Description: It begins with the French Canadians in the eastern part of Canada. Glimpses of their life are shown and the scene shifts to views of the Scotch groups located in the same part of Canada. After this we see the British fishermen, lumbermen and coal miners, all from eastern Canada. Many views of Toronto are given. Then the scene goes across country showing views from Calgary, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and Vancouver. The purpose of this film is to show the different types of life in Canada as a democratic nation. "A good film for sociology, for various studies in social science, and for general showing, through high through adult levels. Photography, sound, and organization are uniformly good, and the film contains no political propaganda of any kind." Don White in Educational screen
