For Elad Tzadok, the Jim Egan Heritage Minute is a powerful example of how history can make us feel something deeply human.
Tzadok reflects on the story of Jim Egan and Jack Nesbitt, whose decades-long fight for spousal rights helped pave the way for greater protections for LGBTQ+ Canadians. It’s a story of love, resilience and the lasting impact of standing up for what’s right.
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.
