My name is Deanna Brady and I am a second year student in the Bachelor of Arts program here at Thompson Rivers University. I play on the women’s soccer team and plan to further my education by getting my BEd. I took this course for credit for the Canadian content course for the primary education here at TRU. The extent of my knowledge of Canadian history could be easily summed by grade nine and ten high school social studies. I was unsure as to what this course would entail but it has in fact opened my eyes to a lot of Canadian history that I didn’t know previously existed. The word “Canadian” has so many generalizations surrounding it that it was very enlightening to be able to learn about the history that in fact made Canada the place that it is today.
