THE CANADIAN COLD WAR
Abstract
The events of the Cold War (1945-1991) touched every part of Canada, from East to
West and North to South. Although discussions about the Cold War are often limited to the events
and political players of the United States of America and the Soviet Union, Canada made major
contributions to the international community. This resource pack provides activities to explore the
Cold War period through many different lenses, using photographs, film, primary source documents
and maps to examine Canada’s approaches and set-backs during this period.
