SUMMARY:CONFÉRENCE - Wilfrid Laurier les Doukhobors\, les Ukrainiens\, les Français\, les Noirs
DESCRIPTION:En 1890\, le Canada compte 3 millions d’habitants. Entre 1896 et 1911\, il accueille plus de 2 millions d’immigrants et sa population augmente de près de 50 pour cent. \nComment développer une politique d’immigration pro-croissance lorsque des Canadiens-anglais « Orangistes »\, qui craignent de voir leur pays envahi par des centaines de milliers d’immigrants ne parlant pas anglais\, et des Canadiens-français catholiques « ultramontains »\, qui redoutent leur effondrement démographique\, acceptent mal cette politique ? \nParmi ces immigrants : des Doukhobors russes\, pacifistes\, des Ukrainiens et quelques Français dont le faible nombre ne satisfait pas le Québec. Quant aux Noirs\, ils sont quasiment interdits d’immigrer au Canada. \nSur scène\, Wilfrid Laurier\, en compagnie de quelques immigrants\, décrit la politique d’immigration pro-croissance. \n\nContacts smth7631@rogers.com  bodechristian52@gmail.com\n\nLien pour s’inscrire: https://www.alliance-francaise.ca/fr/art/saison-culturelle/162-wilfrid-laurier-les-doukhobors-les-ukrainiens-les-francais\n  \n

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society Annual Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tour Leaders: Patrick Okens and Lance Gleich\n\nTopic: “Could the Humber River Have Become Brûlé Lake?”\nTime: 1:30 pm \nPlease mark your calendars for the FREE annual walking tour of the Swansea Historical Society\, scheduled between 1:30 and 3:30 pm on Saturday afternoon\, June the 8th\, 2024. \nIn 1929\, a coalition of amateur sports leaders called for the creation of a grand rowing-regatta course on the lower Humber River between Bloor Street and Lake Ontario. Had it happened\, the largely natural river we experience today would have been transformed into a two-kilometre-long recreational area with significant implications for local development\, as well as the environment and future natural disasters including Hurricane Hazel. This walk will explore the story of “Brûlé Lake” by walking the length of the course. We will explore how it almost came to be\, what it could have meant\, why the effort failed\, and how the saga could be viewed as symbolic of the end of the predominance of amateur sports in favour of professional sports in Toronto. \nThe walk will be co-led by Patrick Okens\, whose career in sport has included management roles at Row Ontario\, Vancouver 2010\, and Toronto 2015. His book Blues Before Sunrise: Rowing at the University of Toronto was published in 2023. Walk co-leader Lance Gleich has a life membership in the Swansea Historical Society and has been leading its annual walks since 2014. He is currently president of Heritage York\, vice-president of DynaRail\, and secretary of Walk Toronto. \nThe walk will begin at the Rousseaux Site off the South Kingsway\, where parking is available. The starting location is on the south side of the Petro-Canada station at the foot of South Kingsway.  It is also just across the South Kingsway from the Ripley Avenue stop on the 77 Swansea bus\, and a short walk from the 501 Queen streetcar. The walk will end near the Old Mill subway station\, where paid parking is available. A more direct walk between the starting and finishing locations is possible via Bloor Street and Riverside Drive. \nMore information can be found at the Eventbrite link here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/walking-tour-could-the-humber-river-have-become-brule-lake-tickets-885330245597?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWe hope you can join us on Saturday.  All are welcome\, and there is no admission charge. \nSwansea Historical Society

SUMMARY:1784 Celebration of the 240th founding of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont\, Dundas and Glengarry
DESCRIPTION:What do Jane Fonda and the founder of the Chrysler Motor Corporation have in common? Both are descendents of Loyalist settlers who came to Canada in 1784 as refugees from the American Revolution. Both families settled in what is now Dundas County where many German Loyalists found homes.  Other Loyalist settlers took land spreading from Lancaster to the Bay of Quinte. \nThis year on June 6th\, it will be 240 years since John Johnson’s loyalist refugees from the American Revolution brought their boats ashore in a wilderness area that was to be their new homes. The settlers named their settlement New Johnstown and they spread from here to other sites along the river that were called the Royal Townships. Today these names are more familiar to us as Cornwall and the Counties of Stormont\, Dundas and Glengarry. \nOn June 7 to 9th\, step back into the past and rediscover the beginning of Cornwall and the SDG Counties when for three days Lamoureux Park will transform to what life was like when these new settlers arrived. In the park by the St. Lawrence River\, a tented village will spring up replicating New Johnstown as it was in 1784.  Visit the encampment to learn how these early settlers survived their arrival and flourished to build today’s vibrant city and counties and eventually lead to the establishment of the Province of Ontario. \nThis area of the province is steeped in history and to display that history\, many of the region’s historical and heritage groups will be presenting exhibits\, presentations and demonstrations in a large tent along Water Street. For music lovers\, concerts will be held on Friday and Saturday evenings presenting French\, Celtic and Akwesasne entertainers. The Cornwall Community Museum will be open for tours and will introduce its new exhibit on “1784”. In addition\, the United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada will be hosting their national conference in Cornwall. This celebration of our past is presented by the SDG Historical Society and is a free event open to all. \nIt’s not often that you can revisit history or see how your ancestors lived and coped\, but June 7-9th will provide that unique experience and also be a time to celebrate the 240th anniversary of Cornwall and the SDG Counties.
