Educational Information for Students & Educators

There are a lot of options out there for students that often go unnoticed. For this reason, I have created this page which will continue to provide links to important and interesting initiatives offered by the Federal government. Whether you are interested in travel, student loans & bursaries, job prospects, or ways to get involved in the community this is the site for you!

Are you interested in searching around for the various programs that have been developed and are offered by the Canadian government? Youth Path provides a breakdown of the vast and numerous initiatives you might be able to become involved in.

Educational Resources for Teachers

For your convenience we have begun to create an electronic catalogue of publications distributed by the federal government. Please click here to discover what online and paper sources are available for your classroom. If you are planning a group trip to the Capital region there are several items to keep in mind. May and June are the busiest times of the year, for this reason please plan well in advance; this means making arrangements for lodging and reservations for group tours and events well before December in order to ensure a place for your group. To help with this process we have created a special page with links to museums, historical sites, and places of government in and around the Ottawa region. You will also find suggestions for restaurants and affordable lodging. To plan your trip click here!
