**THE ORGANIZATION**
Established as a National Charitable organization in 1994, Canada’s National History Society (Canada’s History) is headquartered in Winnipeg with 16 full and part-time employees.
Canada’s History is a leader in building and nurturing a passion for learning about Canada’s past, whether that learning takes place in a school classroom or in our own backyard. The organization develops resources to promote popular interest in Canadian history and delivers, across multiple platforms, outreach, teaching materials, educator training, community fairs, digital content, and other programs to engage Canadians in learning about our history. The organization celebrates excellence in history by administering the annual Governor General’s History Awards presented at Rideau Hall.
Canada’s History is building a growing history network of thousands of educators committed to best practices in learning and thinking historically. In addition to a growing digital program, it publishes "Canada's History" magazine and "Kayak: Canada's History Magazine for Kids," and provides the public and history educators with a wide variety of bilingual resources through via digital channels at canadashistory.ca and histoirecanada.ca. The organization strengthens the national network of Heritage Fair organizations across the country through its Young Citizen's/Jeunes Citizens initiatives.
