SUMMARY:Hastings County Historical Society Presents "Rumrunners: The Story of Ben Kerr and Prohibition" with Dan Buchanan
DESCRIPTION:Hastings County Historical Society Invites you to a Public Presentation With Guest Speaker Dan Buchanan – The History Guy of Brighton \nDan Buchanan combines in-depth research with engaging stories to entertain and educate. Dan will tell the amazing story of Ben Kerr\, one of the most notorious rum runners on Lake Ontario during prohibition. \nFollow Ben Kerr from his youthful days in Hamilton\, through his smuggling days\, including many visits to Belleville harbour to pick up whiskey from Corby’s distillery. Prohibition shaped Ben Kerr’s life and would lead to his tragic death in the unforgiving ice floes of Lake Ontario winter. Crime doesn’t pay\, but Ben Kerr made the cash flow\, at least for a while. This is fascinating local and Canadian history! \nNote: Enter Maranatha Church by main front doors. The presentation is in the main auditorium\, which allows for plenty of spacing between seats.

SUMMARY:Hastings County Historical Society (Virtual): Sir Mackenzie Bowell: A Canadian Prime Minister Forgotten by History
DESCRIPTION:Author Barry Wilson will talk about his book on Sir Mackenzie Bowell. \nIn the 155 years since Confederation\, Canada has been led by just 23 prime ministers and 19th Century Belleville newspaper owner Mackenzie Bowell was one of them. He also became the first and one of the few prime ministers to be forced from office by disgruntled dissidents in his own Conservative party and caucus. That incident has saddled Bowell with the image of one of Canadian history’s losers when he is mentioned in history at all\, a subject for ridicule and neglect by historians but his life of accomplishment and a half century in Parliament before his 1917 death was anything but a failure. \nThe real Sir Mackenzie Bowell was much more accomplished and interesting than his portrayal\, a significant player in Canadaʼs early years and a stalwart in successive John A. Macdonald governments. \nBarry Wilson enjoyed a 44-year career in Canadian journalism\, writing for newspapers in New Brunswick\, Ontario and Saskatchewan before spending 34 years in the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery covering agricultural issues in Canada and around the world for the Saskatoon based Western Producer newspaper. He is a member of the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame. \nRegister in advance for this free webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5BMeqLIARmGMhLfQk6lyNQ\nOr call (613) 968-6731 x 2037
