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. The lecture will bring you back to December 1919 and the “extraordinary unsolved mystery”. \nAt that time\, the railway was central to Small’s business\, as traveling shows of the era sent all of their actors\, props\, and scenery by rail. It was expensive for theatre companies\, and Daubs will explain how Small used that to his advantage as he built a cross-Ontario network of theatres\, connected by rail. \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required.

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. We are grateful to the Municipality of Grey Highlands for continuing their support for the presenters. \n\nJoin local history enthusiast Aly Boltman to hear about an unlikely\, three-year journey that began with a dead-of-winter\, candle-lit cemetery tour and ended with an award-winning\, community-supported social justice project that unearthed the histories and dignity of more than 1\,000 citizens all but forgotten in Owen Sound’s Greenwood Cemetery. \nAly has been living in Grey County for the past 19 years where she has served a number of professional roles in the arts and philanthropy sectors. Her writing has been featured in the Globe & Mail\, Owen Sound Sun Times\, The Architectural Conservancy of Ontario\, the Ontario Museum Association and other publications. Ms. Boltman was recently the recipient of the YMCA’s Peace Medallion for her work leading the Potter’s Field Memorial Steering Committee\, resulting in the new Potter’s Field Memorial at Greenwood Cemetery in Owen Sound\, Ontario. \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:Museum of Lennox and Addington (Virtual): The Rural Diary Archive: Transcribing Daily Life in Eastern Ontario
DESCRIPTION:The Rural Diary Archive website (https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/) brings together the work of over 200 diarists (1820-1960) across Ontario. It encourages users to learn about the authors\, easily search fully transcribed diaries in the collection and help transcribe handwritten ones. This presentation explores several Eastern Ontario diaries in the collection\, the nature of diary writing\, and the ways one can use diaries for your own research. Dr. Catherine Wilson will share some examples from her forthcoming book Being Neighbours: Cooperative Work and Rural Culture\, 1830-1960. \nCatharine’s interest in rural and family history began while growing up in Grenville County where her Loyalist and Irish ancestors settled. To celebrate 1967\, her parents built a log cabin in their basement. Inspired by the family heirlooms displayed there\, she’s been fascinated with the history of daily life ever since. Much of her scholarship has included genealogical research and is recognized for employing under-utilized sources such as diaries and innovative methods that revise historical interpretations. Her early work focused on Irish immigration\, pioneer settlement and farm tenancy. Her current SSHRC-funded project explores reciprocal work bees (barn raising\, quilting\, and threshing bees\, etc.) using Ontario farm diaries. She explores the creation\, maintenance and definition of neighborhood and its practical workings. She teaches Canadian History\, Social History\, and Rural History to undergraduates and graduates at the University of Guelph. She is also the Redelmeier Professor in Rural History\, Coordinator of the speakers’ series The Rural History Roundtable\, Founder and Director of the Rural Diary Archive website\, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

SUMMARY:Archives of Ontario Talk (Virtual): Métis Artist Tracey-Mae Chambers’ Work of Hope and Healing
DESCRIPTION:It’s Archives Awareness Week in Ontario! \nJoin the Archives of Ontario as they welcome Métis artist Tracey-Mae Chambers for a live\, virtual event. This artist talk will take place from noon to 1pm EST on Thursday\, April 7. Register at www.eventbrite.ca/e/virtual-talk-with-tracey-mae-chambers-tickets-272953600567. \nChambers created a site-specific artwork at the Archives of Ontario on February 28\, 2022. The piece is part of Chambers’ larger #hopeandhealingcanada project. Seeking to reconnect people and their environments in the face of the pandemic\, the artist has worked with dozens of cultural and public institutions nationwide—and the Archives of Ontario is the first provincial archives to take part. Each of Tracey-Mae Chambers’ installations is unique. Created out of countless metres of fibrous red yarn\, the works function as a technology of decolonization\, which Chambers presents as a step towards reconciliation. By placing her installations in and on venues that traditionally represent colonial worldviews\, Chambers breaches the boundaries of spaces historically closed to Indigenous perspectives. \nYou can view Chambers’ artwork until April 11\, 2022 at the Archives of Ontario\, located at 134 Ian MacDonald Blvd. on York University’s Keele Campus in Toronto. From outside the building\, you can also view the installation via the window on the south side of the building\, across from York University subway station.
