SUMMARY:North York Historical Society May 2023 Meeting: Stories That Justify an Outrageous Hat Collection by Craig Colby
DESCRIPTION:In March 2020\, during the great COVID-19 lockdown\, television producer Craig Colby’s work disappeared. He marked the time by wearing a different baseball hat every day\, posting a picture with a story about each one on social media. A community of friends started sharing their hats and stories\, too. \nAfter 125 days\, Craig ran out of hats\, but gained new insight into what each cap told him about his own life. In isolation\, Craig experienced triumph and heartbreak\, love and loss. He was meeting his childhood sports heroes and floating weightless with an astronaut. The stories in ALL CAPS weave a tapestry of human connection\, one hat at a time. \nThis is an in-person program. No registration required. \nThis program is co-sponsored by the North York Historical Society and the Society and Recreation department of the North York Central Library.

SUMMARY:Kingston Historical Society May 2023 Meeting (In-Person and Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The point is often made that our world of instantaneous communication through the internet was foreshadowed by the telegraph in the nineteenth century.  Graeme Roy\, a docent and board member of the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario\, will give us an intimate glimpse of “How the telegraph connected Canadians in the early years of Confederation”. He will reinforce his lecture with a demonstration of telegraphic equipment brought from his extensive collection at the Smiths Falls museum. \n\nWe return to in-person meetings in January\, now at the Kingsbridge Retirement Community which has graciously agreed to let us use their very comfortable theatre lounge for our meetings. This is a most attractive location with comfortable armchairs and the most up-to-date audio-visual equipment. The spaciousness of this venue also allows us to offer light refreshments and an opportunity for socialization after each lecture. \nThe Kingsbridge Retirement Community\, 950 Centennial Drive is the tall building just south of Princess Street. Ask for the theatre lounge on the lower floor. Enter by the prominent door on the east side. Someone will be at the door to give you directions and to check your double vaccination status. There is free visitor parking along the north side of the building. Express buses #501 and 502 serve upper Princess Street to very near Kingsbridge. Bus #4 offers slower service along Princess Street from downtown. Use the Centennial Drive bus stop. \nCovid precautions: Please wear a mask on entry to the building\, but you may remove your mask once in the room. Proof of vaccination is mandatory. The building is kept meticulously sanitized.

SUMMARY:National Trust for Canada (Virtual): Webinar: CARE Tool: Quantifying the Carbon Savings from Reuse
DESCRIPTION:FREE \nPresented by the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP) and National Trust for Canada \nAre you looking for help to make the climate case for saving and reusing an older building? Join this webinar to learn about the newly released Carbon Avoided Reuse Estimator (“CARE Tool”). \nLaunched early this year by Architecture 2030\, the CARE Tool estimates the operational and embodied carbon emissions associated with reusing and upgrading an existing building or replacing it with new construction. This innovative carbon estimator can be used by policymakers\, planners\, building owners\, developers\, heritage building officers\, architects\, educators\, and others who are interested in a pre- or early-design\, high-level assessment of the total carbon emissions of building reuse versus replacement. \nThe developers of the tool will demonstrate the tools capabilities and give us case examples from early adopters. There will also be discussion about the work needed to update the CARE tool for the Canadian context. \nPresenters:\n— Erin McDade\, Associate AIA\, Senior Program Director at Architecture 2030\n— Lori Ferriss\, AIA\, PE\, Regenerative Renewal Practice Leader and Director of Sustainability and Climate Action at Goody Clancy \nDiscussants:\n— Emad Ghattas\, Senior Associate\, Architect\, GBCA Architects\n— Austin Parsons\, Owner/Operator\, Parsons Lumber Company Limited\, & Parsons Heritage Works (Parsons) \nModerator:\n— Chris Wiebe\, Manager\, Heritage Policy & Government Relations\, National Trust for Canada
