The Historica-Dominion Institute is challenging young Canadians across the country to express their views on some important issues facing Canadians today. Using the articles on the Great Questions of Canada website, students are asked to write an essay on one of the six Great Questions debate topics. Each winning entry (one English, one French) will receive a $1,500 cash prize, have their essay published on the website and win a trip to Ottawa for the award ceremonies in 2011.

Take part in the 2011 contest! Participants and educators are asked to read the contest rules prior to submitting an essay.

Contest deadline is June 30, 2011. For more information please visit The Great Questions Essay Competition.
