WestWeb

North of the West:
The Canadian West


This section of WestWeb provides information about the Canadian West. Like much of the rest of WestWeb, it is constantly changing and developing, and will be growing; Canadian history sites online are booming, as are Canadian Studies. Currently, we have links related to Canadian Environment and Natural Resources including fishing, trapping and forestry. Links to many more Canadian sites are under Links to Other Sites. Under Resources, you will find biographies of Western Canadians as well as other resources, such as bibliographies and teaching materials.
