Has Canada Always Been a Multicultural Country? Righting Wrongs Case Studies

   

What is this group’s “history” in Canada? How have they experienced legally sanctioned discrimination? Design a script where your group will role-play the history and make your own decision about whether or not to accept the compensation offered.

•       Scene 1: history of group immigrating to Canada/establishing themselves there

•       Scene 2: what happened that was discriminatory

•       Scene 3: the government apology/ decision to accept/decline apology

Community Exploration: Town Rankings

Our newest Social Studies assignment will involve an analysis of changes in the ethnic makeup of the following communities: Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Timmins, Brampton, Peterborough, Mississauga, London. You will compare both photographs and population data.

Photo source: http://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/mapped-10-years-of-unprecedented-change-in-canadas-cities/

1. Learn a little about each of the communities above (all towns in Ontario).

2. Find a historical photo of each community.

3. Use Google Map’s “Streetview”. Snip or print-screen your findings to do a side by side photo comparison (it would be especially cool if you could compare the same street). 

4. Compare the past and present using the images AND websites from the previous demography assignment (ethnic breakdown of each community/city in graph, or table form).

5. Your goal is to make an informed decision about which communities are the MOST culturally similar to the past, and which communities are the LEAST culturally similar to the past.

Graphs, charts, and data tables will come from a previous blog post. Other useful websites may include the official city/town websites, which I've linked for you below.
