SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington: Using Genealogy and DNA to Trace our Refugee Roots
DESCRIPTION:If you dig a bit into most family trees you will find ancestors from across the country and around the world.  Why did they move around? Was it their choice or were they forced to move away?  Chances are that some were forced out and made refugees. What different tools can a genealogist use to locate these ancestors and their stories? How do you find those ancestors if your grandparents had to leave with only the clothes on their backs and never wanted to talk about where they came from or what happened? What can we do to trace the family tree with the one thing that every refugee took with them? \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:\nJim Sova is a volunteer with the Archives at the Museum of Lennox and Addington. He has a passion for helping others solve family tree mysteries and unlocking the potential of DNA testing. \n— For ages 13+\n— $3/person\n— No pre-registration required

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Nancy Angus - Places and Faces: The Stories behind the Stories of Place During a Pandemic and Today
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the Places and Faces project. This will be an 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 \nDESCRIPTION: \nJoin Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the PLACES & FACES project as we share its stories. Learn more about the concept of placemaking and hear how our storytellers\, all 65 years or better\, captured their stories digitally (in videos composed of photos and voice-overs)\, as audio recordings and as written accounts. \nPLACES & FACES asked storytellers to recognize a place or places that fostered a sense of connection and belonging to their community\, outside of their home. With senior centres and other facilities closed during the pandemic\, we heard many stories about how older adults engaged in placemaking to overcome barriers to social connection. This project demonstrated how resilient and creative people can be in making those connections. \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 a way that people “transform physical spaces into socially relevant and meaningful places.” PLACES & FACES has gathered some of the stories that highlight how older adults in Thunder Bay are actively creating and negotiating their sense of place as they age. \nJoin Nancy and our storytellers as we celebrate their stories and learn from their experiences. Through stories such as these\, we hope to inspire others\, young and old alike\, to find or create their own places. In doing so\, they can help others who are physically isolated or feeling lonely to find connections that matter as well. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Guelph Historical Society Evenings with History: "John Galt\, the Local Indigenous\, and the Founding of Guelph"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Gil Stelter\, Professor Emeritus\, University of Guelph\, Department of History \nThis illustrated talk is an exploration of the largely unknown relationship between John Galt and the Six Nation’s leader\, John Brant\, in the events leading up to Guelph’s founding\, and then the actual construction and building of the new town. Brant was the son of the noted Iroquoian (Haudenosaunee) leader Joseph Brant\, who had led the people of his Confederacy to the so-called Haldimand Tract along the Grand River after the American Revolution. Galt had long been sympathetic to the Six Nations claims that they were allies\, not subjects\, of the British crown. Galt demonstrated that it was possible for colonizers to work together with the local Indigenous communities in the building of new towns like Guelph and Goderich. \nGHS Annual General Meeting will be held on April 4\, 2023\, at 7:00 p.m. The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Ontario Heritage Conference 2023 (London)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome from the Local Organizing Committee for London\, Ontario \n\n\n\n\nWe are so pleased to welcome you all to London\, Ontario for the 2023 Ontario Heritage Conference. There will be so much to talk about this year\, as new opportunities and challenges lie ahead that will require us to think in new ways about how we preserve. There is no better way to face it all than by learning about\, and from\, each other. \nOur heritage communities are slowly rebuilding after years of drifting between virtual and in-person meetings. We have learned valuable lessons during this time about how to connect when it becomes difficult\, and how to keep up with the work of protecting our heritage resources in shifting sands. \nThis conference will consider many perspectives on this work. Many of us are working hard to draw attention to voices that have not always been heard in our heritage discussions. We will look critically at the work that we have done in the past\, while moving toward that which we will do in the future\, with creative new approaches. We have worked hard this past year to design a program that will challenge and excite you. There is much to celebrate even as we brace for the hard work ahead. \nThroughout this conference\, you will have a chance to learn\, to wander\, to discuss and to consider these next steps. London is a city rich in heritage resources with many successes and many challenges\, just like the place that you are from. We have spectacular heritage buildings throughout our City\, as well as a rich mosaic of beautifully preserved Heritage Conservation Districts\, a vibrant and vast network of museums\, and a multitude of organizations working together to keep London on track as a distinct city that sees it’s roots clearly and holds on to the lessons of the past. \nHeritage protection is good urbanism\, and at this conference we will showcase examples of how our historic areas house living\, vibrant and changing communities. We will take you to stunning adaptive reuse examples that will inspire you and lead you to consider how we can fold in all voices into this important work of understanding our past – no matter how challenging – and embracing our shared future. \nThank you for joining us in beautiful London\, Ontario – there is a lot to see here\, and we can’t wait to share it with you. \nYour Local Organizing Committee: Mike Bloxam; Dhira Ghosh (London Heritage Council); Dr. Jason Gilliland (Western University); Michael Greguol (Heritage Planner\, City of London); Dr. Michelle Hamilton (Western University); Tara Jenkins (Cultural Heritage Lead\, AECOM); Wes Kinghorn (ACO London Region Branch); Don Menard; Dorothy Palmer; Mike Rice (London Middlesex Historical Society); Maggie Whalley (ACO London Region Branch)

