You get the best idea of where the world is going by knowing where it's been. Explore the diverse stories and identities that have made a lasting impact on Canadian society and the world at large. Learn the importance of perspective, context and research, and see how history plays a role in pop culture and everyday life. Think critically about what shapes history and is shaped by it: politics, culture, society, religion.
