    Canada at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup

    The first FIFA Women’s World Cup to be held in Canada, and only the third in North America, the 2015 tournament was the largest and most watched in Women’s World Cup history. Team Canada made it to the quarter-finals, a significant improvement from the 2011 tournament. The popularity of the 2015 Women’s World Cup in Canada, particularly among young girls, reflects the increasing interest in soccer in a country known primarily for its love of hockey.

    2018 Toronto Danforth Shooting

    Minutes before 10:00 p.m. on Sunday 22 July 2018, a 29-year-old man walked into a busy Toronto neighbourhood and began shooting people indiscriminately. He walked along Danforth Avenue, shooting others before exchanging gunfire with police and turning his handgun on himself. The shooter killed 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis and left 13 people injured. The rampage led to calls for more gun control in Canada.

    2018 Toronto Van Attack

    At 1:24 p.m. on 23 April 2018, a 25-year-old man who identified as an incel (involuntary celibate), drove a rented van onto the sidewalk on Yonge Street in Toronto’s North York business district. He proceeded to drive south, intentionally running over pedestrians. When he was stopped by police 10 minutes later, 10 people (eight of them women) were dead and 16 injured. It was the biggest mass murder in Toronto history and the worst in Canada since the Montreal massacre in 1989. On 3 March 2021, the driver was found guilty of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder. His sentencing process is scheduled to begin on 11 January 2022.

    2020 Nova Scotia Attacks

    Late in the evening on Saturday, 18 April 2020, a 51-year-old man assaulted his common-law wife in Portapique, Nova Scotia. He then began a 13-hour rampage in which he committed multiple shootings and set fire to several homes in 16 locations. Using a vehicle disguised as an RCMP police cruiser and wearing an old RCMP uniform for much of the time, the killer murdered 22 people and injured six others. He was shot and killed by two RCMP officers at a gas station south of Enfield, Nova Scotia, 100 km from where the violence began. It is the worst mass killing in modern Canadian history. This article contains sensitive material that may not be suitable for all audiences.

    2025 Vancouver Lapu-Lapu Day Car Attack

    On 26 April 2025, a 30-year-old man with a history of severe mental health issues drove an SUV through Vancouver’s Lapu-Lapu Day Block Party, a public celebration of Filipino heritage. Eleven people — between the ages of 5 and 65 — were killed, and at least 32 were injured. The perpetrator was known to police and under the care of mental health professionals at the time. They were later criticized for not responding to what the province’s Mental Health Review Board called “multiple red flags.” The rampage, which had a higher death toll than the 2018 Toronto van attack, led to calls for improved safety at public events and for better infrastructure in support of mental health.

    25th Anniversary of Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on April 4, 2005. Partner content is not updated. IT WAS 5 A.M., just west of Sudbury, and Terry FOX was having his first fight of the day. I'd yet to meet the guy, except for a friendly nod as he left his motel room for the Marathon of Hope van to take up his run where he'd stopped the day before.

    A Part of Our Heritage

    This editorial was written in 2016 in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the first Heritage Minute. As with all of the editorial content on The Canadian Encyclopedia, it is not updated. "A part of our heritage." It’s been 25 years since those words first appeared in a series of short films depicting some of the significant people, events and stories that have helped shape Canada’s history. The Heritage Minutes were first broadcast on 31 March 1991, launching a uniquely Canadian cultural phenomenon. Created at a time when many Canadians reacted with ignorance or indifference towards their country’s history, the Minutes enter their 25th year in a more mature Canada, one that has grown significantly over the years and become much more inclined to actively, willingly and enthusiastically celebrate itself. The Heritage Minutes collection — now at 82 episodes and counting, with three more due this year — has grown right along with it, addressing subjects as vital and diverse as Viola Desmond, Terry Fox, Responsible Government and Louis Riel. In keeping with their lesson of learning where we’ve come from, we’ve provided a guided tour of the history of the Heritage Minutes. “People must know the past to understand the present and to face the future.” – Nellie McClung, 1935
