SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): April 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“My Notorious Ancestors: The Doan Gang” — Presentation by Janet Hodgkins \nA band of brothers\, known as the Doan Gang\, became notorious in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. They robbed wealthy Patriots\, scouted for the British forces\, rescued prisoners of war from their jail cells\, stole horses to equip the British cavalry\, spied\, and generally created mayhem throughout the state and beyond. By the end of the war\, they were wanted dead or alive. Four of the six did die while two escaped to Upper Canada where they lived in peace until old age. One of the gang\, Aaron Doan\, was my 4th great-grandfather and my first Loyalist ancestor. \nJanet Hodgkins\, UE\, is proud to be descended from seven United Empire Loyalists. She belongs to the Colonel John Butler (Niagara) Branch where she is a Director and the Programme Chair. She is also the long-time president of the Wainfleet Historical Society. Janet grew up in Wainfleet Township where she and her husband\, David Fowler\, raised their two sons and where they still reside on part of her grandparents’ farm.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society (Virtual): Toronto's 188th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Toronto’s 188th birthday! \nJoin us as we gather to celebrate the 188th anniversary of Toronto’s incorporation as a city. \nFeaturing presentations by: \nDON LOUCKS! Don Loucks is an architect\, urban designer\, and cultural heritage planner\, with forty years of project experience.

As a Vancouver native\, Ross was raised with preconceived notions about the city – and largely believed them – that was until he moved to Toronto in 2005 and fell in love with the place. Ross is now one of the most fervently supportive and excited fans of Toronto and has grown his Old Toronto project from a wee little Instagram account to an all encompassing Toronto historical project that never stops loving the city. \nWith special appearances from the staff of Toronto’s First Post Office and Campbell House Museum. \nAnd featuring the famous Old Town Silent Auction! \nFor the latest on the event\, see our event page here and follow our social media channels @TOs1stPO and #Toronto188 \nBonus perk!
