==Governor General's History Awards==
Governor General [[Roméo LeBlanc]] and [[Canada's National History Society]] created the Governor General's History Awards in 1996 to honour excellence in the teaching of [[History of Canada|Canadian history]]. The society then, working with other Canadian history organizations (including the Begbie Society, [[Canadian Historical Association]], [[Canadian Museums Association]], and [[Historica-Dominion Institute]]), expanded the scope of the awards beyond simply school teachers to include others who taught history in other ways and venues. There are now five specific awards within the Governor General's History Awards: the Governor General's History Awards for Excellence in Teaching, the Governor General's History Award for Scholarly Research (Sir John A. Macdonald Prize), the Governor General's History Award for Popular Media (Pierre Berton Award), the Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Museums, and the Governor General's History Awards for Excellence in Community Programming.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gg.ca/document.aspx?id=15435| last=Office of the Governor General of Canada| title=2013 Governor General's History Awards| date=15 November 2013| publisher=[[Queen's Printer for Canada]]| access-date=19 November 2013}}</ref>
