SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Barbara Dickson\, "Bomb Girls: Trading Aprons for Ammo"
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs\, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic\, including our series of talks. We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022\, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs\, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month\, April to November\, at 7:00 pm. \nThe Museum being no longer available as a host site\, and with the continuing threat of COVID\, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs\, so we have made this a subscription series\, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nBarbara Dickson is a professionally-trained public speaker\, local historian\, and award-winning author in both fiction and non-fiction. During the Second World War\, over 21\,000 patriotic citizens\, predominately women\, courageously worked with high explosives. Barbara provides an account of women working in high-security\, dangerous conditions making bombs in Toronto during the Second World War. For over a four-year period they filled munitions for the Allied Forces at a top-secret facility located in Scarborough\, Ontario. \nSome 170 buildings comprised the site along with over four kilometres of secretive tunnels\, which remain as mysterious today as they did years ago. What was it like to work in a munitions factory during the Second World War? Barbara’s comprehensive presentation focuses not only on the breadth of the war-time endeavour but also on the amazing women who worked there. This little-known military story about Canada’s bomb girls—the girls behind the guns—will appeal to every Canadian who honours those who fought for their freedom both overseas and here at home. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Barbara Rusch\, "Two Queens\, Two Reigns: A Singular Purpose"
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale. As someone with an interest in the Museum and its programs\, you know how much we have all missed many activities during the COVID-19 pandemic\, including our series of talks.

We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nFittingly\, in the year of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee\, the renowned collector of Victoriana\, Barbara Rusch\, will join us in a tribute to two record-setting monarchs. Over a span of some 40 years she has become widely-known for her dedication to the preservation of historically important objects. Today\, Barbara is a recognized Sherlock Holmes and Houdini expert\, as well as having assembled the largest collection of Queen Victoria artifacts in Canada. A recent Toronto Star feature article quoted her as saying: “That’s what I consider my mission in life: to resurrect those voices\, to tell their stories.” In some ways\, the reigns of Queen Elizabeth II\, now in its 70th record-setting year\, and that of her great-great-grandmother\, Queen Victoria have run along parallel lines. Both ascended to the throne at a tender age and lived to celebrate significant milestones\, enjoying happy marriages to their cousins. What few know is that both survived assassination attempts and home invasions within the palace walls. Barbara will reveal these and other little-known facts about these popular and long-lived royal women. Don’t miss this master storyteller whose reputation as a lively enthusiastic presenter has few equals. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Janie Cooper-Wilson\, "How Do You Want Your Ancestors to be Remembered?"

We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nJanie Cooper-Wilson of Wasaga Beach was inducted as one of Canada’s 100 Accomplished Black Women in 2018. Her life-long passion for researching and documenting Black history is a crucial part of the collective history of Ontario. A director on the Ontario Historical Society Board\, she serves as OHS field representative for Simcoe County and researcher/co-chair of the OHS Cemetery Preservation & Defence Committee. Did you know there are approximately 1\,500 known inactive\, unapproved\, and unregistered burial grounds located across Ontario — all with little protection for their future? \nJanie discusses her work over the last two years to investigate\, research\, and defend three Underground Railroad Burial Grounds in Haldimand County\, south of Cayuga\, Ontario. One is the resting place of a niece of Harriet Tubman. One is located on private land where many tombstones have been removed. Another has already been ploughed under. All three sites fall within the same official category yet all three pose uniquely different issues. She will share some little-known facts involved in the Cemetery Act and the complex challenges being encountered as she works to preserve the sites and the crucial archival information about the Black pioneers contained within them. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nIt is Barry’s distinct pleasure to introduce John Boyko\, a much-admired author\, educator\, historian\, and director of summer programs at Lakefield College. Boyko may be familiar to TVO viewers as a result of guest appearances on “The Agenda\,” hosted by Steve Paiken. Possibly by now you have read at least one of his many highly praised books. The Globe and Mail has labelled this brilliant nationally-known writer “a distinguished scholar of Canadian political history.” \nMore than a skillful writer\, the much-lauded historian has a wide range of interests. Among our Barry’s personal collection of books\, he notes Boyko’s always engrossing approach to vastly different subjects\, citing as examples his biography on Sir John A. Macdonald and his national bestseller Blood and Daring: How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation. A marvellous communicator\, John Boyko’s very inclusive presentation will introduce us to Canada’s little-known role in the Vietnam War. Through the stories of six fascinating Canadians\, he explores the many ways in which Canada was involved in and changed by that tragic period in our history. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

