Who We Are

This chapter explores the roots of Canada’s identity, beginning with the history and traditions of Aboriginal peoples, and extending to the cultural diversity that shapes the nation today. You’ll learn how Canada’s two official languages, English and French, reflect its unique heritage, and how shared values such as equality, respect, and freedom bring people from different backgrounds together. By the end, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of who Canadians are as a people and the principles that unite the country.
