Yesterday on CBC’s Power & Politics, Shachi Kurl – one of our featured voices on Nature Labs – highlighted that education is the single most important tool to help us navigate this moment we’re facing. At Nature Labs, we’re answering that call. Through our Canada at a Crossroads series, we are the only education platform offering balanced analysis and detailed context paired with curriculum-connected learning activities. Working with over 150,000 high school students in every region of the country, we aim to help students make sense of what’s happening in our world today.

Those of you already familiar with Nature Labs can head straight to your class to explore our newly released Chapters Four and Five.

More about the Canada at a Crossroads Series:

This new series is our featured inquiry media story – the tool we use to connect class lessons to real-world issues across the first five chapters of Nature Labs. We’ve also created a new stand alone course built around this series, allowing you to integrate the material into a range of high school (and university) classes!

Canada at a Crossroads features diverse subject matter experts and impactful visuals, while exploring the central question: How can Canada protect its economy and sovereignty – and strengthen our democracy – while also addressing the other major challenges of our time?

We never tell students what to think, but we do challenge their assumptions.
