Canadian history fact Building the Canadian Pacific Railway

{NC}—It was Canada's most defining and rigorous challenge of the 1880s. Itiook four years to complete from 1881 to 1885 and it tested the mettle and will of several hundred thousand Canadian and Chinese labourers - the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R,).

“Until that road is built to British Columbia and the Pacific, this Dominion is a mere geographical expression...Until bound by the iron link:.. we are nol a Dominion in fact.” Sir John A, MacDonald, Dinner address in Montreal, 1875. The C.P.R. did in fact unite the Dominion as MacDonald had wished and as a result changed the face of Canadian history.

Here's a look at the life and challenges of the C.P.R. labourers.

Living Quarters: 60-80 mento every rough, leaking, log bunkhouses with poor ventilation and lighting. . ue

_ Their diet} beans, salt pork, potatogs, tea, bread and sometimes frozen meat.

Their pay: $1.50 per day with $4.50 board per week.

Working conditions: “...throats choked with the dust of shattered rocks, ears ringing with dynamite blasts, arms aching from swinging sledges or coting rails, skin smarting and itching froma hundred insect bites, nostrils assailed by a dozen stenches from horse manure to human sweat..." From The Lase Spike by Plerre

unten, ' ;

The spike stops here: In March 1885 a strike of C.P.R. workers occurred in British Columbia, just miles away from completion of the railway. The company had no money left to pay the workers’ wages, A few weeks later the men were paid and the railway was completed to the pacific on November 7, 1885.

Canadian history fact The beginnings of compulsory attendance in Ontario schools

(NC)}—As parents prepare for the back-to-school routine across the country, let's look back to the very first mandatory school days established in Canada.

Did you know that Ontario took the first step nationwide in 1874 towards making compulsory school attendance. Parents were obliged by threat of legal penalty to have children attend school. During the 1880s registers of all school- age children were required and police officers were appointed to enforce attendance. This gave new meaning to the challenge of playing hooky.
