THE CANADIAN COLD WAR

Abstract

The events of the Cold War (1945-1991) touched every part of Canada, from East to West and North to South. Although discussions about the Cold War are often limited to the events and political players of the United States of America and the Soviet Union, Canada made major contributions to the international community. This resource pack provides activities to explore the Cold War period through many different lenses, using photographs, film, primary source documents and maps to examine Canada’s approaches and set-backs during this period.
