What makes us Canadian? We use eh! a lot…..
Ask anyone who hears that familiar “eh” at the end of a sentence. “You must be Canadian.” True, we do find ourselves adding the “eh” at the end of sentences. Canadians are famous for it. Perhaps that is what drew us to use this expression in our namesake. We are the Canadian EH Society. It is short for The Canadian Explorations Heritage Society. Now, that sounds like a mouthful so we shortened the “Explorations Heritage” part and took a play on the familiar Canadian “eh”. Makes it easier to look us up under Canadian EH.
Here we announce our launch as a non-profit organization. After a successful expedition in 2016 and documentary film tour and photography exhibition we saw a real interest from audiences. This gave us the drive to continue on with bigger and bolder projects.
Our Bigger Goal
Our aim is to raise awareness the rich history afforded to us by early Canadian explorers. We continue this tradition by going into the wilds and sharing the stories that make up part of Canada’s history. Many Canadians may not even know the names of these notable men and women.
The adventures we re-create are authentic, complete with period specific gear and clothing as well as the technology of the day. We capture these stories through documentary films. By touring the films and speaking about our experiences we are able to connect with Canadians in a very personal way. History seems to come alive.
The next adventure is July 2018 to Mystery Mountain.
Follow the team as they recreate the explorations of Don and Phyllis Munday with their party in 1926. The team will spend 5 weeks in the wild and go through numerous challenges. Learn more here.
