What does the Who We Are chapter cover?
Canada is known as a free and democratic country built on three founding peoples: Aboriginal, French and British. Aboriginal peoples include First Nations, Inuit and Métis. English and French are Canada's two official languages, and the Official Languages Act of 1969 guarantees federal services in both. Most francophones live in Quebec, and there are also francophone communities such as the Acadians in the Maritimes. Canada welcomes newcomers from around the world, and its diversity and multiculturalism are part of Canadian identity.
