SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington: 6 Strings Screening and Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:On June 10th\, 1800\, a bitter dispute between rival factions within the Mohawk Village on the Bay of Quinte escalated into violence and the bloody murder of a father and his son\, with others critically wounded. Six Strings is the compelling\, revealing and true account of how the Mohawk people conducted their own system of justice long before the Indian Act. \nThis event represents a moment in time before Indigenous people were obliged to abide by the British colonial court system. Six Strings highlights the testimonies of witnesses to the murders offering a unique glimpse into the lives of the Mohawk people and their complex interactions with the changing world around them. As the investigation unfolds what is revealed is a sophisticated system of traditional justice and a people that embraced reconciliation and forgiveness with the custom of condolence and commitment to move forward. \nThe accompanying 7 minute film will be extended into a 50 min documentary once funding is secured. The future feature film will draw on the talents of Indigenous artists\, historians\, musicians\, and actors to create a vivid and remarkable view of Mohawk life\, the relationship between the British government and the Mohawk Nation\, and the complex circumstances that culminated in the fateful events of June10th\, 1800. \nIn addition to the screening of 6 Strings\, Callie Hill\, Executive Director of Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na\, who will be presenting the film and exhibit.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Toronto Branch Speaker Series: Dan Buchanan – 38 Hours to Montreal
DESCRIPTION:Dan Buchanan is “The History Guy of Brighton.” He is engaged in many history activities related to local and Ontario history\, working from his home in Brighton\, Ontario. As a guest speaker\, Dan provides fascinating stories of Ontario history presented with humour and passion. See www.danbuchananhistoryguy.com. \nHe has written three books and is going to speak with us about his second book\, “38 Hours To Montreal: William Weller and the Governor General’s Race of 1840”. It tells the story of an amazing sleigh ride in February 1840\, all the way from Toronto to Montreal – in under 38 hours. The book is presented as a road trip\, with the reader sitting on the bench with Mr. Weller as he drives through every little town and village on the Kingston Road and the King’s Highway between Toronto and Montreal. There is a bit of local history about each place as the trip progresses and also there is also lots of historical context which explains why Mr. Weller is driving the GG to Montreal in such a hurry. \nLink will be sent to members a few day before the event. If you are not on the email list then contact torontouel@gmail.com and ask for it.

SUMMARY:SDG Historical Society: A Celebration of Friendship #Cornwall1784
DESCRIPTION:Experience history as it comes to life! On May 20-22\, Lamoureux Park will be the site of a celebration commemorating how Ontario began in 1784. Created and organized by the SDG Historical Society through the Cornwall Community Museum\, three days of historical displays and cultural performances will fill the park. The festival will bring together over two hundred and fifty reenactors\, equipment\, artifacts\, and activities representing three cultures that played significant roles in the area’s early history: the Indigenous peoples (Mohawks)\, the French-Canadians\, and the Loyalists (British\, Scottish\, and Palatines). This is a “rain or shine” activity that is free to the public and open to all. \nFew people travelling down Water Street in Cornwall realize they are passing by one of Ontario and Canada’s key historic sites. On the banks of the St. Lawrence River near what is now Lamoureux Park\, two hundred and thirty-eight years ago a group of exiles from the United States landed to make a new home. \nThese United Empire Loyalists had sided with Great Britain in the American Revolution. They left behind their homes and belongings in Upper New York State to stay loyal to the Crown and move to the wilderness of Canada. It was here that the Loyalists had been granted land by the King for their service. \nThe group of five hundred settlers landed that June day in 1784 led by Sir John Johnson and made up of officers\, soldiers\, and their families. They faced a forested wilderness and years of hardship but from there\, the roots of what would become Ontario began and Canada started its settlement of Upper Canada and beyond. \nAn exciting weekend of events is planned for this celebration. Lamoureux Park becomes a historic military encampment with one camp representing the Loyalists of 1784 and another one\, the War of 1812. Re-enactors will show life as it would have been two hundred years ago and provide entertainment over the weekend including military maneuvers. Children from the audience can dress up in British soldier uniforms and drill with wooden muskets. The Voltigeurs regiment from Quebec will also be part of the event providing a bilingual service for visitors. A French speaking Towne Crier dressed in the French Blue military uniform will announce events along