SUMMARY:National Trust for Canada (Virtual): Black History in a Modern Cityscape: Geocaching
DESCRIPTION:FREE \nHistoric Places Days is an opportunity to share the places that matter to us\, but we know that place-based history is often limited by the physical remnants of communities and settlements\, most of which are conserved because of their role in telling a dominant\, colonial narrative. This year our aim is to look beyond the established interpretations\, find new ways to tell stories of places that matter. This summer the National Trust is supporting a Geocaching initiative with the City of Fredericton and the Black Loyalist Heritage Society to tell invisible stories of the Maritimes’ founding black communities. \nJoin the National Trust and Graham Nickerson (City of Fredericton) for a webinar on telling invisible stories with Geocaching. Learn more about Black history in Atlantic Canada\, and how to share place based history that has been erased.

SUMMARY:Toronto Book Launch for "The Castleton Massacre"
DESCRIPTION:Join authors Sharon Anne Cook & Margaret Carson for the Toronto book launch of “The Castleton Massacre at John McKenzie House on August 13th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. \nThe Castleton Massacre: Survivors’ Stories of the Killins Femicide\nby Sharon Anne Cook & Margaret Carson\nA former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide\, and why were his victims forgotten? \nOn May 2\, 1963\, Robert Killins\, a former United Church minister\, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired\, a scholar and graduate from Queen’s University\, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. \nThrough extensive oral histories\, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders\, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts\, this family memoir explores how a murderer was created. \nAuthor’s website: https://sharonannecook.com/ \nBuy the book: https://www.dundurn.com/books_/t22117/a9781459749863-the-castleton-massacre

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Douglas Gibson\, "Great Scots: Celebrating Canadian Storytellers with Links to Scotland\, 1867 to Today"
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\nBorn in Scotland in 1943\, Doug Gibson came to Canada in 1967. He spent his career as an editor and publisher\, becoming what the Globe and Mail called “a publishing icon.” The fiction authors he edited over the years include such literary icons as Hugh MacLennan\, Morley Callaghan\, Robertson Davies\, Alice Munro\, and more. Since retirement from McClelland & Stewart in 2008\, he has become an author and fabled storyteller. His lively new presentation involves dozens of excellent Anthony Jenkins caricatures featuring the 16 selected fiction writers. Doug talks about the authors against the backdrop of their historic backgrounds. For each\, the show will include a burst of music from the time period\, along with examples of iconic works of art being produced. Versions of this tribute to Canadian artists in general have already played at the University of Guelph\, in Montreal and Quebec City. Enthusiastic Maritime audiences attended this show in Saint John\, Charlottetown\, Antigonish\, and Halifax. The tour continues… \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:Etobicoke Historical Society Summer History Series: Etobicoke's Historic Lakeshore
DESCRIPTION:This is a free and open online public event via Zoom webinar. For how to join in\, please visit our Summer History page. \nMimico\, New Toronto and Long Branch share many things\, including the streetcars of Lakeshore Boulevard West and the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario\, but they have very different histories. Mimico is an older town\, once the home of palatial estates. New Toronto had its start as a gritty industrial suburb. And Long Branch began as a gated\, upper class cottage community and resort in Victorian times. Join EHS Historian Richard Jordan as he travels back in time on this virtual historic tour of Etobicoke’s three lakeshore communities. \nRichard Jordan is an EHS Board Member\, having previously served as a Director from 1980 to 1996\, including a two-year term as President.  He also served two terms as a citizen member of the Etobicoke Historical Board in the 1980s. \n​Richard studied Geography and Environmental Studies at York University and later contributed a local heritage column in the Toronto Star from 1984 to 1991 as well as feature articles in a number of genealogy and history magazines. Richard’s family genealogy book\, “Beyond the Great Pine Ridge\,” was published in 2004 and a new book\, “Ernest D. Banting: Life in Weston 1921-1973\,” was being published this year.  Richard is well known for his speaking engagements with historical societies and seniors groups.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Walking Tour - On the Edge of the City: Toronto in 1833
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Town of York on foot with one of our expert historians! \nImagine a Toronto where the tallest building is only three stories high\, where Lake Ontario reaches Front Street\, where the wagon wheels grind through the muddy roads\, the air smells of smoke and animal\, and the surrounding lands is farms\, fields\, and forests. This was what the neighbourhood looked like in the early 1800s. \nIn this walking tour\, explore the surviving built environment of the original 10 blocks of Toronto and discover how the Town of York\, which started as a colonial outpost with a couple hundred residents\, became the City of Toronto in 1834\, with a population of just under 10\,000. \nTours start and end at Toronto’s First Post Office. Tours run rain or shine\, and may cover rough ground\, so please dress accordingly. All ages are welcome. Dogs and bicycles are welcome as we walk\, though portions of some tours may include areas where they are restricted.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): September 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“Fascinating Facts from Loyalist History” — Presentation by Stephen Davidson \nWhether you are new to the story of the Loyalists or it is a treasured part of your family’s heritage\, there is always something new to learn about Canada’s refugee founders. Historian and author Stephen Davidson has compiled 25 facts from Loyalist history that may have escaped the notice of your Canadian history teachers — facts that prove to be far more fascinating than many of the myths that have clung to these “friends of the king” over the centuries. \nStephen Davidson UE – One set of Stephen’s Loyalist ancestors were aboard the Union\, the flag ship of the spring fleet that arrived at the mouth of the St. John River in 1783. His 1975 bachelor’s thesis on an aspect of Black Loyalist history became the basis for his contribution to Volume VII of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. \nIn addition to submissions to The Loyalist Gazette and more than 795 articles for Loyalist Trails\, Stephen’s research has appeared in multiple genealogy periodicals\, a national children’s magazine\, The Beaver\, and a number of Maritime newspapers. \nHe served as a consultant for two websites created by the University of New Brunswick (Black Loyalists in New Brunswick and Loyalist Women in New Brunswick)\, spoke at two national historical conferences\, served as Peter C. Newman’s consultant and researcher\, and authored two books on Black Loyalists. Stephen and his wife live in Lower Sackville\, Nova Scotia\, where they raised two daughters and now enjoy the proximity of their two grandsons.

