It can also be used by any student wishing to learn more about Canada, or in any history or social studies classroom. This guide covers topics found on the Government of Canada’s citizenship test, exploring testable content more in-depth to help readers put the information in context. The guide invites students to deepen their knowledge of Canada’s past and present in order to gain a fuller understanding of the country.  \nAlthough this education guide covers many key moments and important topics, it is not comprehensive. We encourage students and educators to seek out additional resources to explore the many aspects of Canada we are unable to cover in a single education guide. While the education guide activities follow a chronological order, the lessons may be used in order or on their own. The activities in this guide are designed for classroom use, or for those engaged in self-guided study. The production of Historica Canada’s education guides involves many people. Education experts and Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) service providers created the content and lesson plans in this guide.  \nONLINE  \nRESOURCES  \nThese resources are used in the guide to support activities. You may choose to look for additional resources, either on the internet or in print. Articles from The Canadian Encyclopedia mentioned in this guide can be found at  \nthecanadianencyclopedia.ca.  \nAll worksheets noted in the education guide can be downloaded from the Historica Canada Education Portal at education. historicacanada.ca/en/tools/650  \nOther resources include:  \nHistorica Canada’s Heritage Minutes  \nHistoricacanada.ca/heritageminutes  \nThe Citizenship Challenge  \n[Citizenshipchallenge.ca](Citizenshipchallenge.ca)  \nImmigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)– Canadian Citizenship  \n[Canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees](Canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees)citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship. html  \nThe Memory Project  \n[Thememoryproject.com](Thememoryproject.com)  \nCOVER IMAGES:  \nThe Rocky Mountains as seen from Banff National Park  \n(Dreamstime/Akudiusz Iwanicki/8308107).  \nImage of the Toronto skyline (Dreamstime/Chon Kit Leong/139068558).  \nThe Parliament buildings in Ottawa (Dreamstime/ Py2000/16339360).  \n2  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWhat is the story of Canada? Canada has many diverse histories and identities. To help us understand Canada’s past and present, we must share these stories from a variety of perspectives.  \nThe purpose of this education guide is to help you better understand Canada’s history, culture, and geography, and prepare you for the citizenship test. The guide includes activities and resources to help you explore Canada’s past and its people. You will learn about Canada’s present as well. The guide has information about geography, human rights, and quality of life in Canada.  \nThe guide explores how Canada’s system of government works today, and the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizens. It encourages you to participate in the democratic process by becoming an active citizen. You will learn how to play a role in improving your communities and your country. The guide will help you reflect more deeply on Canada’s people, history, and what it means to be Canadian.  \nYou can complete the activities in this guide in a classroom, or on your own. Many of the activities in the guide ask you to visit The Canadian Encyclopedia, where you will find detailed information on the topic you are learning about. We encourage you to explore The Canadian Encyclopedia to deepen your understanding of Canada’s past and present.  \nPREPARING FOR THE CITIZENSHIP TEST  \nThe Government of Canada’s citizenship test evaluates your knowledge of Canada. Passing the citizenship test brings you one step closer to becoming a Canadian citizen.
