Canadian Frontiers and Homeland--Journeys and Discoveries
Necessity and a spirit of adventure lead some people to take risks and make discoveries. These individuals seek landscapes that are different from the ones in which they were comfortable; they seek solutions to problems faced in their times. This unit presents opportunities to investigate those people who have extended their frontiers and, subsequently, influenced the lives of others. We, in turn, define ourselves by where they have been--their experiences and the people and places that have influenced those experiences
.
Stories are powerful. They are a journey and a joining. In a tale we meet new places, new people, new ideas. And they become our places, our people, our ideas.
