Women's History Project: Voices Rising: Activism and the Modern Workplace.
2026-04-09 16:30 - 18:00 | online
The Women’s History Project is excited to invite you to our second Writing Women Into History webinar series. Our 2026 theme is: From Resistance to Redesign: Women Transforming Work
Across Canada and beyond, the movement to learn, teach, and protect women’s histories is reaching a defining moment. For generations, feminist scholars, leaders, and changemakers have shown how women’s stories — including around labour, leadership, and resistance — have been undervalued or unknown. Reclaiming these histories offers more than overdue recognition: it gives us the insight we need to redesign the future of work. By understanding where inequities come from, we can challenge them more effectively, champion fairer practices, and build systems that truly value women’s contributions.
The Women’s History Project invites you to be part of this powerful three‑part webinar series, where we confront these gaps together. You’ll hear directly from women who have researched these histories, lived them, and fought to change the conditions shaping women’s work in Canada and from women who continue to challenge the status quo and look ahead to new opportunities. —as well as from those continuing to challenge the status quo and push toward new possibilities.
This series is for anyone committed to gender justice: students, educators, researchers, labour organizers, activists, policymakers, community advocates, and emerging leaders who believe that understanding women’s history is essential to transforming our world. collective future. We must know our history to defend our future.
You can reserve for all three sessions here on Eventbrite —- or to each of the individual events below.
Session 2: Voices Rising: Activism and the Modern Workplace
April 9, 2026, 4:30pm – 6:00pm EDT
This session will examine persistent inequities across industries, women’s unpaid work, the impact of the care economy on women’s labour and barriers faced by women with diverse identities. This is a call to action for anyone committed or interested in how to buildbuilding workplaces where all women can thrive.
Session 3: Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Designing Tomorrow’s Workplaces
May 7, 2026, 4:30pm – 6:00pm EDT
This forward-looking session will explore emerging opportunities for women in evolving industries, how leaders can build equitable, inclusive futures and the lessons today’s trailblazers want to pass on. This is a conversation about possibility—and responsibility.
Why This Series Matters
Women’s histories have too often been pushed to the margins of mainstream narratives. Yet these stories—of struggle, solidarity, innovation, leadership, and courage—are essential to understanding how gender inequality has been built, resisted, and reshaped over generations.
From the early fights for maternity leave and reproductive rights, to landmark human rights cases, to decades of unpaid and under‑recognized labour, women have continually challenged Canada to confront its inequities. The push for pay equity, workplace safety, accessible childcare, and fair representation is part of a long continuum of women demanding better—for themselves, for their families, and for their communities. And while progress has been made, the work is far from finish
Founded in 2021, The Women’s History Project is committed to advancing gender equality by shining a light on women’s achievements across Canadian history. We believe that understanding the past equips women—and allies—to lead, advocate, and create meaningful change today.
We hope to see you there!

Italian Canadian Archives Project (ICAP) Presents Making of: "Separated from Santo"
2026-04-16 18:00 - 19:00 | online
Join us for a presentation by the writer of “Separated by Santo”, a graphic novel about an Italian-Canadian Internee during WWII.
Join the Italian-Canadian Archives Project (ICAP) for a conversation with author Brian Barazzuol about Separated from Santo: The true story of an Italian-Canadian Internee during the Second World War (Heritage House Books, 2025). Registered attendees will receive the event Zoom link. ICAP GMM to follow.
Please note: only registrants will be sent the zoom link for the event. Individuals wishing to watch the event separately will need to register separately.

About Separated from Santo:
A poignant and eye-opening graphic novel chronicling one Italian-Canadian family’s traumatic separation when their loving father and husband is interned as an “enemy alien” during the Second World War.
In 1933, disturbed by the rise of Mussolini’s fascist regime, Santo and Alice Pasqualini left their native Italy and settled in Vancouver, Canada, to create a new life far away from the burgeoning madness of Europe. The couple opened a bakery and became naturalized residents of their new country, avoiding politics and concentrating on working hard and building a family.
Unfortunately, their refuge was short-lived, when Santo was arrested for being an “enemy alien” and interned first in Kananaskis, Alberta, and then in Petawawa, Ontario. Italian Canadians, similar to Japanese and German Canadians were considered a threat to the country and therefore, these individuals, mostly male, were imprisoned with no release date determined. Santo, a hardworking man who loved his family, lost his bakery, delivery truck, and house. Meanwhile, his wife and children struggled to get by, as he was interned for twenty-four months, with little to no communication between him and his family. Alice suffered a nervous breakdown due to the stress of the situation and was hospitalized, resulting in their two children being sent off to live with two separate families for nearly two years.
Told in dynamic graphic novel form, Separated from Santo depicts an individual who was mistreated, who persevered, and eventually was reunited with his family. Instead of being bitter towards adopted country, the family accepted the situation for what it was, and was thankful to build a home in such a great country. Decades later, apologies from the Canadian government acknowledged the injustice, though the incident reverberated through generations. Written by the great-grandson of Santo and Alice, this poignant and powerful story is a reminder to see the humanity behind every so-called “enemy.”

