Two major areas of concern to Canadian society or "project themes" were selected for immediate development: regionalism in Canada, a study of social environments, and, industrialization and technological change in Canada.
The Laurentian Project was initiated in Peterborough and Quebec City. Development techniques, classroom materials and teaching methods were studied in Peterborough and Quebec City to provide an understanding of the similarities and differences in outlook between them on two major areas of concern to Canadian society.Additional information:General note:Material received in 1977 from Ron Wood, Indian River, Ontario.
