Let’s have some fun this week. Using the Open Forum link on the left, ask a question, make an observation, tell a story (G-Rated please), or relate an experience that you feel others would like to share. Topics don’t have to be Canadian history-related, but they certainly can be, if students wish. When everyone has posted something, read through the topics and reply to at least three of them in which you have an interest. Since this discussion may take a little longer to complete, we will set Friday, June 4 at 11:59 as the deadline. Remember, do not respond to this post. Click on the Open Forum link to the left and do all your responding there.

Since we are studying Canada’s role in World War One, it seems only right to honor people who should be remembered for their service to this country in the First World War. That leads us to this week’s response:
