Synopsis:

A fresh look at a young country

In Building Canada, historian and storyteller Jonathan Vance takes an imaginative look at the architecture, transportation, and icons that made Canada what it is today. Filled with unusual stories and fascinating characters, Building Canada brings to life important but overlooked episodes in this country's growth and shows how major building projects such as the Trans-Canada Highway, rural electrification, and the Centennial performing arts centres helped foster a strong and unique national identity.

Original and engaging, Vance's story of twelve far-reaching projects that helped build the Canada we know will bring a whole new appreciation of the infrastructure that has shaped the nation's life, culture, and identity.
