SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society Presents Heather Home & Janice McAlpine: "Community Archiving: the Kingston LGBTQ Archives as Collaborative Model"
DESCRIPTION:Community archiving is a documentation strategy aimed at working with a community to create archives\, the objective being to have stories of the past told by those intimately involved in the activities\, and resulting outcomes\, of that lived experience. It is not about establishing a history; it is about revealing a history. The presenters will look at this type of community work in the ground-breaking creation of the Kingston LGBTQ collection at the Queen’s University Archives. \nHeather Home is an archivist at Queen’s University specializing in cultural and social records; Janice McAlpine is a Kingston community member. \nTo register\, and to receive all the details of how to connect\, please email Paul van Nest at pvannest@cogeco.ca.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum: Virtual Film Screening: The Ties That Bind + Q&A
DESCRIPTION:With the Foundation to Commemorate the Chinese Railroad Workers in Canada\, we’re proud to present the next event in our 2021 lecture series \nAbout This Event\nJoin us on May 13 for a screening of the Foundation to Commemorate the Chinese Railroad Workers in Canada (FCCRWC)’s film\, The Ties that Bind with a post-show Q&A with a representative from the Foundation and Toronto Railway Museum historians. The Ties That Bind preserves a seldom told part of Canada’s history and we are pleased to present the film as we celebrate Asian Heritage Month in May. \nAbout Ties that Bind\nBetween 1881 and 1885\, over 17\,000 Chinese men came to Canada to work as labourers on the construction of the western section of the transcontinental railroad. Today\, many Chinese Canadians are direct descendants of these men. The Ties That Bind: Building the CPR\, Building a Place in Canada tells their story\, and how their forebears contributed to nation building. \nThe famous “Last Spike” photograph tells only one part of the story. The people looking at the camera are white. Not one Chinese man is present. In this final moment\, the story of the Chinese railway worker – their labour\, sacrifice\, and struggles – is omitted from the historical record. \nThe Ties That Bind examines the struggle of the Chinese Canadian community to establish an identity and roots in Canada. Through archival evidence and research about the men who came from China to build the transcontinental railway in the 1880s\, and the use of oral testimony of their descendants\, The Ties That Bind preserves a seldom told part of Canada’s history.

SUMMARY:Uncertain Harvest: The Future of Food on a Warming Planet
DESCRIPTION:Ian Mosby and Sarah Rotz talk about how to eat our way out of a mess in Uncertain Harvest: The Future of Food on a Warming Planet \nAbout this Event\nA menu for an edible future. \nIn a world expected to reach a staggering population of 10 billion by 2050\, and with global temperatures rising fast\, humanity must fundamentally change the way it grows and consumes food. In their new book\, Uncertain Harvest\, authors Ian Mosby and Sarah Rotz bring together scientists\, chefs\, activists\, entrepreneurs\, farmers\, philosophers\, and engineers working on the global future of food to answer questions on how to make a more equitable\, safe\, sustainable\, and plentiful food future. \nAs a historian and as a social scientist\, Mosby and Rotz look to the past to help us better understand our culinary future. They explore our ongoing history of mostly failed predictions and use that to look at contemporary predictions of a food future dominated by robot farms\, cultured meats and photosynthesis-hacked GM rice. \nJoin us for an engaging Zoom presentation by the two authors\, followed by a Q&A period. Save today on the ticket price by becoming a member of the Culinary Historians of Canada and continue to save on future events! \nParticipants will receive a coupon code to receive a 15% discount on the book from the publisher.

