Some Heritage Minutes stick with you. For Daniel Maslany, it’s the story of Dr. Wilder Penfield and the unforgettable smell of burnt toast.
Daniel sat down with us to reflect on why the Penfield Heritage Minute made such an impression; from its dark, cinematic style to the way it reveals a story of scientific discovery, hope and a complicated history.
In 2026, we’re celebrating 35 years of the Heritage Minutes with Canadians reflecting on the stories that continue to shape our understanding of the country. Join us each week as we explore Canada’s history — minute by minute.
