Introduction
This webquest is designed to guide your online inquiry into the actions of several European explorers who discovered Canada in the early years.
These daring and brave men faced the unknown and set out across vast oceans, each with different motives driving them and unique obstacles to overcome. Ultimately, they all stepped foot on what is now called Canada and they have left their mark here forever in some way.
Enjoy your Quest,
Ms. Dunlop
