Welcome to the Miniature Canada Project

What does it mean to be Canadian? This question doesn't come with a simple little answer that we can all memorize before we move on to our next social studies lesson. Instead, it leads to more questions. For example, what do Canadians look like? What do Canadians value? Through the Miniature Canada Project we gather and interpret statistical data and create our own visual representations of what it means to be Canadian.

Miniature Canada is a three-step project that involves viewing, researching, creating. First, you view the Miniature Earth video. Next, you complete research at the Statistics Canada website. Finally, you use your research data to create your own Miniature Canada Show. When your show is ready for viewing, just post your work on youtube and send us the address.

You can choose a broad or narrow focus for this project. For example, you could focus solely on the health of Canadians. Chosing a broad focus means including stats from a wide variety of areas.
