The pictures on this website are linked to school-based sex instruction.
Some of which are components of 
the sex-ed programs that exist in Ontario's schools today, and other pictures represent what students were taught regarding sex-ed earlier in the 20th century. All photographs used on this website are historical as opposed to present.
 
 

Every picture on this website is borrowed. Please feel free to click on the images, as they will to take you to the website which the picture is borrowed from. Some of these websites are quite interesting.

As listed for navigation above, there are 5 sections to this website, a brief summary of each section is listed below:
 
First Term Assignment - The written findings of my initial research on the history of sex-ed in
