A Capital View of Canada: Nations within a NationWestin Hotel - Ottawa, ON (with a daytrip to Montréal, QC)
"This was the best teacher workshop ever - to be immersed in Canadian culture right here in Ottawa. The mixture of in-class lectures to hands-on learning and tours was amazing! It was the epitome of true “engagement” learning. History came alive this week for me." - 7/2011 comment by Mary Snow Thornton (Orangeburg, SC)
