Canada's History

At Canada’s National History Society, we’ve always believed in the importance of knowing our country’s past.

As a country and as individuals we are uncovering new truths and working to reconcile them with past understandings. With misinformation threatening to undermine historical inquiry, there has never been a more important time to learn about, to consider, and to discuss our history. Canada’s National History Society fosters those conversations and supports those who take part in them. Our goal is to provide engaging and relevant history content from trustworthy sources, while including diverse perspectives that encourage critical thinking.

We are a national charitable organization. Founded in 1994 to popularize Canadian history, the society’s work includes: Canada’s History magazine, Kayak: Canada’s History Magazine for Kids, CanadasHistory.ca/HistoireCanada.ca, and the Governor General’s History Awards.
