SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society November 2023 Meeting (In-Person and Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Kingston has long relied on haunted walks and its role as penitentiary warden of the nation to bolster its tourism. Queen’s doctoral candidate Kaitlyn MacDonald’s research into what is called “Dark Tourism” will delve beyond the superficial into the historical construction behind our fascination with the abnormal and suggest ways in which such analysis may be used to enhance both our historical understanding and tourism management. \n\nWe return to in-person meetings in January\, now at the Kingsbridge Retirement Community which has graciously agreed to let us use their very comfortable theatre lounge for our meetings. This is a most attractive location with comfortable armchairs and the most up-to-date audio-visual equipment. The spaciousness of this venue also allows us to offer light refreshments and an opportunity for socialization after each lecture. \nThe Kingsbridge Retirement Community\, 950 Centennial Drive is the tall building just south of Princess Street. Ask for the theatre lounge on the lower floor. Enter by the prominent door on the east side. Someone will be at the door to give you directions and to check your double vaccination status. There is free visitor parking along the north side of the building. Express buses #501 and 502 serve upper Princess Street to very near Kingsbridge. Bus #4 offers slower service along Princess Street from downtown. Use the Centennial Drive bus stop. \nCovid precautions: Please wear a mask on entry to the building\, but you may remove your mask once in the room. Proof of vaccination is mandatory. The building is kept meticulously sanitized.

SUMMARY:La Société d'histoire de Toronto - Visite du cimetière York
DESCRIPTION:Départ* : 13h à l’entrée du cimetière au 160 chemin Beecroft (ouest de Yonge)\nFin : retour à l’entrée\nGuides : Gilles Huot et Rolande Smith \nAu début du 19e siècle\, le terrain occupé par le cimetière York était une ferme qui appartenait à Joseph Shepard.

Plusieurs personnalités y sont enterrées : une princesse impériale\, un joueur de hockey légendaire maintenant associé au « double double »\, une journaliste brillante morte trop tôt et plus encore. Ce cimetière a aussi un aspect militaire assez prononcé et on y trouve quelques bâtiments et monuments remarquables. \n*Comment s’y rendre? Par métro\, descendre à la station North York Centre. Une fois sur la rue Yonge\, marcher vers le sud jusqu’au North York Blvd. Marcher ensuite vers l’ouest sur le North York Blvd\, ce qui vous mènera aux portes du cimetière (le point de départ de notre visite). Il y a un stationnement public au 180 Beecroft Road\, juste à côté des portes du cimetière. \nVisite gratuite\, la SHT passe le chapeau à la fin de la visite.\nPas besoin de s’inscrire\, pas de chien.\nContact : smth7631@rogers.com ou gilles.huot3@sympatico.ca

SUMMARY:Conférence de la Société d’histoire de Toronto - Le destin d’Inuits du Labrador décédés en France aux XIXe et XXe siècles
DESCRIPTION:En 1880\, un Inuk du nord du Labrador\, Abraham\, accepte une offre de partir pour l’Europe pour une année\, avec femme et enfants\, afin d’y être exhibés dans des zoos. Il espère ainsi gagner des revenus qui lui permettront d’améliorer le sort de sa famille. Trente-cinq ans plus tard\, John Shiwak s’enrôle et devient un des meilleurs tireurs d’élite du régiment de Terre-Neuve lors de la Grande Guerre. \nTous deux ont le mal du pays et ne rêvent qu’à rentrer au Labrador. Le destin en a toutefois décidé autrement. Abraham décède à Paris en janvier 1881; John en Cambrésis en novembre 1917. Leurs familles et la communauté du Labrador n’ont jamais su ce qui leur était arrivé jusqu’à récemment. \nVenez découvrir ces deux histoires tragiques ainsi que les démarches entreprises pour rectifier les erreurs du passé et commémorer leur mémoire. \n*Lien pour s’inscrire: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/billets-le-destin-dinuits-du-labrador-decedes-en-france-aux-19e-et-20e-siecles-682454097577?aff=oddtdtcreator&from=b018ca1928df11ee8f05e69217a0df9b&keep_tld=1

SUMMARY:Esquesing Historical Society: A Short History of the Lorne Scots Regiment
DESCRIPTION:The Lorne Scots (Peel\, Dufferin\, & Halton Regiment)\, the local Militia (Army Reserves) regiment has served Canada and the local community since before Confederation. While its official birthday is in September 1866\, its history predates the War of 1812. A company of the regiment has been in Georgetown since 1863 and has included many residents who have served in war and peace. Charles Veale will present the history of the regiment starting with the 1793 Milita Act and continuing to the COVID-19 Pandemic and will touch on a few more recent developments.

SUMMARY:Campbell House Museum: Tales of the Grotesque
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a midnight dreary\, while I pondered\, weak and weary\, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—while I nodded\, nearly napping\, suddenly there came a tapping\, as of some one gently rapping\, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor\,” I muttered\, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more …” \nAn immersive horror opera\, Tales of the Grotesque invites visitors to explore Victorian Toronto through the eyes of literature’s most twisted author\, Edgar Allan Poe\, and come tapping at the door to the unknown. \nIn this haunting adaptation of the works of Edgar Allan Poe\, join the visitors of the melancholy House of Usher on a candlelit journey into the macabre. Despite their apprehensions\, a stubborn doctor\, a resentful medium\, and a murderer attend the funeral of an eccentric recluse—only to question the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. As they begin to outstay their welcome\, they uncover evidence of a connection between their disturbing pasts and the sinister presence stalking their every move. With their secrets exposed\, they must be willing to summon their ghosts to survive the supernatural forces at work\, and confront the meddlesome housekeeper who knows more than she claims.

SUMMARY:Campbell House Museum: Tales of the Grotesque
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a midnight dreary\, while I pondered\, weak and weary\, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—while I nodded\, nearly napping\, suddenly there came a tapping\, as of some one gently rapping\, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some visitor\,” I muttered\, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more …” \nAn immersive horror opera\, Tales of the Grotesque invites visitors to explore Victorian Toronto through the eyes of literature’s most twisted author\, Edgar Allan Poe\, and come tapping at the door to the unknown. \nIn this haunting adaptation of the works of Edgar Allan Poe\, join the visitors of the melancholy House of Usher on a candlelit journey into the macabre. Despite their apprehensions\, a stubborn doctor\, a resentful medium\, and a murderer attend the funeral of an eccentric recluse—only to question the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. As they begin to outstay their welcome\, they uncover evidence of a connection between their disturbing pasts and the sinister presence stalking their every move. With their secrets exposed\, they must be willing to summon their ghosts to survive the supernatural forces at work\, and confront the meddlesome housekeeper who knows more than she claims.
