Museum of Lennox and Addington: Lucy Stover Davison Diary with Adele Crowder
2021-11-23 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Toronto) | Museum of Lennox & Addington, 97 Thomas Street East, Napanee, ON, K7R 1L1, Canada
On November 23rd at 7pm, Adele Crowder takes us through Lucy Stover Davison’s year with details gleaned from daily records she kept in exercise books. Meet a farm family from Chipmunk Ridge, with a focus on their animals, harvests, family and social world.
Fred Brown’s photographs of the immediate district of Odessa and its people in the first decade of the century illustrate Adele’s talk. Maps, contemporary video and open source photographs bring the daily life of a farming family into sharp focus.
The project invites your own family detail: how does Lucy’s diary match your family history? Where does 2021 echo her concerns?
Adele Crowder lives on a farm on Simmons Road. Her interest was piqued by changes in land use and by the wealth of detail recorded by Lucy Stover Davison. She takes you through Lucy’s year with particular focus on family connections. Adele is a retired ecologist, professor emerita at Queen’s University, whose work on wetlands, mine reclamation and metal toxicity in plants took her across North America and Europe.
Eleanor Crowder put together the visuals for Adele’s presentation. Writer, actor, and director: she works and teaches in professional theatre in Ottawa and West Quebec. A particular love is touring to small towns. Wilton Hall has hosted many summer productions.

Bill 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.
He 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.
The 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.
The 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.

The Historical Society of St. Catharines Online Lecture: “Off to Paradise Grove: A Railway History of Niagara-on-the-Lake 1854-1959”
2021-11-25 19:30 | online
Presented by author Peter Mulcaster of Niagara-on-the-Lake, based on his book.
The third steam railway to be built in Ontario, then known as Upper Canada, came to Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1854. As with many railways of that era, it went through a period of various owners and financial instability. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the steam railway, then run by the Canada Southern Railway and subsequently by the Michigan Central Railroad, became established on a firmer footing and some economic development ensued.

Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Men o’ the North: The Most Talked About Hockey Outfit in the World by Stephen Smith
2021-11-30 18:30 | online
Tuesday, November 30, 2021:
Today’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.
Early 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.
The 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.
Hockey 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.
Stephen 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.

National Trust Webinar: Regenerating Places of Faith
2021-12-01 12:15 - 13:00 | online
FREE

Places of faith have traditionally anchored and shaped our communities as part of the complex legacy of religious organizations in Canada. Yet many congregations today face declining attendance and insufficient funding to maintain and operate their historic buildings. These important community assets are at risk in this period of transition, but faith groups, heritage and community organizations are rising to the challenge of finding new solutions.
Join us for this webinar where we explore the successful regeneration strategies being applied successfully across the country.
Panelists will include the Trust’s Robert Pajot and Kendra Fry, as well as guest panelists Katja Brittain (Toronto United Church Council), Jennifer Miltenberg (St Joseph’s Kingsbridge Community) and Barbara Myers (SvN Architects + Planners).
In preparation for the webinar, we’ve put together a video introduction to regenerating places of faith.

Town of York Historical Society Fall Author Series: Katie Daubs ("The Missing Millionaire, the True Story of Ambrose Small and the City Obsessed with Finding Him")
2021-12-02 19:00 - 20:30 | online
Join us on December 2nd for the final evening in our author’s series!
Katie Daubs will speak about how she recreated the city from the 1870s to the 1930s for her book The Missing Millionaire, the True Story of Ambrose Small and the City Obsessed with Finding Him.
In December 1919, Ambrose Small, the mercurial owner of the Grand Opera House in Toronto, closed a deal to sell his network of Ontario theatres, deposited a million-dollar cheque in his bank account, and was never seen again. As weeks turned to years, the disappearance became the most “extraordinary unsolved mystery” of its time. In The Missing Millionaire, Katie Daubs tells the story of the Small mystery, weaving together a gripping narrative with the social and cultural history of a city undergoing immense change. Daubs examines the characters who were connected to the case as the century carried on: Ambrose’s religious wife, Theresa; his long-time secretary, Jack Doughty; his two unmarried sisters, Florence and Gertrude; Patrick Sullivan, a lawless ex-policeman; and Austin Mitchell, an overwhelmed detective.

Myseum (Virtual): Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada
2021-12-08 19:00 - 20:30 | online
A conversation exploring the history and lived experiences of Black Railway Porters and their fight for equality on and off the tracks.
“All aboard!” for Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada.
From the late 1800s to the mid 1900s, Canada’s Black Railway Porters were a group of workers who disrupted the system, becoming instrumental in leading the fight for fair employment practices and anti-discriminatory laws.
Their fight for equality both on and off the track helped shape the multicultural Canada we know today, and continues to inform contemporary conversations about labour and race.
Join us for this educational and eye-opening conversation between author/scholar Cecil Foster (They Call Me George: The Untold Stories of Black Train Porters), and Andria Babbington and John Cartwright of the Toronto & York Region Labour Council.
This conversation will take us back in time to take a look at the inspiring lives and contributions of these men, and explore how their legacy can help us imagine greater equality in Canada today and in the future.
This conversation in partnership with the Toronto & York Region Labour Council is part of an upcoming and in-depth multimedia exhibition about Canada’s Black Railway Porters presented in collaboration with Cecil Foster.
