The story of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, is the story of early Canada. The story of Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent (1767-1820) is also a story of early Canada.

Seventy years later the country would be united under the crown of his daughter, Victoria, Sir John A. Macdonald's "Queen of Canada." … (altro)

To Carl Draksler. Teacher, mentor and friend. I first met Mr. Draksler when I was a Grade 10 history student at Waterdown District High School and everyday Carl would demonstrate the inherent nobility of teaching. Now, nearly twenty years since sitting in his classroom, I am proud to be working in his department.

Residing in Canada during the formative period following the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the Duke of Kent participated in a society struggling to define itself. Prince Edward represented the vibrant role of the Crown in this county, and was the first to conceptually unite the English- and French-speaking peoples of British North America under the term "Canadian."
