    Isaac Brock’s tunic and anything associated with Tecumseh.

  2. Daniel Myerscough says:

    I would like to see either pictures or artifacts of the different styles of architect across the nation. Each area has (had) its own unique style that depicts the different cultures of Canada.

  3. Lesley Durham-McPhee says:

    I would like to see a history of working people in Canada. Highlight the jobs, labour laws, unions, etc. I don’t think enough Canadians are aware of the diversity of work in Canada and how their career choices are shaped by history.

  4. Tim Morin says:

    Political history, events that shaped the entire nation. Artifacts from the old Parliament buildings. Our former national flag (the Red Ensign). The present museum has too heavy a focus on indigenous people’s history.

  5. Ordinary people who have shaped our country and province says:

    List of ordinary people who have over the last 50 yrs received Canadian medals for recognition of services to and for the struggle for the improvement of peoples living situtions.new laws that were formed etc. throughout the 1900 and 2000 years.

  6. Ordinary people who have shaped out country says:

    This History of “Bluegrass Music”

  8. Ordinary people who have shaped out country says:

    Reaching Canadians everywhere

  9. Ordinary people who have shaped out country says:

    Their have been many people who have fought for “people services such as Women’s rights, Needs of change for populations requiring
    The Vote for all, the education for women, the equal rights amendment. Agencies that have been formed and further development of their infuence in shaping communities.

  12. Brandi, Neil, Jed, and Jordan says:

    We would like to see the original contract that bound Canada to the United Nations. We feel that it is a very critical aspect of modern Canadian History, because the United Nations currently has a larger impact on our world today. Canada has also contributed more peacekeeping operations than any other member nation, and we feel that it helped Canada gain recognition on the World Stage.

  13. Jasmine Charette says:

    More contemporary First Nations art and artifacts. Stories of sexual minorities, the gender queer, my neighbours, housing and welfare projects, etc.

  14. Lynzii Taibossigai says:

    A replica of wampum belts, the symbol of relationship or nation building among Indigenous peoples and Canadians.

  15. Jennifer Birch says:

    Your “Iroquois” pot is a St. Lawrence Iroquoian style vessel. The Iroquois lived in New York State – not Canada! For the sake of Canadian history, please correct this classification.

  16. Rosemary Thompson says:

    I would like to see a re-creation of the committee room where MPs deliberated which submission to choose for the Canadian flag-there were hundreds of submissions from across the country. This would be circa 1968

  17. Sarah says:

    I would be interested in hearing about the objects that are precious to ordinary Canadians. The stories behind these can be fascinating.

  18. Chantal says:

    2002 lucky loonie (Salt Lake City Olympics) Canada wins Gold in hockey!

  19. Bill says:

    One of the most recognized and enduring symbols of our country is a canoe. What about Bill Mason’s canoe, or Pierre Trudeau’s, if it is still around.

  20. Jennifer says:

    Talk about pre-European contact
