All things "Donna Ward" https://www.donnaward.net/ are excellent for Canadian History. This scope and sequence http://www.donnaward.net/PDF/Scope_Sequence_Handout.pdf is an excellent guide for how to cover all aspects of Canadian History. I particularly like her idea to cover the history of Britain, France and Spain: since these countries were pivotal to Canadian history.
