There are two separate items in this file. The Labour Movement in British Columbia 1840-1914 and The Labour Movement 1914-2013 can be used as background material for the Working People: A History of Labour in British Columbia vignettes series hosted on the Knowledge Network. The articles are designed to be used individually in the Social Studies 9 and Social Studies 10 course. Teachers can supplement the reading activity with selected lessons from the Working People: A History of Labour in BC lessons that are posted here from the Labour History Project. Additionally, the video series The Edge of the World: B.C.'s Early Years has a number of segments that compliment the unit plan for the 1840-1914 time period.
