Despite being a fairly new country, as were were officially discovered 150 years ago, we still do have our historical figures who helped shape what Canada has become today. The historical figures are being referenced are: Willam Van Horne, Clifford Soften, and Sir John A. MacDonald. While there are many notable people that contributed to Canada’s development, those three made the most impactful impression on those studying Canadian history. Without those three, Canada would not be where it is…

Constable Peters set up the recorder and turned it on. ‘So,’ he said, ‘tell me what you and Ashleigh did once you left the house.’ His voice was softer now, it reminded Jo of Grandpa Tom, of sitting on the back veranda with him when she was little…

Canadian Coat of Arms Canada’s coat of arms is an important design that contains highly important symbols, but some of these need to be refreshed.
