The Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba
The Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba provides educational materials for grades K–12 as well as tools and training for teachers on exploring the Treaties and the Treaty relationship. The Commission was created through a partnership between the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and Crown and Indigenous Relations to increase awareness of the Treaties. It strives to strengthen, rebuild and enhance the Treaty relationship between First Nations and Canada through education, facilitation and research.
The Bank of Canada Museum
That’s us! We’re a museum in Ottawa, Ontario about the Canadian economy and the role the Bank of Canada plays in it. We create resources on economics, history, financial literacy and more for students in grades K–12. Our mission is to creatively bring the work of the Bank to Canadians by demystifying its key functions. We also interpret Canada’s monetary heritage and provide access to Canada’s National Currency Collection.
