Every November 11th, schools across Canada hold Remembrance Day Services to honor the tragedy of war and the benefits of peace. However, teaching the history of Canada’s war efforts can be challenging due to the sensitive nature of the topic and the lack of coverage in the elementary curriculum.

Veterans have praised these plays for honoring their experiences and bringing history to life for younger generations.
