The 10 lessons and 20 Minutes commemorate individual peacekeepers serving in the Armed Forces with the UN and NATO and Canadians who help preserve global peace and protect fundamental human rights; they include those who made the ultimate sacrifice. There are 30 entry points to engage young people in Remembrance. The diverse materials encourage a broad reach for young Canadians. From NORAD tracking Santa and Izzy dolls to the new Book of Remembrance, females in peacekeeping and a 2011 Minutes Page for Black History Month, young people will have much to stimulate interest in Canadian history, critical thinking and the role of Remembrance as a Canadian value.

Lessons emphasize reading, diversity, equity, and research into local history and are a boon to school librarians, teachers and supply teachers seeking Canadian-based, high-interest stimulus materials that supplement curricula in English, Civics, History, Music, Visual and Dramatic Arts, Law and Family Studies.
Every year we present new readings to engage young people in remembering the history of those who fought and died for Canada and those who supported their efforts at home and in Allied countries. We have kept a firm focus on veterans and veterans continue to be a vital resource in coming to understand what people went through in the troubled times when democracy was threatened.
In 2010, by taking the readings into the homeland, we saw that there were many smaller, quieter yet significant efforts that underlay Canada’s contributions to the Allied victory. We have not forgotten veterans. They are in the lessons as the Veterans Guards who supervised over 40,000 prisoners of war in Canada, as the trainees and teachers in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, as the Canadian Navy and Air Force personnel engaged in the Battle of the St. Lawrence, as the performers in Army, Navy and Air Force shows.
We have, however, this year emphasized the young people, women and seniors who through their volunteer services, sacrifices and support made all the difference. Through this emphasis we hope to show young people that much was accomplished by lending a hand—and much may still be accomplished today by lending a hand.
Semaine des anciens combattants 2010 Lecture et Souvenir 2010: Histoires de la patrie
Chaque année, nous présentons de nouvelles lectures pour engager les jeunes à se rappeler l'histoire de ceux qui ont combattu et sont morts pour le Canada et ceux qui ont soutenu leurs efforts à la maison et dans les pays alliés. Nous continuons de garder le focus sur la société des anciens combattants. Ils continuent d'être une ressource vitale pour en arriver à comprendre ce que les gens ont vécu dans les temps troublés où la démocratie était menacée.
En 2010, en rapportant la lectures chez nous, nous avons remarqué qu'il y avait un rôle très subtiles mais déterminant dont le Canada a joué dans la victoire des Alliés . Nous n'avons pas oublié les anciens combattants. Ils sont dans les leçons des anciens combattants qui ont supervisé plus de 40,000 prisonniers de guerre au Canada, sont les stagiaires et enseignants dans le Plan d'entraînement aérien du Commonwealth britannique, se sont engagés dans la bataille du Saint-Laurent de la Marine canadienne et de la Force aérienne, sont les artistes de l'Armée, la Marine et des spéctales de la Force aérienne.
Nous voulons, cette année, souligner les contributions apportées par la jeunesse, les femmes et les personnes âgées qui, par leurs services bénévoles, leurs sacrifices et leurs soutiens, ont fait toute la différence. Nous espérons montrer aux jeunes que beaucoup a été accompli par un coup de main et beaucoup peut encore être accompli aujourd'hui.
Letter from an Ottawa area student receiving the Reading and Remembrance Award
Hello,
I would like to thank the sponsor of the Reading and Remembrance Award, which I won at the Ottawa Regional Historica Fair. My project was on the Hadley-Page Halifax, a british heavy bomber used during WW2, which was heavily used by Canadians. I focused on the Halifax's influence in the war and also on the restoration of NA337, the world's only fully restored Halifax. NA337 is displayed in Trenton at the RCAF memorial museum, and it is because of my grandfather's involvement with the museum that I grew atached to the Halifax, which sparked my interest to do the project.
Once again, thank you for sponsoring this award, as it means a lot to me to recieve it.
