# 451 - Some Canadian History - Part 17

The information below comes from the site of the Canadian Historical Association:

"Founded in 1922, the Canadian Historical Association / La Société Historique du Canada is a bilingual not-for-profit and charitable association devoted to fostering the scholarly study and communication of History in Canada.

The CHA pursues a number of academic and professional activities for the benefit of its members; it sponsors a vast array of publications and represents the interests of historians and the heritage community by actively lobbying archives, museums, governments and granting agencies on issues relating to copyright, access to information, academic freedom and public access to historical documents."

A few years ago it issued a series of silver medallions related to the Canadian History.

They weight around 11.6g (0.37oz), have a 92.5% silver purity and Proof finish.

I could not find how many different medallions were issued, but I have 20 of them and they will be shown chronologically.

The seventeenth is the 1859 - Great Reform Convention

On November 9,1859 came to Toronto some six hundred delegates elected in all parts of Upper Canada to attend the great convention of the Reform party.

To them reform means improvement in the method and art of government and the removal of any restriction or disqualification that fell on any particular class or sect.