SUMMARY:Campbell House Museum: A Titanic Tea
DESCRIPTION:Titanic Tea\, an elegant afternoon tea and book event! \nTwo seatings: 12:30 and 2:30 \nAdults: $50\nChildren (17 and under): $30 \nIncludes: \n— Admission to the art quilt exhibit “Colour with a U”\n— Deluxe afternoon tea\n— A/V book talk by Hugh Brewster and Laurie McGaw\n— Copy of Unsinkable Lucile (1 per adult) \nAbout the book: \nBefore Chanel there was Lucile. \nShe was one of the world’s most glamorous women and the most famous fashionista of the Edwardian age. Yet\, couturiere Lucile\, Lady Duff Gordon was born as just plain Lucy Sutherland and grew up in a stone farmhouse in Ontario\, Canada. How she went from a backwoods farm to presiding over an international fashion empire is a remarkable story of unshakeable determination and female achievement at a time when it was thought that a woman’s place was in the home. \nUnsinkable Lucile is a lavishly illustrated story of Lucile’s lively childhood\, her rise to the top of the fashion world and her survival of the Titanic disaster and its aftermath\, during which she was unjustly vilified. Time and time again\, she proved that nothing could sink her spirits or stop her drive to innovate and create.

SUMMARY:Myseum of Toronto: BEYOND PERIPHERY: Exhibition Launch & Documentary Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Intersections Festival 2023 collection \nNo Silence on Race + the Ontario Jewish Archives invite you to the launch of this unique exhibition as a part of the Intersections festival. \nLearn about the ways that multi-ethnic Jewish people in Ontario share their experiences and explore ideas of representation\, intersectionality\, ethnicity\, race\, and sexuality.\nWe’ll be celebrating the launch of this exhibition with a roundtable discussion\, performances from some of Periphery’s participants\, and food + drink. \nPeriphery\, the documentary\, was filmed and photographed two years ago. Where is Toronto’s Jewish community now with these conversations both within and outside of Jewish communal spaces? And\, how do their experiences continue to translate within the context of the city? Explore these reflections in this exhibition and roundtable discussion. \nAll are welcome to join us in exploring these questions at this exhibition launch party! \nAbout the Roundtable Discussion \nThere will be an exclusive Q&A with the director of the Periphery documentary and a selection of the film’s participants\, whose stories are also featured in this exhibition. \nThis roundtable discussion will explore speakers’ various multi-ethnic Jewish identities (e.g. mixed heritage\, hyphenated identities\, etc.)\, which are highlighted in the film and the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Albion Bolton Historical Society: Seven Hotels & a Distillery: The History of Bolton's Hospitality Industry in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Valerie Mackie. \nWhile Bolton was not alone in having inns and hotels as part of the village landscape\, it is certainly unique in having had seven in operation during the 1870s\, six within a two-block radius along Queen Street. With the use of photographs from the Society’s archival collection and modern photos\, Valerie will identify their locations and what that location looks like today. \nQuestions: Nathan at 905-584-2801 nhillerphoto@bell.net
