They are the storytellers of history — enthralling and engaging Canadians everywhere as they explore our country’s past. From teachers, authors, and scholars to curators, community volunteers, and more, these history champions bring context and clarity to the past, and inspire us all to learn more about Canada and its many peoples.
Canada’s National History Society is proud to introduce the 2021 recipients of the Governor General’s History Awards — an annual recognition of the achievements of individuals and organizations that make the past relevant, empowering, and accessible.
