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:Toronto Railway Museum (Virtual): Dining on the Train
DESCRIPTION:On January 20\, join the Toronto Railway Museum and James D. Porterfield at the table for an online lecture about railway dining. James will explore how feeding railway passengers evolved from road-kill (!) into five-star dining experiences.

In this presentation\, a talk with slides and selected items to display\, Jim Porterfield\, author of DINING BY RAIL: The History and Recipes of America’s Golden Age of Railroad Cuisine\, offers an informative and humorous account of how that practice developed over time. The online lecture  will be accompanied by a description of menu items selected at random by guests\, discussion of five items you likely have in your kitchen that originated in a dining car\, and a Q&A session. An extensive bibliography of books and related items devoted to rail dining\, plus two free recipes\, will be made available to lecture attendees.

SUMMARY:Peterborough Historical Society January 2022 Lecture (Virtual): “John A. Macdonald\, Elizabeth Hall and Beavermead Farm”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ken Brown \nOn 21 December 1860 the prominent Peterborough widow\, Elizabeth Hall\, wrote to John A. Macdonald beginning\, “My loved John\,” and closing\, “Goodbye my own darling\, Love your loving Lizzie.” Historians have long known of this letter\, but until now\, not much of the back story. Ken Brown sheds new light on the financial challenges of Elizabeth\, the fate of the George Barker Hall estate\, and Macdonald’s activities in developing and selling Beavermead. And what of John A’s relationship with Elizabeth Hall? By inserting himself into Mrs. Hall’s affairs\, Macdonald accepted considerable financial risk with no prospect of return other than the goodwill of the very friendly sounding Elizabeth Hall. Ken Brown has written extensively about the history of businesses and businessmen in the Peterborough area. \nTuesday\, 18 January 2022\, 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. Register to attend by sending an email note to info@peterboroughhistoricalsociety.ca with “Hall” in the subject line. Deadline to register is noon\, 18 January.

SUMMARY:Culinary Historians of Canada (Virtual): Salt Rising Bread: A Unique North American Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Salt Rising Bread author & researcher Genevieve Bardwell will lead us in a workshop on making this unique bread. Lots of history\, too! \nSalt rising bread is a uniquely North American bread that originated in the Appalachian region during the 1700s. This bread tradition was passed down orally through the centuries and shared across West Virginia\, Western New York (and up into Canada\, where Catherine Parr Traill made it in Ontario) \, Pennsylvania\, Kentucky\, Tennessee\, and North Carolina. \nIn addition to a workshop showcasing how this unusual bread is made\, Ms. Bardwell will share theories about how the bread got its name: from coddling a ‘starter’ in heated salt\, to the use of chemical salts (potash\, baking soda\, table salt) that establish a unique alkaline fermentation\, enabling the bread to rise. Stories reveal a heritage rich in folklore as well as baking skills. Often a salt rising bread ‘starter’ was passed among neighbors\, while recipes were passed down through the generations. Comparisons with similar Indigenous breads from other world regions will be discussed. Q&A will be ongoing during the workshop.

SUMMARY:Myseum (Virtual): Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada
DESCRIPTION:A conversation exploring the history and lived experiences of Black Railway Porters and their fight for equality on and off the tracks. \n“All aboard!” for Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada. \nFrom the late 1800s to the mid 1900s\, Canada’s Black Railway Porters were a group of workers who disrupted the system\, becoming instrumental in leading the fight for fair employment practices and anti-discriminatory laws. \nTheir fight for equality both on and off the track helped shape the multicultural Canada we know today\, and continues to inform contemporary conversations about labour and race. \nJoin us for this educational and eye-opening conversation between author/scholar Cecil Foster (They Call Me George: The Untold Stories of Black Train Porters)\, and Andria Babbington and John Cartwright of the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. \nThis conversation will take us back in time to take a look at the inspiring lives and contributions of these men\, and explore how their legacy can help us imagine greater equality in Canada today and in the future. \nThis conversation in partnership with the Toronto & York Region Labour Council is part of an upcoming and in-depth multimedia exhibition about Canada’s Black Railway Porters presented in collaboration with Cecil Foster.
