As if they could....<grin>. As far as I know, they're not. (although I
haven't really looked.) It's tough enough for the provinces to keep their
websites up to date due to curricula changes. In my province,
Saskatchewan, our curriculum is euphemistically called the "evergreen
curriculum". LOL, and is located at:

http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/evergreen

(I put in the symlink to "evergreen" when I worked on their server...it
was in a folder called "docs". But that's another story...)

Having said this there is something called the "Western Canada Protocol"
where provinces from Manitoba west are trying to agree on basic curricula,
etc. Of course this is fraught with political issues...

http://www.wcp.ca

This site has some of the basic curricula in math and english.

Of course, I could build a database to put this stuff into, if required...
