SUMMARY:Halton Black History Awareness Society Emancipation Flag-Raising
DESCRIPTION:Your participation in this year’s ceremony recognizes everyone’s freedom as we are one. Yes\, we’ve suffered similar inhumanities such as our Ukraine cousins are experiencing today. It’s time to acknowledge\, appreciate\, articulate\, and activate that we do best when we work together with authenticity. \nWhat this means is implementing equality legislation\, educating our teachers to become educators\, stopping racism\, marginalization\, stereotyping\, and hate whenever and wherever it raises it’s divisive head. Our ancestors all fought for their respective ancestry and Our inhumanity. \nThe Halton Black History Awareness Society (HBHAS) is honoured to be hosting a 2022 Halton Freedom Festival\, Emancipation Pan African Flag-Raising Ceremony celebrating the 1834 British Emancipation Act which freed all colonial slaves\, initiated by Ontario’s First Lieutenant Governor\, John Graves Simcoe through the Anti-Slavery Act of 1793. It is appreciated that multi-cultures helped transport many of the “freed” slaves to Canada both through the Underground Railroad and throughout the North American continent. The Pan African flag is representative of all blacks of African Ancestry. \nThe HBHAS is appreciative of being recognized as the first city in the world to acclaim August as Emancipation month. This acclamation took place at our 2018 Halton Freedom Celebration Festival and was acknowledged at a Dr. Julius Garvey presentation in tribute to his father on Marcus Garvey Day\, at Toronto’s City Hall (2019). The City of Burlington further proclaimed\, at the HBHAS flag-raising ceremony in 2021\, recognizing August 31st the International Day for People of African Descent in alignment to the UN General Assembly 2020 resolution sponsored by 52 countries\, and a proclamation recognizing August 1st as the first Canadian National Emancipation Day. \nOur 2022 Proclamation Flag Raising Ceremony will take place on Friday\, July 22 nd from 12 noon to 1 p.m. at the Burlington\, City Hall and will recognize the start of the 2022 Halton Freedom Festival which includes our 5 th Annual Emancipation Art Exhibition (July 27 – September 6\, 2022) at Helson Gallery in Georgetown; and our 2022 Halton Freedom Celebration Festival\, taking place at Spencer Smith Park on July 30. Please find Artists and Musician/Event schedule at www.hbhas.ca. \nOur flag raising will incorporate a number of speakers\, Federal/Provincial and Municipal and Community Leaders welcoming the celebration of everyone’s freedom\, still in process.

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Janie Cooper-Wilson\, "How Do You Want Your Ancestors to be Remembered?"
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs\, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic\, including our series of talks. We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022\, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs\, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month\, April to November\, at 7:00 pm. \nThe Museum being no longer available as a host site\, and with the continuing threat of COVID\, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs\, so we have made this a subscription series\, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nJanie Cooper-Wilson of Wasaga Beach was inducted as one of Canada’s 100 Accomplished Black Women in 2018. Her life-long passion for researching and documenting Black history is a crucial part of the collective history of Ontario. A director on the Ontario Historical Society Board\, she serves as OHS field representative for Simcoe County and researcher/co-chair of the OHS Cemetery Preservation & Defence Committee. Did you know there are approximately 1\,500 known inactive\, unapproved\, and unregistered burial grounds located across Ontario — all with little protection for their future? \nJanie discusses her work over the last two years to investigate\, research\, and defend three Underground Railroad Burial Grounds in Haldimand County\, south of Cayuga\, Ontario. One is the resting place of a niece of Harriet Tubman. One is located on private land where many tombstones have been removed. Another has already been ploughed under. All three sites fall within the same official category yet all three pose uniquely different issues. She will share some little-known facts involved in the Cemetery Act and the complex challenges being encountered as she works to preserve the sites and the crucial archival information about the Black pioneers contained within them. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

