Ahead of Remembrance Day, poll suggests most Canadians don’t know much about their history
As people gather to remember those who fought and died to protect this country in past wars, a new poll suggests many Canadians know little about their country’s history.
That’s likely because high school students in most provinces and territories are not required to take a Canadian history class before graduating, experts say.
Many Canadians are in the dark about the people who helped build this country and the seminal moments that define its past and could inform its future, according to an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Historica Canada — the educational charity best known for producing the Heritage Minutes.
