Why the Right Planner Matters—Especially for Canadian Classrooms

Our world is changing—and so are the needs of Canadian students.

That’s why more educators are rethinking the role of a student agenda. When chosen with care, planners can make a bold statement and have a lasting impact.

Planners That Reflect Real Canadian Classrooms

At PiQ, being a Canadian planner company means more than splashing maple leaves and mountains across the page. It means understanding the struggles Canadian students face and providing the tools they need to grow stronger, more confident, and more resilient.

To do this, we’ve:

• Collaborated with Canadian educators to develop planning layouts that work
• Consulted Canadian students to ensure our content is meaningful
• Showcased work by Canadian artists, including Indigenous artists, to highlight Canadian talent
• Teamed up with leaders like Kids Help Phone to bring students powerful mental health resources
• Used high-quality materials to ensure our planners withstand the rigours of everyday student life

When you choose student agendas from PiQ, you’re picking products made with experience and authenticity.

And that’s something students feel on every page.

What We Often Hear from Educators:

• “I had no idea your products were this beautiful.”
• “You can tell this wasn’t just thrown together. There’s care on every page.”
• “These don’t feel like school supplies. They feel meaningful.”

Planning Changes Lives. Here's How We Know.

Planning isn’t just a classroom strategy—it’s a skill students carry for life.

When taught early and used consistently, planning builds confidence, independence, and executive functioning. And those skills have never mattered more than they do now.

As a mom of a kiddo with ADHD who’s been using planners since kindergarten (a perk of having a mom in the business), I’ve seen firsthand the impact the right tools, structure, and routine can have. Now an adult, they thrive in areas where they might have struggled. That’s not just luck. I believe it’s what happens when kids have the right tools and support to succeed.

This Isn’t Just Business. It’s Personal.

We’ve been doing this for over 40 years, beginning as Premier School Agendas, and now as PiQ. We’re proud of the legacy, and even prouder of what we’ve built: A mission-driven Canadian company committed to empowering students to reach their peak potential.

We’ve teamed up with Kids Help Phone because we believe in putting our money—and our hearts—where it matters most. Every student planner includes a free Kids Help Phone back cover, and 50% of proceeds from our Kids Help Phone banners and posters go directly to supporting their work.

We prioritize working with Canadian artists and writers because we believe in amplifying real voices—voices that reflect the diversity, creativity, and lived experiences of students across this country. Real creativity doesn’t come from a prompt or a generator. It comes from people who understand what it means to live here.

And we take pride in every phone call, email, and moment we get to serve educators who are trying to do right by their students.
