Our Vision:
By engaging in Canadian and World studies programs students will be headed on a path to become responsible, active citizens within the diverse communities to which we all belong. Through creative inquiry based learning, students will become critically thoughtful and informed citizens who value an inclusive society, as well as developing the skills they need to solve problems and communicate ideas and decisions about significant local and global developments, events, and issues.
Our Goals:
Canadian and World Studies students will realize the vision for the program as they:
• develop the ability to use the “concepts of disciplinary thinking” to investigate issues, events, and developments;
• develop the ability to determine and apply appropriate criteria to evaluate information and evidence and to make judgements;
• develop skills and personal attributes that are needed for discipline-specific inquiry and that can be transferred to other areas in life;
• build collaborative and cooperative working relationships;
• use appropriate technology as a tool to help them gather and analyse information, solve problems, and communicate.
