The complete landmark 17-episode, 32-hour series follows events from Pre-History to 1990. Charting the country's past, this series chronicles the rise and fall of empires, the clash of great armies and epoch-making rebellions. The vibrant story is one of courage, daring and folly, told through the personal testimonies of the everyday men and women who lived it — trappers and traders, pirates and prospectors, soldiers and settlers, saints and shopkeepers.

Teacher Resource Packages are available to help you maximize classroom presentation of the series — Grades 5-9 or Grades 10-12.

These guides are supported by additional background material and downloadable blackline masters which can be found at cbc.ca/history, an essential resource for those teaching Canadian history/Studies who have access to the Canada: A People's History educational videos.
