10. Calgary Gay History
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Hi! I'm Kevin Allen. I'm a research lead of the Calgary Gay History Project. I am curious about what life was like for gay people in Calgary in the middle of the last century. This project also has an oral history preservation agenda; I hope to document stories from LGBTQ elders in Calgary whose stories should be recorded before they are lost.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I am Daniel. My goal is for this website to become a forum for the discussion of Canadian history, not as an academic specialty but as a vital part of our everyday life and culture. I have written thirty books, most of them about Canadian, British Columbia and Vancouver history. My intention from the beginning was to try to combine engaging narrative with an investigation of deeper historical themes.

For Canada, Christian roots go as deep as the early years of exploration and discovery. They extend to the Reformation in Europe. They spread further by colonization through both Britain and France. They continued to spread with the establishment of The Fur Trade, and other economic activity, and eventually gave birth to the Dominion of Canada. Join us on an exciting journey of exploration and discovery. Read our blogs which give insights to the chronological development of our Dominion.
