeline of immigration beginning with the arrival of the first indigenous people, arrival of European traders and on to current trends
  • Consider the requirements for immigration, looking at the categories set by the Gov't of Canada
  • Learn about time in our collective history when government action made it more difficult for certain ethnicities to enter Canada
  • Students will take a fun citizenship test to measure what they know compared to the knowledge immigrants must master

Citizenship test - how much do you know about Canada? Would you qualify based on the required testing?