SUMMARY:Culinary Historians of Canada: Ceramics for the Canadian Table
DESCRIPTION:Learn about depictions of Canada featured in ceramic tableware in this lecture and tour with Sequoia Miller\, Chief Curator at the Gardiner \n\nA collection of ceramic tableware on view in Toronto’s Gardiner Museum depicts idealized scenes of nineteenth-century Canadian life. Manufactured in England\, these objects and others like them participated in the colonial project by imagining and asserting both national and colonial identities. In this lecture and gallery tour\, Sequoia Miller\, Chief Curator at the Gardiner\, will discuss how seemingly decorative objects engage complex questions around colonialism\, political economy\, and cultural authority. Dr. Miller will also consider the role of museums in offering new and critical interpretive strategies for thinking through problematic historical objects. \nTickets for this event are pay-what-you-may. We encourage you to donate whatever amount you feel comfortable giving for this event. Similar past events have had a ticket value of $15-$20. \nDepending on the state of the pandemic cases at the time\, masks may be mandatory for attendees. We strongly encourage attendees to wear a mask at all CHC events. \n\n\nAbout Sequoia Miller: \nSequoia Miller is a historian\, curator\, and studio potter. He is the Chief Curator at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art\, Toronto. Miller holds a PhD in the History of Art from Yale University; an MA from the Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts\, Design History\, and Material Culture; and a BA in Russian from Brandeis University. Recent curatorial projects include RAW and Ai Weiwei: Unbroken at the Gardiner and The Ceramic Presence in Modern Art at the Yale University Art Gallery. Before re-entering academia\, Miller was a full-time studio potter based in the Pacific Northwest.

SUMMARY:Community Heritage Ontario: Ontario Heritage Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Elizabethtown- Kitley invites you to join us for the Ontario Heritage Conference in 2022. We are excited about the return of this event and the chance to network and learn in the beautiful Leeds and Grenville County. \nNestled between the St. Lawrence River and the Rideau Canal\, the region is robust in United Empire Loyalist and Early Irish Settlement history. Elizabethtown township opened for settlement in 1784. Brockville\, originally named Buell’s Bay\, was renamed after Sir Isaac Brock in 1812. Though surveyed in 1797\, the Kitley area settlements came later with a large immigration from Ireland beginning in 1820. Immerse yourself in excellent architecture\, historic forts\, rural countryside backroads\, and the many attractions that await. \nSpeaker sessions\, plenaries\, and tours will inspire Municipal Heritage Committee members and Heritage Professionals. Get up to date on policy\, trends\, and ideas. To spotlight the region’s iconic heritage\, OHC 2022’s theme\, The Light at the End of the Tunnel will focus on the economic impact of Pandemic times\, the future of heritage conservation\, tourism\, and the positive changes of heritage locally and provincially. \nPlanning a conference in a Pandemic has its challenges. The local organizing committee is meeting regularly and seeking out the best venues and events Brockville and the area have to showcase. We hope to have more details for you in the coming months. Stay tuned! \nTracy Gayda\,\nChair\, Local Organizing Committee

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: John Boyko\, "The Devil’s Trick: How Canada Fought the Vietnam War"
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs\, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic\, including our series of talks. We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022\, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs\, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month\, April to November\, at 7:00 pm. \nThe Museum being no longer available as a host site\, and with the continuing threat of COVID\, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs\, so we have made this a subscription series\, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nIt is Barry’s distinct pleasure to introduce John Boyko\, a much-admired author\, educator\, historian\, and director of summer programs at Lakefield College. Boyko may be familiar to TVO viewers as a result of guest appearances on “The Agenda\,” hosted by Steve Paiken. Possibly by now you have read at least one of his many highly praised books. The Globe and Mail has labelled this brilliant nationally-known writer “a distinguished scholar of Canadian political history.” \nMore than a skillful writer\, the much-lauded historian has a wide range of interests. Among our Barry’s personal collection of books\, he notes Boyko’s always engrossing approach to vastly different subjects\, citing as examples his biography on Sir John A. Macdonald and his national bestseller Blood and Daring: How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation. A marvellous communicator\, John Boyko’s very inclusive presentation will introduce us to Canada’s little-known role in the Vietnam War. Through the stories of six fascinating Canadians\, he explores the many ways in which Canada was involved in and changed by that tragic period in our history. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November
