SUMMARY:Nine Ships 1825- Bicentennial Souvenir Book Launch May 30th
DESCRIPTION:The special Bicentennial Souvenir\, a book produced by Nine Ships 1825\, is an attractive\, informative and welcome addition to our understanding of the Peter Robinson Irish Emigration of 1825. \nThe public is invited to attend the Launch of this Bicentennial Souvenir book on May 30th at 11:00 am at the Peterborough & Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce\, Board Room\, 175 George Street\, North in Peterborough. \nNine Ships 1825 is grateful to generous sponsors\, Gary and Joanne Reamey and Paschal and Sylvia McCloskey\, the Federal Government of Canada and other wonderful financial supporters. The publishing of this book was also made possible by Robert and Julie Young\, Dr. John and Denise Lyne\, Carl and Kathryn Young and Michael Battaglia Enterprises Inc.!  Robert & Julie Young  \nHear from historian Elwood Jones about how this attractive Bicentennial Souvenir has truly been a team effort. Learn how Nine Ships 1825 had support from many local community groups to develop plans to commemorate this remarkable Irish Emigration. Meet the talented graphic designer Aaron Robitaille\, who did a wonderful job of layout and design. \nIn this Souvenir you will learn about the Peter Robinson political experiment\, which recruited 2\,024 people in 307 families to prove that it was worthwhile for the British Government of the day to fully finance an 18-month emigration from a volatile area of Ireland to a fertile area of Upper Canada\, ultimately known as the Peterborough area. \nThe central piece of this Souvenir is an alphabetical listing of all the passengers who crossed on the Nine Ships commissioned by the British Government: the Fortitude\, Resolution\, Albion\, Brunswick\, Star\, Amity\, Regulus\, Elizabeth and John Barry. This is supplemented with historical notes to help place the 1825 emigration in a context of Ireland\, ocean travel\, difficulties of travel in a migration that lasted about three months\, of which the ocean saga was one month. \nThe Souvenir contains a guide to the events taking place through this Bicentennial year of 2025 as well as details of the August 1 to 10 Bicentennial Week events. \nAfter the launch the Bicentennial Souvenir will be available online at www.nineships1825.com \, at Trent Valley Archives\, 567 Carnegie Avenue\, Peterborough and at the County of Peterborough\, 470 Water Street\, Peterborough.                                                   -30- \nContact: Elwood Jones at ejones55@cogeco.ca

SUMMARY:Doors Open Toronto @ John McKenzie House
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Ontario Historical Society and the historic John McKenzie House during 2025 Doors Open Toronto. Visitors will have the chance to explore the historic house and headquarters of the OHS\, and learn how the historic building was saved by the community\, and still functions as an active community space to this day. \nThe John McKenzie House was built in 1913\, in a style described as Queen Anne Revival\, Arts and Crafts\, and Edwardian. The grand\, red brick house is profiled by a large L-shaped veranda with stylized Doric columns. Significant interior features include the centre hall plan\, a vestibule door and sidelights with beveled and leaded glass\, a large leaded art glass window that lights the landing of the main staircase\, panelled doors\, and original radiators. In 1993\, the Ontario Historical Society (OHS) entered into a partnership with the former City of North York to preserve and restore the John McKenzie House\, which serves as the provincial headquarters of the OHS.

SUMMARY:Glencoe and District Historical Society - The Bandit of Skunk’s Misery
DESCRIPTION:Paul Langan is going to tell us about the legend of Orval Shaw—The Bandit of Skunk’s Misery.  We often hear fragments of stories and myths.  Paul has done the research.  He is going to talk about the process of collecting information for historical books and about how this booklet came together. \nOrval Shaw never killed anyone or committed any major crime\, yet from 1921 to 1934\, Orval’s life of petty crimes led to some of the most sensational police hunts to try and capture him. \nAttend at The Archives in Glencoe (might be a full house) or Join Zoom Meeting \n

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Annual Fundraiser: Banned & Brewed
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the Town of York Historical Society’s Annual Fundraiser will take place on a new date\, May 1\, 2025\, to celebrate the City of Toronto’s 191st Birthday\, ahead of Museum month. After its colonial establishment in 1793\, the Town of York was incorporated on March 6\, 1834 as the City of Toronto marking its beginnings as a booming metropolis. The date isn’t the only thing changing this year. Traditionally\, our fundraiser has taken place at St. Lawrence Hall but due to construction setbacks\, our event will now be hosted at Campbell House Museum. Due to the smaller venue capacity\, we will be offering two different ticket types\, an in-person and virtual option\, to allow for all guests to participate. Virtual guests will have access to the keynote speaker’s presentation and the silent auction. \nThe Society will mark this anniversary by diving into the captivating history of beer and the temperance movement in the Town of York and the City of Toronto\, emphasizing the changes that both sides brought to the City. The Town of York Historical Society is happy to announce our special guest and keynote speaker\, beer expert and author\, Jordan St. John\, who will provide an insightful presentation on this relevant theme.  Following the success of our 2024 fundraiser\, the Society is excited to welcome our members and guests to Campbell House Museum to celebrate this intriguing topic. We also welcome the return of the Old Town Silent Auction\, featuring donated items and experiences from neighbourhood businesses\, which will take place virtually this year\, and local craft brewers who will be on-site for the event. \nMore information on registration and ticket sales regarding Toronto’s 191st Birthday is available at AnnualFundraiserBannedandBrewed.eventbrite.ca or email info@tos1stpo.com for assistance. If you wish to join in person please do not delay as these tickets will be strictly limited and are first come first serve. We can’t wait to have you join us for this special celebration!

SUMMARY:Peter Robinson Irish Emigration Bicentennial Presentation
DESCRIPTION:A presentation about the Nine Ships 1825 – Peter Robinson Irish Emigration Bicentennial will take place at the Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society meeting on Friday April 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Millbrook Legion at 9 King Street East\, Millbrook\, Ontario. The public is welcome to attend. \nThe Peter Robinson Emigration of 1825 was a landmark initiative that brought over 2\,000 Irish men\, women\, and children to Canada to “the place at the end of the rapids” which the local First Nations at that time called Nogojiwanong. This laid the foundation for what would later be called Peterborough. This unique government experiment was aimed at testing the viability of British emigration policy by covering all expenses for settlers for 18 months. Each family’s journey and experiences were meticulously documented\, providing a rich archival resource. \nTo mark the Bicentennial\, the not-for-profit organization called Nine Ships 1825 Inc. has been formed to honour this chapter in Canadian history. Named after the nine ships that carried the Irish emigrants across the Atlantic in 1825\, these ships were named: the Fortitude\, John Barry\, Resolution\, Regulus\, Albion\, Star\, Elizabeth\, Amity\, and the Brunswick. They embarked from Cobh\, County Cork\, and set sail towards what was then Lower and Upper Canada. \nCultural resource manager and historian Dennis Carter-Edwards will speak to the significance of this emigration\, outline the journey and highlight the resources available to learn more. Past President of the Peterborough Canadian Irish Club\, Maureen Crowley\, and former Mayor of the Township of Selwyn\, Mary Smith\, will speak about previous commemorations of this emigration\, describe how Nine Ships 1825 was formed\, and what events all the community partners and heritage/historical groups are planning to have during 2025\, including special Bicentennial events during\nAugust 1-10\, 2025.
