Blessed Be The Children
Children are the world’s most precious resource. They are the future for all communities, cultures and countries. Yet tragically, children are neglected and even abused in too many countries and societies. People and countries that do betray the trust of children destroy the great potential for a better future for their own societies and for our world.

Blessed be the Children is a series of lesson plans for young people teaching today’s youth about the plight of children in developing nations.

Bénis soient les enfants
Les enfants sont le bien le plus précieux de notre monde. Ils représentent l’avenir de toutes les communautés, de toutes les cultures et de tous les pays. Pourtant, dans trop de pays et de sociétés, les enfants sont malheureusement négligés et même maltraités. Les gens et les pays qui trahissent leur confiance sapent les fondations d’un avenir meilleur dans leurs propres sociétés et dans notre monde.

Bénis soient les enfants est une série de plans de leçon. Les élèves apprendront le sort de ces enfants et aussi ce que font les Canadiens pour remédier à cette situation tragique.

Welcoming Communities
Pier 21, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia stands as a symbol of welcome for hundreds of thousands who came to Canada’s shores years ago. For a long period of time, it was the gateway to the rest of Canada and helped ease the journey for those who were anxious and often afraid. It was a reception facility and primary point of entry that welcomed and processed visitors and hopeful citizens to this country. When it opened in 1928, the world travelled overseas by ship.

Welcoming Communities provides lesson plans with emphasis on the acceptance of others from many different cultures and how to encourage their integration into Canadian society. The lesson plans will also touch on issues of diversity and multiculturalism and how they strengthen the Canadian fabric.

Communautés d’accueil
Le Quai 21 se trouve à Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse, reste un symbole de l’accueil de centaines de milliers de personnes venues au Canada il y a des années. Pendant longtemps, il représente la porte du Canada et de toutes ses régions et soulagea l’inquiétude et l’angoisse de bien des immigrants. Il était à l’origine le principal centre d’accueil et d’admission pour les visiteurs et futurs citoyens de notre pays. Lorsqu’il fut inauguré, en 1928, on traversait les océans par bateau.

Communautés d’accueil est une série de plans de leçon. Le cours encouragera à accepter les personnes de nombreuses cultures différentes et à les intégrer dans la société canadienne. Il traitera aussi de la diversité et du multiculturalisme et verra comment ces composantes renforcent la société canadienne.
