Social 5: Halifax Explosion – Mr. Kyle McIntosh, B.A., B.Ed.

In Social 5 we have been discussing natural (and other) disasters in Canada’s history, including:

The Saguenay Floods
“The Squeeze” in coal mines
Ft McMurray Forest Fires
Montreal Ice Storm
Hurricane Hazel
Frank Slide
and others

Today is the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion–the largest non-nuclear man-made explosion. It was devastating.

The CBC has a gorgeous interactive on this topic (that Social 20 also shared).
