Early Canadian History Ex. 5

The First European Settlers

The French who came to early Canada were not all explorers. Others who came here were church people who wanted the Aboriginals to become Christians. The church people often built settlements.

The French also built many fur-trading settlements. These were places where fur-traders bought furs from the Aboriginals to send back to Europe.

British traders also came to Canada. In 1670 they started a fur-trading company called the Hudson Bay Company. Later, many more British people came to Canada to start farming.
