Canada In World War 1
Why is it a Defining moment
There were a lot different battles in WW1. The main one i'm talking about is battle of Vimy Ridge. Many historical people consider Canada's victory in "battle of Vimy ridge" as defining moment of Canada. Canada moved out of Britain's shadow and fought by them-self. Canada ended up with the victory at a bad cost, which means they had over 10,000 solders dead or wounded. *The battle of Vimy Ridge started on April 9, 1917 and ended on April 12, 1917*

Why is it a Defining Moment?
The beginning of the Canadian upper atmosphere and space program may be traced back to the end of the Second World War. It was originally made for Canada but is now for other countries and astronauts who are doing scientific studies in space. There were many achievements and memories since it all started on May 10,1990. It is a date to remember because it was the Canadian Space Agency that was received by the Royal Assent which was the start of space exploration in Canada. The Government of Canada made and agreement to maintain the following to the CSA: “to promote the peaceful use of development of space, to advantage the knowledge of space through science, and to ensure that space science and technology provide social and economic benefits for Canadians.”
