SUMMARY:CBHA/ACHA Talks Presents Pandemics and Business (History): Lessons from the Past
DESCRIPTION:The 1918-20 influenza pandemic has been cited often as one of the few relatively recent events that is comparable to the current pandemic. Coming between the end of the Great War and the Roaring Twenties\, the 1918-20 pandemic had a profound impact upon a generation of Canadians already scarred by the trauma of war. What lessons can we learn from this earlier episode that might provide clues as to how our current situation with COVID-19 may develop\, not just in terms of the social and political response\, but in its impact upon the economy and business? \nBringing medical\, social and business history together\, join us for a discussion with Professors Magda Fahrni of the Université du Québec à Montréal\, Dimitry Anastakis from the University of Toronto and James Onusko from Northern Lakes College on what the pandemics of the past can tell us about how the economy and business are shaped by major health crises.

SUMMARY:Christmas in the Town of York 2020
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 17th for a festive evening as we learn about the Christmas traditions of days gone by! \nAbout this Event:\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.

SUMMARY:CBHA Talk: Professor Brian Gettler\, "Unmaking the Made Beaver: Money and Monopoly in the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Fur Trade"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Brian Gettler\, “Unmaking the Made Beaver: Money and Monopoly in the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Fur Trade” \nBrian Gettler is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Toronto. \nHis several articles and book chapters focus on the political and socioeconomic history of colonialism in Quebec and Canada. Brian’s new book\, Colonialism’s Currency: Money\, State\, and First Nations in Canada\, 1820-1950\, analyzes the distinct experiences of three First Nations alongside the monetary dimensions of British and Canadian Indian policy and corporate policy in the fur trade. Rather than focusing on the perhaps obvious ways in which wealth shaped politics\, it concentrates on money as both a symbol around which discourses of appropriate behaviour were articulated and as a concrete tool in the governance of peoples and lands. \nHis current research explores public finance and Crown-First Nations fiscal relations as well as Indigenous participation in the credit economy of the St. Lawrence Valley\, both in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. \nAttendees will need to register to attend. Participants can attend the AGM and/or the CBHA/ACHA Talks presentation. All registered participants will be given login information on January 19th.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Dr. Tim Cook: "Forgetting\, Remembering and Remaking Canada's Second World War"
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, best-selling author Tim Cook will talk about his book\, The Fight for History\, and will discuss the strange way that Canada chose to ignore for decades its epic contributions during the Second World War. Despite 1.1 million Canadians who served in uniform\, and millions more who supported the total war effort from the home front\, Canada rapidly left the war behind\, publishing few histories\, building fewer monuments\, and advancing into the prosperous second half of the twentieth century\, Dr. Cook will talk about the neglect of our Second World War history until quite recently\, and highlight the key role of veterans in reclaiming this important legacy of service and sacrifice. \nDr. Cook is the acting director of historical research at the Canadian War Museum. He was the curator of the museum’s First World War permanent gallery and he has curated numerous temporary\, travelling and digital exhibitions. Cook is the author or editor of 13 books and they have won the C.P. Stacey Prize for Military History (twice)\, the Ottawa Book Prize (three times)\, the RBC Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction\, and the L.W. Dafoe Book Prize (twice). In 2012\, Dr. Cook was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to Canadian history and in 2013 the Governor-General’s History Prize. He is a frequent commentator in the media\, a member of the Royal Society of Canada\, and a Member of the Order of Canada. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:Catharine Parr Traill on Enjoying and Surviving a Canadian Winter
DESCRIPTION:Catharine Parr Traill’s genteel life in England did not prepare her at all for life on the frontier in Ontario in the mid-1800s. But one of the ways she found to support her family in her new world was to write about her experience for other immigrants. Her writings both public and private deal with the many joys and tribulations of the wintery backwoods in early Canada. \nTraill had practical advice for her readers\, from maintaining a yeast supply to choosing a parlour stove to sewing a warm cloak. She revealed much about bottling\, pickling\, smoking and hunting foods for the mid-nineteenth century pantry\, then making winter meals. Her how-to advice benefited many immigrants unprepared for the cold and ice\, as she had been once unprepared\, but she also came to love the sparkling snow in her Canadian wilderness. \nFiona Lucas\, who with Nathalie Cooke\, co-edited Catharine Parr Traill’s Female Emigrant’s Guide: Cooking with a Canadian Classic (2017)\, speaks knowledgeably and entertainingly on Traill’s experience and writings. Her half hour presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

SUMMARY:Myseum of Toronto Presents "Beyond Just Words: A Land Acknowledgement Workshop"
DESCRIPTION:A participatory workshop that explores our relationship(s) to land acknowledgements and re-evaluates how we can make them more meaningful. \nYou’ve heard them before. From attending an event in the city\, or hearing one online you hear: “Welcome\, thank you for coming”\, a brief land acknowledgement read from their phone is recited for the one hundredth time\, and finally housekeeping notes before the event begins. And while what land acknowledgements represent are beyond important\, they can often feel impersonal and superficial. \nJoin facilitators Leslie McCue and Lindy Kinoshameg for this virtual “hands on” participatory workshop where you will learn: \nThe history of agreements and treaties that were made and broken. \n\nPronunciations of Nations.\nExamining who you are\, and your relationship with the land that sustains you.\nYou will have the opportunity to work independently and in small groups (Zoom breakout rooms) to explore\, research\, and develop a more meaningful connection when you are acknowledging and caring for this land.\n\nThis workshop aims to not only help you look beyond your current relationship with land acknowledgements\, but realize deeper possibilities for them; enhancing your appreciation for and understanding of Indigenous histories and cultures. \nWhile this workshop provides some necessary knowledge and resources\, it is intended to be an entry point into lifelong learning. \nFor more information\, please visit this website: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/beyond-just-words-a-land-acknowledgement-workshop-tickets-141885269661.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Marc Seguin: "The Lighthouses of Kingston: Guiding Ships through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario\, 1828 to 1914"
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the 19th century\, Kingston was the most important shipping port on the Great Lakes and ships sailing to or from Lake Ontario had to navigate through some of the world’s most dangerous waters\, an area that became known as “the graveyard of Lake Ontario.” Over the course of 85 years\, more than 45 lighthouses were built on the Canadian side of eastern Lake Ontario. These aids to navigation contributed immeasurably to the prosperity of Kingston and to the economic development of Canada. This talk is drawn from the speaker’s book For Want of a Lighthouse: Guiding Ships Through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario. \nMarc Seguin brings his lifelong interest in history together with a passion for Canada’s built heritage to this talk on the early lighthouses of Kingston and eastern Lake Ontario. Marc holds a degree in history from the University of Western Ontario and is a founding member of the lighthouse preservation organization “Save Our Lighthouses.” He has authored two books focusing on Lake Ontario: For Want of a Lighthouse: Guiding Ships through the Graveyard of Lake Ontario & The Cruise of The Breeze: The Journal and Life of a Victorian Soldier in Canada. Marc lives on the shores of Wellers Bay in Prince Edward County with his wife and two sons.
