Heritage Minutes are a series of part film shorts, part PublicServiceAnnouncements describing moments in Canadian history. It is considered a successor of the Canada Vignettes of the 1970s, but unlike the Canada Vignettes commissioned by the Creator/NationalFilmBoardOfCanada, this was produced by Historica Canada, who also maintains the ''Canadian Encyclopedia'' online. The short film series was first part of a one-off quiz series by Wayne Rostad. While first distributed to schools, they later showed up on television, radio, and in theaters before feature films. At first produced from 1991 to 1997, more Heritage Minutes were commissioned in 2012. The selection of films were as varied in content, with celebratory events like Terry Fox's run to infamous, controversial and tragic events such as the Halifax Explosion, the story of Chanie Wenjack, Louis Riel, etc.
