Hot Docs presents Citizen Minutes, a series of short documentaries highlighting ordinary Canadians doing extraordinary things to improve their communities.

At a time when citizen engagement is needed more than ever, through these short docs your students will meet civically minded Canadians making a difference who just might inspire students to engage within their own communities. While themed around civic engagement, there are many subjects and topics to pull from each film.

At this time, teachers can access Citizen Minutes Series 1, 2, & 3 to stream in classrooms, along with the accompanying education packages.
