SUMMARY:National Trust Webinar: Regenerating Places of Faith
DESCRIPTION:FREE \n\nPlaces 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. \nJoin us for this webinar where we explore the successful regeneration strategies being applied successfully across the country. \nPanelists 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). \nIn preparation for the webinar\, we’ve put together a video introduction to regenerating places of faith.\nWatch it here.

SUMMARY: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")
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 2nd for the final evening in our author’s series! \nKatie 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. \nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Myseum (Virtual): Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada
DESCRIPTION:A conversation exploring the history and lived experiences of Black Railway Porters and their fight for equality on and off the tracks. \n“All aboard!” for Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada. \nFrom 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. \nTheir 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. \nJoin 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. \nThis 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. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum Online Lecture: Christmas and the Railways
DESCRIPTION:On December 16th\, join the Toronto Railway Museum for its final presentation in the 2021 online lecture series! If you’ve ever wondered why trains are such a common sight around the holidays\, or you remember riding a train during the holiday season yourself\, then this is a must-see presentation. \nLed by our Museum’s historians\, we will take you on a journey to see how important trains and the railways are to the holiday season. This lecture will highlight how and why model trains were an everyday sight at your local department store during the holidays. We will show how the railway companies and stations decorated for the holidays in the hopes of spreading seasonal cheer amongst the riders. You will also learn how trains helped make Christmas possible in a variety of ways\, like how express trains delivered both people and parcels in record time for the holidays! \nFollowing the presentation\, the attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with our presenters\, ask questions\, and share their favorite memories of trains during the holidays. \nAdmission to this event is free of charge\, and the Toronto Railway Museum would like to acknowledge the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Community Building Fund in making this possible. More information on the OTF’s Community Building Fund is available here.
