This unit was developed for the use of teachers for grades four through nine. A variety of learning styles and subjects have been included. As a result, this unit is not designed to be used as a whole, but each section should be used at its own time with the most appropriate grade or group. This unit is designed to acquaint students with Canadians who chose lives of excellence and who rose above labels and mythical stereotypes through their work in medicine, science, language, government and the arts. 48 pages.
