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:Kingston Historical Society Presents Victoria Cosby: "Kingston through Her Eyes: Harriett Dobbs Cartwright and Her Adopted Home"
DESCRIPTION:Harriett Dobbs Cartwright emigrated from Dublin. Ireland to Upper Canada upon her marriage to Anglican minister Robert David Cartwright in 1832. Her voluminous correspondence chronicles her active engagement in the local affairs of her new ‘home’ in the colony of Upper Canada: as a wife\, as a mother\, and as a social activist.

She volunteered in the Female Benevolent Society and Orphans’ and Widows’ Friend Society\, through which she contributed to the establishment of such major Kingston institutions as Kingston General Hospital\, St. George’s Anglican Church\, the Kingston Penitentiary\, and Rockwood Asylum for the Insane. Harriett Dobbs Cartwright’s contributions to the community have had a lasting impact on the city of Kingston as we know it today. \nVictoria Crosby is a fourth year doctoral student in the Queen’s History Department. Her research interests include nineteenth-century Canadian women\, the British World\, as well as gender and sexuality studies. She is currently working on a biography of Harriett Dobbs Cartwright. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

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.
