Take a health walk with a factory worker from the period and discover the history of the 20th century and the Plains of Abraham!

Try assembly-line work, protest the economic crisis, practise your marksmanship like Joe Malone and find out whether you have been drafted. 

On the Plains or in your classroom, go back in time to learn about the major events of the time—two World Wars, the Great Depression, the baby boom and the Quiet Revolution—as well as the realities faced by Quebecers in the 20th century.

Accessories: timeline, photos, artefacts and a quiz game.
