dbo:abstract
  • Historica Canada is Canada's largest organization dedicated to enhancing awareness of the country's history and citizenship. All of its programs are offered bilingually and reach more than 28 million Canadians annually. A registered national charitable organization, Historica Canada was originally established as the Historica-Dominion Institute following a 2009 merger of two existing groups—the Historica Foundation of Canada and The Dominion Institute—and changed to its present name in September 2013. Anthony Wilson-Smith has been president and CEO of the organization since September 2012, with the board of directors being chaired (as of January 2021) by First National Financial-co-founder Stephen Smith. Some of the organizations best-known programs include its collection of Heritage Minutes—60-second vignettes re-enacting important and remarkable incidents in Canada's history—and The Canadian Encyclopedia. Historica Canada regularly conducts public opinion polls and creates educational videos, podcasts, and learning tools. It also operates the Ottawa-based Encounters with Canada youth program. (en)
  • Historica Canada est le plus grand organisme canadien consacré à la sensibilisation à l’histoire canadienne et la citoyenneté. Son projet vise ouvertement à faire de l'enseignement de l'histoire un instrument de construction du nationalisme canadien. Ses programmes, tous bilingues, rejoignent plus de huit millions de Canadiens chaque année. Un organisme sans but lucratif national enregistré, Historica Canada est le résultat d’une fusion en 2009 de la Fondation Historica du Canada et de l'Institut Dominion. À la suite de la fusion, l'organisme était connu sous le nom de Institut Historica-Dominion jusqu’à ce que le nom soit changé pour le nom actuel en septembre 2013. Parmi les programmes les plus connus de l’organisme, on compte la collection de plus de 80 Minutes du patrimoine - de courtes vignettes de 60 secondes dépeignant les événements importants et marquants de l’histoire du Canada - ainsi que L'Encyclopédie canadienne, la seule encyclopédie nationale de ce type connue dans le monde occidental.
