SUMMARY:Town of York HS Online Speaker Series: A Biography of Elizabeth Simcoe
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\nThe colonial history of Upper Canada often focuses on our first lieutenant-governor\, John Graves Simcoe\, but over the past 200 years\, his wife Elizabeth has often been overlooked. However\, it’d be impossible to properly describe the early life of either Upper Canada\, or its capital in the Town of York\, without referring to Elizabeth Simcoe. This presentation shares just a few of the most compelling points of her life story\, including her time on the Upper Canadian frontier\, and draws on her own paintings and diary entries\, to tell her story in her own words and images. \nAbout the Speaker\nRichard Fiennes-Clinton has been involved in the local Toronto historical community for over 30 years. He gives walking tours all across Toronto\, but has also organized a lot of archival material\, which he uses to give illustrated talks on more than 200 years of Toronto history. He is also the author of a book called “Muddy York – A History of Toronto Until 1834”\, copies of which are available for purchase in Toronto’s First Post Office. \nHow to Attend\nThis is a virtual event. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. Details on how to join the lecture will be emailed to participants upon their registration. Participants can attend via computer\, tablet\, smartphone or dial-in via phone.

SUMMARY:Town of York HS Online Speaker Series: The Royal Mail From York
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\nIt is difficult for our 21st century selves to contemplate a time when handwriting was the only means of sending a thought any distance. When Toronto incorporated as a City in 1834\, it was already a bustling capital of just over 9000 inhabitants\, most of whom were recent immigrants\, having left family and friends across borders and oceans. But the new city was remote\, and isolated. And if these residents wanted to communicate farther than shouting distance\, there was only one way – by putting it in writing. \nThis illustrated presentation will highlight the history of the postal service in the Town of York and the importance of the Royal Mail in the early city of Toronto. \nHow to Attend\nThis is a virtual event. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. Details on how to join the lecture will be emailed to participants upon their registration. Participants can attend via computer\, tablet\, smartphone or dial-in via phone.
