CIV421A

CIV421A allows students to understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be an engaged citizen in their school, community, country and globally. Through the exploration of issues of civic importance and understanding the influence of social media, they will understand the role of civic engagement and explore the ways they can serve their communities. They will investigate the structure, operation, and selection of governments in Canada, including federal, provincial, territorial, Indigenous, and municipal government models. The application of political thinking concepts will engage students in the political inquiry process as they investigate and communicate informed opinions about issues of political importance and developments of global, and national significance and of personal interest to them.
