SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society (In-Person and Virtual): "Schooling the System: A History of Black Women Teachers" with Dr. Funke Aladejebi
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce the speakers and dates for the Town of York Historical Society’s “Annual Author Series”! Presentations will begin promptly at 7pm and will be followed by a short question and answer period. This year\, you have the option between joining us via Zoom or in-person. \nAbout this event: \nDr. Funké Aladejebi will speak about her most recently published book\, Schooling the System: A History of Black Women Teachers and her exploration of the intersections between race\, gender and access in Canadian educational institutions. \n“Using oral narratives to tell the story of black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s\, Schooling the System provides textured insight into how issues of race\, gender\, class\, geographic origin\, and training shaped women’s distinct experiences within the profession. By valuing women’s voices and lived experiences\, Dr. Funké Aladejebi illustrates that black women\, as a diverse group\, made vital contributions to the creation and development of anti-racist education in Canada.” \nAbout the Author: \nFunké Aladejebi is a scholar of the twentieth century with a specialization in Black Canadian history. In addition to being the author of her newly published book\, Schooling the System\, she is also the co-editor of Unsettling the Great White North: Black Canadian History. Her work explores the importance of Black Canadian women in sustaining their communities and preserving a distinct Black identity within restrictive gender and racial barriers. Dr. Aladejebi has been involved in a variety of community engagement and social justice initiatives in Toronto and her research interests are in oral history\, the history of education in Canada\, Black feminist thought and transnationalism.

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society Presents "Sir Frederick Banting: The Man You Thought You Knew"
DESCRIPTION:Grant Maltman\, the Curator of the Banting House National Historic Site of Canada in London\, Ontario\, will be speaking on the subject of Sir Frederick Banting: The Man You Thought You Knew. \nMost of us know of Sir Frederick Banting (1895-1941) as the co-discoverer of insulin\, but there is much more to his story! Frederick Banting once wrote\, “Insulin was but a means to an end”. After receiving Canada’s first Nobel Prize\, insulin did indeed become a means to an end for him. Unfortunately for Banting\, that end was a legacy from which he often desperately attempted to distance himself. \nThe story of Frederick Banting is well known but not necessarily known well. While his name has become synonymous with the discovery of insulin\, there was far more to this distinguished Canadian’s career than the often-simplified events of the insulin period. Grant Maltman will highlight the centenary of insulin and introduce other aspects of Banting’s life and career\, including his service in both World Wars\, his use of art as an escape\, and his role as a catalyst for Canada’s military and medical research programmes. \nWe suggest that you tune in to the meeting shortly before 8 pm on November 2\, so that we can get started on time. \nZoom info: \nTime: Nov 2\, 2022 08:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nTo join the Zoom Meeting\, go to:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86074430910?pwd=S2xDTVVQc0NoaEl3MmZYSU9rdnJqQT09 \nMeeting ID: 860 7443 0910\nPasscode: 172555 \nTo join by telephone\, find your local number at:  https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcohQYhyAK

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society (In-Person and Virtual): "An Unrecognized Contribution: Women & their work in 19th Century Toronto" with Elizabeth Gillian Muir
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce the speakers and dates for the Town of York Historical Society’s “Annual Author Series”! Presentations will begin promptly at 7pm and will be followed by a short question and answer period. This year\, you have the option between joining us via Zoom or in-person. \nAbout this event: \nElizabeth Gillian Muir will speak about her newly released book\, An Unrecognized Contribution: Women and their Work in early 19th century Toronto\, highlighting scores of women and the work they undertook during a period of great change for the city. \n“Women in nineteenth-century Toronto were integral to the life of the growing city. They contributed to the city’s commerce and were owners of stores\, factories\, brickworks\, market gardens\, hotels\, and taverns; as musicians\, painters\, and writers\, they were a large part of the city’s cultural life; and as nurses\, doctors\, religious workers\, and activists they strengthened the city’s safety net for those who were most in need. Their stories are told in this wide-ranging collection of biographies\, the result of Muir’s search of early street directories\, the first city histories\, personal diaries\, and other documents.” \nAbout the author: \nElizabeth (Liz) Gillian Muir has taught Canadian history at Waterloo University and the University of Toronto. She has written extensively about women in Upper Canada and in addition to writing non-fiction for adults\, she has also published a series of children’s books. Elizabeth holds degrees from Queen’s University\, the Harvard Business School\, and a Ph.D from McGill University.

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Barbara Dickson\, "Bomb Girls: Trading Aprons for Ammo"
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\nBarbara Dickson is a professionally-trained public speaker\, local historian\, and award-winning author in both fiction and non-fiction. During the Second World War\, over 21\,000 patriotic citizens\, predominately women\, courageously worked with high explosives. Barbara provides an account of women working in high-security\, dangerous conditions making bombs in Toronto during the Second World War. For over a four-year period they filled munitions for the Allied Forces at a top-secret facility located in Scarborough\, Ontario. \nSome 170 buildings comprised the site along with over four kilometres of secretive tunnels\, which remain as mysterious today as they did years ago. What was it like to work in a munitions factory during the Second World War? Barbara’s comprehensive presentation focuses not only on the breadth of the war-time endeavour but also on the amazing women who worked there. This little-known military story about Canada’s bomb girls—the girls behind the guns—will appeal to every Canadian who honours those who fought for their freedom both overseas and here at home. \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
