Social Studies 9 considers a wide range of thematic topics that not only explain Canada’s development as a nation from 1750 to 1919, but also provides a foundation for deeper exploration of places, people, and history beyond our borders.
Thematic topics of study include:

• political, social, economic and technological revolutions.
• the continuing effects of imperialism and colonialism.
• patterns of migration and population growth.
• the development of nationalism
• local, regional, and global conflicts
• discriminatory policies, attitudes, and historical wrongdoings.

There are also opportunities for discussion of current Canadian political and social issues.
