Featured lesson: [|Immigration and emigration]
Help your students to understand that Canada is indeed a country of immigrants with many different cultures and ethnic origins represented in our current Canadian population. Examine immigration as a factor of population growth and the 'push' and 'pull' factors that determine why people leave one region or country and are attracted to another. In this excellent social studies and history lesson for the intermediate level, students use statistics from various editions of the **//Historical Canada Year Book//** to gain an understanding of where immigrants settled in Canada and from which countries they emigrated. They will see how immigration affected the overall population of Canada during the period from 1867 to 1967, the period when the most immigrants arrived. Also, take your students back in time with the brief video vignette **[|One hundred years of immigration to Canada]**. Another general lesson on population [|Calculating population growth for a region] helps students understand the components of population growth and leads to an appreciation of how the components of population growth can be used for civic planning.
 * As the world population clock turned 7 billion**, Canada’s contribution to that population was estimated at just over 34.5 million.

Leçon en vedette: [|Immigration et émigration]
Aidez vos élèves à comprendre que le Canada est bel et bien un pays d’immigrants dont les nombreuses cultures et origines ethniques s’observent dans la population actuelle du pays. Examinez la contribution de l’immigration à la croissance démographique ainsi que les facteurs d’« incitation » et d’« attraction » qui déterminent pourquoi certaines personnes quittent une région ou un pays et sont attirées ailleurs. Dans cette excellente leçon d’études sociales et d’histoire qui s’adresse aux élèves de niveau intermédiaire, ceux-ci emploient les statistiques de diverses éditions de l’**//Annuaire du Canada//** tirées de la **//Collection historique//** pour savoir où les immigrants se sont installés au Canada et de quels pays ils ont émigré. Ils verront le rôle qu’a joué l’immigration dans l’évolution de la population globale du Canada de 1867 à 1967, période durant laquelle le plus grand nombre d’immigrants sont arrivés. En outre, remontez dans le temps avec vos élèves avec la brève capsule vidéo **[|Cent ans d’immigration au Canada]**. La leçon intitulée [|Calculer la croissance démographique d'une région donnée] amène les élèves à comprendre les composantes de la croissance de la population et à une appréciation de comment on peut s'en servir pour la planification municipale.
 * À l’heure où l’horloge de la population mondiale venait d’indiquer 7 milliards d’habitants**, la contribution canadienne à celle-ci franchissait tout juste le cap estimatif des 34,5 millions.
