Bringing History to Life: WWI Project by JDSS Students

We are excited to showcase an innovative project from École John Diefenbaker Senior School in Hanover, ON. Every year, grade 10 history students at JDSS trace the life of a local soldier from the West Grey area who enlisted during WWI. This year, the project took a modern twist with the integration of GIS mapping technology, transforming the learning experience into something even more dynamic and impactful.

Truth and Reconciliation Resources

Truth and Reconciliation however, must not be limited to one day a year, it must be a year round priority. Find resources to aid in the thoughtful observance of Truth and Reconciliation here.
