Summary:
Important, interesting, as well as sometimes little known events which happened on each day of the year in Canadian history -- important historical turning points, odd and unusual occurrences, and milestones in sports, business, politics and entertainment. Examples: On January 17, 1880, silent movie actor and director Mack Sennett, an innovator of slapstick comedy, was born in Danville, Quebec. The “King of Comedy,” as he was known, introduced the Keystone Kops and the Bathing Beauties to his popular films. Eighty-eight years later, actor Jim Carrey was born on the same day. In 1996, Ernie Coombs, Mr. Dressup, retired from television on February 14. Also on the same day, in 2010, skier Alexandre Bilodeau won a gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Four years later at the Sochi Olympics, Bilodeau became the first freestyle skiing gold medallist to defend his Olympic title and the second Canadian to repeat Olympic gold. From Historica Canada, previously known as The Historica-Dominion Institute is a national organization dedicated to Canadian history, identity and citizenship, launched in 2009 through the amalgamation of The Historica Foundation of Canada and The Dominion Institute.
