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.
