People have their own reasons for their actions; by studying Canadian history I have been able to view events from another’s perspective.
The ingenuity and perseverance that pioneers demonstrated resonate with me - they are a strong foundation in this country that we call home.
I wanted to bring light to a man who has done so much, but received very little recognition.
I wanted to delve deeper into the history of Aboriginal Peoples.
I chose this question because this year is the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge and we have a Vimy Oak planted right here in Waterdown.
Vimy Ridge helped awaken Canadian nationalism but it also played a huge role in splitting the politics of Canada for decades to come.
