Since The Canadian Encyclopedia is an approved online source for Canadian school boards (and 35% of its users are students and teachers), we are kicking off this school year by asking our supporters to start a monthly donation to help TCE reach even more users this year! Your monthly donation will help us create new articles and update existing articles and timelines, to ensure Canadian students and teachers have access to accurate and fact-checked information written and edited by Canadians.
