Who we are and what we do

LesPlan Educational Services Ltd. is a Canadian-owned and operated company that has been providing teachers across the country with current events resources since 1990. Our goal is to help teachers develop students' understanding of and ability to critically assess current issues and events by providing quality, up-to-date, affordable, ready-to-use resources.

We currently publish three resources, available in both English and French:

1. The Canadian Reader / Pleins Feux sur le Canada – a literacy-based compendium of Canadian news stories and informational cartoons written for students in grades 3 to 5;

2. What in the World? / Le Monde en Marche (Level 1) – a collection of the month's top national and international news stories with accompanying assignments, designed for students in grades 5 to 7;

3. What in the World? / Le Monde en Marche (Level 2) – a collection of the month's top national and international news stories with accompanying assignments, designed for students in grades 8 to 10.

How a subscription works:

All of our publications are photocopiable. Subscribers receive one copy and may photocopy it as many times as they wish for use by all teachers and students within one school. Alternatively, teachers may choose to copy one class set, or to duplicate the resource onto overheads.

All of our publications are available in two formats: electronic or hard copy. 

Subscribers ordering the electronic version of our publications receive an email notifying them when a new issue has been posted and providing them with a password to download the PDF file from our website. Electronic subscribers benefit from immediate delivery and from the ability to modify any part of the publication before printing the file, to suit the needs of a particular class. 

When a hard copy of a publication is requested, the resource is sent by first-class mail.

Our guarantee

We continually strive to maintain our reputation for consistently providing top-quality resources. If any of our publications fail to meet your expectations, you may cancel your subscription at any time and receive a full refund for all remaining issues.
