Meet David Suzuki

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


As a young boy, David Suzuki loved spending time in the glorious British Columbia outdoors with his father. The racist policies against Japanese Canadians during World War II put an abrupt end to that when David’s family was sent to a Japanese internment camp in 1942. After the war, the Suzuki family was forced to leave B.C., settling in Ontario. David immersed himself in learning, earning a PhD in zoology, becoming a professor, and eventually taking his love of science education into the public sphere with his shows on CBC radio and television. His connection to nature, commitment as a scientist and media presence found David among the first to raise the alarm on how human behaviour is endangering all life on Earth. He has worked tirelessly to bring attention and importantly, offer solutions to this critical issue. Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time, and David Suzuki has led the charge in education and activism in Canada for decades.

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


Born in 1907, Joseph-Armand grew up in a Valcourt, a small village in Quebec. Like many village places in rural and Northern Canada, Valcourt was often cut off from the world in the winter after snow made the roads impassable.

As an adult, the passion to invent a snow machine became a serious ambition after his two-year-old son died from appendicitis. It was winter and they could not get him to the hospital. Armand persisted even after many failures, until he finally accomplished his goal. His B7 snow machine was used to deliver milk and mail . . . and it saved lives. But Armand didn’t stop there! He continued to invent and innovate his whole life, developing machines like the Muskeg tractor and the famous Ski-doo, which revolutionized the way people live and work.

Meet Thérèse Casgrain

MacLeod, Elizabeth,


Meet Thérèse Casgrain, who battled for equality and social justice, and was the first woman to lead a political party in Canada! From 1916 to 1925, women across Canada were winning the right to vote, province by province... but not in Quebec. It took another fifteen years of protest and the leadership of Thérèse Casgrain for women there to get the right to vote in provincial elections. And that was only the start of Thérèse’s 50-year career. She decided to change things from inside the government too, becoming the first woman to lead a political party in Canada. And although Thérèse may not have been elected, her decades long fight for equal rights, health care, and world peace is itself a victory.
