in the Canadian Studies curriculum 

The Department of History has made a number of changes in its courses with Canadian 

content, of which we were made aware only today. The changes, in effect, invalidate 

much of that portion of the Canadian Studies curriculum based on History courses. The 

need for Canadian Studies to copy the relevant changes made by the History Department 

is self-evident. It is important that we obtain approval for these changes in time for 

the revisions to be included in the 1981/82 edition of the calendar. The corresponding 

changes in the History Departments section of the calendar have already been processed. 

Could you please arrange, as soon as possible, for the Faculty of Interdisciplinary 

Studies Undergraduate Curriculum Committee to consider the following changes to the 

Centre for Canadian Studies curriculum: 

l.a. DELETE: HIST 429-3 French Canada in the 19th and 20th Centuries 

b. ADD: ? 

HIST 328-3 The Province of Quebec from Confederation 

The economic, social, political and cultural history of Quebec. 

(Lecture/Tutorial) 

Prerequisite: HIST 101, 102 recommended. 

2.a. DELETE: HIST 432-3 Canadian West 

b. ADD: ? 

HIST 435-3 The Canadian Prairies 

Selected problems in the social, 'economic, and political development of 

the Canadian Prairies. 

(Seminar) 

Prerequisite: HIST 101, 102. recommended.

HIST 436-3 British Columbia

development of British Columbia.

3.a. DELETE: HIST 434-3 The History of Native People in Canada 

b. ADD: , HIST 326-3 The History of Native People in Canada 

An examination of native history and the evolution of native policy in 

Canada with emphasis on a particular region or native policy. 

(N.B. No. 3 a. and b. comprise a change in number and level only - 

the. description has not changed.)

?

The substitution of HIST 328-3 for HIST 429-3 should also apply to the French 

Canadian Studies Certificate Program. 

The attached Canadian Studies Steering Committee Note requests that any objections

by Canadian Studies Steering Committee members to these curriculum changes be conveyed 

to me no later than 10 November. I am not, however, anticipating any objections as the 

validity of the changes is self-evident. (If any objections are received, I will 

contact you on 11 November to withdraw this request.) I would appreciate FIDS UGCC 

consideration of the proposals as soon as is practicable, so that they may be submitted 

to SCUS' next meeting, if approved by. the faculty curriculum committee.

STEERING COMMITTEE NOTES 

1. ? 

Changes in History courses for Canadian Studies credit 

There are a few changes to the History Department curriculum which should be 

reflected in the Centre's list of Canadian content courses. 

?

These changes have 

only just come to our attention, as we were preparing revisions to the Centre for 

Canadian Studies calendar entry. 

?

Owing to extreme time constraints, 

we

have submitted 

the curriculum changes as calendar revisions and hope to receive the necessary approv- 

als by the time the galleys are returned. 

?

Of course, if approval of these changes to 

accordingly. 

the Canadian Studies curriculum is not forthcoming, the calendar 

entry will 

be adjusted 

The proposed changes to the Centre for Canadian Studies list of Canadian content 

courses are identical to the corresponding changes that have already been carried out 

in the History curriculum.

4.

?

The substitution of H!ST 328-3 for HIST 429-3 should also apply to the French 

Canadian Studies Certificate Program. 

If you disagree with any of these planned, curriculum changes, please contact me 

"immediately. If any member of the Steering Committee wishes, I shall call a meeting 

of the Committee to discuss and decide on the matter. If I receive no objections by 

10 November 1980, I will consider that the Steering Committee approves these changes 

to the Canadian Studies curriculum and will process them accordingly.
