RHF and Historica Canada partner to Inspire Future Innovators

The Rideau Hall Foundation is proud to partner with Historica Canada, the largest independent organization devoted to enhancing awareness of Canadian history, to create a series of videos exploring Canadian innovations that have made the world a better and safer place.

This four-part series features innovation stories from Ingenious: How Canadians Made the World Smarter, Smaller, Kinder, Safer, Healthier, Wealthier and Happier, written by former Governor General of Canada David Johnston, and Tom Jenkins.

The animated videos are available in English and French and complement the Rideau Hall Foundation’s Education for Innovation (E4I) resources. These free, bilingual, K-12 lesson plans can be used by parents and teachers alike to keep kids learning and engaged during this period of distance education. The E4I resources introduce students to inspiring Canadian innovations and guide learners through the four phases of the Innovation Cycle. Students are inspired to inquire, ideate, incubate, and implement their innovations to make an Impact!

The first video will be released on May 19 2020, follow @Cdn_Innovation to watch!
