The shanty life in Canada in the 1800's was the same as it was in the US. The shanty was normally built on a flat, clear area that was good for farming. They used the land around for farming. Inside the shanty there was a kitchen, living room, and 1 or 2 bedrooms. They would eat in the living room. The parents would share 1 bedroom with the baby if they had one. The children slept in their own room. The girls would do the sewing, mending, cooking, cleaning, and washing. The men would prepare the hay, care for the animals, and farm.
