Note the focus on remembrance as this month’s theme in the Canada’s History magazine.
Also, due to the fact that we are in the remembrance period, we’re likely to see more activity in the blog portion of our website over the next couple of weeks.

Canada’s History Archive featuring The Beaver
Please note: Some items featured in our newsletters and social media will include links to the Canada’s History Archive. The Beaver magazine was founded, and for decades was published, during eras shaped by colonialism. Concepts such as racial, cultural, or gender equality were rarely, if ever, considered by the magazine or its contributors. In earlier issues, readers will find comments and terms now considered derogatory. Canada’s History Society cautions readers to explore the archive using historical thinking concepts — not only analyzing the content but asking questions of who shaped the content and why.
