1929–1939 – Great Depression

📉 The Great Depression in Canada

The Great Depression (1929–1939) devastated Canada's economy — particularly the Prairie provinces, where drought and falling wheat prices combined to create the "Dirty Thirties." This documentary-style video covers the stock market crash of 1929, mass unemployment, the Bennett government's response, the rise of new political movements (CCF, Social Credit), and how the Depression reshaped Canadian society and government responsibility.

⚔️ Canada and the Second World War

Canada's role in World War II was enormous relative to its population — over one million Canadians served in the army, navy, and air force. This lesson covers Canada's declaration of war in 1939, the Battle of the Atlantic, the Dieppe Raid, the Italian Campaign, D-Day and the liberation of the Netherlands, the internment of Japanese Canadians, and how the war transformed Canada's economy and national confidence.

Identity & Society

🍁 What It Means to Be Canadian

A central theme of CHC2D is the evolution of Canadian identity — from a British colony to an independent, multicultural nation. This video explores what it means to be Canadian today: multiculturalism, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Indigenous reconciliation, bilingualism, and Canada's role on the world stage. An ideal resource for the identity and society units of Grade 10 Canadian History.
