1. What the heck is “AKGTC” ?!?
The Kids’ Guide to Canada project – Un guide du Canada it’s an innovative teacher-led initiative which provides K-8 students across Canada with the opportunity to build a guide to Canada written BY children and FOR children – and an opportunity to learn and teach each other about the land and people of Canada from coast to coast to coast.

2. Wow, that’s sound really great – but where do I begin?!?
First, you check out the website and Kids Guide:
akgtcanada.com

YOU REGISTER!
