    Using churches to create local connections to colonial histories with Dr. Evan Habkirk & Dr. Samantha Cutrara

    How can a church be used as a source in history classrooms? How can you bring larger histories into your own neighbourhood? Join Dr. Evan Habkirk (University of British Columbia, Okanagan) as he talks about using the local churches in your community as a place that can start discussions around the past, historical connections, and colonial histories. By using a local church as a primary source, even from the outside, Dr. Habkirk discusses how we can connect our communities to larger themes in Canadian history, such as residential schools, royal visits, and world wars.
