New Student and Classroom Resources

The program is built around fact-based storytelling, focusing on authentic stories of diverse military heroes from across Canada. This approach helps ensure that students not only gain a deeper understanding of Canada’s military history but also foster empathy and respect for all of those who have served.

You can now access these resources including materials to assist with school Remembrance Day ceremonies, through the Honouring Bravery website.

Ontario Teachers + Project CONNECTIONS!

Each year hundreds of students visit Casa Loma (and our Regimental Museum) as part of school or youth groups or with their families. Casa Loma provides a number of programs and has identified their connections to Ontario’s school curriculum. Unfortunately these programs do not include our exhibits or the extensive 150+ years connection of the Queen’s Own Rifles to the history of Canada and the evolution of our city, our province, our country and our society.

Are you a current or retired Ontario teacher?

Phase I of our Project CONNECTIONS is to identify connections between the stories presented in our museum and all levels of the Ontario Curriculum. Once we’ve done that, Phase II will be developing resource material and activities that will help students make those connections.

If you are interested in helping with either phase of Project CONNECTIONS, please contact at us museum@qormuseums.org.  Please indicate your teaching credentials, your current teaching status, and the level(s) you are able to assist with (primary, intermediate, senior.)

We look forward to hearing from you!
