This education kit is the latest addition to Veterans Affairs Canada's earlier inventory of multimedia learning materials.

This new resource includes two videos, a teacher's resource guide, five copies of the Canada Remembers learning magazine, and four posters. The materials are suitable for grades 7 - 13, and are available to educators in both English and French, at no cost from Veterans Affairs Canada.

This comprehensive learning resource provides educators with historical information, materials, lesson plans, and activities for use as a supplementary resource for social studies and history curriculum. The goal of the kit is to encourage junior high and high school aged Canadian students to learn more about the men and women who served Canada during the Second World War and to appreciate how their sacrifices and achievements have helped to shape the Canada we know today.
