Did you know that Stephen Harper is the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada? How many of our former leaders can you name?
I know, for me, I was quite surprised at how many I didn’t recognize at all. There are many names I just don’t know of that list of 22.
So, I figured I’d put together a series to feature each Prime Minister one at a time, with links to resources, lesson plans, videos, or anything else I can find that might help you if you are studying Canadian history with your kids.
For each, you will find a link to a notebooking page – where your child can keep track of important information for each leader, such as when they were power, what political party they represented, and if anything of significance happened while they were in leadership.

This is great, so love what you’re doing here!
Thanks! Now to keep up with it 😉
What a fantastic idea! Might have to think about doing something similar – now you’ve got me thinking!!!
Hey! No stealing my ideas! 😉
Great idea! Love it
I only see one link. Am I missing something or are the others coming?
Sir John A. MacDonald is great!
Thanks for stopping by. I have a bit of a hard time finding much for some of the older PMs, but I have a few to add to this list (forgot!) It’s a work in a progress – I’ve fallen behind. 🙂 I will keep working on it asap.
Arthur Meighen was from St Marys and the one I know most about. One of our schools used to be call Arthur Meighen, and we have a statue of him in one of our parks. I love politics and the history of politics, so this is shaping up to be a fun feature.
Do you have the information for the first four prime ministers? The links are broken. Thanks 🙂
Ack – so sorry that happened. They should be fixed now! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know.