Culinary Historians of Canada - Explore menus with Nathalie Cooke

What’s on the Menu?
Tastes, Traditions and Tantalizing Questions
Explore Menus with Nathalie Cooke
Join us for an appetizing exploration of why menus matter and the stories they tell us today. We will come to menus belatedly, after the dishes have been washed up, so to speak. So in her exploration of ways that menus matter, in this talk and in her book Tastes and Traditions (2025), Nathalie keeps at least two audiences in mind: diners of the menus’ moment and we who look at menus from distances spanning years, even continents and linguistic divides. In this discussion for the Culinary Historians of Canada, Nathalie will offer some menus that befuddle and delight, and also ask us to scrutinize the menu from The Canadian Pavilion at Expo ’67, challenging us to consider what it told diners in 1967 about Canadian cuisine.

La Société d'histoire de Toronto - Jane's Walk "FLÂNERIE SUR LE FAÇADISME avec le LABO"
2026-05-02 10:00 - 11:00
Le Labo et la Société d’Histoire de Toronto (SHT) s’associent pour la première fois dans le cadre du festival Jane’sWalk 2026. Le samedi 2 mai, Dyana Ouvrard et Rolande Smith guideront une flânerie urbaine intitulée « Façadisme: compromis honnête ou décor superficiel ? ». Ce parcours d’une heure dans le Fashion District invite à une réflexion critique sur la préservation du patrimoine à Toronto, l’impact de la loi Bill 23 et les enjeux de durabilité.

Le « façadisme », pratique consistant à conserver uniquement la façade d’un bâtiment historique tout en construisant du neufderrière, est devenu la norme dans plusieurs quartiers torontois. Est-ce une victoire pour la conservation ou un geste esthétique vide ? En marchant « le nez en l’air », les participant·e·s décoderont les indices architecturaux de la ville, des tours « jack-in-the-box » aux réutilisations adaptatives réussies. Animée en français, cette marche favorise le dialogue entre voisin·e·s sur l’avenir de nos quartiers, dans l’esprit de Jane Jacobs.

Samedi 2 mai 2026 : 10h00 – 11h00
Rendez-vous : 401 Richmond Ouest (coin Queen/Spadina), Toronto
Langue : Français
Inscriptions : Via le site de Jane’s Walk Festival Toronto (https://www.janeswalkfestivalto.com/) ou sur place (places limitées)

Ce projet est réalisé dans le cadre du festival Jane’s Walk Toronto, un événement communautaire gratuit célébrant la pensée urbaine et l’engagement citoyene.

Kensington Market Historical Society - Feisty Women of Kensington Market – Part One
2026-05-02 14:00 | Lillian H. Smith Library, 239 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Kensington Market Historical Society, in collaboration with Toronto Public Library and the Canadian Studies Program at University College, U of T, presents: Feisty Women of Kensington Market – Part One
An Anarchist Queen and Her Radiant Protégé: Emma Goldman & Marie Tiboldo in Interwar Toronto
Saturday, May 2, 2026, 2:00 pm (doors open 1:45)
Lillian H. Smith Library, 239 College Street at Huron
This talk draws on our ongoing research into Emma Goldman’s (1869-1940) interwar Toronto exile as a case study for investigating how she has been remembered inter-generationally in the city’s official and popular memory. A wide range of people have invoked Goldman in various ways – from the anarchist comrades who long outlived her to second-wave feminists, cultural producers, and punk music youth associated with Kensington Market’s anarchist space, Who’s Emma? (1996-2001). But Goldman’s fame has often obscured the lives of her lesser-known comrades, especially the women.
We focus on Goldman’s encounter with Marie Tiboldo (1904-2008), a long-lived Italian Canadian anarchist garment worker largely unknown even to Goldman Specialists, and ask about her role in the work of creating a memory of Goldman for subsequent generations to inherit.
