About the Artist
Nathan Scott is one of those people who doesn't realize there's anything he can't do. When he sees something he's interested in, he reads widely, thinks deeply and seeks to master it. Born and raised in Victoria, BC, in a military family, he learned that whatever he does, he must do well and according to schedule.

Additional Educational Resources
Educational resources for the Prime Ministers Path are continually being developed.
If you are an educator interested in contributing resources for class trips or visitors to the Path, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for materials appropriate for Primary, Junior, Intermediate and Senior learners, covering a range of subjects, perspectives and learning approaches.
Resources may include lesson plans, activities, discussion guides, projects or other materials that help students explore the history, people and events connected to each Prime Minister.
If you have an educational resource you would like to contribute, please contact us.
