Website Resources

Due to the sensitive nature of Remembrance Day topics, we recommend that parents guide their students in conversations while using these suggested resources.

Government of Canada: Veterans Week

The Government of Canada website for Veterans Week includes stories about Canadians who served our country and made significant contributions to commemoration. Learn about Indigenous Veterans, who are remembered each year on Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8. Explore Canadian Armed Forces around the world to discover how Canadians continue to defend peace and freedom worldwide. Primary and middle school students would enjoy the Learning Resources page, which includes various research activities and hands-on resources.
