SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum (Virtual): A History of Toy Trains
DESCRIPTION:Join us! “A History of Toy Trains: An ‘O’ Gauge Perspective” on September 15 (7pm EST). \nDiscover the beginnings and early history of toy trains made in Britain\, Europe and the United States\, and how manufacturers marketed trains for Canada. Presenters will delve into the evolution of toy trains\, from pull toys to simple clockwork mechanisms and beautifully decorated tinplate lithography\, to the well engineered mechanical marvels of the early 1900’s. \nThe appeal of mechanical electric toy trains exploded in the Post WWII era\, and the Golden Age of popularity was the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. After a generation of decline\, the toy trains of today are enjoying an unprecedented resurgence\, as manufacturers are now making modern remote-controlled electronic marvels\, with full sounds and effects recorded from real steam and diesel locomotives. The session will close with a look at the toy trains of today. \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required. \nAttendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room\, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST. \nPRESENTER \nKyle Miller was born and raised in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. He graduated with a BSc from Dalhousie University in 1983. His Father was a lifelong railroader with CN and then VIA. After a career in music during the 80’s\, Kyle spent 15 years in Toronto with Canada Post and IBM\, before relocating to Vancouver in 2003. Kyle serves on the Board of Directors and volunteers at the Railway Museum of BC\, and can frequently be seen driving Track Speeders and Mini-Rail Trains. \nCO-PRESENTERS \nRobin Dodson\, CTTA\, TCA\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert\nCharles Reif\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert\nFrank Schmidt\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert\nJames Barrett\, CTTA\, TCA\, Author\, Historian\, Toy Train Expert\nMark Horne\, CTTA Previous President\, Author\, Toy Train Expert

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Peter Meyler\, "The Turbulent Life of John ‘Daddy’ Hall"
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs\, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic\, including our series of talks. We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022\, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs\, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month\, April to November\, at 7:00 pm. \nThe Museum being no longer available as a host site\, and with the continuing threat of COVID\, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs\, so we have made this a subscription series\, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nPeter Meyler loves discovering our untold histories. His research has led to two books\, many articles\, and numerous presentations. The co-author of A Stolen Life: Searching for Richard Pierpoint and editor of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson from Slavery to Freedom\, Peter has uncovered historic information on a number of remarkable Black Canadians\, including John “Daddy” Hall\, Sophia Burthen\, Lemuel Brown\, and Larry Gains. Today’s presentation features John Daddy Hall of Owen Sound. It is said Daddy Hall had 21 children and six wives over his 118-year life. \nBut this isn’t the most remarkable things about him. Discover this African-Ojibwa warrior\, Tecumseh scout\, Kentucky slave\, Black militiaman\, and Grey County resident. Daddy Hall is a man who fought in the War of 1812 was captured and taken into slavery — a man who escaped\, came back home\, and struggled to make a place for himself in Canadian society. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

SUMMARY:Culinary Historians of Canada: Speaking Cod: A History of Cod Fishing & Cod Eating from the Vikings to Now
DESCRIPTION:How one humble fish changed the world. Elisabetta Giacon talks about her ongoing research into cod history. With recipes! \nHow could one humble fish change the history of the world? From the Norse Viking era when Europeans first learned about the huge codfish stocks in North American waters to the times of the south Italian Normans (1000 C.E.) to the first collection of Italian recipes\, to a time when the wealthy and the less wealthy embraced the consumption of cod\, researcher Elisabetta Giacon looks at the history of cod and the ancient “cod people” who continue to have an impact on international cuisine. \nShe explains how cod cuisine has moved and adapted to various diverse cultures with new and traditional ingredients\, in time entrenching a regional way of preparing either dried or salted or frozen or fresh cod. \nCod history is one still in the making\, in Elisabetta’s view\, and her trip to Canada is part of her ongoing research into the history of cod\, cod fishing\, “cod people” and the cod recipes. \nHer talk on her research will include photos\, maps\, bibliographical references and recipes! And we are hoping to have some cod-based snacks to accompany the talk. \n\n\nBorn in Northern Italy\, Elisabetta Giacon\, has been a charter member of the Culinary Historians of Washington\, D.C. since 1997. After studying in France\, England and Austria\, she obtained a second degree\, in American Studies\, from the University of Maryland. Elisabetta’s food writings have appeared in newspapers\, magazines and food encyclopedias and she has worked as a cookbook translator for over 20 years. In 2002\, Elisabetta was part of a team who assisted in setting up Julia Child’s Kitchen at the Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C. \nIn 2019\, her book La Cioccolata dei Missionari (Chocolate of the Missionaries) was published in Italy. It explores the ways missionaries\, especially the Northern Italian “Padre Kino\,” contributed to the “Columbus Exchange” and how that has affected northern Mexico and Arizona’s cuisine and economy. Her most recent research is focused on cod and the ancient “cod people.” \n\n\n\n\nThe event room in the building is on the first floor. We ask all participants to wear masks. Thanks for taking care of our immune-compromised members!
