Laura Secord


You may know Laura Secord by her ice cream and chocolates, but she was actually known for a lot more. Laura Secord actually made the world a better place.

Laura was born on Sept. 13 1775. SHe married a man named James Secord and moved from the United States to Ontario (Queensland). During the War of 1812 she overheard Americans talking about how they were going to surprise attack the British so she walked all day and night to warn them. Because of her bravery she helped the soldiers and she helped save our country. She is one of the greatest Canadians to ever live. Because of her we are proud to be Canadian today.

Women like Laura Secord make me proud to spell my name W-O-M-A-N.
