Canada History Week 2019: Working for the Future

HISTORY IN THE CLASSROOM

YOUNG CITIZENS From changing working

conditions at factories to the role of labour activists in strikes, these eight Young Citizens videos share stories about the history of work in Canada.

TAKING A STAND Bring labour history into your classroom with these lesson plans and activities.

Everyone has to work, whether they do chores around the house, work in a factory, run a farm, go to an office job, fish for a living, work in a mine — Canadians do all kinds of paid and unpaid work. Fortunately, there have always been people trying to help to ensure better pay and better conditions for workers. Learn their stories in the April 2019 issue of Kayak: Canada at Work .
