Our mission is to provide young readers with engaging, culturally responsive Canadian historical stories that are not well known, while empowering teachers with cross-curricular lesson activities that enhance classroom learning and deepen students' understanding of the past.  

This site is a growing resource, and we welcome your contributions! If you have ideas for honoring/spotlighting historical figures or events, or successful lesson activities to share, please email us – we’d love to feature them for others to benefit from. Our goal is to bring Canadian history to life for young learners, helping them discover and appreciate its important events. We’re committed to expanding these resources and continuing to inspire young readers.
