‘Defining Moments’ are those moments of shared national importance to Canadians – teachers develop these in their classes everyday. Such ‘moments’ afford the Canadian classroom teacher a remarkably rich opportunity to inspire students to become “active citizens” completing digital tasks that commemorate a defining moment in our shared Canadian heritage.

On this page, you’ll find a complete list of all of the lesson plans and educator resources. To explore resources and supports by topic, you can visit our project landing pages.