SUMMARY:History of Millinery in Canada – A Show and Talk with Norma Shephard
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nJoin Mobile Millinery Museum director Norma Shephard for a discussion of 20th Century Canadian Millinery Designers. Among other discoveries\, learn which designer is considered by experts to have been the greatest in Canadian history and why; which designer had a reputation for making any woman look beautiful; and which Canadian millinery designers are excelling at their craft today. \nAbout the Presenter: \nNorma Shephard is the founder and director of the Mobile Millinery Museum\, a unique travelling museum whose “working hats” have raised funds for diverse causes; from homeless teens in rural Ontario\, to cancer research and diagnostic equipment\, to a women’s and children’s shelter in Israel. Shephard’s use of hats\, shoes\, and bridal gowns as cultural story blocks to prompt the telling of tales\, myths\, and legends transforms audience members into folklore informants\, eager to share their own reminiscences. \nRecognized as an historian and authority on vintage costume\, Shephard has appeared on Canada A.M.\, CBC Morning\, CBC Fresh Air\, CBC Ontario Today\, CH Morning Live\, Breakfast Television\, Canadian Living Television\, This Morning Live\, Main Street\, CKCO\, The Source\, and Neighbour to Neighbour and has been featured in numerous print media. Shephard is the subject of a biography by Patricia Boyle\, entitled The Hat Lady. “What Martha has done for the domestic arts\, Norma is doing for museum curatorship\,” says Boyle. “She has taken material history out of the archives and into the community\, presenting it in new and exciting ways. When I realized that Norma was being recognized internationally I knew it was time for a book.” \nIn 1985 she earned a Canadian Achiever’s Award for entrepreneurship and since founding her museum in 1999\, has penned and photographed Accessorizing the Bride; Vintage Wedding Finery Through the Decades (Schiffer Publishing)\, 1000 Hats (Schiffer Publishing)\, In Step With Fashion: 200 Years of Shoe Styles (Schiffer Publishing)\, Lingerie; Two Centuries of Luscious Design (Schiffer Publishing) and Dear Harry; The Firsthand Account of a World War I Infantryman. Col. Gordon Atkinson\, retired\, said of Dear Harry\, “…fascinating and evocative of war … a tome of obvious labour and love. Tim Cook\, First World War Historian at the Canadian War Museum and author of Shock Troops said\, “As a student of Canadian history your book was a thrilling opportunity to gain insight into a little taught era in our heritage.” \nAs an editor and writing coach\, Shephard has assisted others in achieving their dream of being published. She writes regularly on the subject of history for Canadian and American magazines\, and her latest book for Schiffer Publishing\, Darlings of Dress; Children’s Costume 1860-1920 is available now from Schiffer Books and amazon.com.

SUMMARY:North York Historical Society May 2021 Meeting: “SNATCHED! The Unusual Kidnapping of Beer Tycoon John Labatt” with Susan Goldenberg
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Susan Goldenberg\, NYHS Director \nThe kidnapping in 1934 of John Sackville Labatt\, president of the big internationally well-known Labatt’s beer company\, of London\, Ontario\, set several firsts in Canadian history. Labatt was the first important Canadian to be kidnapped\, the first to be kidnapped for a high ransom\, equivalent to $3 million today. It was the first kidnapping in Canada to come to trial. Kidnapping is a very serious\, nasty crime and a wrong man was convicted. \nBut there was also bizarre humour which made it a very unusual kidnapping.

SUMMARY:Revisiting Colonial Dinnerware with Sequoia Miller
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nA collection of ceramic tableware on view in Toronto’s Gardiner Museum depicts idealized scenes of nineteenth-century Canadian life. Manufactured in England\, these objects and others like them participated in the colonial project by imagining and asserting both national and colonial identities. In this virtual program\, Sequoia Miller\, Chief Curator at the Gardiner\, will discuss how seemingly decorative objects such as these engage complex questions around colonialism\, political economy\, and cultural authority. Dr. Miller will also consider the role of museums in offering new and critical interpretive strategies for thinking through problematic historical objects. \nAbout the Presenter: \nSequoia Miller is a historian\, curator\, and studio potter. He is the Chief Curator at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art\, Toronto. Miller holds a PhD in the History of Art from Yale University; an MA from the Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts\, Design History\, and Material Culture; and a BA in Russian from Brandeis University. Recent curatorial projects include RAW and Ai Weiwei: Unbroken at the Gardiner and The Ceramic Presence in Modern Art at the Yale University Art Gallery. Before re-entering academia\, Miller was a full-time studio potter based in the Pacific Northwest.

SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections Festival | ChinaTOwn: Virtual Exhibition Launch
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Linda Zhang\, Assistant Professor at Ryerson’s School of Interior Design (RSID) at FCAD\, along with a class of fourth-year RSID students\, this immersive and interactive project seeks to identify Chinatown’s future heritage(s) through the affects produced by interior architecture\, lived experience\, collective storytelling\, atmosphere\, and memory. Through a conceptual digital exhibition\, we seek to uncover untold stories and build a collective\, intersectional vision for the future heritage(s) of Toronto’s Chinatowns. \nEach of the projects featured in ChinaTOwn explores what marginalized communities have known for some time—namely\, that all that is written is not necessarily all that is\, and what is remembered extends far beyond what is recorded. ChinaTOwn tells the forgotten stories\, willful omissions\, and accumulation of silences that exist beyond Toronto’s official heritage definition of its Chinatown neighbourhoods. The project aims to put personal stories and individual memory in conversation with state-sanctioned narratives. \nJoin us for the exhibition launch event to hear from the artist and designers themselves and delve deeper into the histories and ideas behind their projects.

SUMMARY:Little Wanderers: A Literary History of the British Home Children in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lennox and Addington County Museum and Archives \nBetween 1863 and 1939 as many as 118\,000 children came to Canada under a British program of child migration. These “Home Children” journeyed to Canada from the UK in search of a better life. Following the advice and help of Victorian social reformers\, these little migrants hoped to leave behind a life of poverty and/or class discrimination limiting their opportunities and happiness in the Old World. In Canada\, the children were often sent to work on farms or in domestic service. They would have a profound role in shaping the future of their adopted countries. Many went on to have their own farms or businesses; some dedicated themselves to defense of their country in war; a majority stayed in Canada and had families of their own. Indeed\, some estimate that as many as one in ten Ontarians are descendant from Home Children. Sadly\, this history is not always happy; many of the children were abused\, neglected\, and exploited by appalling working conditions and poor wages. \nBut why was migration viewed as a reasonable solution to poverty in the first place\, and why was Canada the selected destination for these displaced youth? Our presentation on the “Little Wanderers” seeks to answer these questions by looking at some of the influential literature from the period. We will discuss works by prominent social reformers documenting the dire situation of the working-class and poor people in the Victorian city. We will also consider how the idea of child migration might have been normalized by Victorian children’s adventure fiction – with their tales celebrating colonialism as a means to self-reform and social belonging. Our talk on the “Little Wanderers” will conclude with a selection of texts specifically depicting the experiences and reception of the Home Children in Canada\, including the legacy of these young migrants in their adoptive country. \nAbout the Presenter: \nBrooke Cameron is Associate Professor of English at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario. She is the author of Critical Alliances: Economics and Feminism in English Women’s Writing\, 1880-1914 (University of Toronto Press\, 2020)\, as well as multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on gender and economic themes in Victorian literature. Her current research on the British Home Children in Canada is supported by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant (SSHRC). She and her graduate student\, Alicia Alves\, recently developed a virtual archive of the library history surrounding the Home Children (also titled\, “Little Wanderers”). Cameron is at work writing a book project on Victorian social reformers and child migrants. \nAlicia Alves is a PhD Candidate at Queen’s University in Kingston\, Ontario. Her work focuses on Victorian and Edwardian children’s literature\, but she is also interested in children’s literature more broadly. She has published an article and a book chapter on this topic\, and is currently completing a dissertation on “A Child’s Best Friend: Human-Animal Hybridity in Late-Victorian and Edwardian Children’s Literature.” Alves was co-creator with Dr. Brooke Cameron of a SSHRC-funded virtual library display focusing on children’s literature and the Home Children for the W. D. Jordan Special Collections at Queen’s University Library.

SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections 2021: ChinaTOwn: Future Heritage(s) of Toronto’s Chinatowns
DESCRIPTION:A digital symposium exploring the past\, present\, and possible futures of how we define and develop chinatowns. \nWhat could the heritage future of chinatown look like? The ChinaTOwn digital symposium\, presented by Prof. Linda Zhang of Ryerson School of Interior Design at FCAD\, will begin the discussion by looking at the history and origins of architectural motifs that we now recognize in chinatowns today. \nFrom the first Chinatown in San Francisco\, to the world’s fairs that fascinated visitors with false portrayals of Chinese culture\, the symposium will explore exactly what defines the “Chinatown-ness” that we know today\, and how we arrived at that definition. \nThe symposium will also introduce some of the realities and challenges faced by Toronto’s existing chinatowns today\, as businesses are forced to move out and new policies affect the livelihood of these communities. These findings will be presented as part of our speakers’ bodies of work\, art and activism. \nThroughout the symposium the project will connect back to the exhibit installations to help us respond and develop what a heritage future might look like for chinatowns in Toronto. \nFor more information and to register please visit: http://www.myseumoftoronto.com/programming/myseum-intersections-chinatown-future-heritages-of-torontos-chinatowns/

SUMMARY:The Crowd Went Wild! Canadian Baseball's Love Affair with the Railway
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next online lecture in our 2021 series! Discover the role the railways played in popularizing baseball in Canada. \nJoin us on June 17 for the next online lecture in our 2021 series: The Crowd Went Wild! Presented by Canada’s premier baseball historian\, William Humber\, discover the role the railways played in popularizing baseball in Canada. \nCanadian baseball’s biggest myth is how Americans imposed it on us. Not so! We shared with them the modern game’s evolution from its folk roots. In some ways\, Canadians had an even bigger role. The railway system brought this early role to full maturity. Its independent growth in Ontario\, between 1854-1873\, was railway reliant. Railway porters were likely the first African-Canadian team in 1869. In 1934\, Babe Ruth started his epical trip to Japan with a rail stopover in Moose Jaw. The crowd on a Saskatchewan platform went wild! \nTo this day the GO train or subway takes most people to Blue Jays games and the VIA stopover in St. Marys Ontario is a homerun drive to Canada’s Baseball Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:Coptic Museum of Canada Workshop (on Zoom): Making Music with Bottles!
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a fun and creative experience! \n\nSitting at home during lockdown looking for a fun activity to do with friends and family?\nWanted to play music but not sure how to start?\nDon’t read music notes and don’t have a musical instrument?\n\nNot to worry\, we can teach you how to make your own instrument\, tune it and enjoy playing your own music! \nWHAT YOU WILL NEED: \n\n5\, 6 or 7 glass bottles (pop\, beer\, water)\n355 ml (12oz) bottles\, should all be the same size\nWater jug\nDownload free app: Tuner Lite\n\nTo safely resume its activities during the pandemic\, the Coptic Museum of Canada has decided to offer workshops through the Zoom platform. \nThe first workshop will be held on Saturday June 19 from 1-2pm: Making Music with Bottles! facilitated by Nagaty Banayoty who together with his friends came up with the idea of playing music by whistling into bottles when they were university students in Egypt and could not afford an instrument. The idea was an instant success! They performed concerts for over five years and were eventually able to purchase a set hand bells. \nOnce in Canada\, Nagaty joined the Ingram Ringers. He also runs groups of hand bell ringers and bottle whistlers! Handbells and bottle whistling are not a Coptic heritage but Nagaty’s story illustrates his creativity and is an example of cross-cultural engagement. \nThe workshop is free for anyone from Grade 7 to seniors. \nThis is an introductory workshop with demonstrations of how you can make music with (recycled) bottles! There will be breaks to ask questions. \nPreregistration is required: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdw8yJ9faSeF4_V2Oa9PQfRPVVkpmSNS932JeRX1sCIBzOkgA/viewform \nRegistration deadline: June 13\, 2021

