SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum - Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II
DESCRIPTION:Royal Train Tours of Canada in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth II \nThursday\, May 19 \n7:00-8:30 PM EST \nRegistration link: https://bit.ly/QE2TrainTours \n  \n\nOn May 19\, join the Toronto Railway Museum and Dr. Carolyn Harris for an online lecture about the Queen’s tours of Canada. Carolyn will talk about the Queen’s tours of Canada on railway. \nIn 2022\, Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee\, the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne in 1952. The 1950s were a period of iconic royal train tours of Canada as Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip made their first official visit to Canada in 1951 and then Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip undertook their longest visit to Canada in 1959\, traveling to all the provinces and territories of the time. Royal tours were an opportunity for members of the royal family to connect with Canadians from all walks of life and engage with Canadian culture and institutions. Canadian royal tours were also an opportunity for Canadians to discuss and debate the future of the monarchy in Canada. Although train travel across Canada was no longer central to royal tours of Canada after the 1950s as air travel took centre stage\, short royal train journeys and engagement with railway history continued to be part of Canadian royal tours as the Queen rode the monorail train at Expo 67\, and took a historic silver jubilee train journey from Ottawa to Wakefield\, Quebec in 1977. William and Catherine visited the White Pass steam train in Carcross\, Yukon during their most recent Canadian tour in 2016. \n\nTICKETS \nTickets for this online 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 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at 8:30pm EST.

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Franco Mariotti\, "The ‘Giant’ Whales of the Gulf of St. Lawrence"
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\nA closeup perspective of the magnificent and largest creatures on this planet. Discover the secret lives of Humpback\, Fin\, and the biggest of them all\, the Blue Whale. Meet the researcher\, Franco Mariotti\, of Whitefish\, Ontario\, who has devoted his life to studying them and learn how these magnificent animals are “fairing” in today’s waters. Mariotti\, a biologist\, naturalist\, and science communicator\, joined Science North at its inception in 1981. During his 33 years at the site\, he developed content for exhibits\, public programs\, staff training\, and also helped develop major “natural history themed” travelling exhibits that travelled all over North America. To date\, he has delivered over a thousand presentations. The recipient of numerous awards\, Franco is also a world traveller and\, most recently since retirement\, has been a “Polar Guide and Naturalist” on small expedition cruise ships travelling in the Arctic and in the Antarctic. \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:National Trust for Canada (Virtual): Gathering of the Heritage Sector: Why is Environics Polling the Heritage Conservation Field?
DESCRIPTION:FREE \n\nAs we speak\, members of the heritage conservation sector are completing a landmark nation-wide survey that asks probing questions about our values and the purpose of our work in heritage – for example: What motivates your own personal connection to heritage conservation? How much of your efforts in heritage conservation are now related to climate action – or reconciliation\, diversity\, and inclusion – or economic vitality? \nIn parallel\, a national public opinion poll is gathering opinions about heritage conservation from the general public to get insights into why those outside the sector care about preserving heritage buildings\, sites and landscapes in Canada – and how they view our collective efforts. \nThis gathering is an opportunity to explore the issues behind the surveys – part of the Heritage Reset project prompted by dialogue around the goals of the heritage conservation field in a time of rapid societal change. The Heritage Reset is an important national initiative led by the Trust and a dozen partner organizations across the country\, and partially funded by the government of Canada.

SUMMARY:UEL Association of Canada - Governor Simcoe Branch (Virtual): May 2022 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:“The Bachelorette New France (Les Filles a Marier and Les Filles du Roi) : Stories of Bigamy\, Incest\, Witchcraft and Murder” — Presentation by Dawn Kelly & Carol Ufford \nIn 1630 New France was populated mainly by men. With threats to its economy from the British in the south\, plans were made to encourage young women to immigrate\, marry and populate the young colony. \nBetween 1634 and 1663 the Company of 100 Associates sponsored 260 young women who are now known as Les Filles à Marier or The Marriageable Girls. In 1663 the French king took over governing the colony. Louis XIV established a program to bring young female immigrants to New France. These 768 women are now known as Les Filles du Roi or The King’s Daughters. \nContrary to popular belief\, these women were not prostitutes. Many were orphans or from poor families. These young women were able to choose their husbands\, and because men far outnumbered them\, they had plenty of choice. They led fascinating lives in the wilderness of New France and left behind stories of bigamy\, incest\, witchcraft and murder! \nDawn Kelly is a veteran radio newscaster. In 1998\, after 13-years moving town-to-town\, up-and-down the dial in private radio\, she signed on as a national newscaster at The Canadian Press. Dawn has won multiple national awards for her broadcasts as well as a Finalist Award from the New York Festival for Outstanding Achievement. She started searching for her Irish ancestors many years ago only to discover she has deep French-Canadian and Acadian roots. \nCarol Ufford is a retired librarian\, and has been researching her family history off and on for over 30 years. Since retiring in 2016\, she has been able to devote more time to her hobby and has made great progress on her family history story. Her family has deep roots in Ontario\, but she is jealous of her husband’s deep French Canadian roots on his father’s side\, which include 35 Filles à Marier and 34 Filles du Roi. Carol is currently Chair of the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogy Society. \nIn 2021 Carol and Dawn won the Members’ Choice Award from the Toronto Branch of Ontario Ancestors for their presentations on New France.

SUMMARY:Toronto Railway Museum Online Lecture: The Missing Millionaire - The Ambrose Small Saga
DESCRIPTION:On April 21\, join the Toronto Railway Museum and Katie Daubs for an online lecture about the Small Mystery. Daubs will talk about the stranger-than-fiction characters in the Ambrose Small saga\, and the development of Toronto as the drama around his disappearance unfolded.

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

SUMMARY:Friends of the South Grey Museum Speaker Series 2022: Aly Boltman\, "Erasing Erasure: The Intersection of History and Social Justice at Potter’s Field"
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.
