About the Event
Whether it’s the fur trade, gold rush, collapse of cod fisheries or the Great Depression, applying an economic way of thinking can help us to better understand important events in Canadian history. Economic Episodes in Canadian History gives teachers resources to incorporate the economic lens in their multi-perspective approach to understanding key historical events so students can discover the important insights the economic way of thinking adds to social, political and geographic perspectives. Teachers will receive classroom ready lessons and fun active-learning simulations to enhance students’ understanding of history and expand their critical thinking skills.
