About Us

All our programs are offered free of charge in both of our country’s official languages – and in addition, The Canadian Encyclopedia is available in 35 other languages. Our online programs and resources are accessed by more than 28 million users annually, and our educational tools have been distributed to more than 65,000 teachers from coast-to-coast-to-coast.

History is best taught and learned through a wide variety of voices and insights into our past. In doing so, we better understand the scale and scope of achievements by individuals and by our country overall - as well as those areas where we failed.

In all our programs, we place a premium on accuracy and context, and work with subject matter experts toward those ends. While an event happens once, it can be seen from many different perspectives.  We look to ensure that our material addressing the stories, achievements and challenges of Canada reflect, as much as possible, the views of those directly affected

As a charitable organization, Historica Canada is supported by a variety of sources, including governments, corporate sponsors, and individuals. If you wish to support our work through a donation, you may do so here.
