Students drew from the primary resources of the bylaw website to help them understand the history of their town. Working in groups students examined these historical bylaws. Questions they used to guide them were:
Have laws and bylaws changed over time?
How have they affected the people involved?
What evidence is there that old bylaws still exist today?
What story do they have to tell?
How have these bylaws impacted the people in our community?
