Atlantic Canada and Our Environment
The Atlantic Provinces form a unique region of Canada. We have learned about how the people who settled here came from all over the world hundreds or thousands of years ago. We know these migrants or settlers brought with them their culture, their way of life. We have studied how the identity of Atlantic Canada was shaped by the people who settled here: Vikings, Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Innu and Inuit, Beothuk, English, Scottish, Irish, French and Loyalists.
Next, we will investigate the relationship between Atlantic Canada’s environment and our way of life.
Each day, you will be given a topic to investigate. You can use the internet for research or discuss the topic with your family. You are encouraged to jot down some notes on your findings.