SUMMARY:Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our new building open house! Have an opportunity to tour the new building and see our plans for renovations. \nEnjoy complimentary refreshments\, tours\, and a raffle. \nSamples of the leaves for our planned Heritage Tree will be available to view. \n\nThe Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives has found a new home in downtown Aylmer\, located at 75 Talbot Street East. We’ve purchased the building\, but will need further funds to renovate our new home. We are requesting your assistance to make this new museum a vital and welcoming presence in our community! \nAylmer and Malahide have a lively and engaging history. From our founding as a museum in 1977\, the AMMA has been a repository for the citizens of these communities to entrust their artifacts\, photographs\, and stories. These have been diligently catalogued\, preserved\, exhibited\, and made available to the community\, researchers\, genealogists\, and historians. Over the past 45 years\, the museum has far exceeded its capacity and has been limited by its present location in how it shares the stories that it holds in trust. \nWe trust you are aware of the important role that museums play in preserving the history of their community. The work of the Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives is largely supported by our generous donors and members who contribute to our museum each year. \nThank you in advance for your support and generosity!

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:Myseum of Toronto Sidewalk Stories Tours 2022: Women of the Ward
DESCRIPTION:Through the captivating stories of four resilient women\, explore two centuries of history in The Ward\, Toronto’s “first immigrant neighbourhood.” This walking tour breathes life into lesser-known chapters in the city’s past with theatrical presentations of the lives of Cecelia Jane Reynolds\, Elizabeth Neufeld\, Annie Whelan\, and Jean Lumb. Led by John Lorinc and Tatum Taylor Chaubal\, witness The Ward like you’ve never seen it before. \nDeveloped in collaboration with John Lorinc and Tatum Taylor Chaubal. \nWHAT TO EXPECT\nDuring the tour\, participants will encounter these four women through a series of live theatrical presentations: \nCecelia Reynolds – a young Black woman who escaped enslavement as a teenager through the Niagara region with the help of the Underground Railroad. Cecelia settled in Toronto’s Ward neighbourhood and started a new life\, all while corresponding with her former enslaver in an attempt to purchase her mother’s freedom.\nWritten by Audrey Dwyer\, Performed by Krystle Chance \nElizabeth Neufeld – a young Jewish social worker who was the executive director of Central Neighbourhood House\, an organization dedicated to bettering the lives of the residents of the Ward. Energetic and outspoken\, Elizabeth advocated for social programs and services for newcomers regardless of ethnicity\, faith\, or creed.\nWritten and Performed by Coleen MacPherson \nAnnie Whelan – a widowed Irish woman who became a bootlegger during the prohibition to support her family. Annie ran a speakeasy out of her own home\, and was able to skirt fines and law enforcement for over two decades of this operation.\nWritten by Ali Joy Richardson\, Performed by Rebecca De La Cour \nJean Lumb – a Chinese restaurateur who was a life-long advocate for the rights of Chinese people in Toronto and Canada.
