SUMMARY:Peterborough Historical Society February 2023 Lecture (Virtual): “The History of Lacrosse in Peterborough”
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THE FEBRUARY SPEAKER EVENT WILL BE VIRTUAL ON ZOOM. The speaker schedule remains on the third Tuesday of the month; January\, February\, March and May at 7:30 p.m. A question and answer period will follow the speaker’s presentation. Attendees will be provided with the Zoom link to join meetings when they register by email to the email address provided. \n\n“The History of Lacrosse in Peterborough”\nDon Barrie \nPeterborough has a long and intimate connection with lacrosse. The first lacrosse game was played in Peterborough in 1872. In 1892 the Daily Examiner gave a history of the origins of lacrosse\, noting the formation of the Montreal la Crosse [sic] Club in 1860 (actually 1856) followed shortly after with the National La Crosse Association of Canada. The Examiner article noted the “retirement” of Joe Phelan who was a prominent player and executive member of the Peterborough Lacrosse Club for many years. In acknowledging his contribution\, club president W.E. Lech noted Phelan’s “untiring services in promoting the interests of the national game.” Don Barrie\, the author of Lacrosse the Peterborough Way\, will present his extensive research on what he describes as “Peterborough’s winningest sport.” \nTuesday\, 21 February 2023\, 7:30 p.m. on Zoom. Register to attend by sending an email note to info@peterboroughhistoricalsociety.ca with “Lacrosse” in the subject line.

SUMMARY:UEL Kawartha Branch February 2023 Meeting (Virtual): Jean Rae Baxter on "The Knotted Rope"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring guest speaker\, Jean Rae Baxter\, UE\, who will be talking about her latest book\, The Knotted Rope. \nThe Knotted Rope\, the sixth and final novel in what has become known as the “Forging a Nation” series\, is set in Niagara in 1793 during the last days of slavery in Upper Canada. It returns to the subject of Jean Rae Baxter’s third historical\, Freedom Bound\, in which she told the story of the Black Loyalists’ escape from slavery during the American Revolution. In The Knotted Rope\, Jean Rae Baxter unravels another strand of the complicated\, sometimes tragic\, but ultimately victorious\, history of the fight to end slavery. \nIn this presentation\, she examines the paradox at the heart of writing responsible historical fiction. To honour our history\, we must be true to it. \nBut how can we tell the truth by means of made-up stories? That is the question. The answer\, she explains\, lies in the use of historical facts to trigger the action. The writer shows how people reacted to\, and were affected by\, actual events. Just such an event was The Proclamation of “An Act to Prevent the further Introduction of Slaves and to limit the Term of Contracts for Service Statutes of Upper Canada 33 George III.” \nThe Knotted Rope is available for purchase on Amazon.ca.

SUMMARY:Oakville Historical Society Speakers' Night - “Outside the Gate:  The True Story of a British Home Child in Canada”
DESCRIPTION:Join by Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3614629408?pwd=dnp2a0R3TGEySXgzVmdpR0NRendIQT09 \nWednesday\, February 15th\, 2023  7:20 pm. – 9:00 pm. \n​Between 1869 and 1932\, over 100\,000 children were sent from Britain to Canada through assisted juvenile emigration. These migrants are called “home children” because most went from an emigration agency’s home for children in Britain to its Canadian receiving home. The children were placed with families in rural Canada. \nThe children were promised a bright future in the land of opportunity\, and some managed to make a good life\, but many were abused\, neglected and reviled by those who took them in. Although most still had families back home\, reunification was discouraged. One of those children was Winnie Cooper. Born in Scarborough\, Yorkshire in 1908\, she was sent at age twelve to Barnardo’s Village Home for Girls near London. Three years later\, Winnie was shipped off to a farm in rural Ontario. Nothing back in England had prepared her for working the rough land in Canada\, but despite the long days\, isolation\, and bitterly cold winters\, Winnie’s natural wit and cheery disposition helped her find love and friendship. Yet she always dreamed of returning to her mother in Yorkshire. \n​The story\, told by her granddaughter\, author Carol Marie Newall\, is a family saga of love and loss\, pain and joy as Winnie struggled to find her place in a young inhospitable country. It’s also a revealing portrayal of a troubling chapter in Canadian and British history.

