10. Calgary Gay History
Hi! I'm Kevin Allen. I'm a research lead of the Calgary Gay History Project. I am curious about what life was like for gay people in Calgary in the middle of the last century. This project also has an oral history preservation agenda; I hope to document stories from LGBTQ elders in Calgary whose stories should be recorded before they are lost.

11. Daniel Francis Blog
I am Daniel. My goal is for this website to become a forum for the discussion of Canadian history, not as an academic specialty but as a vital part of our everyday life and culture. I have written thirty books, most of them about Canadian, British Columbia and Vancouver history. My intention from the beginning was to try to combine engaging narrative with an investigation of deeper historical themes.

12. Today in Ottawa's History
The purpose of this blog is to provide readers with a brief account of an interesting or important event that happened in Ottawa's history on a given day of the year. Ultimately, my objective is to have an article for every day of the year. While I will try to cover the highlights of each event, the brevity of the articles precludes a lot of detail and analysis.

For Canada, Christian roots go as deep as the early years of exploration and discovery. They extend to the Reformation in Europe. They spread further by colonization through both Britain and France.

Join us on an exciting journey of exploration and discovery. Read our blogs which give insights to the chronological development of our Dominion.
