SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Modest Hopes: Homes and Stories of Toronto's Workers by Leslie Valpy
DESCRIPTION:RHS welcomes Leslie Valpy\, a heritage conservationist practitioner and Don Loucks\, a Heritage Architect\, to speak about their recent book\, “Modest Hopes\, Homes and Stories of Toronto’s workers from the 1820s to the 1920s”\, which celebrates Toronto’s built heritage of row houses\, semis\, and cottages and the people who lived in them. \nToronto’s workers’ cottages are often characterized as being small\, cramped\, poorly built\, and in need of modernization or even demolition. But for the workers and their families who originally lived in them from the 1820s to the 1920s\, these houses were far from modest. Many had been driven off their ancestral farms or had left the crowded conditions of tenements in their home cities abroad. Once in Toronto\, many lived in unsanitary conditions in makeshift shanty-towns or cramped shared houses in downtown neighbourhoods such as The Ward. To then move to a self-contained cottage or rowhouse was the result of an unimaginably strong hope for the future and a commitment to family life. \nNote: this is a Zoom presentation. If you are not on our mail list\, send us your request via the “Contact RHS” page.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Oula Seitsonen - Finnish-Canadian Homestead Research
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Oula Seitsonen\, chair in Finnish Studies at Lakehead University\, 2022‑2023. This will be a in-person event that is free to view. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in-person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date.   \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR\nFinnish-Canadian homestead research in the footsteps of archaeologist Sakari Pälsi \nThis lecture describes ongoing contemporary archaeological research on the material heritage of Finnish-Canadian immigrants and on retracing the footsteps of Finnish archaeological pioneer Sakari Pälsi who traveled across Canada in 1927. In October 2022\, my Canadian colleagues and I carried out archaeological\, ethnographic\, and anthropological work at a Finnish homestead in Tarmola\, Gorham Township\, where the great-grandparents of my colleague Meaghan Peuramäki-Brown lived since 1924. This work will be the Canadian part of our cross-Atlantic co-operation: in tandem with the fieldwork at the Kainulainen homestead in Tarmola\, we will study their ancestral farm in eastern Finland. Material culture approach to recent past historical events can reveal new and unexpected perceptions of seemingly familiar subjects\, like everyday lives and foodways\, and even such unanticipated issues as folk magic and beliefs\, as suggested already by our preliminary work. Besides the archaeological work in Tarmola\, I have retraced the travels of famous Finnish archaeologist Sakari Pälsi and his wife across Canada 95 years ago; I have earlier followed Pälsi’s wide-ranging travels in Finland\, Russia\, and Mongolia. On the trip from Quebec to Vancouver Island and back Pälsi visited Finnish communities and homesteads\, logging sites\, bush camps\, and mines\, and documented the lifeways of immigrants and the landscapes that they lived in. Port Arthur\, the “great city of Finns”\, was one of Pälsi’s main destinations on his journey. I have revisited and re-documented most of the locations along Pälsi’s trail\, and also returned his photographs to the local museums along the way. Sakari Pälsi’s insightful ethnographic notes and photographs provide also relevant background material for our multidisciplinary work at the Kainulainen homestead in Tarmola. \nSpeaker Bio \nOula Seitsonen (Sakarin-Pentin Ilarin Oula) is a chair in Finnish Studies at Lakehead University\, 2022‑2023. He is an archaeologist and geographer at the University of Oulu\, Finland\, and his research interests cover a wide range of themes\, both temporally and geographically\, from the archaeology of early pastoralism in Fennoscandia (Sápmi)\, Mongolia\, and East Africa\, to traces of the 21st-century refugee crises. At Lakehead\, he is pursuing a project on the material heritage of Finnish immigrants. Focusing on the 1927 cross-Canada trip of Finnish archaeological pioneer Sakari Pälsi. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

To view the GIANTs stories go to http://www.storycentre.ca/giants-thunder-bay \nPLACES & FACES storytellers will meet other interesting people and make memories! Your video\, with your permission\, will be showcased by the Thunder Bay Museum to help others consider seeking out places that help them connect in their community. \nYou can also participate in this exciting project by submitting a poem\, short story (300 words or less) or recipe that speaks to a meaningful place in your life. \nWhat is the focus of PLACES & FACES? \nOur goal is for storytellers to focus on unconventional places that have helped you foster a sense of connection and belonging to your community. This project will compile stories that will inspire peers and educate younger people about how to connect focusing on place. With senior’s centers and other facilities closing during the pandemic\, we heard many stories about how older adults engaged in placemaking to overcome barriers to social connection\, so stories may include places like: \n–Online: people who have connected to new friends using technology; \n–Grocery store: the solo-living person who engages with shoppers/employees; \n–Portable chair: a person who sets up their chair in a park to chat to people; \n–Laundry room: the person who strikes up conversation with neighbours in the laundry room in their building; \n–Neighbourhood: the neighbour who opened her apartment door to play the piano for her neighbours to listen from their apartments\, or a walking route that you discovered in your area; \n–Historic places:  a building that a person worked in or lived in like the former Eaton’s store\, a municipal outdoor pool that you helped to build\, or a hospital where your children were born. \nWhat is Placemaking? \nPlacemaking is often concerned with planning\, designing\, and managing “public spaces in ways that promote people’s health\, happiness\, and well-being.”  Emerging research is now focusing on placemaking as ways that people “transform physical spaces into socially relevant and meaningful places.”  Through this storytelling project\, we hope to capture stories that highlight how older adults in Thunder Bay are actively creating and negotiating their sense of place as they age. \nWhat is the goal of PLACES & FACES? \nPLACES & FACES is to celebrate and learn from the storytellers by giving you a platform to share.  We’ll gather and share your stories to inspire others\, young and old alike\, to find or create places and connections that matter.  We’ll help you ever step of the way but the final story that you choose to share is your story. \nWhat do I do during the Digital Storytelling Workshop? \nYou’ll attend a 3-day in-person session from December 1 to 3rd at the Thunder Bay Museum\, 425 Donald Street East where you will participate in story circles and with the help of our facilitator and fabulous coaches\, you will make a personal 3-minute (300 word) video using photos\, a script (approximately 250-300 word script)\, and perhaps music and/or sounds. You do not need to have any computer experience to take part! Meals will be provided. There is no cost to participate. \nI’m Interested! Who do I Contact? \nDigital story tellers will be chosen from a pool of interested candidates. We will select 7 digital storytellers to participate in the December 1\, 2\, and 3 creation workshop and at least 10 written stories (300 words or less) and/or poems and or/recipes. \nIf you have a story to tell\, and want to discuss the project\, please contact: \nNancy Angus\, nancy@agebig.com or 807-627-3564 or Dannielle Pesheau at education@thunderbaymuseum.ca. \nTo apply\, please register at https://thunderbaymuseum1.wildapricot.org/event-5021593.

