Long ago, Canada was already a country of immigrants. These people came from many different places like the United States, Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland. They left their homeland and became pioneers in Canada. In this 20 minute program, Michelle, a young modern-day student is transported back in time to a pioneer village. No more cell phones, MP3 players or electricity! Her new teacher tells her about their life in a pioneer settlement, how they came to Canada, where they settled, and how they work the land. Michelle tours the village and learns about the grist mill, the blacksmith shop, the general store, post office, and the school house. She also learns how the aboriginal peoples taught the pioneers to live off the land.