with a British Towne Crier dressed in his resplendent red tunic. \nStarting off the Cornwall 1784 Celebration on Friday by getting immersed in French-Canadian culture presenting an evening of music\, dance and artisans sharing their proud heritage in Canada and in this area. Une soiree d’antan Canadienne will wrap up the day with music and dance by various entertainers from Eastern Ontario and Quebec. \nOn Saturday evening\, the Glengarry Highland Games will present a taste of the Games with a mini tattoo featuring pipe bands\, the famous MacCulloch Dancers\, Scottish fiddlers\, and great Celtic entertainment. \nOn Saturday and Sunday\, the Mohawk culture will be in the spotlight with The North Native American Traveling College (NNATC) of Akwesasne featuring a rotating display of basket making\, rattlers and drums makers\, medicinal herbs\, and fur cleaning process. A travel troop composed of singers and dancers will perform and explain the songs and their cultural significance as well as get the crowd involved in their celebration by joining in the dance. \nThis weekend celebration is the first time all three cultures have joined together in Cornwall to share their heritage. Whether you are interested in history\, want to enjoy first-class entertainment\, or just enjoy a day outside wandering among the displays\, you need to be in Cornwall on May 20\, 21 and 22. The best thing of all for the weekend is that it is free. The City of Cornwall\, the Cornwall TDF and numerous local businesses and organizations have made the Cornwall 1784 Celebration possible through generous donations. \nSee you at the park and witness history come alive. For more information and a complete program\, go to the Facebook event at https://fb.me/e/1MpEfsX6M and search using hashtag #Cornwall1784.

SUMMARY:SDG Historical Society: A Celebration of Friendship #Cornwall1784
DESCRIPTION:Experience history as it comes to life! On May 20-22\, Lamoureux Park will be the site of a celebration commemorating how Ontario began in 1784. Created and organized by the SDG Historical Society through the Cornwall Community Museum\, three days of historical displays and cultural performances will fill the park. The festival will bring together over two hundred and fifty reenactors\, equipment\, artifacts\, and activities representing three cultures that played significant roles in the area’s early history: the Indigenous peoples (Mohawks)\, the French-Canadians\, and the Loyalists (British\, Scottish\, and Palatines). This is a “rain or shine” activity that is free to the public and open to all. \nFew people travelling down Water Street in Cornwall realize they are passing by one of Ontario and Canada’s key historic sites. On the banks of the St. Lawrence River near what is now Lamoureux Park\, two hundred and thirty-eight years ago a group of exiles from the United States landed to make a new home. \nThese United Empire Loyalists had sided with Great Britain in the American Revolution. They left behind their homes and belongings in Upper New York State to stay loyal to the Crown and move to the wilderness of Canada. It was here that the Loyalists had been granted land by the King for their service. \nThe group of five hundred settlers landed that June day in 1784 led by Sir John Johnson and made up of officers\, soldiers\, and their families. They faced a forested wilderness and years of hardship but from there\, the roots of what would become Ontario began and Canada started its settlement of Upper Canada and beyond. \nAn exciting weekend of events is planned for this celebration. Lamoureux Park becomes a historic military encampment with one camp representing the Loyalists of 1784 and another one\, the War of 1812. Re-enactors will show life as it would have been two hundred years ago and provide entertainment over the weekend including military maneuvers. Children from the audience can dress up in British soldier uniforms and drill with wooden muskets. The Voltigeurs regiment from Quebec will also be part of the event providing a bilingual service for visitors. A French speaking Towne Crier dressed in the French Blue military uniform will announce events along with a British Towne Crier dressed in his resplendent red tunic. \nStarting off the Cornwall 1784 Celebration on Friday by getting immersed in French-Canadian culture presenting an evening of music\, dance and artisans sharing their proud heritage in Canada and in this area. Une soiree d’antan Canadienne will wrap up the day with music and dance by various entertainers from Eastern Ontario and Quebec. \nOn Saturday evening\, the Glengarry Highland Games will present a taste of the Games with a mini tattoo featuring pipe bands\, the famous MacCulloch Dancers\, Scottish fiddlers\, and great Celtic entertainment. \nOn Saturday and Sunday\, the Mohawk culture will be in the spotlight with The North Native American Traveling College (NNATC) of Akwesasne featuring a rotating display of basket making\, rattlers and drums makers\, medicinal herbs\, and fur cleaning process. A travel troop composed of singers and dancers will perform and explain the songs and their cultural significance as well as get the crowd involved in their celebration by joining in the dance. \nThis weekend celebration is the first time all three cultures have joined together in Cornwall to share their heritage. Whether you are interested in history\, want to enjoy first-class entertainment\, or just enjoy a day outside wandering among the displays\, you need to be in Cornwall on May 20\, 21 and 22. The best thing of all for the weekend is that it is free. The City of Cornwall\, the Cornwall TDF and numerous local businesses and organizations have made the Cornwall 1784 Celebration possible through generous donations. \nSee you at the park and witness history come alive.