Canada hasn't always looked the way it does now. Provinces have joined. Territories have been added, and one has actually been taken away.
In a small group of two or three people you are going to create a historical map of Canada.
- You'll pick from one of the years shown at the right.
- On a piece of paper about 60 cm by 60 cm (roughly 2 feet by 2 feet), you and your group will create a scale version of the map you've chosen.
- The map should be colored in a way similar to the original map, though you don't have to use the exact same color choices.
- If the original map has a large section of white, color that section a different color.
- The map should be neat and to scale.
- All maps, regardless of the year, should label, the three oceans, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Hudson Bay, and all the provinces, territories and districts.
- There should be a label showing what year your map is showing.
- Provinces, territories, districts should all be neatly labelled.
