This activity helps students understand the historical context, issues, key figures and consequences of the Conquest.

This is followed by a workshop devoted to making a cartridge in the manner of 18th-century soldiers. Dressed as soldiers and equipped with wooden rifles, the children simulate a rank and file battle outdoors. If weather conditions do not permit the outdoor activity, it will be substituted by an indoor activity.

Internment Camp S/43 – New: includes escape game!
Visit, escape game and debate
Introduce
your students to a little-known episode in Montreal’s history that dates back
to World War II. From 1940 to 1943, the Fort on St. Helen’s Island became a
detention centre for 400 Italian merchant seamen and civilians held as
prisoners of war. Their living conditions are revealed during a guided tour of
the buildings that features archival documents and testimonials from former
detainees. Following the tour, students find themselves enclosed in one of the
rooms of Camp S/43, and their challenge is to escape by following clues and
finding keys and a tunnel map. At the end of the activity, they take part in a
group discussion on the deprivation of liberty in times of war and draw
similarities with today’s world.
