The War of 1812: Whose War Was It, Anyway? May 30
The Canadian Historical Association (CHA) Active History Committee, in partnership with The History Education Network (THEN/HiER) and the CHA, has organized a public mini-conference to be held in conjunction with this year’s CHA annual meeting, May 30, in Kitchener-Waterloo. It will engage historians, educators and the general public on a topic that is both timely and of local interest. Divided in two parts, the conference will include sessions on new teaching tools focussed on the war, local tourism and heritage initiatives, neglected legacies of the war and a special evening round table session focussed on the politics and memory of the bicentennial celebrations.
