Abstract

The article in "Canada's History" discusses the postwar housing program in Canada after World War II, where affordable "strawberry box" houses were provided to returning soldiers and war brides due to a housing shortage. The government's solution was seen as humane and dignified, drawing attention to the critical housing shortage in the country today. The issue also commemorates the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War II and the two hundredth anniversary of Thomas D'Arcy McGee's birth, highlighting his role as a Canadian Father of Confederation.
