SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Lecture (Virtual & In Person): Bawlf and Stewart Grain Elevators Construction
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Bill Reist\, Friends of Grain Elevators\, Board of Directors \nThis webinar will be presented in person and virtually. \nCLICK HERE to watch the free webinar!\nJoin the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society and our partner the Friends of Grain Elevators as Bill Reist presents the fascinating construction of the twin Bawlf and Stewart grain elevators simultaneous construction in the summer of 1923. \nBill Reist is a retired Structural Engineer. He graduated from McMaster University in 1963 and came to Port Arthur to work for C. D. Howe Engineering in the fall of 1964. His experience with C. D. Howe included a great deal of design and construction work with grain elevators which were the core expertise of the company. \nHe was directly responsible for concept development\, detailed engineering design and construction of an inland terminal grain elevator in Indiana\, a waterfront terminal elevator in Windsor and many maintenance and remedial projects in Lakehead elevators. \nThe collateral expertise related to elevators includes marine structures to address shipping\, foundations of heavy industrial structures\, slipforming procedures unique to silo-shaped structures. He supervised the construction of a dock and breakwater in El Salvador which consisted of a series of slipformed concrete caissons and included ship handling features for berthing and mooring as well as providing protection for the port from strong ocean swells. \nThe C. D. Howe Company was sold on the 1990’s and Bill took his experience in construction to the mining field during the expansion of Lac des Iles mine in 2000.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by author Peter Mulcaster of Niagara-on-the-Lake\, based on his book. \nThe third steam railway to be built in Ontario\, then known as Upper Canada\, came to Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1854.

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Men o’ the North: The Most Talked About Hockey Outfit in the World by Stephen Smith
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 30\, 2021: \nToday’s NHL teams regularly celebrate the service and sacrifices of military men and women. Armored cars invade pre-game ice\, players take warm-ups in camo. But the hockey’s top league has never seen anything like the episode that unfolded in Toronto in the turbulent years of the First World War when in 1916\, an active Canadian Army infantry battalion on its way to the front took the ice to compete in a pre-NHL league with the world-champion Montreal Canadiens and other well-established teams. \nEarly in 1916\, as more and more young men enlisted in the Canadian Army\, one Northern Ontario unit began to accumulate some of the country’s finest hockey talent at its training depot. George McNamara\, Goldie Prodgers\, Duke Keats\, Percy LeSueur were among the recruits\, several of whom would later ascend to the Hockey Hall of Fame. \nThe fact that the battalion applied to and was accepted as a franchise in the National Hockey Association wasn’t\, perhaps\, so great a surprise in a country consumed by the winter game — and where\, indeed\, some considered hockey to be a perfect preparation for soldiers headed for combat. The team prospered on the ice for as long as they played there — they only lasted halfway through the season\, as it turned out\, when the Army decided that the battlefield was more of priority than a championship. \nHockey historian Stephen Smith’s telling of the vivid story of the khaki-clad team illuminates a lesser-known aspect of Toronto’s wartime (and hockey) history and reflects on the relationship\, then and now\, between sport and war. \nStephen Smith is a writer in Toronto\, a sometime contributor to The New York Times\, The Globe and Mail\, and Canadian Geographic. He’s author of the book Puckstruck: Distracted\, Delighted and Distressed by Canada’s Hockey Obsession (2014)\, and steers a blog at puckstruck.com that keeps an eye on hockey history and culture. He shoots left. \nNote: you must be on the RHS mailing list to receive the Zoom link.\nIf you are not on our mail list send us a note via the ‘Contact Us’ page (link here)
