Mar. 3, 2009 - Get Your FREE Copy of the 'Symbols of Canada'
I just learned of an excellent resource to add to your Canadian studies that I want to share with you :) The Department of Canadian Heritage is providing free copies of the Symbols of Canada booklet to anyone who requests it via mail or online at their website as a PDF download which you can access directly here.
It is full of color illustrations, loads of information on how Canada got its name, official symbols of Canada, the Commonwealth, historical flags and boundaries, plus it goes into depth on each province and territory providing info on their individual mottos, flags, symbols, stats and more! A really nice perk at the end of the booklet is a full color fold out poster that condenses all of the Canadian symbols into a nice format to hang on your school wall for easy reference and they also provide suggestions for classroom activities!
I phoned today and requested my copy and I would suggest that you do the same if you want your own because there is a limited quantity available :)

This looks absolutley fantastic! I guess I'm a little late to get a copy but I'm trying!
I'm in the UK, but have family in Kamloops and will be visiting in May/June.
Wish I'd have thought of looking for this blog before now! I help to run the UK blog.
God bless you!
