We just moved from Canada! We were there for three years and loved it.
We did an in depth study of the geography (all of the Provinces, the capitals and what they were known for), visited historical sites, focused on Aboriginal peoples (we lived on Vancouver Island so this was extremely easy) and learned about famous Canadian historical figures such as Terry Fox and Emily Carr.
What part of Canuck-land are you in? Enjoy some Timmy's for us, we miss Canada very much!