SUMMARY:Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum Virtual Lecture: “The Discovery and Investigation of the John Butler Homestead"
DESCRIPTION:Ron Williamson presents “The Discovery and Investigation of the John Butler Homestead: Perspectives from Two Decades Later”\nIn addition to delineating the foundations of the John Butler Homestead\, which are now interpreted on the site\, ASI investigations yielded over 50\,000 ceramic sherds and over 14\,000 animal bones. These finds allowed our archaeologists to reconstruct the family’s meal systems and to interpret life in the Butler home\, especially at the dining table. In addition\, a detailed analysis of the spatial distribution of almost 100 artifacts related to flint-lock firearms and military-uniform accoutrements afforded an opportunity to identify the archaeological evidence of the War of 1812 skirmishes at the site. Also\, John Butler was well known for his relationship with Indigenous peoples but what he might not have realised is that he situated his homestead on a location that had been host to Indigenous peoples periodically for more than 8\,000 years! Dr. Williamson will summarise all these findings in his presentation. \nRonald F. Williamson is Founder and now a Senior Associate of Archaeological Services Inc. He holds an Honours BA from the University of Western Ontario and MA and PhD from McGill University\, all in Anthropology. He has published extensively on both Indigenous and early colonial Great Lakes history. In 2016\, he was conferred the Smith-Wintemberg award\, the Canadian Archaeological Association’s most prestigious award for outstanding contributions to Canadian Archaeology\, and in 2019\, he was given Heritage Toronto’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Williamson also directed the Archaeological Management Plan for the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and directed excavations at the Snake Hill and Peace Bridge sites in Fort Erie\, the Colonel John Butler Homestead\, and the Kings Point Archaeological site. \nPresentations are free for all but registration is required.  Use ticket link below to register on Zoom. \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zzvCWf0zRdKjBU9Kz6SQ_g

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society (Virtual): John Goddard — Toronto’s Early History Treasures
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that our speaker for February will be John Goddard. We thoroughly enjoyed John’s Zoom presentation The Man with the Black Valise to the Swansea Historical Society in November 2021\, and we are delighted that he has consented to return (virtually) to join us in Swansea February 2023. \nJohn Goddard is a seasoned news reporter and magazine writer. He is also the author of many books\, including The Man with the Black Valise: Tracking the Killer of Jessie Keith [the topic of John’s 2021 SHS talk] \, and Inside Hamilton’s Museums. \nThe topic of John’s February 1\, 2023 presentation will be Toronto’s Early History Treasures. \nWhen he left the Toronto Star a few years ago\, John delved into the City’s early-history museums. Not being a car owner\, he used public transit to visit the many\, widely-scattered sites. They proved a revelation\, but he had one complaint — after each visit he wanted to know more. When he learned there was no guidebook to buy\, not even a pamphlet to take away\, he resolved to write the book he wanted to read. In this presentation\, he focuses on what he calls “the most prized objects” from six museums\, artifacts of special value that illuminate life in early Toronto. \nWe hope John’s talk will inspire you to visit Toronto’s history museums and view these items for yourself!! \nWe suggest that you tune in to the meeting shortly before 8 pm on February 1\, 2023\, so that we can get started on time. SHS events are open to members and guests alike. Please forward this information to anyone you think might be interested. \nZoom details: \nTopic: Swansea Historical Society February Meeting — John Goddard — Toronto’s Early History Treasures\nTime: Feb 1\, 2023\, 8:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88400904271?pwd=UEpuNWVPNllhOG16aFVibHNBSTE1UT09 \nMeeting ID: 884 0090 4271\nPasscode: 170792 \nTo join by telephone\, find your local number at: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcTeM3Kfxf

