To mark the 175th birthday of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Historica Canada has created this Education Guide on Canadian history during Laurier’s life and the importance of his legacy.

This guide invites students to deepen their understanding of Laurier’s role in Canada’s evolution, and how his politics shaped Canada’s future, through primary- and secondary-source research and analysis, engaging discussion questions and group activities. The Guide asks students to look at Canada’s evolving identity by examining the tensions between national unity and cultural conflict, international affairs and imperialism, and national expansion and immigration.

Several activities in this Guide have accompanying worksheets. Download the Worksheets Package here. A comprehensive Timeline of Laurier’s life is available for download here.
