Reading and Remembrance
 

In 2009, The Ontario Historical Society partnered with the Reading and Remembrance Programme to offer important education material for students across Ontario.  Available in both French and English are lesson plans and curriculum that can be used in many grades and classrooms teaching youth about the history of Canada's involvement in the World Wars. 

All of the material is online and can be accessed, downloaded, and printed from www.readingandremembrance.ca.  Each year has its own theme:

Themes
2005: In Flanders Fields
2006: Anti-Racism and Holocaust Education
2007: Women and War
2008: The Art of Dissent
2009: Medals and Memories
2010: Homeland Stories
