— W.B. Yeats, quoted in Michael MacMahon
History is something we experience, share, and carry forward together.
At CanHist, we bring Canada’s stories to life through tours, learning programs, and national projects that connect past milestones with future possibilities.
We do history differently — making it engaging, meaningful, and unforgettable.
