WWI as a Turning Point in Canadian History


- Was the Great War the beginning of Canada as an independent nation, not just a colony of the British Empire? What do you think?

"Passchendaele" - the feature film


- Give your own review of Paul Gross's feature film, "Passchendaele".
- Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend as a grade-wide field trip as we didn't have enough students handing in their permission forms etc. on time, but we encourage you to go and see the movie on your own and let us know what you think about it.
- As well, if you check the link below from the Dominion Institute, there is a letter writing contest that you can enter.
