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.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society: Tales of Christmas Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 8th for a festive evening as we learn about the Christmas traditions of days gone by! \nMany of us who celebrate Christmas have traditions that we feel are steeped and time honoured. But most of them aren’t as old as we might think. Hardly any of the Christmas traditions that we know today were widely celebrated when the Town of York was founded back in 1793\, and can instead be dated to the Victorian era. But we’ll also look back at a time\, before the Town of York even started\, that Christmas was outlawed and celebrating it was illegal. Whether you’re passionate about putting up the Christmas decorations\, or like to channel your inner Scrooge\, you’ll be sure to find something of interest in this presentation! \nAbout the Speaker: \nRichard Fiennes-Clinton has been involved in the local Toronto historical community for over 30 years. He gives walking tours all across Toronto\, but has also organized a lot of archival material\, which he uses to give illustrated talks on more than 200 years of Toronto history. He is also the author of a book called “Muddy York – A History of Toronto Until 1834”\, copies of which are available for purchase at Toronto’s First Post Office.

SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): Modest Hopes: Homes and Stories of Toronto's Workers by Leslie Valpy
DESCRIPTION:RHS welcomes Leslie Valpy\, a heritage conservationist practitioner and Don Loucks\, a Heritage Architect\, to speak about their recent book\, “Modest Hopes\, Homes and Stories of Toronto’s workers from the 1820s to the 1920s”\, which celebrates Toronto’s built heritage of row houses\, semis\, and cottages and the people who lived in them. \nToronto’s workers’ cottages are often characterized as being small\, cramped\, poorly built\, and in need of modernization or even demolition. But for the workers and their families who originally lived in them from the 1820s to the 1920s\, these houses were far from modest. Many had been driven off their ancestral farms or had left the crowded conditions of tenements in their home cities abroad. Once in Toronto\, many lived in unsanitary conditions in makeshift shanty-towns or cramped shared houses in downtown neighbourhoods such as The Ward. To then move to a self-contained cottage or rowhouse was the result of an unimaginably strong hope for the future and a commitment to family life. \nNote: this is a Zoom presentation. If you are not on our mail list\, send us your request via the “Contact RHS” page.

SUMMARY:Heritage Ottawa (Virtual): Welcome to the Tunnel. Now: How'd we Get In\, and How do we Get Out?
DESCRIPTION:The mushrooming fix-up business is the largest component of Canada’s largest industry\, construction. In Ontario\, it pumps tens of billions of dollars annually into our GDP. And one in every eight Ontario buildings was constructed before World War II. \nBut if it is so economically vital\, Marc Denhez asks\, why is it still so hard to target even the best-of-the-best for reuse\, instead of a trip to the dump? How did we get into this tunnel? \nJoin Marc Denhez\, lawyer and adjudicator with over 30 years’ experience in the law of built\, natural and intangible heritage\, who breaks the problem down into three clear headwinds: \n– A biased tax structure (including incentives for demolition and disincentives for repair);\n– Misleading branding of the fix-up / reuse option; and\n– Shortages of funded training for doing good fix-up on a budget. \nMarc also sets out a path that could lead us out of the tunnel. Find out how a level playing field could be restored to the industry in order to not only sustain our building assets\, but capitalize on them.

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
