Traces of the Past (Quebec 1980)

This interactive Canva whiteboard activity is designed to help students bridge the gap between Quebec in 1980 and their lives today. Using an engaging virtual whiteboard, learners match elements of the past, like the James Bay Project, Bill 101, and the Consumer Protection Act, to their modern-day “traces”.

Then, students need to explain the impact of the elements and their traces, and reflect on which traces have the greatest impact on their daily lives, all while building their Digital Competency!
