SUMMARY:Riverdale Historical Society (Virtual): The 1852 Agricultural Exhibition and the Agricultural Association of Upper Canada with Ross Fair
DESCRIPTION:“Toronto was all bustle and excitement”: The 1852 Agricultural Exhibition and the Agricultural Association of Upper Canada\nAnother year’s Canadian National Exhibition has come and gone. But when did exhibitions become an annual tradition and who first organized them? To answer these questions\, the talk will centre on the Agricultural Association of Upper Canada (founded 1846) and its 1852 Provincial Agricultural Exhibition\, hosted in Toronto. Susanna Moodie was so impressed by the show that she wrote a chapter about it. But a successful exhibition was just one of the association’s ambitions that year and\, at the event\, the provincial government made a major announcement that has shaped government support of agriculture in Ontario ever since. \nDr. Ross Fair teaches in the Department of History at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). His study of agricultural societies\, Improving Upper Canada: Agricultural Leadership and State Formation\, 1791-1853\, will be published soon. He is currently writing a book on the failed attempts to encourage hemp cultivation in Upper and Lower Canada. \nTuesday\, October 25\, 2022\nAt 6:30 p.m. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83409291542\nMeeting ID: 834 0929 1542 \nOne tap mobile\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada

SUMMARY:Ontario Women’s History Network Annual Conference and AGM
DESCRIPTION:Ontario Women’s History Network Annual Conference and AGM\nOctober 21-22\, 2022\nHybrid conference: Online and in Ottawa\nHistorically\, war has been a profoundly gendered experience\, as traditional dichotomies put women securely on the “Homefront\,” as supporters\, caregivers and afterward\, as mourners of the dead. Much scholarship has reflected on the historical experiences both on the battlefield and the “Homefront\,” and we now know that these two cannot be neatly separated. Early historiography focused on the contention that war broke down gender norms\, even was liberating for women. While we are interested in continuing such discussions\, we are also hopeful of expanding and diversifying them by hearing about gendered experiences of war-related activities in Ontario. How did women manage new familial tensions\, take on new types of work\, remember those who were lost? In particular\, we seek to explore how war is now taught in schools\, how war is remembered and preserved through public history institutions and through commemoration\, and new insights\nfrom current academic research on these subjects. \nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to: \nTeaching War and Gender:\nExploring wartime roles and resistance\nMoving beyond traditional narratives of war \nPublic history and the presentation/preservation of wartime:\nPresenting and preserving war and gender at museums\nWomen’s role in commemorating the war\nThe role of archives in the documentation of war \nOriginal research on war-related activities:\nThe “Homefront”\nVolunteerism and the wars\nWartime and women's rights\nCollateral damage of war\nPost-war and demobilization\nAnti-war movements\nGendering patriotism\, nationalism\, and war narratives\nWar in popular culture \nWe are accepting proposals for individual papers\, panels\, and plenary sessions. Please submit a 250-word proposal by July 20\, 2022 to: alloydla@museumlondon.ca

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 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\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:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): October 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“The Price Of Loyalty” — Presentation by Gail Copeland \nI am pleased to be able to share my writing journey with you. My fourth great-grandfather was a United Empire Loyalist who left New Jersey at the age of fifteen\, along with his older brother\, to find land in what is now Thorold\, Ontario. I’d like to tell you about the real-life people whose story inspired me to delve deeper. I am an avid genealogist and when I couldn’t find enough facts about what happened to these two boys\, I set out to write about what might have been. I spent a couple of years researching and when I could finally visualize everything in my mind\, I was ready. Please join me in learning about how it started\, who my characters are in real life\, why they had to leave the only home they’d ever known\, the hardships many of our ancestors would have endured just getting to the British Colonies and the difficulties they found once they arrived. I’ll also talk about my self-publishing journey and how it ultimately got me to this point. Finally\, I’ll let you know about the sequel I’m working on which continues during the War of 1812. I’d highly recommend reading the Price of Loyalty before the presentation so I won’t be giving anything away should you decide to read it later! The eBook and soft cover books are available through Amazon.ca. \nGail Copeland was born and raised in Ontario. She graduated from Ryerson University with an English Major. While not a huge fan of history in school. As an adult she found a passion for uncovering her family roots. Her 4th great-grandfather was a United Empire Loyalist. He left New Jersey\, at the age of fifteen\, to tramp through the wilderness in search of A new home is what is n ow known as Thorold\, Ontario. This could be his story and will appeal to anyone wanting to know more about life in the late 1700’s. Having two sons of her own\, Gail found it hard to imagine any mother being forced to send her teenaged boys into the forest alone and not see them for two years.

DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the South Grey Museum invite you to the Speakers Series 2022\, developed and hosted by Barry Penhale.

We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nPeter Meyler loves discovering our untold histories.

Today’s presentation features John Daddy Hall of Owen Sound. It is said Daddy Hall had 21 children and six wives over his 118-year life. \nBut this isn’t the most remarkable things about him. Discover this African-Ojibwa warrior\, Tecumseh scout\, Kentucky slave\, Black militiaman\, and Grey County resident. Daddy Hall is a man who fought in the War of 1812 was captured and taken into slavery — a man who escaped\, came back home\, and struggled to make a place for himself in Canadian society. \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:Toronto Railway Museum (Virtual): A History of Toy Trains
DESCRIPTION:Join us! “A History of Toy Trains: An ‘O’ Gauge Perspective” on September 15 (7pm EST). \nDiscover the beginnings and early history of toy trains made in Britain\, Europe and the United States\, and how manufacturers marketed trains for Canada. Presenters will delve into the evolution of toy trains\, from pull toys to simple clockwork mechanisms and beautifully decorated tinplate lithography\, to the well engineered mechanical marvels of the early 1900’s. \nThe appeal of mechanical electric toy trains exploded in the Post WWII era\, and the Golden Age of popularity was the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. After a generation of decline\, the toy trains of today are enjoying an unprecedented resurgence\, as manufacturers are now making modern remote-controlled electronic marvels\, with full sounds and effects recorded from real steam and diesel locomotives. The session will close with a look at the toy trains of today. \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required. \nAttendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room\, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST. \nPRESENTER \nKyle Miller was born and raised in Halifax\, Nova Scotia.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): September 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“Fascinating Facts from Loyalist History” — Presentation by Stephen Davidson \nWhether you are new to the story of the Loyalists or it is a treasured part of your family’s heritage\, there is always something new to learn about Canada’s refugee founders. Historian and author Stephen Davidson has compiled 25 facts from Loyalist history that may have escaped the notice of your Canadian history teachers — facts that prove to be far more fascinating than many of the myths that have clung to these “friends of the king” over the centuries. \nStephen Davidson UE – One set of Stephen’s Loyalist ancestors were aboard the Union\, the flag ship of the spring fleet that arrived at the mouth of the St. John River in 1783. His 1975 bachelor’s thesis on an aspect of Black Loyalist history became the basis for his contribution to Volume VII of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography. \nIn addition to submissions to The Loyalist Gazette and more than 795 articles for Loyalist Trails\, Stephen’s research has appeared in multiple genealogy periodicals\, a national children’s magazine\, The Beaver\, and a number of Maritime newspapers. \nHe served as a consultant for two websites created by the University of New Brunswick (Black Loyalists in New Brunswick and Loyalist Women in New Brunswick)\, spoke at two national historical conferences\, served as Peter C. Newman’s consultant and researcher\, and authored two books on Black Loyalists. Stephen and his wife live in Lower Sackville\, Nova Scotia\, where they raised two daughters and now enjoy the proximity of their two grandsons.

SUMMARY:National Trust for Canada (Virtual): Black History in a Modern Cityscape: Geocaching
DESCRIPTION:FREE \nHistoric Places Days is an opportunity to share the places that matter to us\, but we know that place-based history is often limited by the physical remnants of communities and settlements\, most of which are conserved because of their role in telling a dominant\, colonial narrative. This year our aim is to look beyond the established interpretations\, find new ways to tell stories of places that matter. This summer the National Trust is supporting a Geocaching initiative with the City of Fredericton and the Black Loyalist Heritage Society to tell invisible stories of the Maritimes’ founding black communities. \nJoin the National Trust and Graham Nickerson (City of Fredericton) for a webinar on telling invisible stories with Geocaching. Learn more about Black history in Atlantic Canada\, and how to share place based history that has been erased.

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