#CBE182 Day 151: Margeaux Montgomery, Teacher, Twelve Mile Coulee School

This year we have been exploring the question, 'Who are we as Canadians?' and have specifically looked at the construct of identity. We have studied the origin of the word and have discussed ways that our personal identities can evolve and change over time and yet some aspects continue to remain the same. This has led us to examine how the construct of identity can be extended to a broader scope to encompass Canadian identity and how places shape who we are as individuals, communities and countries.
 
We have explored our personal family history and experimented with different forms of poetry to create verses that reflect our personal identity and also our place-identity that was inspired by our family histories. We have discovered how our geographic location and the communities we are surrounded in shape our identities. 
 
Through listening to others stories of living in another place or country and then moving to Canada, we have been able to understand the many personal stories that create who we are collectively as "Canadians".  One quote that stood out to us from one of our guests was that he viewed his immigration story as a "history of hope" because although he experienced hardship and loss, his story was filled with hope and new opportunities.
 
We are looking forward to using our expert’s stories as inspiration in creating our own empathy pieces to highlight the stories of belonging and what it means to be part of our unique and diverse country.
