I am interested in finding electronic and print resources
that would cover World Wars I and II and be age appropriate
for Grade 6 students. They and their parents will be doing
the research for a school project, but I need to provide
examples of the available sources and where to find them
with EPL. Age appropriate books and online
databases/encyclopedias with Canadian content would be best.
There do not need to be too many examples, just a couple of
each. I will need an answer by Friday, October 14th
(Tomorrow). Thank you for your time.

To whomever may help me in this endeavor, I am currently
writing a paper on the prayers said in Canada's House of
Commons for my class at the Universite de Saint-Boniface. I
have been searching for the original prayer and have not
found it. When looking, I stumbled across an information
page from your library about the prayer and it said to
contact you in order to see the text of the prayer from
1877. If there is any way you could send it to me, that
would be greatly appreciated as I live in Manitoba. If you
also happen to have it in French, that would be even better.
Thank you, Samara Froese

Re: royal commission appointed to look into the recent
depredations in the indian territories This item does not
come up in Google nor in the U of A library nor yours. It is
mentioned in the Introduction to a novel (by Alfred
Silver)about the incident at Seven Oaks (now in Manitoba) in
1816. Unfortunately, Silver gives no source information for
his reference, only that there is an index "of the papers of
the Royal Commission," etc. Can you help? Thanks.
