Canada History Week 2018

www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage.html Canadian Heritage and its portfolio organizations play a vital role in the cultural, civic and economic life of Canadians. Arts, culture and heritage represent $53.8 billion in the Canadian economy and more than 650,000 jobs in sectors such as film and video, broadcasting, music, publishing, archives, performing arts, heritage institutions, festivals and celebrations. Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation celebrates the innovative spirit of Canadians by telling the stories of those who dared to think differently. Inspired by the power of ingenuity, Ingenium encompasses three national institutions: the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. These three museums are places where the past meets the future, with spaces where visitors can learn and explore, play and discover. Ingenium continues to evolve — a new Collections Conservation Centre is currently under construction, designed to protect priceless Canadian heritage artifacts for the benefit of many generations to come. Beyond the physical walls of its museums, Ingenium’s engaging digital content, outreach programs and traveling exhibitions serve to educate, entertain, and engage audiences across Canada and around the world. www .ingeniumcanada.org/about www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/canada-history-fund.html Canada History Fund The Canada History Fund supports the development of learning materials and activities that contribute to increasing Canadians’ knowledge about Canada.
