  2. THE PAST AS PART OF THE EVERYDAY PRESENT: AN OVERVIEW OF THE CANADIANS AND THEIR PASTS SURVEY David Northrup Institute for Social Research, York University Toronto, Ontario September 30, 2011

  3. Four Questions 1 What role does history play in Canadians’ lives? 2 Does the role history plays vary by socio-demographic characteristics such as income, education, gender and age? 3 How much does where you live, be it a big city or a rural area, Quebec or the West, matter in how you engage the past in your everyday life? 4 To what extent do our findings support or differ from the results of similar work in the United States and Australia?

  4. Interest in Various Pasts/Histories Figures, this and remaining slides are for national sample (3,119 observations), weighted data * The ‘not interested’ percent includes ‘not very interested,’‘not at all interested’ and those who did not answer the question

  5. Importance of Various Pasts * The ‘not important’ percent includes ‘not very important,’‘not at all important’ and those who did not answer the question

  6. Engagement in Past-related Activities

  7. “A Moment of Heritage” Well, you’re right there, that is where it happened. There’s an aura about that . . . I think a good example is in St. John’s, Newfoundland. They say at this point, the first explorers landed here, and it didn’t mean 100 yards down, it meant right there, right there, that is where the trail was. And I thought, “that’s something!” … That stuff just puts hackles up my back. . . . I’m not sure if everybody feels that, but I did.