SUMMARY:Culinary Historians of Canada (Virtual): A Certain Fascinating History of Saffron\, the World's Most Expensive Spice
DESCRIPTION:Food history writer Sam Bilton explores the history of saffron in England — and how it came to Canada\, as well! \nSaffron has allured us with its golden hues throughout time. It was the darling of the medieval kitchen\, the saviour of the apothecary’s chest and was used to give cloth a regal glow. Unlike many spices\, such as cinnamon\, nutmeg and cloves\, saffron could be successfully grown in England. From the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century there was a thriving saffron industry in there. Some people even claimed English saffron was the best to be found in the world. But as tastes changed from the medieval to the modern\, saffron in English and Anglo-Saxon kitchens fell out of favour. Given its lavish reputation as the most expensive spice in the world it is not surprising that many people who cook in Western European style no longer have it in their spice cupboard. \nSam Bilton aims to change that.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum (Virtual): The Railways that Spurred Early Oil’s Expansion
DESCRIPTION:The Toronto Railway Museum is proud to announce the next lecture in our 2023 lecture series The Railways that Spurred Early Oil’s Expansion. Participants will be given special access to our Zoom webinar room for this event\, where they can directly engage with our presenters and our museum’s historians. Admission to this event is free of charge\, but we do require participants to register in order to secure your space in the virtual room. \nBefore the arrival of the railroads local growth and development in Lambton County was at a standstill\, the marshy land was not attractive to new settlers. This all changed in 1858 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Railroad and the first commercial oil well dug by James Miller Williams starting production in Oil Springs Ontario. The Black Gold Rush started attracting men from all over to seek their fortunes in the booming oil industry. The problems arise from lack of infrastructure on how to get this valuable product out of the swamps of Lambton. In this talk we will look at how the booming oil industry and railroads are intrinsically linked in Lambton County spurring development from the building of the private Petrolia Spur line to the St Clair Tunnel to the USA.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum (Virtual): Waiting Out the War on the Shore of Lake Superior
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a virtual lecture from Dr. Michael O’Hagan on Camp 100 (Neys).  This will be a virtual event that is free to view. \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR\nThis presentation will explore the history of Camp 100\, an internment camp situated on the coast of Lake Superior\, from its inception in 1941 to its eventual closing in 1946. Tracing the camp’s history from its origins as an internment camp for German combatant officers\, I will examine how the camp was repurposed to house Enemy Merchant Seamen and Civilian Internees and\, later\, some of the most extreme Nazi prisoners interned in Canada. Relying heavily on archival records and historical photographs\, I will explore what daily life was like for hundreds of German POWs who unexpectedly found themselves living on the North Shore of Lake Superior. \nDr. Michael O’Hagan is a historian researching German POWs in Canada during the Second World War. He completed his PhD in History at Western University in London\, Ontario in 2020 and his dissertation focused on the employment of German POWs in labour projects scattered across Canada. He continues researching POWs in Canada and publishes his research on his blog\,     www.powsincanada.ca.

SUMMARY:Orillia Museum of Art and History (Virtual): The Black Swamp Gang
DESCRIPTION:Around 1880 the whole of north Simcoe County was terrorized by the Black Swamp Gang who robbed farms and then intimidated the farmers into silence through barn-burnings and other threatened vandalism. The gang had formed around Big Sandy McDuff\, the ‘baddest’ of the bad\, a gigantic and temperamental Jarratt farmer – a tavern brawler who never lost a fight. \nJoin us to hear historian Dave Town tell this largely untold story of the gang and the societal background that facilitated their exploits and the vigilantism of the era.

