The “Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History” project provides engaging, high-quality materials to schools and universities for the teaching of historical methods and Canadian History. The project builds on the new “document-centred inquiry” and “active learning” pedagogical thinking. The beauty of this format is that students have to make their research strategy and critical-thinking skills apparent as they defend their theory.
Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History
Tiled Map – Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada
This map offers a unique perspective on our country’s geography that is vital to understanding the history and diverse cultures of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Setting aside the political boundaries of provinces and territories, this map instead focuses on historical treaties and land claims, the distribution of Indigenous language families, the locations of reserves and band councils, the formers sites of residential schools, and more.
This tiled map is composed of 64 tiles and when put together measures 2.7 metres by 2 metres (105 inches by 78 inches).
Student Vote
Student Vote is a parallel election for students under the voting age, coinciding with federal, provincial, territorial and municipal elections. The purpose is to provide young Canadians with an opportunity to experience the voting process firsthand and build the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. The program is open to all schools and there is no cost to participate. Registered schools are supplied with free pedagogical materials, posters and election supplies.
