Made up of majestic mountain peaks, sprawling prairie lands, wild boreal forests, arctic tundras, and the longest coastline in the world, Canada's natural wonders make the world's second-largest country a top destination for outdoor adventure.

Canada is comprised of 20 designated Unesco World Heritage Sites and 48 protected national parks, all with protocols in place to ensure that some of the country’s most magnificent natural wonders are preserved and the wildlife and ecosystems remain protected.

From Canada’s answer to the Swiss Alps to The Amazon of the North, these are the 12 best natural wonders found around Canada.

Le 4 août 1914, le Canada entre en guerre aux côtés des Britanniques contre l’Allemagne et l’Autriche-Hongrie. Partout au pays, des hommes et des femmes s’enrôlent, pour défendre leur patrie d’origine, par esprit d’aventure, par sens du devoir ou encore pour l’expérience, comme le révèlent les histoires de Richard Steacie, de Blanche Lavallée, d’Arthur Giguère ou d’Erol Lizotte. Le 20 octobre 1914, le 22e Bataillon, premier corps canadien-français, est créé. En avril 1915, les troupes canadiennes participent à leur première grande bataille à Ypres en Belgique : c’est leur baptême du feu.

Voici 5 podcasts au sujet de la Grande Guerre de 1914-1918.

Grains are a staple food in households around the world.

They have three parts: the bran (the nutritious outer layer), the germ (the seed’s nutrient-rich embryo) and the endosperm (the germ’s food supply, which is high in starchy carbs).

Whole grains are simply grains that have all three parts intact. They’re typically high in iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, B vitamins and dietary fiber.

Interestingly, choosing whole grains over refined grains has been linked to lower risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and more.

Here are 14 healthy whole-grain foods.

In Rick Wormeli’s article Redos and Retakes Done Right, he states “allowing students to redo assignments and assessments is the best way to prepare them for adult life.”
According to Wormeli, many teachers feel that denying students opportunities to show their full potential after providing substantial results builds ‘moral fibre’. These teachers have the mindset that there should be rigid deadlines for assignments and that marks should be taken off for late submissions, and even give zeroes in some situations. Wormeli counters by claiming that “these practices have the opposite effect: They retard student achievement and maturation.”
In Kenaston School, specifically in math and the senior sciences, students have the opportunity to redo assessments in 2011-2012. Teachers have taken Wormeli’s guidelines into consideration, applying some of his recommendations. Kenaston teachers advise that by incorporating Wormeli’s ideas into practice, teachers can make redos fair for both the student and teacher.

The ability to gather and analyze different types of evidence is one of the most important competencies for anyone who conducts investigations. There are many types of evidence that help the investigator make decisions during a case, even if they aren’t direct proof of an event or claim.

The first rule is that evidence must be relevant to the investigation. If it is not directly related to the case it isn’t relevant evidence. That said, there are many types of evidence that, while not admissible in court, can be valuable to an investigator trying to reach a conclusion in a workplace investigation or other non-criminal investigation. And even some evidence that is not admissible on its own may be admissible in conjunction with other types of evidence.
