Today, Monsieur Wanie wasn't around for much of the day. He accompanied the 5 swim team finalists to Rosedale CA for the City Championships. Plans were left on the board for students to work on their French novels and their maps of the "Monde Politique".

hey its nichola. for question 4. VTC in history it says to include the colonies in our drawing but i'm not sure how you want us to represent the colonies?
for question 4 atc, i cant find a site for how the settlers persuaded the cp to make more track to different towns.
ethan 8-7
Michaela: How about a train station in Winnipeg?
Ethan: Small towns that were not initially served by the CP gathered their own money together and built their own "Branch lines" to tie themselves into the CP network. The CP eventually bought up many of these branches for less than it cost to build them... here's some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway#The_CPR_and_the_settlement_of_Western_Canada
