SUMMARY:La Société d'histoire de Toronto HISTORITOUR - Le quartier Arc-en-ciel (du village gai)
DESCRIPTION:Le quartier Arc-en-ciel (du village gai) \nDimanche 14 juin 2026 à 14H \nDépart : 14h en partance de l’angle des rues Yonge et Alexander (2 rues au nord de Carlton\, métro College) \nArrivée : 15h30 au parquette George Hislop (12\, rue Isabella) \nGuide : Gilles Marchildon \nLieu très animé\, notamment en juin\, mois de la Fierté\, on en trouve de toutes les couleurs dans le quartier émanant du carrefour des rues Church et Wellesley. Surnommé le “village gai/gay”\, ce quartier “arc-en-ciel” a subi plein de transformations au cours des ans. \nQue vous soyez membre ou non de la communauté 2ELGBTQIA+ (l’alphabet s’est allongé ces dernières années!) ou une personne dite “alliée” ou encore\, simplement curieuse\, juin est le moment idéal pour approfondir ses connaissances et son appréciation du quartier et de l’histoire. Cette dernière est parfois très (certains diraient trop) évidente\, parfois cachée ou perdue… ou emportée par ordre de la ville comme une certaine malheureuse statue en bronze. \nCoincé entre la rue Yonge\, artère principale Nord-Sud de la ville\, et la rue Jarvis où on trouve encore les anciennes maisons des riches\, le quartier abrite : des archives\, un centre communautaire unique\, un parc mémorial\, des saunas\, des boutiques d’articles sexuels\, des bars très tendance\, le plus ancien théâtre “queer” en activité continue au monde et plus encore. \nVenez découvrir ce quartier qui se déshabille allégrement en été pour faire place à l’une des plus grandes célébrations de la diversité au monde! \nHistoritours 2026 – pas nécessaire de réserver. La SHT passe le chapeau à la fin de la visite\, merci. Pas de chien \nContacts : gilles.marchildon@gmail.com pour la visite du 14 juin ou pour tout autre renseignement\, info@sht.ca.

SUMMARY:Oakville Historical Society - SPEAKER NIGHT Wednesday June 17
DESCRIPTION:The Oakville Historical Society is pleased to announce the speaker for our June 17th “Speaker Night”\, presented by Henry Jelinek. Mr. Jelinek will tell the story of the cork business\nof his ancestors\, which began in 1855 in Austro-Hungary\, recounting the many hardships they underwent\, dealing with war\, the Great Depression\, Nazi occupation and communist nationalization.\nHaving lost everything\, the family fled to Oakville in 1948\, and rebuilt a thriving business that continues today\, and spans across five generations – being one of Oakville’s oldest enterprises. \nThe talk also explores cork itself – its origins\, unique properties and value as a sustainable natural material – and how it has grown to be used across various industries. Henry Jelinek has spent a lifetime working with and studying cork\, and is a leading authority on cork and its many uses. A graduate of Marietta College in Ohio\, he went on to earn his master’s degree from The New School for Social Research in New York City. He has spent months in various cork forests throughout the Mediterranean region\, participating in numerous cork harvests. Jelinek is a strong advocate of using natural materials in responsible ways while ensuring their sustainability. He has spent over fifty years in the cork business. He has written numerous articles and several books. He and his wife Cathy reside in Oakville. Their three children are currently the fifth generation to lead Jelinek Cork Group. \nPlease join us on Wednesday\, June 17\, 2026 at 7:30 pm in the Coach House (right next door to the Oakville Historical Society)\, and learn more about this business and the industry\, which for\nover 75 years has grown alongside our community – and provided a family and business a strong foundation. \nHope to see you soon!
