Doing the Right Thing is a federally-funded curriculum resource designed to help students think deeply about things that we all experience as Canadians, and introduces complex issues around recognizing our past mistakes and trying, or not, to make up for them - as individuals, as communities, and as Canadians. The case studies presents numerous examples on both a macro and a personal level, supported by examples from literature and history, for students to consider, discuss, explore, debate and reflect upon, as they explore the range of possibilities to learn from the lessons of the past.
