This contest was a great opportunity for me to share my background with people while teaching them something about their country's past.
I chose this question because I want to explore my Canadian Identity and to value everything that happened in the past.
I felt I had a strong personal connection to this topic, and could really tie in my own experiences as a Canadian.
Franklin's maps and the subsequent search for his last expedition, provided the information needed to expand into this area.
Expo 67 was Canada’s monumental centennial birthday celebration, launching Canada into the eyes of the international public.
I was interested in the socio-political implications of Expo because of its lasting effects on the national identity of Canada.
