Facing the past is not always easy. As we mark our twenty-sixth year as an organization, Canada’s History Society is reflecting on its own history. We know that the legacy of The Beaver is complicated, sometimes even problematic.

However, we also know that within the pages of the magazine there is great potential to encourage new questions and perspectives in sharing history with future generations. We invite you to explore our teaching resources and to engage with the magazine as a rich, primary resource.
