Welcome to my site where I am bringing you the history of Canada and the Canadians.  While it will be years of work to bring you everything I want to there is already lots of information up already for you to enjoy. You can also learn along with me as I add to the site in the coming years. Should you have something to contribute I'd love to hear from you.

The sections available are...

General History
This section brings you the history of Canada as well as the history of all the Provinces and also includes histories of the ethnic groups found in Canada including the First Nations.

Makers of Canada
In this section you will learn of the really important people that helped to build Canada to what it is today. We will also bring you a section in here of other important Canadians as we find them.

Pioneering
Here we explore the process that the Pioneers went through to settle the land so you get a better understanding of the challenges they faced and how they overcame them.

Canadian Armed Forces
Here we will research the various Canadian regiments and what they did for Canada as well as the history of the RCMP.

Industry & Transport
In such a massive country transport links had to be developed which was a major undertaking and especially the Canadian Pacific Railway. We will also explore the various Industrial and Commercial sectors.

Religion
Here we explore how religion developed in Canada and the important work the churches and their ministers did to help build not only churches but schools as well.

Lifestyle
This is where we bring you information on culture, sports, music, and if possible some travel information on Canada and their Provinces.

My Canadian Experience
Alastair's record of settling in Canada. The Dept. of Immigration suggested that it would be interesting if I documented my experiences in coming to Canada and the progress I made towards getting Permanent Landed Status and then on to Citizenship.  I don't pretend this is an exciting read as there is a lot of mundane stuff but you might find it of interest and especially if you are thinking of settling in Canada.
