The Canadian War Museum is pleased to announce that the virtual school programs are now available to schools across Canada. Thanks in large part to the generosity of donors and the Friends of the Canadian War Museum, the programs will be offered free of charge for the 2025–2026 school year.
Programs are available from October 14, 2025, to April 30, 2026.
Program descriptions
Witness to history – personal accounts of military service
This unique program enables students to interact with a veteran or a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, who will share their personal experiences and perspectives. Volunteers representing a variety of conflicts and service areas are available (Afghanistan, domestic operations, and service abroad with international organizations such as NATO, NORAD or the UN). Volunteers also come from a range of trades and professions. While every effort will be made to match groups with their preferred choice, the final selection will be based on volunteer availability. Requests for this program must be made at least three weeks in advance. Moderated by a Museum staff member.
Bookings of this program are subject to change without advanced notice based on volunteer availability.
