Question 5

Is your curriculum written in consultation with First Nations people?

Accepted Answer

Our curriculum deals primarily with European colonization of Canada, however, we do include some information about one cultural group per province to provide context for how history played out. For example, in Saskatchewan we introduce the Cree, in Manitoba we discuss Mennonites and the Metis, in Nova Scotia the Mi’kmaq, in New Brunswick the Acadians and Wolastoqiyik, and in British Columbia the Chinese and the Pacific Northwest people. Our Yukon Territory history set looks at how and why the First People groups crossed the land bridge (or possibly sailed along the pacific coast) and came to settle in North America. Here we take a broader look at how and where the different culture groups settled and survived before European colonization.

The Great Canadian Adventure believes it is best to learn a people's culture and history from the people themselves and to that purpose we offer a reading list that includes Indigenous authors in our curriculum guide. The information we did include in the history sets are drawn from what nations have made public about themsevles or what the Government of Canada has published as historic record.

Question 6

Do I need more than one boxed set if I have more than one child in the same age range?

Accepted Answer

The hands-on activities in our geography series can be done in a *small group setting, however the books do contain a few activity pages which, if you are able, can be copied for multiple children.     *two to three children willing to share supplies

Question 7

Why is there a price difference between the boxed set and the subscription?

Accepted Answer

The price difference is based on two factors:

1. The boxed set price does not include provincial taxes, which will be added in the cart.  2. The subscription has some extra shipping costs.

Question 8

Can I order through my school board using a purchase order number?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for sure. We are registered as vendors with many boards in Canada. Just send us an email or message with your order, your school board contact details, and shipping address, and we will send your board an invoice for payment. PO orders takes a few weeks to process, depending on your board's payment protocols.
