Join the Editor's Circle

Take your passion for history to a new level and join the 2025 Editor’s Circle today. With your annual contributions of $500 or more, you can help us ensure that Canada’s diverse and memorable past is shared with everyone everywhere.
The Editor’s Circle was founded in 2020 to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of Canada’s History /The Beaver magazine. Now The Beaver returns in a special print supplement within the pages of Canada’s History magazine.
An annual giving program, the Editor’s Circle supports Canada’s History’s second century of storytelling. Patrons and Supporters, whose gifts range from $500 to $10,000+, are recognized here. Integral to our editorial success, donors’ contributions empower us to share more diverse stories of Canada’s past.
We are grateful for the loyalty and generosity of all the subscribers and donors whose support helps to keep history alive — and helps us put The Beaver back into the pages of Canada’s History.
The Hudson’s Bay Company History Foundation is Founding Patron and the largest private donor to Canada’s National History Society.
