Reading and Remembrance
History of Canada’s involvement in the World Wars.
In 2009, The Ontario Historical Society partnered with the Reading and Remembrance Programme (links to preserved website on Internet Archive) 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. To learn more about Reading and Remembrance, please see “Getting the Most”, an article which originally appeared in School Libraries in Canada.
