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.

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.

Editorial
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
