Parks Canada presents Lévis Forts : Québec's Unsung Guardians
This network activity, Lévis Forts : Québec's Unsung Guardians, is being hosted by LEARN in collaboration with Parks Canada. The intended audience for this session is Cycle 3 (Grades 5 & 6) Elementary students.
Through an engaging and interactive historical inquiry, students delve into the threats facing Canada in the 19th century, while exploring the strategic significance of the Grand Trunk Railway and the critical role of transportation networks in shaping the country’s development. By analyzing maps, period imagery, and remarkable archaeological remains, they gain insight into the decisions of engineers and military leaders, all while developing and testing their own hypotheses. This immersive learning experience offers a compelling blend of critical thinking, discovery, and active participation.
