Canada is a place of great promise and acceptance. It has been a top ranked country for many years and one of the world leaders in upholding civil and human rights. For 150 years Canada has been home for many people from all walks of life. The fight for just immigration laws, gender equality and black rights in Nova Scotia were turning points in Canadian History that influenced my personal sense of Canadian identity.
My favourite part of Canadian History is connecting past events and to the events of today, and how they affect us in the present.
Canada’s immigration policy before the Holocaust greatly impacted me, a Jewish Canadian three generations later.
I chose this question because I wanted the opportunity to share how my identity has been shaped as a Canadian, female student.
