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.
Depuis un jeune âge, j’ai une passion pour l’histoire.
Canada’s immigration policy before the Holocaust greatly impacted me, a Jewish Canadian three generations later.
