SUMMARY:Hastings County Historical Society (Virtual): Sir Mackenzie Bowell: A Canadian Prime Minister Forgotten by History
DESCRIPTION:Author Barry Wilson will talk about his book on Sir Mackenzie Bowell. \nIn the 155 years since Confederation\, Canada has been led by just 23 prime ministers and 19th Century Belleville newspaper owner Mackenzie Bowell was one of them. He also became the first and one of the few prime ministers to be forced from office by disgruntled dissidents in his own Conservative party and caucus. That incident has saddled Bowell with the image of one of Canadian history’s losers when he is mentioned in history at all\, a subject for ridicule and neglect by historians but his life of accomplishment and a half century in Parliament before his 1917 death was anything but a failure. \nThe real Sir Mackenzie Bowell was much more accomplished and interesting than his portrayal\, a significant player in Canadaʼs early years and a stalwart in successive John A. Macdonald governments. \nBarry Wilson enjoyed a 44-year career in Canadian journalism\, writing for newspapers in New Brunswick\, Ontario and Saskatchewan before spending 34 years in the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery covering agricultural issues in Canada and around the world for the Saskatoon based Western Producer newspaper. He is a member of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame. \nRegister in advance for this free webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5BMeqLIARmGMhLfQk6lyNQ\nOr call (613) 968-6731 x 2037

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Massey Hall by David McPherson
DESCRIPTION:Massey Hall :  Listen to the fascinating story of Canada’s most revered concert hall and the myriad artists who have graced its stage. \nKnown for its intimacy and sense of occasion\, a night at Toronto’s Massey Hall is magical for both audiences and performers. For many musicians\, playing the hall is the surest sign that they have made it. Looking out over the crowd\, performers often comment that they feel they have joined history as they stand on the stage where Sarah Vaughan\, Miles Davis\, Bob Dylan\, and so many other legends have stood. \nAuthor David McPherson is a Waterloo\, Ontario-based author\, freelance writer\, and communications consultant. Ever since attending his first rock concert in 1989 (The Who) and buying his first LP (Freeze Frame by The J. Geils Band)\, music has become “the elixir of his life.” With more than 18\,000 songs on my iPod\, and an ever-growing vintage vinyl collection\, it’s a joy to discover new music; he loves sharing these discoveries with his wife and two children. \nAfter watching his first show [The Old 97s] at the Horseshoe Tavern more than twenty years ago\, he was in love with this iconic venue. David’s first book: The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern: A Complete History was published in 2017 by Dundurn Press. His latest book – Massey Hall – was published in November 2021. \nFor more info on David McPherson visit http://davidmcpherson.ca/. \nNote: you must be on the RHS mailing list to receive the Zoom link.\nIf you are not on our mail list send us a note via the ‘Contact Us’ page (link here)

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society (Virtual): Exhibit Opening: Old Faces
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening Reception – Old Faces by Dan Philips \nThe Town of York Historical Society presents “Old Faces”\, an art exhibit by Dan Philips. The exhibit will run from February 17th to April 26th 2022. \nArtist Statement \nThis series of pieces came about as I tried to come to terms with the City of Toronto changing all around me\, all of the time. Recent city developments made me realize that this city has always been changing. So these pieces are meant to show some of the old faces of buildings that were\, and some of the people that lived and worked in them\, not all that long ago. \nJoin us on Zoom for the online opening of this exhibit\, on February 17th\, 2022\, at 7 PM. The event is free\, but registration is required.
