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:National Trust Webinar: Regenerating Places of Faith
DESCRIPTION:FREE \n\nPlaces of faith have traditionally anchored and shaped our communities as part of the complex legacy of religious organizations in Canada. Yet many congregations today face declining attendance and insufficient funding to maintain and operate their historic buildings. These important community assets are at risk in this period of transition\, but faith groups\, heritage and community organizations are rising to the challenge of finding new solutions. \nJoin us for this webinar where we explore the successful regeneration strategies being applied successfully across the country. \nPanelists will include the Trust’s Robert Pajot and Kendra Fry\, as well as guest panelists Katja Brittain (Toronto United Church Council)\, Jennifer Miltenberg (St Joseph’s Kingsbridge Community) and Barbara Myers (SvN Architects + Planners). \nIn preparation for the webinar\, we’ve put together a video introduction to regenerating places of faith.\nWatch it here.

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)

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Fall Author Series: Robin Blackburn McBride ("The Shining Fragments")
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 18th for the next evening in our author’s series! \nJoin author Robin Blackburn McBride as she discusses Toronto’s history via a tour of selected settings and passages in her debut novel\, The Shining Fragments (Guernica\, 2018). \nRecognized as an Editors’ Choice book with the Historical Novel Society in North America\, The Shining Fragments explores the ramifications of abandonment\, obsession\, love\, memory\, and visionary power. Spanning the years 1882 – 1904\, the story follows Joseph Conlon from his early childhood in Ulster to his experiences of youth and adulthood as an Irish immigrant in Toronto. Left behind as a small boy at Union Station\, Joseph grows up in a city bleak with bigotry. He discovers that he has artistic talent and becomes a designer of stained glass windows. Joseph is haunted by the spirit of his unborn sister\, Annie\, and the powerful and often conflicting influences of the women in his life.

SUMMARY:North York Historical Society November 2021 Meeting: “HMS Ontario – Lost and Found" with Ray Peacock
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ray Peacock \nRay Peacock will talk of the historical background leading to the building and launch of the ship near what is now Kingston in 1780\, her involvement in the defence of the border\, and her subsequent loss and discovery in Lake Ontario. His slides include stills of the sunken ship when she was found and of his not-yet-completed model. \nBorn and brought up in the village of Port Sunlight\, the home of the soap company Lever Brothers\, near the city of Liverpool\, Ray has always lived near the sea and large lakes. As a boy he would often take the “Ferry ‘cross the Mersey” from Birkenhead to Liverpool\, where he watched the ships that plied their trade from the wharves and docks of the city that grew on ship building and the commerce of the world\, and which was the control centre of Atlantic Naval operations during WWII\, known as “The Western Approaches”. He was also not far from the entrance to the Manchester Ship Canal\, and would spend time watching the freighters of the world as they passed\, opening the inland City of Manchester to international trade. \nRay took a degree in Food Technology in London. He followed this with a career\, first in the meat industry\, then in the chocolate business. Ray and his family lived in a village near the ancient City of York\, with a history dating back to Viking and Roman times\, and an area hotly contested during the Civil War. Ray\, his wife and three children were “exported” to Canada in 1971 by his company\, and became Vice-president of Manufacturing of the Canadian branch of Rowntrees\, the makers of Kit Kat\, Coffee Crisp\, Smarties\, Black Magic and After Eight Mints. \nHe took up ship modeling as a hobby during our Canadian winters\, initially building from kits\, but later graduating to scratch building. Ray is a member of Metro Marine Modellers\, https://metromarine.org/ a club which has three divisions\, Static\, Scale and Sail\, which reflect the diverse range of vessels being modelled. \nIn addition to building his own models Ray also restores old and damaged models for private individuals and public institutions\, to museum-quality standards of accuracy and finish of hulls and rigging. His Admiralty-style model of the 22-gun ship HMS “Ontario”\, a “snow” which sank in the Lake in 1780\, was built after considerable research\, is considered to be the authentic model of the ship. \n\nThere is no need to pre-register.

Were you adopted and wondering how to make sense of your DNA testing results? \nOn November 16th at 7pm\, join the Museum of Lennox & Addington as we discuss the sources we use\, online or in libraries and archives to build family trees. A variety of platforms are available upon which to build your tree and we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of them. The most significant new tool is DNA testing. We will outline the testing available and take you through a “hands on” example of using the data to sort the matches and locate common ancestors. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BjMe1dy-QA2R0X42jb0z9Q
