SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum (In-Person and Virtual) Lecture: Mark Scharf - Child of Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Society for this in-person and virtual event that is free to view.  The lecture will be broadcast live via MS Teams.    \nThis lecture is being presented in support of the traveling exhibit  “And in 1948\, I came to Canada”: The Holocaust in Six Dates  on display at the Thunder Bay Museum from April 6th until June 26th 2022. \nMark Scharf will be discussing his parents’ experiences during the Holocaust and how they managed to survive; including help by gentile friends and neighbours\, and in his father’s case\, initiative in convincing a large number of his family to join him to live in the forest. He will also be discussing the Holocaust’s impact on the children of Holocaust survivors\, including his own experiences. \nBio: \nMark Scharf was born October 10\,1945 in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany. Lived in Poland till 1950 when my family moved to Israel\, and in 1953 moved from Israel to Canada. \nGraduated from the University of Toronto Law School in spring of 1971 after undergraduate studies there. During my undergraduate years I also received a Commission in the Canadian Army through the C.O.T.C. (Canadian Officers Training Corps). Married Joanne Cohen on August 21\, 1971 and celebrated 50th wedding anniversary in August 2021. Called to the bar of the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Law Society of Ontario) in March of 1973. \nMoved to Barrie Ontario in 1974 and opened solo law office. The practice evolved over time so that my practice became primarily a civil litigation one with a good dose of family law. Two daughters\, Sara and Deborah\, were born in the early years in Barrie \nI became active in community work and among other activities the most significant were my 9 years on the Barrie Hospital Board and four years on the Barrie Police Services Board. I was Chairman of the hospital board in my last two years on it\, and Vice Chair of the Police Services Board in my last two years there. I was a Deputy Small Claims Court Judge of some 25 years and was a Dispute Resolution Officer in Family Court after retirement from my law practice. \nIn August 2005 after I closed my office my wife and I sailed our boat south to the Florida Keys on an eight month adventure. In 2007 we built our home on a 57 acre forested property on which we live. I belong to the Huronia Woodland Owners Association and am a past director of its Board. We are active and enjoy sailing our boat on Georgian Bay\, snow shoeing and cross country skiing on the property\, making new trails on it\,  gardening\, and I enjoy cutting firewood from deadfall. I also enjoy ice fishing. We are both bookworms and read extensively. We take pride in our daughters’\, grandson’s\, and son-in-law’s accomplishments. What more can one ask? \n\nALL ATTENDEES OLDER THAN 5 YEARS WILL NEED TO SHOW PROOF\, AT THE TIME OF ENTRY TO THE MUSEUM\, OF VACCINATION FOR COVID-19 USING A QR CODE.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Lecture (Virtual): Weather Bomb: Life and Death on the Great Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nBruce Kemp is an internationally known\, award-winning writer and photographer. He has covered everything from fine dining in Europe to the America’s Cup and voyages through the Northwest Passage. He has also been the editor of Travel A La Carte\, Sailing Canada and Sail Ontario. His previous books include: The Complete Travel Writer\, the Ports Cruising Guide to Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair\, the 2006 update to the Ports Cruising Guide to the Rideau Canal\, the recent Weather Bomb 1913: Life and Death on the Great Lakes and the novel: The Fugitive’s Son. Bruce taught his craft for more than twenty years starting at Lambton College\, George Brown College\, Okanagan College and the Centre for Arts and Technology (Okanagan). He is currently working on a documentary project about the history of navigation and is Chief Judge for the Travel Media Association of Canada’s annual national travel photo competition. \nAbout the Book: \nIn the dark hours of November 9\, 1913\, death screamed across the Great Lakes in the guise of a rare white hurricane. The Storm continued to brutalize the region for most of the following week. It left in its wake crippled cities\, paralyzed communications\, 12 lost freighters\, the corpses of more than 250 men and women\, and a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. Weather Bomb 1913 is an accurate accounting of the causes and costs of the Storm as told by the few surviving witnesses who had a living memory of the carnage\, courtroom testimony and newspaper reports of the day. Now modern ship captains and weather scientists contribute their expertise to help explain and define this horrendous “extra-tropical cyclone” and Bruce Kemp adds his skills as a writer to bring to life one of the most compelling dramas of the tragedy. \nSpeaker Bio: \nOver the span of more than thirty years\, Bruce’s writing and photography have earned him numerous awards from his peers. In 1987 he was selected to write the Canadian entry in the official America’s Cup Defence Program for the America’s Cup held in Perth\, Australia\, that year. His first national nomination came in 1987 when he was nominated as Nabisco Food Writer of the Year (Humour). In 1991 he was awarded the Lake Ontario Racing Council’s top honour for Best Colour and Composition in a sailing photo\, as well as the Best Sailing Photo. In 2003 he won the Travel Media Association of Canada/Starwood Hotel’s Best Travel (People Photo – national). 2005 saw him win the Metroland In-House Design and Layout Award. Then 2006 was a very good year for him as he won the Travel Media Association of Canada’s Best People Photo once again plus the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Award for Best Travel Journalism and he capped the year off by taking home the prestigious international award of Caribbean Travel Photographer of the Year for his work on Trinidad’s annual Carnival. In 2011 he was once again on the podium to accept the Travel Media Association’s national award for Best Travel Photo (People)\, a feat which he repeated in 2014 along with a second place in family feature writing\, and an Outstanding Achievement Award for Best Story About Travel In Canada. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/96993000579?pwd=WEZvajNDeWt3NDlkNmlIQk8vOFQ0UT09 \nPasscode: Kx8zPm \nWebinar ID: 969 9300 0579

He graduated from McMaster University in 1963 and came to Port Arthur to work for C. D. Howe Engineering in the fall of 1964. His experience with C. D.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Virtual Lecture: OHT CEO Beth Hanna – The Path to a More Inclusive Narrative: Sharing Experiences
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be presented virtually with no in person component. \nCLICK HERE to watch the free webinar!\nIn recent years the Ontario Heritage Trust has designed programs and partnerships to create a more inclusive discussion of heritage\, to expand the historical narrative in Ontario using land protection and stewardship\, public programs and its social media platforms to explore new approaches to the work we do. We are working with communities across the province\, urban and rural\, to share their own stories in their own voices\, to celebrate the diversity of experiences\, languages\, customs and perspectives of different people and different places. Drawing from specific examples of programs and property protection\, and sharing lessons learned from collaborations with Indigenous nations and racialized communities\, Beth will discuss some thinking on new initiatives along with the joys and challenges of the Trust’s work to design protection practices and interpretation approaches that are more honest and inclusive. \nBeth Hanna is Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Heritage Trust. She has a wealth of experience in the design and delivery of inclusive\, multi-faceted public programs and the creation of integrated approaches to the conservation and stewardship of heritage – cultural and natural\, tangible and intangible. She is passionate about giving voice to the diversity of experiences\, traditions\, and histories of Ontario’s peoples and communities.
