Finalist for the 2010 Governor General's Awards for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History

For the students of Portage Collegiate Institute history is a problem, or a mystery to be solved. The "War Monument Research" is a project designed to involve the students in activities based in historical investigation and research. Students learn research and communication skills involved in investigating a twentieth century casualty of war from Canada's past. Students visit a local war monument, conduct research and complete worksheets so that they can reveal the life and war service of a local soldier who died in the Great War.
