One of my daughters went to UBC. (The other to the University of Toronto). I’m originally from the U.S. but I feel like an honorary Canadian! It’s so great the students prepared by researching about Canada. お疲れ様!
Elizabeth, I’m glad you had such a positive experience and that the students were so obviously engaged as well as helpful. Your write up was very informative.
Your Tante Marianne just yesterday baked a “platz” for her granddaughter, Dakota, who was also celebrating multicultural heritage day at her elementary school.

I'm also a UBC grad. Both UBC and UofT have amazingly diverse instructor and student populations.
The elementary Grade 5 kids prepared a lot so most of the answers to my quiz questions were hits.

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear the next generation and their classmates can try this Mennonite treat!
For those who don't know, "platz" is a sheet cake Mennonite home bakers make. A representative recipe here - http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2008/06/platz.html
Pre-pandemic, the English club I lead collaborated with Home Ec to make currant scones based on my Scottish-born grandmother's recipe.
