SUMMARY:North York Historical Society presents Adam Bunch\, The Toronto Book of Love
DESCRIPTION:The North York Historical Society is excited to have renowned author Adam Bunch present The Toronto Book of Love\, that shares fascinating true tales of romance\, marriage\, and lust: From the scandalous love affairs of the city’s early settlers to the prime minister’s wife partying with rock stars on her anniversary; from First Nations marriage ceremonies to a pastor wearing a bulletproof vest to perform one of Canada’s first same-sex weddings. Home to adulterous movie stars\, faithful rebels\, and heartbroken spies\, Toronto has been shaped by crushes\, jealousies\, and flirtations. \nThe Toronto Book of Love explores the evolution of the city from a remote colonial outpost to a major modern metropolis through the stories of those who have fallen in love among its ravines\, church spires\, and skyscrapers. \n  \nAdam has an “unmatched flair for storytelling” (Toronto Star) as “No one does Toronto history quite like Adam Bunch” (Open Book) \n  \nHow better to celebrate the month of love?

SUMMARY:The Historical Society of Ottawa Speaker Series: OTTAWA'S SHORELINE... BUILT FROM GARBAGE?
DESCRIPTION:Running out of landfill space? Why not dump it in the river! The 1950s and 1960s was an era of all-important progress and little concern for “environmental assessments”. Learn about the decision-making process that led to much of the Ottawa River shoreline from Mechanicsville through LeBreton Flats being built from our garbage. \nLearn about this story and more as Dave Allston takes a look back at some of the major alterations to Ottawa’s landscape in the years following Jacques Greber’s sweeping recommendations.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum Online Lecture: An Evening with Stephen R. Bown
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, January 18 for an evening with award-winning author Stephen R. Bown as he discusses his latest book Dominion: The Railway and the Rise of Canada\, which tells the gripping and eye-opening account of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and how it enabled the nation of Canada. \nWith over 3\,000 kilometers of track\, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain\, the CPR would be the longest railway in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era and a catalyst for powerful global forces. \nIn recent years Canadian history has been given a rude awakening from the comforts of its myths. In Dominion\, Stephen Bown again widens our view of the past to include the adventures and hardships of explorers and surveyors\, the resistance of Indigenous peoples\, and the terrific and horrific work of many thousands of labourers. His vivid portrayal of the powerful forces that were molding the world in the late 19th century provides a revelatory new picture of modern Canada’s creation as an independent state.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum Online Lecture: Halifax Explosion and the Role of Railways
DESCRIPTION:On December 6th\, 1917 the SS Mont-Blanc collided with the SS Imo in the harbour of Halifax\, Nova Scotia. What resulted was a devastating explosion that caused many deaths\, many more casualties\, and the destruction of Halifax itself. \nThis explosion is still regarded as one of the largest human-engineered explosions on record and is an unforgettable part of 20th century Canadian history. Responding to the disaster was a collective effort that included the railways in northeastern Canada and the US. Join us and Roger Sarty on December 14 for the final online lecture in our 2023 series. Free! Registration required.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Annual Fall Author Series 2023: Ian Radforth
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 7th for the final evening presentation of our Annual Fall Author’s Series! \nDr. Ian Radforth will present on his publication “Jeannie’s Demise: Abortion on Trial in Victorian Toronto ” as he unveils the results of his detailed investigation of a backstreet abortion that occurred on the streets of Toronto in 1875 and its tragic consequences while exploring the story about how one woman navigated politics in Victorian Toronto\, when abortion was illegal. \nIan Radforth’s “Jeannie’s Demise” uncovers a real-life Victorian melodrama that played out in the bustling streets and courtrooms of “Toronto the Good\,” cast with all the lurid stock characters of the genre. Historian Ian Radforth brings to life an era in which abortion was illegal\, criminal proceedings were a spectator sport\, and coded advertisements for back-alley procedures ran in the margins of newspapers. Part gripping procedural\, part meticulous autopsy\, “Jeannie’s Demise” opens a rare window into the hidden history of a woman’s right to choose. \nAbout the Author:\nIan Radforth is a Canadian social historian who has taught for more than three decades in the department of history at the University of Toronto with a focus on labour and immigration history. He is the author of many historical works such as “Bushworkers and Bosses: Logging in Northern Ontario\, 1900-1980” and “Royal Spectacle: The 1860 Visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada and the United States.” Radforth has also served as the representative of the history department’s Ethnic\, Immigration\, and Pluralism Studies Program Committee.
