History
An excellent way to learn more about the history of the Canada Gazette is by reading the book entitled 160 Years of the Canada Gazette. This book commemorates 160 years of coordinating, producing, publishing and distributing the official newspaper of the Government of Canada. Divided into two parts, 160 Years of the Canada Gazette is about the commitment of a government to inform its citizens.
The first part tells the 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 the daily lives of Canada’s citizens.
The second part contains historical facts that detail the evolution of the Canada Gazette, its early years and the effects of Confederation, the creation of separate parts to publish regulations and new statutes, as well as the development of an Internet edition.
