SUMMARY:Doors Open Toronto 2022 at John McKenzie House
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Historical Society is pleased to participate again this year in Doors Open Toronto\, on Saturday May 28 and Sunday May 29\, 2022. Please visit us at the historic John McKenzie House at 34 Parkview Avenue in Willowdale\, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.\, with last entry at 4:45 p.m. \nArchitecture\nYear: 1913 \nStyle: Edwardian (1900-1916) \nOriginal Architect: John McKenzie \nBuilding Description\nThe John McKenzie House was built in 1913\, in a style that has been described as Queen Anne Revival\, Arts and Crafts\, and Edwardian. The grand red brick house is profiled by a large L -shaped veranda with stylized Doric columns. Significant interior features include the centre hall plan\, a vestibule door and sidelights with bevelled leaded glass\, a large leaded art glass window that lights the landing of the main staircase\, panelled doors\, and original radiators. \nIn 1993\, the Ontario Historical Society (OHS) entered into a partnership with the former City of North York to preserve and restore the John McKenzie House\, which serves as the provincial headquarters of the OHS. In 2016\, a slate roof restoration project was completed to return the roof back to its original condition. \nVisitor Experience\nVisitors to the John McKenzie House can learn about the history of the house\, which was slated for demolition in the early 1990s. The house was ultimately saved and restored by the Ontario Historical Society (OHS) with support from the local Willowdale community. Hear about the role the John McKenzie House has played in the history of the neighbourhood. \nVisitors will also be able to visit the adjacent buildings and grounds. This includes the Coach House which houses the OHS library\, stable\, and milk house and Parkview Neighbourhood Garden\, where volunteers will be working (weather permitting). Staff of the OHS will also offer insight into how a not-for-profit heritage organization works across Ontario to help protect and preserve our natural and built heritage. \nPhotography / Filming\nInterior photography permitted\, including tripod\nInterior filming permitted\, without tripod \nAccessibility Notes\nRamp access to ground floor at rear entrance.

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Reconciliation: Is it what you thought? With Dr. Cindy Blackstock
DESCRIPTION:An in depth look at inequality\, mythology\, discrimination and action. The importance of history and learning while working toward reconciliation with tie-ins to work that the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society has done to highlight Dr. Bryce’s legacy\, as 2022 will be the 100th anniversary of the publication of “A National Crime.” \nA member of the Gitxsan First Nation\, Cindy is honoured to serve as the Executive Director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society and a professor at McGill University’s School of Social Work. She has over 30 years of experience working in child welfare and Indigenous children’s rights and has published more than 75 articles on topics relating to reconciliation\, Indigenous theory\, First Nations child welfare and human rights. Cindy was honoured to work with First Nations colleagues on a successful human rights challenge to Canada’s inequitable provision of child and family services and failure to implement Jordan’s Principle. This hard-fought litigation has resulted in hundreds of thousands of services being provided to First Nations children\, youth and families. \nShe recently served on the Pan American Health Commission on Health Equity and Inequity and fundamentally believes that culturally-based equity is fundamental to meaningful reconciliation. Cindy is frequently sighted in the company of the Caring Society’s reconciliation Am-bear-rister\, Spirit Bear\, engaging children in meaningful actions to implement the TRC Calls to Action.
