A Week as a Student

Your "Intro to Canadian History" lecture starts the week, tracing early settlements. Dr. Dubois projects maps, explaining the impact of geography on colonial development. You diligently fill your notebook, realizing how much pre-federation history there is to cover. Later, you grab lunch with new friends, discussing the surprising complexity of early Indigenous-European relations. The sheer volume of names and dates feels daunting but fascinating.
