Abstract
These lessons seek to engage students with key developments surrounding Canada’s
participation in the Cold War and to demonstrate the historical significance that this global
conflict held for Canada as a nation. Students will partake in the investigation of a variety of
primary sources in order to examine, analyze, and evaluate past and present perspectives of
Canada as a tolerant and peacekeeping nation and will learn to question the value and legitimacy
of these perspectives.
