A Matter of Honour
Canadian English reflects the words, spellings, meanings and traditions that have grown with us. Exploring them is more than finding the right answer. It is one small way of honouring our language, heritage and the experiences that have shaped how Canadians communicate.
Choose the best answer for each discovery. If you need a little help, an optional hint is available. There is no penalty for an incorrect answer. Every answer is another opportunity to discover something about Canadian English.
