Who was the "musketeer in petticoats"? Who was the "Laura Secord of Gananoque"? What War of 1812 privateer was the founder of a major Canadian bank? How did an aristocratic French girl become a Canadian Robinson Crusoe? Who was the first Canadian firefighter to die in the line of duty? How did Tom Longboat astound the world in 1907? Who was the first Black woman electedt o Canada's Parliament? How did a dog named Gander become a Canadian war hero?
