What is The True North?

The True North is intended to be a site of resources by and for Christian school Canadian history teachers. It will hopefully become a place where teachers can share lessons, units, resources, and ideas on Canadian history and on integrating their Christian faith into their lessons.

Who can join?

We welcome Christian school teachers who are dealing with Canadian themed lessons, units, or courses.