SUMMARY:Streetsville Historical Society: Ted Barris on The Battle of the Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:Ted Barris will be a guest speaker Thursday December 1\, 2022 at 7:00 pm upstairs at the Streetsville Legion Branch 139. He will be speaking on his newly published book\, The Battle of the Atlantic\, the longest battle of WWII and one which involved many Canadian veterans.  He says he wrote it while we were all confined by Covid. The last time he spoke at the Legion there was an enthusiastic turnout so we are looking forward to his return.  He has been publicly commended by Canadian vets for stressing the accomplishments of Canadians in service. In the 20th century’s greatest war\, one battlefield held the key to victory or defeat – the North Atlantic. It took 2\,074 days and nights to  determine its outcome\, but the Battle of the Atlantic proved the turning point of the Second World War. \nIn 1939\, Canada’s navy went to war with exactly 13 warships and about 3\,500 sailors. During the desperate Atlantic crossings\, the RCN grew to 400 fighting ships and over 100\,000 men and women in uniform. By V-E Day in 1945\, it had become the 4th largest navy in the world. The Battle of the Atlantic proved to be Canada’s longest continuous military engagement of the war. The story of Canada’s naval awakening in the bloody battle to get convoys to Britain\, is a Canadian wartime saga for the ages. Ted Barris has published 19 non-fiction books\, half of them wartime histories. His book The Great Escape: A Canadian Story won the 2014 Libris Award as Best Non-Fiction Book in Canada. His book Dam Busters: Canadian Airmen and the Secret Raid Against Nazi Germany received the 2019 NORAD Trophy from the RCAF Association. And his book Rush to Danger: Medics in the Line of Fire was listed for the 2020 Charles Taylor Prize for Non-Fiction in Canada. Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory is Ted’s 20th published non-fiction book. \nFor information call 905-826-7198 or 905-814-5958\nRefreshments Served\nAll are welcome\, free of charge

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual and In-Person): December 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“A Biography of Charles William Jefferys” — Presentation by Richard Fiennes-Clinton \nIn-person and on Zoom; Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcrcu2hqjMpH9U-HYnzfkzJwg6_0TokV_Gv \nCharles William Jefferys was an illustrator who is best remembered for his drawings\, sketches and paintings of Canadian history. In the 1920s\, 1930s and 1940s\, he published several books of meticulously researched historical imagery. This work included information about the United Empire Loyalists. Later critics have objected that Jefferys’ work is “too old fashioned”\, or not culturally sensitive enough. In this biography\, we will examine this part of his legacy too\, and explore the lasting value of Jeffery’s work. \nRichard Fiennes-Clinton has operated an historical walking tour company called “Muddy York Walking Tours” for many years. He is also the recent author of a book on Toronto’s early history called Muddy York: A History of Toronto Until 1834. \nRichard has made a number of presentations to Gov. Simcoe Branch on a variety of topics related to the history of Toronto. The well-researched content is presented on numerous slides; his rapid presentation style allows him to cover a lot of material. \nThe meeting will take place in the downstairs meeting room at St. David’s Church\, 49 Donlands (please note\, NOT St. David’s Towers at 51 Donlands).\nIf you plan to attend in person\, RSVP to Anne Neuman at anneneuman@hotmail.com or 905-888-1278.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society: Tales of Christmas Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 8th for a festive evening as we learn about the Christmas traditions of days gone by! \nMany of us who celebrate Christmas have traditions that we feel are steeped and time honoured. But most of them aren’t as old as we might think. Hardly any of the Christmas traditions that we know today were widely celebrated when the Town of York was founded back in 1793\, and can instead be dated to the Victorian era. But we’ll also look back at a time\, before the Town of York even started\, that Christmas was outlawed and celebrating it was illegal. Whether you’re passionate about putting up the Christmas decorations\, or like to channel your inner Scrooge\, you’ll be sure to find something of interest in this presentation! \nAbout the Speaker: \nRichard Fiennes-Clinton has been involved in the local Toronto historical community for over 30 years. He gives walking tours all across Toronto\, but has also organized a lot of archival material\, which he uses to give illustrated talks on more than 200 years of Toronto history. He is also the author of a book called “Muddy York – A History of Toronto Until 1834”\, copies of which are available for purchase at Toronto’s First Post Office.
