Resources

This section contains many resources that can help you get started on the Mathieu Da Costa Challenge. The purpose is to help you conduct research and find background information on people who have contributed to the development of Canada. You can choose to write a short story or create an artwork about these people or to recognize a friend, a family member, someone from your community, a little-known historical figure or a particular group who has contributed to the building of Canada. If you find any other interesting links during your research, please send your suggestions to mathieudacosta@cic.gc.ca.
