Another school year is beginning and that means it is time for Veterans Affairs Canada to offer our very popular Veterans’ Week learning products to help engage young people in remembrance.
All-new 2018 editions of the Take Time to Remember activity booklet (ages 5-7), as well as youth newspapers Tales of Animals in War (ages 5-11) and the Canada Remembers Times (ages 12-18) are now available. Our popular Postcards for Peace, bookmarks and posters are also back, as is the on-line Veterans’ Week teacher’s guide. Explore these resources on our website and order your bilingual copies today at absolutely no charge.

Please note: We are making arrangements to ensure that orders will still be delivered in the event of a possible disruption to Canada Post service. We encourage you to order as soon as possible, however, to ensure you receive your resources in plenty of time for Veterans’ Week.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of “Canada’s Hundred Days” – the string of great battlefield successes by our soldiers in the closing three months of the First World War – and the end of that bloody conflict on November 11, 1918. We have a wealth of historical information and new lesson plans on this important subject… check them out today!
