Consider the following:

How would you feel leaving Canada and starting new in a different country?

• What challenges would you face?

• What important things in your life would you have to give up - would you have to stop speaking English and learn a new language? Would you be able to give up certain traditions you have in Canada?

Have students define legacy & tradition with a dictionary or the internet. Then, consider the following:

• What kind of traditions or legacies did your ancestors bring to your family?

• What would you want YOUR legacy to be?

• What’s the difference between legacy and tradition?

• Do you believe the stories of previous generations and communities entering Canada and Edmonton add to the legacy of our city?

• Is it important to hear these stories? Why or why not?

• Do these past stories help us to know what to change moving forward with future immigrants or refugees?

• What do you think Canada’s legacy has been through history when diverse cultures come to our country? Is this legacy positive or negative for our country?

• How do you think we can improve upon the legacy in the future?
