The Team: HIST1P50
This page is produced as a public resource by the students of HIST1P50, “Co-Operative Historical Projects” at Brock University in St Catharines Ontario. Students worked in small groups on each section, from the initial phases of project planning, to the primary and secondary research, to the content creation and publication promotions. We did this to provide a historical perspective on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, by looking to Canada’s recent past.
