Discover More about Canada and Canadians
The Canadian Encyclopedia plays an essential role in providing Canadians and others with accurate, updated information about our people and country. This has been the case even as the Encyclopedia has made the transition from print to CD-ROM, to its present online format. The move to digital, made in 2001, means the Encyclopedia is available free to anyone with internet access.
The Canadian Encyclopedia contains more than 61,000 multimedia items including:
- Images
- Maps
- Games
- Audio
- Video
Multimedia is augmented through acquisition and partnerships with Maclean’s magazine and The Canadian Press. Interactive features include curated content collections, interactive timelines and immediate updates of important events. The site also offers a learning centre for teachers and parents that contains classroom resources, quizzes and themed study guides.
