Teaching civics can be tough. To support educators, the Parliament of Canada offers free, bilingual, and classroom-ready resources that can help kickstart conversations about democracy and government.
Our Country, Our Parliament
Our Country, Our Parliament is your one-stop shop for teaching Canada’s democratic system. Completely revised and redesigned in 2025, this flagship publication is now available in print and online! Both formats offer students an in-depth look at Canada’s system of government—from Parliament and elections to the Charter and levels of government. Order free print copies or check out the website, which also includes games, activities, and lesson plans.
Resources for Teachers website
This brand-new website brings together all of Parliament’s classroom products and tools, including games and activities, videos, printables, and more. You can easily find the right content for your class by filtering by topic or grade level.
Parliament: The Classroom Experience
Available to schools across Canada free of charge, this travelling virtual reality program brings students inside the doors of Parliament’s iconic Centre Block, which is temporarily closed for rehabilitation. In 360° VR, they experience the Senate, House of Commons, Peace Tower, and other key spaces. Take a peek at our program in action or book your kit online.
TEACH is the largest national education publication in Canada. We support good teachers and teaching and believe in innovation in education.
