Canadian History Timeline Posters

Canada’s rich history is clearly illustrated with this lengthy 44-page timeline. When arranged side-by-side, this exhibit extends more than 30 feet in length and makes an easily-viewed display for your classroom or school hallway. This timeline is cleverly illustrated with fun cartoon characters in original artwork and serves as an easy-to-comprehend reference to the sequence of important events in Canada’s history. Ready-to-hang printables are 8.5”x11” letter-size. This is a scale timeline that features one event from each decade from 1670 to present with a running year indicator along the bottom of each page, along with important events of the 16,500 BC Bering crossing, indigenous settlement, Norse exploration, European discovery, and Canada’s first colonial settlement. This set includes a full-color version plus a black-and-white version (for those teachers who would like to assign timeline events to be colored and researched by individual students). Includes a blank template poster so teachers or students can add events of their own to the timeline.

NOTE: I‘d be happy to provide a version of my timeline in French if anyone out there would be willing to help me with a translation. I’ve had 4 years of French, but I don’t trust my accuracy (since that was over 30 years ago). E-mail: bross57@yahoo.com
