The Lest We Forget project combines historical research with community outreach, and provides students with an opportunity to conduct primary research. Students are tasked with researching and writing about individuals who served in the First or Second World War, whose names are listed on local cenotaphs in communities across Canada. Essentially, students become experts on the service persons they investigate, and contribute to the wartime histories of their communities.
This program is offered in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada. For more information on this program, how to prepare and how to prepare your students, please visit the Library and Archives Canada website at: www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/education/cenotaph/index-e.html.
