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. For more information\, check out the event website at 1784.ca.

SUMMARY:Oakville Historical Society Speakers Night: Cameos\, did you know?
DESCRIPTION:Where: Coach House \nThe Coach House is located next door to the Oakville Historical Society office. The address is 114 King Street. Entrance is through the park side sliding doors. \nTopic: Cameos\, did you know? \nWhen: Monday\, May 27th\, at 07:30 pm \nWhat: Marie Descent will be talking about Cameos \nMarie\, a pharmacist by profession\, has always had a keen interest in gemstones. After taking several gemmology courses\, she developed a deep appreciation for antique jewellery\, fell into its rabbit hole\, and ultimately\, discovered the side tunnel of cameos. \nCameos have been around for thousands of years and there is a lot more than meets the eye when looking at them\, from the different materials from which they are crafted\, through their uses and the diverse subject matter they depict\, to how styles have evolved over the years. In short\, they are more than grandma’s old brooch. \nWhile reading and studying everything that she could about these miniature works of art\, Marie has become a passionate cameo enthusiast and collector. If you ask her how many she has\, she’ll sheepishly reply: “not enough”. \nWhile she doesn’t call herself an expert\, Marie has acquired much knowledge on cameos and is happy to share this with you. \nSo\, let Marie entertain you with things you might not have known about the world of cameos. You may say\, “Well\, I didn’t know that”!

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society - May 1 Meeting BRICK by BRICK: Swansea Public School\, 1890-2020
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us for the next monthly meeting of the Swansea Historical Society\, scheduled for 7:30 pm\, Wednesday\, May 1\, 2024.  The meeting will be held in the Rousseau Room of the Swansea Town Hall.  \n\n \n\nIn our final meeting before we break for the summer\, the Swansea Historical Society welcomes speaker Chris Higgins.   In seventeen years as a teacher at Swansea Public School\, Chris curated the school archives as a hobby. Upon his retirement in 2020\, he decided to leave a record behind.  Adding files from the City of Toronto Archives\, Toronto Star\, and Globe and Mail\, as well as input from the community and rare documents\, Chris’s book\, BRICK by BRICK: Swansea Public School\, 1890-2020\, was the result and it forms the topic of our May 1 meeting.\n\n\nBrick by Brick adds important chapters to the story of Toronto.  Students of Swansea Public School were residents of a suburban village before the Village of Swansea was absorbed by Canada’s largest urban centre in 1967.   The school had been built in a prime spot in 1890\, where it remains a perfect place to learn and play.  Over time\, the school has faced its share of challenges\, including wars\, and pandemics\, and 130-odd years of growth and change. \nIn addition to Brick by Brick\, Chris has also published Riverstoryz: Conversations on the Humber and he is currently working on a third book\, one that marries his love of history and true crime\, entitled Hanging on Every Word: Toronto in the Age of Execution. \n\n \nThe meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format so that participants can attend in-person at the Swansea Town Hall or connect on-line using the Zoom tool.  Here (and on the SHS website) is the link for joining the meeting on-line.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHS – May Meeting\n\n\nTime: May 1\, 2024 07:15 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89216911799?pwd=ZWy3pXxxkHi60B3t4XzZy3QTKWlLBg.1\n\nMeeting ID: 892 1691 1799\nPasscode: 333003\n\n\n\nThe Zoom connection will be open by 7:15 pm on May 1.  If possible\, we suggest that on-line participants start tuning in as soon as the link is open\, so that we can be ready to kick off the meeting at 7:30 pm sharp.\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome!!

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Finnish Canadian Historical Society commemorates 50 year anniversary
DESCRIPTION:The Thunder Bay Finnish Canadian Historical Society (TBFCHS) is pleased to announce the “From the Ashes of the Old: The History\, Loss\, and Memory of the Finnish Labour Temple” event\, taking place on Saturday April 27\, 2024 at the Thunder Bay Museum on 425 Donald Street East at 2 PM\, free and open to the public. This event will serve as the 50th anniversary commemoration of the TBFCHS\, a not-for-profit member-supported organization founded in 1974. \nThis milestone offers an opportunity for reflection on the Finnish Labour Temple\, an important cultural landmark tragically lost in a fire on December 22\, 2021. TBFCHS members Saku Pinta\, Jorma Halonen\, Kathy Toivonen\, and Sara Janes will deliver presentations on topics related to the history\, loss\, and memory of the Finnish Labour Temple. Also\, the materials recovered from the time capsule – buried in the cornerstone of the building for nearly 113 years – will be on public display for the first time. The event will be followed by the TBFCHS annual general meeting. \n“The Society has been a unique undertaking right from the start\,” observes TBFCHS President Saku Pinta. “Our founding members represented the local Finnish community in nearly all of its diversity\, no small task given the political and religious differences which have often proved divisive over the years.” Pinta notes that this “unity in diversity” in service of historical inquiry has been a source of strength and helps to explain the longevity of the TBFCHS. “As a member-supported organization\, we have served as the leading voice of Finnish Canadian history in the region for 50 years through the efforts of the community itself\, telling our own stories and preserving our own history.” \nSince 1974\, the TBFCHS has made multiple outstanding and pioneering contributions to the preservation and interpretation of the history of Finnish Canadians in northwestern Ontario. Beyond individual achievements\, this includes but is not limited to: \n– the publication of four books\, the most recent\, A Century of Sport in the Finnish Community of Thunder Bay (co-published with The Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame)\, won the Communication and Best in Show awards from the International Sports Heritage Association in 2014\n– numerous public presentations\, notably a series of historical panels that were on display in the Hoito Restaurant for many years\n– the compiling of an archive – housed in the Lakehead University Archives – of thousands of historical documents\, photographs\, and oral histories of various Finnish organizations\, individuals\, and activities in Thunder Bay and the surrounding region\n– organizing the “Increasing Access to Finnish Language Archives” project in 2018-2019\, with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Documentary Heritage Communities Program\, which digitized and translated key historical documents from Finnish to the English-language for the first time\n– contributing to the recovery of the Finnish Labour Temple time capsule in April 2022\, thanks to the work of the late Marc Metsäranta.
