Socials Studies 9

Course Code: MSS–09
This course offers students the opportunity to explore Canada’s history from early contact with First Nations peoples, to the inception as a colony of France, to its entry into the British Commonwealth, and establishment of a nation. During this time period Canada began to develop a sense of identity that was influenced by political, social, and economic events both within and outside the country. Students will also study the physical geography of Canada and how that influenced the early development of Canada as a country.

Socials Studies 9 Honours
