Canada 150. Canada's birthday. The sesquicentennial is here on July 1 and it’s a great time to reflect on our great Canadian history which is not only vast but very entertaining.

There are tragedies and triumphs, villains and heroes, great battles and sudden betrayals, loyal refugees and long struggles for social justice.

From prehistoric hunters who crossed into Canada from Asia from 30,000-10,000 BC, to Confederation in 1867 (the first four provinces: Québec, Ontario, N.S., and N.B.) to today, the interpretation of Canadian history may vary – drastically, at times – but there are still core events from our past that every Canadian should know. But where does one start?

Global Research Library’s (GRL) “research engine”, www.edu.Global, based in Niagara Falls, Ontario was initially formed over 30 years ago and with a continuous period of passionate research and development by a professional team of researchers. They developed systems for collecting and organizing data for virtually all the people that lived in Canada between 1600 and 1900 like you’ve never seen before.

Although the site is a hotbed of information for everything from genealogy to zoology, from a purely Canadian perspective imagine one online resource where you can have access to original census reports, newspaper articles, pictures and so much more. (Currently the www.edu.global database features over 50 million downloadable global resources and is always expanding).

As part of Canada’s birthday celebrations www.edu.global invites everyone in Niagara and beyond to find out more about this amazing country we live in and the people that founded it by accessing our data.

Individual researchers can access this vast database by clicking this free link: https://edu.global/landing/?page=register
