Description: "With its sweeping imagery and moving personal stories, the Passport to Canada collection offers a stunning overview of life in Canada. Volume 1: From Coast to Coast provides an overview of the country's spectacular scenery, while introducing Canada's history and many diverse cultures. Volume 2: The Land and the People looks at Canada's climate and its diverse peoples, plants and animals; this volume also highlights two dramatic immigration stories. Rounding out the collection is Volume 3: Making it Work--a primer on citizenship that explains the basics of Canadian democracy and the roles of different levels of government. This bilingual DVD includes a bonus gallery with pictures from each province, maps, archival images and photos showing citizenship in action. The collection is accompanied by a free, comprehensive teacher's guide, loaded with ideas for classroom activities."--Producers website (www.nfb.ca)
