About

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 two periodicals, available in both English and French:

1. The Canadian Reader / Nos Nouvelles (formerly 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 and Level 2) – a collection of the previous month's top national and international news stories with accompanying assignments, designed for students in grades 5 through 10.

LesPlan also publishes two comic series (available in English only):

1. WebVoyagers Comic Yearbooks (#1 and #2) – each compilation of 8 three-page cartoon episodes features three children who use their magic computer to travel to different locations in Canada to find out more about their country.

2. News4Youth Investigates... (Afghanistan, Global Warming) – a graphic non-fiction series that offers background information on current hot topics for students in grades 5 through 10.  

Both comics are available as class sets accompanied by a photocopiable Teacher's Guide.
