The strenuous impacts on farmers during the Great Depression is a form of change. As this was something that farmers were not expecting nor planning for. Farmer's crops dying and dust bowls forming is an example of something they were not about to plan for. Everything had occurred so suddenly and with no money, farmers were left hopeless.

The roaring 20s was a decade of economic growth and widespread prosperity. No one thought it would end but as the saying goes: all good things must to come an end. On October 24th 1929, the stock market crashed and through the Canadian economy in the garbage. People lost their money as a result employers were not able to pay employees and people also lost their jobs. One of the leading causes to the downfall of the economy in the time of the Great Depression. -
When the stock market crashed and people began to lose their jobs, this is an example of negative change. During the roaring 20s, people didn’t have a care in the world, therefore, thinking nothing could go wrong. When the stock market crashed people suddenly lost their jobs because their employers never could’ve predicted something like this. If the employers didn’t let their employees go they, in turn, would go broke.

Before the Great Depression farmers were almost fully recovered from World War 2, due to the stock market crash people began to lose their money. With that people could not afford to buy food, and farmers could not afford to take care of their crops or plant them. As a result, farmers were forced to fire employees because they could not afford to keep them. In addition to this dryness and heat created dust bowls which made the farmland unusable. -
During the stock market crash of 1929 people were losing their jobs. As a result, not many people had money meaning they could not afford necessities for their lives. People lost almost everything they had such as: homes, jobs, access to food and water. In October 1932, the first relief camp opened to single men. They were provided with food, clothing, a job and medical care. A “catch” in the contract was you can leave whenever you want but you were not able to come back if you left. -
When the stock market crashed and people lost their job, the government had to find a solution so men had a place to go if they
were laid off work. McNaughton spent 3 years figuring out the idea and then putting it into play in 1932 which was an example of continuity because he spent time on creating relief camps and was not something that happened right away -
Relief camps were able to help over 170,000 men stay off the streets and let them hope for a better future.

During World War 2 Canadian women played an important role on the Homefront. Roles that helped soldiers at home such as: producing munitions, producing weapons/vehicles and producing food, were given to women. They also had jobs that contributed to the community such as: police officers, fire officers, bus and train conductors. Women taking over these jobs and filling the roles normally done by men not only helped the war effort but was able to keep the economy running. -
I believe Woman in the Homefront is an example of continuity. Women were slowly able to fill in for the men who were leaving for the war. Over time women started to work and contribute to the war effort and to the economy. When the men came home the women were slowly forced to move out of their jobs although some stayed working.

Prior to World War 2, the production of produce was steady. As World War 2 was approaching production was worse for farmers as they had to meet the demand from soldiers overseas as well as keeping the general population fed too. With the soldiers getting more food, the general population was forced to consume less food. Farmers were faced with a challenge when needing to rapidly increase production they had to be careful not to overproduce and to keep rotating crops. -
Farmers being told to increase production is an example of change. This was an event that happened all of a sudden, it was something that they had no time to prepare for. This event took farmers by surprise and is the reason why farmers had such a hard time adapting to the larger food demand.

During the First World War, the average woman's job was to take care of their family and to do the jobs that men had done before they left to serve overseas. From 1941 to 1942 women wanted to contribute to the war effort; the Canadian military made a big change and allowed women to serve for the first time. More than 50,000 women served in the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War in which they played an important role in Canada's success during the war. -
Women joining the military is an example of change. This was an event that didn't happen over time, it was a decision the military put into place because of the large demand for soldiers. Women also wanted to be part of the war so the Canadian Armed Forces decided to let women join and help Canadian soldiers.
