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:Conférence de la Société d’histoire de Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Conférence de la Société d’histoire de Toronto  \nLe jeudi 27 janvier 2022 à 19 h – EN LIGNE \n  \nARMOIRIES\, EMBLÈMES\, BLASONS… \nL’HÉRALDIQUE AU SERVICE DE L’HISTOIRE \nET DU PATRIMOINE FAMILIAL \n  \nConférencier : Samy Khalid\, Héraut d’armes du Canada et directeur de l’Autorité héraldique du Canada \n  \nLes armoiries\, drapeaux\, insignes sont des emblèmes riches en couleurs et en histoire. Parallèlement aux traditions emblématiques millénaires des Premiers Peuples\, le système héraldique\, apparu au Moyen-Âge en Europe de l’Ouest\, s’est épanoui en Amérique du Nord au cours des quatre derniers siècles. Avec ses règles\, son langage et son esthétisme particuliers\, cette science n’a cessé de piquer la curiosité en même temps qu’elle a permis d’ajouter du cachet aux façades de nos institutions nationales et à nos arbres généalogiques. \n  \nSamy Khalid évoquera le travail de héraut d’armes moderne et rappellera l’histoire de ces emblèmes ainsi que leur raison d’être pour les familles d’aujourd’hui. Joignez-vous à nous pour en apprendre davantage sur la discipline méconnue de l’héraldique! \n  \nPour y assister\, réservez vos billets gratuits à : \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/billets-lheraldique-au-service-de-lhistoire-et-du-patrimoine-familial-244856932677 \nLe lien Zoom vous sera envoyé par Eventbrite quelques heures avant l’événement.  \n  \nContact pour les médias : info@sht.ca

SUMMARY:East York Historical Society (Virtual): Celebrating Black History Canada
DESCRIPTION:OPENING SPEAKER: SHEILA WHITE\, Musical Director\nTopic: “My Mother’s Letters” \nToronto-born Sheila White received an environmental Urban Hero Award in 2020\, a federal Canada 150 medal in 2017 recognizing her voluntarism\, and in 2014 was the African Canadian Achievement Award winner in the Politics category for her roles as a candidate and former political adviser\, including to Mayor Mel Lastman for 13 years in North York. \nA writer\, Sheila is working on a book about her parents’ interracial marriage in Toronto in 1947. Sheila was curator of two historical exhibits\, one focused on Portia White\, her famous\, concert-singing aunt\, a collection now housed on loan at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia\, and the other a rare collection of memorabilia from the First World War to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the war’s end. \nSheila is Music Director at Don Heights Unitarian Congregation as well as one of its Lay Chaplains. She leads Don Heights Singers\, a weekly\, Zoom\, open community choir on Thursdays at 4 pm. Sheila can be reached at Sheila@donheights.ca. \nMAIN SPEAKER: VALERIE JEROME\, Educator and Olympic Champion\nTopic: “RUNNING AWAY FROM RACISIM” \nValerie Jerome was born in St Boniface\, Manitoba in 1944 where she lived until her family moved to North Vancouver in 1951. She graduated from North Vancouver Sr High in 1962 and began teaching in the Vancouver school system in 1964\, the same year she married. Valerie’s Bachelors of Education was completed over many years of night classes and summer school because at that time a teaching certificate could be attained after only 2 years of study. \nValerie engaged her students in many public issues that touched their lives. One such example was while at Southlands school she had her students present individual briefs at the hearings to preserve the UEL. When these lands became Pacific Spirit Park\, they learned that their voices could help shape public policy. Valerie retired from her much loved teaching career in 2001. \nDuring her retirement years\, Valerie became active in Green politics as her son\, Stuart Parker\, had become leader of the BC Green Party. She ran in seven elections – civic\, provincial and federal between 1988 and 2000 when environmental issues were not on the radar for the vast majority of Canadians. Valerie attended International Green Congresses in Sweden and Switzerland. \nValerie Jerome has spent much of her life in the athletic arena\, initially as an athlete when at age 15 she became Canadian senior women’s champion in the sprints and long jump. Valerie competed for Canada in the Olympic\, British Commonwealth and Pan American Games. For more than 30 years Valerie was a chief official for jumping events for Canadian Athletics in hundreds of meets –big and small\, and including the Olympics\, Commonwealth Games and World Championships. \nIn her capacity as a teacher she coached athletics\, volleyball\, cross country and gymnastics as well as a community coach for junior and senior track and field athletes. \nFor 15 years Valerie had the pleasure of being a volunteer for the Vancouver Writers’ Festival. And an equally keen volunteer at Ballet BC. Valerie was a founding member of the board for Vancouver Youth Theatre\, The BC Black Educators. Many lengthy volunteer hours went into the annual BC Junior Black Achievement Awards. Valerie was a very active member of the Goh Ballet Board for more than 12 years. \nSince retiring from teaching\, she has worked through the BCTF on two English language initiatives in Namibia. Valerie Jerome presently sits on the Board of Crystal Pite’s Kidd Pivot Dance company\, and Shay Kubler’s Radical Systems Dance. She has recently become a Board member of Springboard\, an international dance program for emerging choreographers and dancers based in Montreal and New York. Recently she has been appointed to the Board of The Vancouver Opera. \nOver the last 25 years Valerie has been giving Black History Month talks in public and private elementary and secondary schools as well as at community events. She has given the address to SFU Education graduates and to Sprott Shaw college Graduates. She founded the Harry Jerome Commemorative Society which worked for four years to create the statue of her late brother on the Stanley park Seawall. \nShe has a passion for birding. In 1992\, Valerie was a recipient of a Canada 125 Award\, for work to preserve the environment. Along with a small group of Kerrisdale residents she was a recipient of a Vancouver Heritage Award for their efforts to preserve trees in this city. \nAlso while living in Kerrisdale\, Valerie and her ex husband were recipients of Kerrisdale Community Centre’s Volunteers Award. (Although not yet deceased )-The parents of former athletes and students have installed a bench with Valerie’s name on it beside the statue of her brother on the Stanley Park Seawall. At her retirement another bench bearing her name had been installed- this one on the school grounds at Sir Wilfrid Laurier School at 57th and Laurel St. And in recent years Valerie was named amongst UBC’s Faculty of Education’s 100 Distinguished Graduates. \n\nPlease email eyhs@eastyork.org for information how to join this Zoom meeting.

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Innovation in its Time: The World’s First Typewriter
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 25\, 2022 \nFeaturing the Martin Howard Collection of Antique Typewriters \nThe story of the typewriter touches everyone\, from youngsters who have never seen a typewriter and are unaware that J.K. Rowling typed the first Harry Potter book on one\, to those who will never use a computer.

Sharing his passion with others\, his array of early 19 century typewriters has been exhibited at numerous locations including the Royal Ontario Museum and featured in the award-winning documentary California Typewriter (starring Tom Hanks\, typewriter enthusiast). \nFor more on Martin Howard’s collection and services link here.
