    Clovis (Llano)

    Clovis, also known as Llano, culture was an early Indigenous culture that was widely distributed throughout much of North America. These big-game hunters sought mammoths, mastodons, camels and horses that were native to North America at the time. Following the retreat of the Wisconsin glaciers, these animals became extinct, hastening the end of this stage of the history of early Indigenous peoples in North America.

    Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes

    The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHL) was an all-Black men’s hockey league. Organized by Black Baptists and Black intellectuals, it was founded in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1895. It was defunct during and after the First World War, reformed in 1921 and then fell apart during the Depression in the 1930s. Play was known to be fast, physical and innovative. The league was designed to attract young Black men to Sunday worship with the promise of a hockey game between rival churches after the services. Later, with the influence of the Black Nationalism Movement and rising interest in the sport of hockey, the league came to be seen as a potential driving force for the equality of Black Canadians. Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp in honour of the league in 2020. In 2024, the league was declared an event of national historic significance by Parks Canada.
