SUMMARY:40e ASSEMBLÉE GÉNÉRALE ANNUELLE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ D’HISTOIRE DE TORONTO
DESCRIPTION:Nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à la\n40e ASSEMBLÉE GÉNÉRALE ANNUELLE\nDE LA SOCIÉTÉ D’HISTOIRE DE TORONTO \nL’Assemblée nous permettra de faire le bilan de l’année 2025\, de conduire l’élection de notre conseil d’administration\, de présenter notre rapport financier et nos projets et de passer un bon moment ensemble. \nLes postes à pourvoir sont ceux de la vice-présidence et du secrétariat\, pour des mandats de deux (2) ans renouvelables. Attention : Il faut être membre de la SHT afin de pouvoir poser sa candidature et pour être admissible à voter. Est en règle toute personne ayant réglé son adhésion avant 18 h 30\, le 11 mai 2026. Les mises en candidature seront acceptées jusqu’au moment du vote. \nLe formulaire d’adhésion EN LIGNE (30 $ pour une adhésion individuelle) est accessible à l’adresse sht.ca/adherer (cliquez sur le lien pour y accéder). \nLa partie administrative sera suivie comme à l’habitude par une présentation. Notre invité est Colin M. Coates\, professeur d’études canadiennes et d’histoire au Collège universitaire Glendon de l’Université York et président de la Société historique du Canada. \nOrdre du jour – 40e AGA de la Société d’histoire de Toronto\n11 mai 2026 à 18h30 \n\n\nOuverture de la séance et reconnaissance des territoireS\nChoix d’un président et d’un secrétaire d’assemblée\nAdoption de l’ordre du jour\nAdoption du procès-verbal de la 39e AGA du 13 mai 2025\nRapport de la présidente\nRapport financier\nÉlections\nQuestions diverses\nRésultat du vote\nClôture de l’Assemblée\n\n\nPartie culturelle : M. Colin Coates nous parlera de la culture politique au Canada sous Louis XIV \nDans le Canada de Louis XIV\, les autorités coloniales ont tenté de reproduire l’autorité royale française. Transposées dans la colonie de la vallée du Saint-Laurent\, où une petite population française vivait aux côtés des communautés autochtones\, ces pratiques métropolitaines ont acquis une signification nouvelle. \nMon livre sur la culture politique au Canada sous Louis XIV examine le pouvoir royal tel qu’il se manifestait dans les rituels (entrées solennelles\, Te Deum\, processions)\, la rhétorique (luttes politiques autour des cabales et des factions) et les objets (portraits\, bustes royaux\, monnaie\, édifices\, cartes et recensements). Cette culture politique coloniale a continué d’influencer la vie des Français au Canada longtemps après la mort du Roi-Soleil en 1715. \nDes rafraîchissements et bouchées seront servis. \nContact : info@sht.ca

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum - Chinese Heritage in Canada: The Canadian Pacific Railway and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The history of Chinese heritage in Canada is often introduced through a single storyline\, the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Thousands of Chinese laborers helped to lay the foundation of this nation\, who endured harsh working conditions\, discriminatory pay\, and exclusion from recognition. \nThis talk celebrates Chinese heritage in Canada by recognizing the importance of this point in our history. In the meantime\, this talk also highlights that this is not the only storyline for Chinese Canadians\, it moves beyond the railway to explore how Chinese communities are established in Canada despite decades of legislated discrimination. \nLastly\, the talk explores Chen’ own experience as a Chinese woman working in public transit today in Canada\, on how Chinese heritage in Canada is not only something inherited\, but something actively lived. I want to challenge the audiences to rethink Chinese heritage\, beyond the figures of historical hardship\, but as ongoing contributors to the system that keeps Canada moving. \nAbout our speaker: \nYeeman is the Director for the TTC’s Farecard team. She oversees a team that is responsible for the TTC’s fare payment system\, including system performance and quality assurance. The TTC is the largest Canadian transit agency\, and third largest in North America\, serving approximately 1.7 million riders daily across the subways\, buses\, streetcars and paratransit network. \nPrior to her current role\, Yeeman worked in various roles within the TTC\, in areas of Operations and Infrastructure\, Training Development\, and Maintenance. In 2023\, Yeeman publicly spoke on the investigation of the Scarborough Rapid Transit incident and the discontinuation of the line. Yeeman is also a published industry author on public sector technology modernization. \nYeeman received her B.A. in Global and Organizational Development from Queen’s University\, a Post Graduate Certificate from Seneca College in Human Resources Management\, as well as a Project Management Professional Certification from the Project Management Institute. \nRegister for Chinese Heritage in Canada: The CPR and Beyond

SUMMARY:La Société d'histoire de Toronto HISTORITOUR - MUD RIVER
DESCRIPTION:LA MUD RIVER DE LYTTON PARK À YONGE ET EGLINTON \nSamedi 16 mai 2026 à 13h \nDépart : Lytton Park sur Avenue Road à quelques mètres de la rue Lytton. Le bus #61 s’arrête à la rue Lytton – vous pouvez le prendre à la station de métro Eglinton (ligne 1) ou à la station Avenue (ligne 5) en traversant la rue\, l’arrêt pour le bus #61 est au coin nord/est d’Avenue Road et d’Eglinton ouest\nArrivée : Métro Eglinton (ligne 1) \nGuides : Nicole Baboulène et Rolande Smith\nQuelques petites côtes \nLa Mud River est une des nombreuses ‘’rivières cachées’’ (Lost Rivers) de Toronto. Nous suivrons – en surface – ses traces sur un petit parcours. Elle prend sa source à la hauteur du parc Downsview\, et se jette dans la rivière Don près des Brick Works. Bien qu’enterrée\, il est possible de suivre son cours grâce aux variations de terrain dans le quartier. \nUn quartier qui fut un temps connu et occupé par des Premières Nations. Plus tard il y eut des usines\, des maraîchages\, un club de chasse et bien plus. Maintenant c’est un quartier résidentiel que nous découvrirons ensemble. \nLa Société d’histoire de Toronto passe le chapeau à la fin \nContacts : info@sht.ca ou smth7631@rogers.com
