When the COVID-19 pandemic swept Canada last spring, students were forced to deal with sudden closures and cancellations as everything from classes and concerts to school trips and sporting events were shut down.
For thousands of students, this also meant missing out on their annual heritage fairs — public exhibitions of student research projects about Canadian history.
Despite the disruption, many students continued their research at home and created short videos on an aspect of Canadian history for the Young Citizens program.
Canada's History is proud to share the work of this new cohort of young Canadian filmmakers. You are encouraged to view the videos, leave a comment or story, and support the next generation of storytellers.

Le Canadarm
Le Canadarm
Imagine-toi en train de faire le tour de la Terre dans une navette spatiale… Tu vois dehors un objet brillant et étrange. Tu aimerais bien aller le chercher, mais à cause de l’absence de gravité, tout ce que tu veux prendre s’éloigne dès que tu y touches !
Jusqu’en 1981, ce problème était une source constante de frustration pour les astronautes de la NASA. Cette année-là, un groupe d’ingénieurs canadiens de Brampton (Ontario) a finalisé un instrument tout à fait extraordinaire : le Canadarm. Ce « bras » robotique de 15 mètres, fixé à une navette, se déplie pour lancer des objets dans l’espace ou les récupérer. Les astronautes le manipulent à distance, à l’aide de télécommandes.
Le Canadarm a participé à plus de 50 missions. Il a effectué diverses tâches, depuis la récupération de satellites jusqu’à la construction de la Station spatiale internationale, en passant par la réparation du télescope Hubble.

Bien que lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador ne fasse pas encore partie du Canada, elle était néanmoins impliquée dans le conflit. Dans cette histoire, nous avons imaginé des sous-marins allemands torpillant le port de Bell Island en 1942.

Brittany Luby and her ancestors are from the Lake of the Woods area, most of which is now within northwestern Ontario. In her multiple-award-winning book Dammed: The Politics of Loss and Survival in Anishinaabe Territory, she writes that the Anishinabeg have “since time immemorial” lived and fished along the waterways of the Winnipeg River drainage basin that includes the lake and that extends into parts of Manitoba and Minnesota.
