Who are We?

An identity question is hard to narrow down, maybe it doesn’t need to be narrowed at all or it is simply impossible to do.
We are people that now call Canada home, even if our family or ancestors were from somewhere else. Write an acrostic poem using the words. “Canada who are we” to explore what we are all about. Use the discussions, debates and videos from today to inform your thinking.

    Canada is my country
    A place with different cultures
    No other place like this
    A red maple leaf on the flag
    Dearest to everyone and the best
    Accepting everyone from everywhere

    Where people have the rights to do whatever they want to do
    Hockey is our national sport
    Oh Canada my home

    A place where I love to be
    Red and white protects us
    Everyone has freedom and rights

    We are proud to be canadians
    Exellent and fun
