How has immigration shaped the past and present of Canada? Who came here and why? How did the immigrant experience differ for groups of people? In this program, students will explore archival documents to discover Canada’s forging of the confederation and its immigration policy. Join us for a walk through Alberta’s history, exploring the challenges faced by the early newcomers and the roles they played in making Canada the wonderfully diverse and multicultural nation it is today. (Social Studies)
