Unit 3 Introduction
Unit 3 Introduction
During the Age of Exploration, Europeans began to explore North America and immigration soon followed. Immigration has continued, and Canada has become a multicultural and diverse nation.
In 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms acknowledged the collective identities and collective rights of the founding groups of Canada: the Aboriginal peoples, the Anglophones, and the Francophones. Today, Canada has laws and policies to ensure the rights of all Canadians.
In Unit 3, you will examine how the government of Canada protects all Canadians through the establishment of collective rights and an immigration policy that works to strengthen the nation.
