• Harbor Seals: Around 300.
• Bald Eagles: Approximately 250.
• Killer Whales (Orcas): Up to 22 (from the AB pod).

8A History Summary

 Iman: Charles de Salaberry: Canadian Hero and Military Leader

My presentation was about Charles de Salaberry and why he is one of Canada’s greatest heroes. I explained that he was a French Canadian military officer who showed courage, intelligence, and strong leadership while defending Canada during the War of 1812. I also talked about how he led a much smaller army to victory at the Battle of Chateauguay by using smart strategies and the natural landscape to trick and stop the enemy. Another important point is that his early life, education, and military experience helped him become a confident and effective leader. Overall, Charles de Salaberry is important because he protected Canada and showed that bravery, careful planning, and determination can overcome even the biggest challenges.