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum (In-Person and Virtual) Lecture: Mark Scharf - Child of Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Society for this in-person and virtual event that is free to view.  The lecture will be broadcast live via MS Teams.    \nThis lecture is being presented in support of the traveling exhibit  “And in 1948\, I came to Canada”: The Holocaust in Six Dates  on display at the Thunder Bay Museum from April 6th until June 26th 2022. \nMark Scharf will be discussing his parents’ experiences during the Holocaust and how they managed to survive; including help by gentile friends and neighbours\, and in his father’s case\, initiative in convincing a large number of his family to join him to live in the forest. He will also be discussing the Holocaust’s impact on the children of Holocaust survivors\, including his own experiences. \nBio: \nMark Scharf was born October 10\,1945 in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany. Lived in Poland till 1950 when my family moved to Israel\, and in 1953 moved from Israel to Canada. \nGraduated from the University of Toronto Law School in spring of 1971 after undergraduate studies there. During my undergraduate years I also received a Commission in the Canadian Army through the C.O.T.C. (Canadian Officers Training Corps). Married Joanne Cohen on August 21\, 1971 and celebrated 50th wedding anniversary in August 2021. Called to the bar of the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Law Society of Ontario) in March of 1973. \nMoved to Barrie Ontario in 1974 and opened solo law office. The practice evolved over time so that my practice became primarily a civil litigation one with a good dose of family law. Two daughters\, Sara and Deborah\, were born in the early years in Barrie \nI became active in community work and among other activities the most significant were my 9 years on the Barrie Hospital Board and four years on the Barrie Police Services Board. I was Chairman of the hospital board in my last two years on it\, and Vice Chair of the Police Services Board in my last two years there. I was a Deputy Small Claims Court Judge of some 25 years and was a Dispute Resolution Officer in Family Court after retirement from my law practice. \nIn August 2005 after I closed my office my wife and I sailed our boat south to the Florida Keys on an eight month adventure. In 2007 we built our home on a 57 acre forested property on which we live. I belong to the Huronia Woodland Owners Association and am a past director of its Board. We are active and enjoy sailing our boat on Georgian Bay\, snow shoeing and cross country skiing on the property\, making new trails on it\,  gardening\, and I enjoy cutting firewood from deadfall. I also enjoy ice fishing. We are both bookworms and read extensively. We take pride in our daughters’\, grandson’s\, and son-in-law’s accomplishments.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum - Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II
DESCRIPTION:Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II \nThursday\, May 19 \n7:00-8:30 PM EST \nRegistration link: https://bit.ly/QE2TrainTours \n  \n\nOn May 19\, join the Toronto Railway Museum and Dr. Carolyn Harris for an online lecture about the Queen’s tours of Canada. Carolyn will talk about the Queen’s tours of Canada on railway. \nIn 2022\, Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee\, the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne in 1952. The 1950s were a period of iconic royal train tours of Canada as Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip made their first official visit to Canada in 1951 and then Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip undertook their longest visit to Canada in 1959\, traveling to all the provinces and territories of the time. Royal tours were an opportunity for members of the royal family to connect with Canadians from all walks of life and engage with Canadian culture and institutions. Canadian royal tours were also an opportunity for Canadians to discuss and debate the future of the monarchy in Canada. Although train travel across Canada was no longer central to royal tours of Canada after the 1950s as air travel took centre stage\, short royal train journeys and engagement with railway history continued to be part of Canadian royal tours as the Queen rode the monorail train at Expo 67\, and took a historic silver jubilee train journey from Ottawa to Wakefield\, Quebec in 1977. William and Catherine visited the White Pass steam train in Carcross\, Yukon during their most recent Canadian tour in 2016. \n\nTICKETS \nTickets for this online 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 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST.
