NEW from Historica Canada : Women in the Canadian Military
This guide includes activities that allow students to explore women’s military history in Canada. This guide does not present a comprehensive overview, but offers a selection of stories and perspectives that explore some women’s experiences in the Canadian military. These activities are best suited to students who have some contextual knowledge of the time periods and conflicts discussed. You may want to provide students with background information on conflicts relating to the activities.
We hope this newsletter will be a support to you as we read, research, and learn together at Lawrence Park C.I.
HAPPY SPRING!
