Overview
Diversity. Whether it’s geography, language, climate, or culture, diversity is what Canada’s all about. This collection celebrates Canada’s rich history, its place in the world, and its multi-cultural traditions, sports, and outdoor lifestyle. Read about Canada Day celebrations, wilderness adventures, summer cottages, and winter hockey rinks.
You’ll love these tales about grateful immigrants, national heroes, proud First Nations people, Canadian kindness, and helping each other. Shed a tear when you read about Canadian war heroes, and laugh when you read about uniquely Canadian outdoor “adventures.”
You’ll be humming “O Canada” by the time you finish this patriotic collection of stories that come from the hearts of the people who love Canada and everything it stands for.