We decided to welcome our supporters back to a virtual series for 2022\, offered as webinars via Zoom with another eight programs\, occurring as usual on the third Wednesday of each month\, April to November\, at 7:00 pm. \nThe Museum being no longer available as a host site\, and with the continuing threat of COVID\, going virtual was the obvious solution. Moving to a virtual delivery brings with it some additional costs\, so we have made this a subscription series\, but we’ve kept the usual at-the-door cost as a household fee of $10 per session. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nA closeup perspective of the magnificent and largest creatures on this planet. Discover the secret lives of Humpback\, Fin\, and the biggest of them all\, the Blue Whale. Meet the researcher\, Franco Mariotti\, of Whitefish\, Ontario\, who has devoted his life to studying them and learn how these magnificent animals are “fairing” in today’s waters. Mariotti\, a biologist\, naturalist\, and science communicator\, joined Science North at its inception in 1981. During his 33 years at the site\, he developed content for exhibits\, public programs\, staff training\, and also helped develop major “natural history themed” travelling exhibits that travelled all over North America. To date\, he has delivered over a thousand presentations. The recipient of numerous awards\, Franco is also a world traveller and\, most recently since retirement\, has been a “Polar Guide and Naturalist” on small expedition cruise ships travelling in the Arctic and in the Antarctic. \n\nMany Sessions\, Your Choice \nHoping you will join us for another exciting series\, this time from the comfort of your home\, no uncomfortable folding chairs\, and no expenditure on gasoline! \nChoose which parts of the series you prefer.  Visit our web site for in-depth descriptions of The Sessions. \nFull Series of all eight sessions monthly April to November\nwith one free session discount\nfor $70\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly April to July\nfor $40\nOR\nHalf Series of four sessions monthly August to November\nfor $40 \n  \nBuy $70 Full Series (8 sessions) April to November \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) April to July \nBuy $40 Half Series (4 sessions) August to November

SUMMARY:Indigenous Humourist Drew Hayden Taylor Headlines Friends of South Grey Museum Event
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning author\, humourist\, and playwright\, Drew Hayden Taylor\, will perform on stage at the Kinplex in Flesherton\, Saturday evening\, November 9\, presented by Friends of the South Grey Museum. Friends of the South Grey Museum was incorporated by the Ontario Historical Society in 2013. \nComing off an exhilarating round of engagements that include performing at the Canadian National Exhibition\, Taylor’s hugely anticipated local appearance will mark his first engagement within the Municipality of Grey Highlands. \nWidely regarded as a leading member of the Indigenous cultural renaissance that came out of the 1980s\, the prolific performer from Curve Lake First Nation\, near Peterborough\, has honed his considerable stage skills over three decades. \nIn addition to writing 33 books\, numerous television scripts\, and a made-for-television movie (three Gemini Award nominations) based upon his play In a World Created by a Drunken God — the multi-talented Taylor has done stand-up comedy at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and also served as Artistic Director of Canada’s premiere Native Theatre company\, Native Earth Performing Arts. \nHe has held numerous writer-in-residence positions including posts at several universities and at the Stephen Leacock Festival. \nAs his sizeable following has discovered\, Taylor’s special brand of humour is the laughter-inducing element that feed his well-received writings and stage presentations. \nHis forthcoming Flesherton appearance will introduce us a unique perception of Indigenous people. \nAdvance table bookings are encouraged and enquiries should be directed to the South Grey Museum at (519) 924-2843 or (519) 924-2170.