SUMMARY:Woodland Cultural Centre (Virtual): [Archives Alive] Digital Access and Indigenous Histories: Supporting Self-Determination and Historical Research in Community
DESCRIPTION:The year 1924 marked a dramatic change in politics in Six Nations of the Grand River. That year\, under the authority of the Indian Act\, and with the support of a small number of community members\, an Elected Band Council was established. In October 2024\, Woodland Cultural Centre will open a new exhibition which seeks to better understand the pressures and priorities in Six Nations of the Grand River that led to this dramatic change in governance. The exhibition will connect archival records\, oral histories\, Indigenous languages\, and the perspectives of youth to better understand historical and contemporary debates about who represents the community and what governance should look like in the future. \nMcMaster University Library’s Archives and Research Collections houses important clues to understanding this time in the papers of A.G. Chisholm\, a lawyer who served the community for about 40 years\, first working for the Confederacy (traditional governance system) and later the Band Council (elected system). He tirelessly researched and sought reparations for loss of land due to flooding of the Grand River and loss of trust fund dollars through mismanagement by government officials. Through his papers\, we gain a better understanding of some of the pressures that Six Nations was facing in 1924. \nWoodland Cultural Centre Guest Curator Heather George will join McMaster University archivist Gillian Dunks to discuss the importance of digital access to archival records for George’s work on the 1924 exhibition\, highlighting key finds from the A.G. Chisholm fonds and connecting them to other archival collections globally.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): January 2023 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“Fort Frontenac” — Presentation by Jean Rae Baxter \nWednesday\, January 11\, at 7:30pm – on Zoom; Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrd-6rpzwsHNCWbZzHnNBmGp7H2QJ3L6ik \nPlease note\, this is not a hybrid meeting\, it will take place virtually on Zoom \nIt all began with the beaver. The City of Kingston owes its existence to the beaver. If it were not for the beaver\, Fort Frontenac would never have been built. And if Fort Frontenac had not been built\, there would have been no settlement at Cataraqui. But in every European country\, wealthy gentlemen and military officers wore hats made from beaver felt. All Europe ran “mad as a hatter” for the beaver. \nIt was competition for the fur trade that led to the construction of Fort Frontenac. Because the English paid more\, in trade goods\, than the French\, both hunters and middlemen started taking the furs to the English\, not to the French. To block competition from the English\, France needed to establish forts that would serve as trading posts in locations much closer at hand than English trading posts such as Albany to the south and Hudson Bay to the north. \nThis is where the famous explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier de LaSalle enters the story. It was LaSalle who chose the site where Fort Frontenac would be built. By choosing this site\, he was choosing the spot where Kingston stands today. \nCount Frontenac\, Governor of New France\, approved the site and built the first wooden fort. But it was LaSalle who in 1675 rebuilt the little wooden fort into a real fortress\, which for the rest of his life he used as home base for his expeditions of discovery. \nThis presentation follows the fortunes of Fort Frontenac over the centuries. How it was knocked down\, rebuilt\, abandoned\, rebuilt\, blown up\, rebuilt again\, destroyed by the British in the last days of New France\, and finally became the site for the Loyalist settlement at Cataraqui following the American Revolution. \nToday\, disrupted by digging in the construction of utilities and buried under streets and buildings\, there is little of the historic old fort to be seen. In my presentation\, I dig up three hundred years of history. \nJean Rae Baxter is the descendant of settlers who arrived in New France in the 17th century\, Loyalists who came here in the 1780s\, and immigrants from Germany in the 19th century. There were many family stories to awaken her interest in Canada’s history. \nBaxter’s historical fiction has won wide recognition. In 2022 she was nominated for the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media: the Pierre Berton Award. She has received the Hamilton Arts Council Award for Young Adult Literature as well as a City of Hamilton Heritage Award for her writing. Her books have been shortlisted for the Ontario Library Association’s Red Maple Award and British Columbia’s Stellar Award. She has received an Honourable Mention at Boston’s New England Book Festival. \nThree of her six novels based on Loyalist History have received the Moonbeam Awards for Young Adult Historical Fiction: In 2011 Freedom Bound was awarded the Bronze Medal. In 2012 Broken Trail won the Gold Medal\, and just a few months ago\, in October 2022\, her latest book\, The Knotted Rope\, won the Silver. Jean is especially proud of these three medals—Gold\, Silver and Bronze—because the Moonbeam Awards are American\, and she writes Loyalist history from an unswervingly Canadian point of view.
