SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum Online Lecture: Christmas and the Railways
DESCRIPTION:On December 16th\, join the Toronto Railway Museum for its final presentation in the 2021 online lecture series! If you’ve ever wondered why trains are such a common sight around the holidays\, or you remember riding a train during the holiday season yourself\, then this is a must-see presentation. \nLed by our Museum’s historians\, we will take you on a journey to see how important trains and the railways are to the holiday season. This lecture will highlight how and why model trains were an everyday sight at your local department store during the holidays. We will show how the railway companies and stations decorated for the holidays in the hopes of spreading seasonal cheer amongst the riders. You will also learn how trains helped make Christmas possible in a variety of ways\, like how express trains delivered both people and parcels in record time for the holidays! \nFollowing the presentation\, the attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with our presenters\, ask questions\, and share their favorite memories of trains during the holidays. \nAdmission to this event is free of charge\, and the Toronto Railway Museum would like to acknowledge the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Community Building Fund in making this possible. More information on the OTF’s Community Building Fund is available here.

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.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Fall Author Series: Katie Daubs ("The Missing Millionaire\, the True Story of Ambrose Small and the City Obsessed with Finding Him")
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 2nd for the final evening in our author’s series! \nKatie Daubs will speak about how she recreated the city from the 1870s to the 1930s for her book The Missing Millionaire\, the True Story of Ambrose Small and the City Obsessed with Finding Him. \nIn December 1919\, Ambrose Small\, the mercurial owner of the Grand Opera House in Toronto\, closed a deal to sell his network of Ontario theatres\, deposited a million-dollar cheque in his bank account\, and was never seen again. As weeks turned to years\, the disappearance became the most “extraordinary unsolved mystery” of its time. In The Missing Millionaire\, Katie Daubs tells the story of the Small mystery\, weaving together a gripping narrative with the social and cultural history of a city undergoing immense change. Daubs examines the characters who were connected to the case as the century carried on: Ambrose’s religious wife\, Theresa; his long-time secretary\, Jack Doughty; his two unmarried sisters\, Florence and Gertrude; Patrick Sullivan\, a lawless ex-policeman; and Austin Mitchell\, an overwhelmed detective.

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Men o’ the North: The Most Talked About Hockey Outfit in the World by Stephen Smith
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 30\, 2021: \nToday’s NHL teams regularly celebrate the service and sacrifices of military men and women. Armored cars invade pre-game ice\, players take warm-ups in camo. But the hockey’s top league has never seen anything like the episode that unfolded in Toronto in the turbulent years of the First World War when in 1916\, an active Canadian Army infantry battalion on its way to the front took the ice to compete in a pre-NHL league with the world-champion Montreal Canadiens and other well-established teams. \nEarly in 1916\, as more and more young men enlisted in the Canadian Army\, one Northern Ontario unit began to accumulate some of the country’s finest hockey talent at its training depot. George McNamara\, Goldie Prodgers\, Duke Keats\, Percy LeSueur were among the recruits\, several of whom would later ascend to the Hockey Hall of Fame. \nThe fact that the battalion applied to and was accepted as a franchise in the National Hockey Association wasn’t\, perhaps\, so great a surprise in a country consumed by the winter game — and where\, indeed\, some considered hockey to be a perfect preparation for soldiers headed for combat. The team prospered on the ice for as long as they played there — they only lasted halfway through the season\, as it turned out\, when the Army decided that the battlefield was more of priority than a championship. \nHockey historian Stephen Smith’s telling of the vivid story of the khaki-clad team illuminates a lesser-known aspect of Toronto’s wartime (and hockey) history and reflects on the relationship\, then and now\, between sport and war. \nStephen Smith is a writer in Toronto\, a sometime contributor to The New York Times\, The Globe and Mail\, and Canadian Geographic. He’s author of the book Puckstruck: Distracted\, Delighted and Distressed by Canada’s Hockey Obsession (2014)\, and steers a blog at puckstruck.com that keeps an eye on hockey history and culture. He shoots left. \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)

DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Bill Reist\, Friends of Grain Elevators\, Board of Directors \nThis webinar will be presented in person and virtually. \nCLICK HERE to watch the free webinar!\nJoin the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society and our partner the Friends of Grain Elevators as Bill Reist presents the fascinating construction of the twin Bawlf and Stewart grain elevators simultaneous construction in the summer of 1923. \nBill Reist is a retired Structural Engineer. He graduated from McMaster University in 1963 and came to Port Arthur to work for C. D. Howe Engineering in the fall of 1964. His experience with C. D. Howe included a great deal of design and construction work with grain elevators which were the core expertise of the company. \nHe was directly responsible for concept development\, detailed engineering design and construction of an inland terminal grain elevator in Indiana\, a waterfront terminal elevator in Windsor and many maintenance and remedial projects in Lakehead elevators. \nThe collateral expertise related to elevators includes marine structures to address shipping\, foundations of heavy industrial structures\, slipforming procedures unique to silo-shaped structures. He supervised the construction of a dock and breakwater in El Salvador which consisted of a series of slipformed concrete caissons and included ship handling features for berthing and mooring as well as providing protection for the port from strong ocean swells. \nThe C. D. Howe Company was sold on the 1990’s and Bill took his experience in construction to the mining field during the expansion of Lac des Iles mine in 2000.
