HeritageMinutes (Historica Minutes: History by the Minute) are sixty-second short films each illustrating an important moment in Canadian history.
The minutes were first introduced on March 31, 1991 as part of a one-off heavily-promoted history quiz show hosted by Rex Murphy.
The continued broadcast of the Minutes and the production of new ones was pioneered by Charles Bronfman's CRB Foundation and Canada Post (with Bell Canada being a later sponsor).
Discussion was held on the mandate of the Committee and Council’s expectations of the Committee.
Chris Oslund – Council Representative to the Heritage Committee, Curator/Director of the Haileybury Heritage Museum, 1st Vice-President of the Ontario Historical Society, Chair of the Ontario Historical Society Foundation, Director of the Cochrane-Temiskaming Museums and Galleries Association.
A general discussion was held on the role and expectation of the Heritage Committee.
Committee minutes are posted following their adoption by the Committee.

One minute is not a lot of time, so they will have to remember to be concise in their use of language and content.
The students will need time to practice their scenes, even if filming the HeritageMinute, as this will speed up the process once they are in front of the camera.
They will then either be ready to present live in front of the class or to film and edit their HeritageMinutes.
