Abstract: On June 23rd, 2016, Mark O’Neil, CEO of the Canadian Museum of History announced funding for eleven new projects submitted by a diversity of public and private, not-for-profit Canadian museums and other Canadian historical, heritage and cultural organizations including the Beaton Institute, the Centre for Research on French Canadian Culture, Juno Beach Centre, the National Gallery of Canada, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society and the Laurier Museum.1 The Virtual Museum of Canada has funded more than five hundred online projects that have been developed to, “…engage audiences of all ages, interests and abilities in Canada’s history, heritage and culture.”

Six months later, perhaps we still need to monitor the calls regarding Twitter’s demise.1 Now in existence for ten years, I would argue that Twitter continues to be an important part of academic conferences and a tool for reaching out to members and non-members of the Canadian Historical Association. At the Annual General meeting in Calgary, #twitterstorians engaged, posted, shared and mentioned the work of colleagues well in advance of the Annual Meeting of the CHA.
