MICHAEL APPS - History is one of those fields of study which has no boundaries. Constantly evolving, and consistently exciting, there is always a discussion to be had with an avid history buff, regardless of specific area of interest or time period. As a Canadian it can be easy to lose oneself, and be overshadowed by the events and histories of our larger neighbour to the south, and our parental nations across the Atlantic. Yet, once the historian begins to explore the pages of our collective history, our rich and dynamic past is unveiled and the essence of our Canadian being exposed. Canada History is dedicated to the promotion of events, websites, publications, media and dialogue which presents issues and aspects of Canada’s history throughout the ages. We aim to provide a forum for discussion and academic interpretation of our shared past, and to foster a greater appreciation for the place we call home.

 We invite you to be a part of the celebration of our Canadian legacy, and to shape our understanding of Canadian events both old and new. On the year of the bicentennial of the War of 1812 there is no better way to honour the sacrifice of the soldiers on both sides, and the long lasting impact this war has on our Canadian identity than to join us, and participate in this tribute to the past.
