Past Winners 2009

Back in the fall of 2009, Kayak held its first-ever Illustrated History Challenge. To our delight, kids from all over Canada entered the contest. We received more than 350 awesome stories, all of them exploring fascinating aspects of Canadian history.

This exclusive edition of Kayak features the top 25 finalists of our 2009 challenge, including the winning stories by Zoé Banville and Charlotte McNeely. We hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as we did!
