Heritage Minutes are dramatic interpretations of pivotal events in Canada’s history.

They are intended to entertain, educate and encourage further research into our nation’s past.

Heritage Minutes were created by The CRB Foundation in 1991 and re-launched by Historica Canada in 2012. After more than two decades on air and online, Heritage Minutes are treasured by Canadians young and old. They are “A Part of Our Heritage.”
