As representatives at a hypothetical 1864 Ottawa conference, students decide whether or not to join in Confederation, and experience the complexities and compromises faced by the Fathers of Confederation. Available as a PDF only.
As representatives of a British North American colony at a hypothetical 1864 Ottawa Conference, students decide whether or not to join a proposed Canadian Confederation under the conditions outlined in a draft British North America Act which they have helped to negotiate.
This 8 - 13 hour simulation can be used as the cornerstone for an entire unit of study on Confederation. Students are assigned to one of six groups, each representing a British North American colony at the time of Confederation. They simulate the negotiations that led to Confederation by participating in a fictitious Ottawa Conference held in 1864. The simulation unfolds in five stages.
