I choose some one I really related to and he was Harry Jerome. He set a world record of 10.2 sec in the 100m sprint in the year of 1960 and it gets better he kept on beating his own record so in total he set 4 world records. Here are his times: 1960 10.2 sec, 1961 9.3sec, 1962 9.2, 1966 9.1. Sadly he died of a brain aneurysm in December 1982, at the age of only 42.
Here is a cool fact i learned about him"It is said that his spirit wonders around Harry Jerome Sports Center in Burnaby. Their have been numerous sightings from customers as well as the staff. One man said that at night he sees a blurred image of a man sprinting around the track." Comment if you think this is true or not i would like to know what you think.
This is the web site i got most of the info from wikipedia and here is the web site that gave me the idea to do him mysteriesofcanada.com

Assignment 5
Well I'm not sure i will check it out but i think the first time the Europeans came they left and came back in the summer. The web site said that Cabot came then left then came back. So based on that they came back during the summer built houses with lots of fire wood and blankets.
