2026 Toronto History Lecture: A Grocery Store, a Library, and the Struggle for Space: ﻿Black Community-Building in Toronto, 1920s–1960
2026-08-04 19:30 | online
The 15th annual Toronto History Lecture will be held online via Zoom on Tuesday, August 4, at 7:30 pm EDT. We hope you will join us!
The event is free to attend, but you must register. (It will be recorded, so if your schedule or time zone doesn’t accommodate 7:30, you can time-shift.)
This year’s Toronto History Lecture tells the story of the Home Service Association, a Black community organization in Toronto whose roots trace back to 1918, emerging from wartime efforts to support Black servicemen. The organization relocated multiple times across the city after its early building was condemned, continually adapting its programs to meet community needs. By the mid-twentieth century, it operated from Bathurst Street as a vibrant community hub, offering cultural programming, a cooperative grocery store, and a library.
This little-known history offers a compelling, human-scale account of how communities in Toronto built spaces of belonging, support, and collective life.
Our 2026 speaker, the dynamic Dr. Melanie Knight, is Professor of Sociology and Black Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. Her research examines Black community organizing, social movements, and histories of collective life in Canada, with a focus on archives and under-documented histories.
The Toronto History Lecture is free to attend but please register in advance for your Zoom link.

Nine Ships 1825 Bicentennial Reflections Book Launch
2026-08-10 10:00 | Trent Valley Archives, 567 Carnegie Ave., Peterborough, ON, K9L 1N1, Canada
The exciting news is that the Bicentennial Reflections books have arrived and it is almost time for the big reveal! Bicentennial Reflections is a new book produced by Nine Ships 1825 and is inspired by the Peter Robinson Bicentennial Commemoration in 2025.
The public is invited to attend the Launch of this Bicentennial Reflections book on Monday, August 10th at 10:00 am at the Trent Valley Archives, 567 Carnegie Avenue, Peterborough.
“A central part of the book are the voices of the Bicentennial Community Partners, reflecting how their knowledge about the history of their community increased during the bicentennial year. These reflections—personal, thoughtful, and rooted in lived experience—form an essential part of the book.” states Editor Elwood Jones.
In the book, you’ll read 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. The book also contains 80 photographs of events that took place in Canada and Ireland and some of the remarks made by dignitaries at these events.
“This attractive Bicentennial Reflections book has truly been a team effort and will be a part of the legacy that Nine Ships 1825 is able to leave to the community and to future generations.” states Chair Brendan Moher.
Nine Ships 1825 is grateful to generous sponsors Paschal and Sylvia McCloskey, Gary and Joanne Reamey, the Federal Government of Canada and the other wonderful financial supporters who made this book possible.
After the launch, the Bicentennial Reflections book will be available online at https://trentvalleyarchives.com/ or at the Trent Valley Archives bookstore at 567 Carnegie Avenue, Peterborough.

Culinary Historians of Canada: Plenty More - After the War (August webinar)
2026-08-17 19:30 - 21:00 | online
Scarcity remains in the memory of those who lived during the World War II era. Sugar was a staple that was rationed by government proclamation from 1942 to 1947. It was a key ingredient in preserves, baked items, and favourite family dishes. Advertising of sugar during this period used messaging that reflected the societal values derived from the war effort and optimism for better times ahead.
Historian Brandi Adams will join us over Zoom for a webinar taking us back to the World War II era and exploring the parallels between mandated food rationing and messaging in sugar advertising.
Tickets available through Eventbrite

D’abord, une présentation PowerPoint à l’Alliance française vous dévoilera l’histoire du brutalisme, et vous donnera quelques exemples des bâtiments représentatifs, à Toronto et ailleurs.
Ensuite, et avec cette introduction, notre guide nous promènera sur la rue Bloor ouest pour regarder de vrais exemples des bâtiments issus de ce mouvement architectural, vous permettant de les voir en personne, de les apprécier de plus près, et de poser vos questions pour en apprendre encore plus sur le sujet.
Qui sait? A la fin, peut-être on vous comptera parmi les plus grands admirateurs du brutalisme, le tout grâce à la Société d’histoire de Toronto.
Venez donc en grand nombre.
Les réservations ne sont pas nécessaires, visite gratuite, la SHT passe le chapeau à la fin de la visite.

La Société d'histoire de Toronto: HISTORITOUR - Music Garden
2026-08-25 18:30 | Lower Spadina and Queens Quay, 437 Queens Quay West, Toronto, ON, M5V 3T1, Canada
DÉPART à 18h30 au pied de Lower Spadina avec Queens Quay
ARRIVÉE : environ 500 mètres plus loin
GUIDES : Susan Spier et Rolande Smith et Jordan Ferria
Lignes droites interdites dans sa construction, le Music Garden est courbes et mélodies. Inauguré il y a déjà 27 ans le 10 juin 1999 avec une représentation de Yo-Yo Ma, ce jardin est un havre de paix au bord du lac pour tous Torontois et visiteurs. Il doit sa création à l’inspiration de la première suite pour violoncelle de Johann Sebastian Bach.
Nous exposerons la création de ce jardin et présenterons l’histoire des six suites de Bach et de la vie musicale de Monsieur Ma qui a commencé à les apprendre dès l’âge de quatre ans ! Il a collaboré avec la paysagiste Julie Moir Messervy pour unir la musique avec les plantes afin de créer ce beau jardin sans parallèle. Sans oublier de parler des arbres et de leur essence.
Historitours 2026 – pas nécessaire de réserver. La SHT passe le chapeau à la fin de la visite, merci. Pas de chien.
*reprise de la visite proposée en juillet mais annulée à cause de l’air ‘enfumé’ de Toronto.
