160 years of the Canada Gazette
A pdf book about its history.
A fledgling nation
finds its voice
Canada's official newspaper has its roots in the beginnings of a nation.
The creation of the Canada Gazette, its history and its future are
intertwined in the growing pains of an entire country. Through times of
war and peace, of prosperity and depression, through innovations that
turned the industrial world upside down and shrunk the global world to a
village, the Canada Gazette has remained one constant. Collectively, its
pages mirror aspects of an evolving nation — its words define who we are
as Canadians.
This book commemorates the 160th anniversary of the Canada Gazette. The
first part tells a story of a publication that is as much a part of the
growth of a nation as it is an historical account of Canada's official
newspaper It is a story that supports the belief that every person has
the right to be a part of the laws and regulations that affect Canada's
citizens. The second part contains the historical facts that detail the
evolution of the Canada Gazette. Originally written and published in
1995 in the electronic journal Government Information in Canada by
Martha Foote, a law librarian, it was substantially revised for this
book.
