A Trip Across Canada

We are going to take a journey across Canada (a pretend one) from now until the end of June 2010. Each week we will visit a different province and learn all about it. I hope you will join us on our journey. I hope to include links to on-line resources, printables, and some free downloads to go with our study.

To kick start our journey, we are going to request travel brochures from all the provinces and territories.  These will trickle in as we are doing our study. They will provide a more detailed look at each of the provinces.

Your first assignment is to visit each of these websites and request your travel brochures. I have included direct links to the request pages. I believe Quebec and New Brunswick are the only provinces that only have on-line travel brochures available.

Travel Brochures

Come join us again next Tuesday! Week 2
