The Crown in Canada

To study the Crown in Canada is to explore the foundations of our democracy

From the ancient and enduring relationships established between settlers and Indigenous Peoples to the constitutional development of the Canadian Federation, the history Crown in Canada dates back centuries. The King and his Viceregal Family (the Governor General and ten Lieutenant Governors) represent a uniquely Canadian institution that has evolved to meet the needs of a very dynamic society.

Nathan Tidridge has traveled across the country speaking and writing about the Crown in Canada for nearly 20 years, publishing numerous books, chapters and articles on the subject. The recipient of a number of awards for his work educating Canadians on the role of the Crown in Canada, and most recently its foundational role at the heart of Treaty relationships across the land, Nathan continues to explore the institution's place at the heart of our democracy.
