Canada in the Contemporary World 10F (CCW10F)

Course Description

​This course is designed to help young people understand, meet challenges, and think critically in and about Canada.  Canadian Studies will focus on the physical geography, some regional challenges, and our multicultural character in Canada.  French-English relations may also surface as a component of the course.  The government, as well as the legal and economic systems will provide further direction for this course.  One key goal in Canadian Studies is to promote tolerance, understanding, and acceptance of the many cultures represented in the Canadian mosaic. ​
