Canada History Week 2019: Working for the Future

PARTNERS

We’re the Canada people; we offer programs that you can use to explore, learn and reflect on our history, and what it means to be Canadian. Our programs, all offered bilingually, reached nearly 28 million Canadians last year. Our goal is to bring history to life with rich and compelling stories of national interest. We also support educators with curriculum-focused materials to inspire the next generation of history lovers and proud Canadians.

Canada’s History Society was established in 1994 through the generous support of The Hudson’s Bay Company History Foundation. Our mission is to promote greater popular interest in Canadian history, principally through publishing, education, and recognition programs. The Society’s work includes: Canada’s History magazine, Kayak : Canada’s History Magazine for Kids, CanadasHistory.ca , and the Governor General’s History Awards.
