Identity is the values and characteristics that define a person. My Canadian identity consists of three main factors: respect for the sacrifices my family and others have made for our country; gratitude for the values of Canada and the unity within our country and throughout the world; and pride in Canada’s accomplishments. Canada’s historical events have had the greatest influence on my identity, specifically the World Wars and the Halifax explosion.
I chose this question because growing up I had heard stories of my family's participation in the World Wars.
We chose this question because it spoke to us in a way that we can connect to by thinking about our Canadian identity.
J'ai choisi la question, car la bataille de la crête de Vimy et son 100e anniversaire ont profondément marqué mon identité canadienne.