SUMMARY:Myseum: From Weeds We Grow: Birch Bark Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a Birch Bark Basket making workshop which is part of the STEPS Public Art “From Weeds We Grow” series. \nLed by First Nations artist Lindsey Lickers\, this workshop is a reflective exercise that not only allows participants to not only participate through creation\, but to dive deeper into their current relationship with the land base they reside on and the environment at large. This workshop will also explore how this relationship with the land has been strengthened by the knowledge learned and shared during the workshop. \nRooted in an expanded understanding of the importance of connecting to land\, creation utilizing natural materials combined with personalized symbolism of these learnings\, will be actualized through the medium of basket making. \nThe aim of this workshop is to share one way that Indigenous peoples honour this relationship through craft and provide an opportunity for participants to experience first-hand the interconnectedness in all things\, while also honouring their own experiences\, histories and relationships with the basket serving as the keeper of this new awareness. \nWe welcome those who don’t want to or are unable to participate in the making process\, but want to learn more\, to join. \nFollowing this workshop participants will have created a miniature birch bark basket used in medicine gathering. An online exhibit will present the final work alongside the creative process and learnings. \nFor more information and to register please visit: http://www.myseumoftoronto.com/programming/from-weeds-we-grow-birch-bark-basket-workshop/.

SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections Festival | Reimagining ChinaTOwn in 2050: Virtual Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:What will become of Toronto’s Chinatown(s)? Reimagining ChinaTOwn is a collection of eleven speculative fiction stories set in 2050 that boldly reimagines the future of Chinatown as a shared and collective vision. \nWritten during the COVID-19 pandemic in the early months of 2020\, each story explores a personal relationship to Chinatown in the context of the rising anti-Asian sentiment and growing uncertainty for Chinatown’s future. As the community authors speculate on the future in 2050\, their stories offer a visionary act of resistance by uncovering new possible futures and bringing to light untold pasts. Chinatown itself is an illumination of the histories of diasporas for those who know how to see. It is both a place and a condition; between generations\, between patterns of immigration\, between identities\, between others\, between countries. By envisioning Chinatown anew\, the stories create a radically more generous and expansive present moment by building a collective and shared vision for the future of Toronto’s Chinatowns. \nWith contributions by Eva Chu\, Helen Ngo\, Amelia Gan\, Emperatriz Ung\, Michael Chong\, Georgia Barrington\, Tiffany Lam\, Razan Samara\, Amy Yan\, Evelne Lam\, and Robert Tin. Each short story is illustrated and accompanied by a virtual reality (VR) companion. Organized by Linda Zhang.

SUMMARY:Packaged Toronto: Vintage Food Packaging & The Companies Behind Them
DESCRIPTION:Vintage historic food & drink packaging and the companies behind them from Toronto’s early days. From the exiting new book Packaged Toronto! \nResearcher and writer Jamie Bradburn will talk about historical food and drink packaging and the companies behind them as featured in a new book from the publishers of Spacing magazine: Packaged Toronto: A Collection of the City’s Historic Design. \nIn Packaged Toronto\, Spacing’s writers teamed up with City of Toronto museum curators to reveal a treasure trove of early local package design from the City’s vast collection. Through detailed photography and historical essays focused on an underserved period of Canadian design\, Packaged Toronto takes readers on a journey back in time to the period between 1870 and 1950 to witness the emergence of the city’s aesthetic. Jamie Bradburn focuses on some of the companies and products from this period\, from Mr. Christie’s Cookie Tin for Soldiers to Harry Horne’s Double Cream Custard Powder\, and much more. \nTicket holders will receive a coupon good for a $5 discount on the book\, good through June 30.
