SUMMARY:Packaged Toronto: Vintage Food Packaging & The Companies Behind Them
DESCRIPTION:Vintage historic food & drink packaging and the companies behind them from Toronto’s early days. From the exiting new book Packaged Toronto! \nResearcher and writer Jamie Bradburn will talk about historical food and drink packaging and the companies behind them as featured in a new book from the publishers of Spacing magazine: Packaged Toronto: A Collection of the City’s Historic Design. \nIn Packaged Toronto\, Spacing’s writers teamed up with City of Toronto museum curators to reveal a treasure trove of early local package design from the City’s vast collection. Through detailed photography and historical essays focused on an underserved period of Canadian design\, Packaged Toronto takes readers on a journey back in time to the period between 1870 and 1950 to witness the emergence of the city’s aesthetic. Jamie Bradburn focuses on some of the companies and products from this period\, from Mr. Christie’s Cookie Tin for Soldiers to Harry Horne’s Double Cream Custard Powder\, and much more. \nTicket holders will receive a coupon good for a $5 discount on the book\, good through June 30.

SUMMARY:Uncertain Harvest: The Future of Food on a Warming Planet
DESCRIPTION:Ian Mosby and Sarah Rotz talk about how to eat our way out of a mess in Uncertain Harvest: The Future of Food on a Warming Planet \nAbout this Event\nA menu for an edible future. \nIn a world expected to reach a staggering population of 10 billion by 2050\, and with global temperatures rising fast\, humanity must fundamentally change the way it grows and consumes food. In their new book\, Uncertain Harvest\, authors Ian Mosby and Sarah Rotz bring together scientists\, chefs\, activists\, entrepreneurs\, farmers\, philosophers\, and engineers working on the global future of food to answer questions on how to make a more equitable\, safe\, sustainable\, and plentiful food future. \nAs a historian and as a social scientist\, Mosby and Rotz look to the past to help us better understand our culinary future. They explore our ongoing history of mostly failed predictions and use that to look at contemporary predictions of a food future dominated by robot farms\, cultured meats and photosynthesis-hacked GM rice. \nJoin us for an engaging Zoom presentation by the two authors\, followed by a Q&A period. Save today on the ticket price by becoming a member of the Culinary Historians of Canada and continue to save on future events! \nParticipants will receive a coupon code to receive a 15% discount on the book from the publisher.

SUMMARY:The Canadian Archaeologist Who Collected 4500 Beer Cans
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David Maxwell\, archaeologist & collector\, discusses what he’s learned about contemporary culture from the discarded cans of beers-past. \nAbout this Event\nWhat does our garbage say about us? As a young anthropologist and archaeologist\, Dr. David Maxwell studied Mayan votive offerings and what they tell us about Mayan cultural and political history; but not all cultural relics have to be ancient ! Dr. Maxwell discovered this at the tender age of 11 when he started collecting beer cans discarded on the side of the road. These cans sparked an interest in the history of the cans themselves\, the beer\, and the brewing companies. This collection led to a fascination and understanding of our society’s changing approach to litter\, recycling\, what we define as “garbage.” \nDr. Maxwell’s collection became a lifelong passion and eventually swelled to over 4\,500 cans—now whittled down to just under 2\,000 due to storage constraints. Grab a cold one and join us for an evening chat about the most Canadian of topics – beer! \nDr. Maxwell will discuss his research\, share stories about collecting and his interactions with other researchers over the years… and\, of course\, share highlights of his unique collection with us. A Q&A will follow.

SUMMARY:Catharine Parr Traill on Enjoying and Surviving a Canadian Winter
DESCRIPTION:Catharine Parr Traill’s genteel life in England did not prepare her at all for life on the frontier in Ontario in the mid-1800s. But one of the ways she found to support her family in her new world was to write about her experience for other immigrants. Her writings both public and private deal with the many joys and tribulations of the wintery backwoods in early Canada. \nTraill had practical advice for her readers\, from maintaining a yeast supply to choosing a parlour stove to sewing a warm cloak. She revealed much about bottling\, pickling\, smoking and hunting foods for the mid-nineteenth century pantry\, then making winter meals. Her how-to advice benefited many immigrants unprepared for the cold and ice\, as she had been once unprepared\, but she also came to love the sparkling snow in her Canadian wilderness. \nFiona Lucas\, who with Nathalie Cooke\, co-edited Catharine Parr Traill’s Female Emigrant’s Guide: Cooking with a Canadian Classic (2017)\, speaks knowledgeably and entertainingly on Traill’s experience and writings. Her half hour presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.
