Canada's National History Society Information

History is happening right now at Canada's History, where our mission is to make the discovery of our nation's past relevant, engaging, empowering and accessible to all Canadians. Canada's History is one of only two national charities devoted to the field of public history and the only one with a broad national membership base. Our loyal members include some 50,000 Canadian adults, children and youth from Toronto to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut; from Montreal to Balcarres, Saskatchewan; and from Vancouver to Centreville, Nova Scotia. Our popular publications, Canada's History Magazine (formerly The Beaver) and Kayak: Canada's History Magazine for Kids, bring the people and events that have shaped our past to life in stories that educate us as well as entertain. Our national awards and recognition programs celebrate the exemplary efforts of others working to preserve, promote and popularize Canadian history. We are leaders in weaving connections within Canada's diverse history community, supporting local projects and helping teachers, community volunteers and the general public tap the rich vein of Canadian history resources country-wide.
