SUMMARY:Christmas in the Town of York 2020
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 17th for a festive evening as we learn about the Christmas traditions of days gone by! \nAbout this Event:\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:CBHA/ACHA Talks Presents Pandemics and Business (History): Lessons from the Past
DESCRIPTION:The 1918-20 influenza pandemic has been cited often as one of the few relatively recent events that is comparable to the current pandemic. Coming between the end of the Great War and the Roaring Twenties\, the 1918-20 pandemic had a profound impact upon a generation of Canadians already scarred by the trauma of war. What lessons can we learn from this earlier episode that might provide clues as to how our current situation with COVID-19 may develop\, not just in terms of the social and political response\, but in its impact upon the economy and business? \nBringing medical\, social and business history together\, join us for a discussion with Professors Magda Fahrni of the Université du Québec à Montréal\, Dimitry Anastakis from the University of Toronto and James Onusko from Northern Lakes College on what the pandemics of the past can tell us about how the economy and business are shaped by major health crises.

SUMMARY:Town of York Historical Society Online Talk: The Wreck of HMS Speedy: The Tragedy that Shook Upper Canada
DESCRIPTION:Join us online Thursday July 23th 2020\, for a special talk with author and historian Dan Buchanan! \nAuthor and historian Dan Buchanan presents an engaging 45-minute talk based on his new book The Wreck of HMS Speedy: The Tragedy That Shook Upper Canada. The loss of HMS Speedy in 1804 was a disaster of immense proportions for the fledgling province of Upper Canada. and much of it happened in York\, the former Toronto. It is a story that has been told many times in the past but Buchanan takes a different tack. He digs deep into contemporary documents to uncover the conflicts and forces and prejudices that conspired to send the Speedy to its fate. Who were the twenty people on board and why were they there? What did they leave behind? \nBuchanan then enhances this Canadian history story with never-before published details about the efforts in the early 1990s to discover the remains of HMS Speedy in Lake Ontario. With exclusive access to the personal papers of Ed Burtt\, the diver who undertook three years of exploration in the water south of Presqu’ile Point\, Buchanan helps us understand what was found and what it might mean. Why was Ed Burt 99.99% sure he had found the remains of HMS Speedy? This presentation will answer that question and leave you with more to ask. \n

SUMMARY:Town of York HS Online Speaker Series: The Royal Mail From York
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\nIt is difficult for our 21st century selves to contemplate a time when handwriting was the only means of sending a thought any distance. When Toronto incorporated as a City in 1834\, it was already a bustling capital of just over 9000 inhabitants\, most of whom were recent immigrants\, having left family and friends across borders and oceans. But the new city was remote\, and isolated. And if these residents wanted to communicate farther than shouting distance\, there was only one way – by putting it in writing. \nThis illustrated presentation will highlight the history of the postal service in the Town of York and the importance of the Royal Mail in the early city of Toronto. \nHow to Attend\nThis is a virtual event. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. Details on how to join the lecture will be emailed to participants upon their registration. Participants can attend via computer\, tablet\, smartphone or dial-in via phone.

SUMMARY:Town of York HS Online Speaker Series: A Biography of Elizabeth Simcoe
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\nThe colonial history of Upper Canada often focuses on our first lieutenant-governor\, John Graves Simcoe\, but over the past 200 years\, his wife Elizabeth has often been overlooked. However\, it’d be impossible to properly describe the early life of either Upper Canada\, or its capital in the Town of York\, without referring to Elizabeth Simcoe. This presentation shares just a few of the most compelling points of her life story\, including her time on the Upper Canadian frontier\, and draws on her own paintings and diary entries\, to tell her story in her own words and images. \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 in Toronto’s First Post Office. \nHow to Attend\nThis is a virtual event. \nRegistration is required as space is limited. Details on how to join the lecture will be emailed to participants upon their registration. Participants can attend via computer\, tablet\, smartphone or dial-in via phone.
