Millions of Canadians have grown up learning about history through 60-second movie theatre and television placements that brought the stories of great Canadians like Nellie McClung, Emily Carr and Dr. Wilder Penfield to life. Last fall, the Historica-Dominion Institute launched the first new Heritage Minute to be made in since 2005 about the story of Richard Pierpoint and the War of 1812.

Now HDI has launched a new call to action to Canadians to help craft the next two Heritage Minutes about the lives of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Etienne Cartier.

Anthony Wilson Smith, the President of the Historica-Dominion Institute, joined Canada's History to talk about the plan for these new Heritage Minutes. Learn more about their request for proposals.
