SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society - May 1 Meeting BRICK by BRICK: Swansea Public School\, 1890-2020
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us for the next monthly meeting of the Swansea Historical Society\, scheduled for 7:30 pm\, Wednesday\, May 1\, 2024.  The meeting will be held in the Rousseau Room of the Swansea Town Hall.  \n\n \n\nIn our final meeting before we break for the summer\, the Swansea Historical Society welcomes speaker Chris Higgins.   In seventeen years as a teacher at Swansea Public School\, Chris curated the school archives as a hobby. Upon his retirement in 2020\, he decided to leave a record behind.  Adding files from the City of Toronto Archives\, Toronto Star\, and Globe and Mail\, as well as input from the community and rare documents\, Chris’s book\, BRICK by BRICK: Swansea Public School\, 1890-2020\, was the result and it forms the topic of our May 1 meeting.\n\n\nBrick by Brick adds important chapters to the story of Toronto.  Students of Swansea Public School were residents of a suburban village before the Village of Swansea was absorbed by Canada’s largest urban centre in 1967.   The school had been built in a prime spot in 1890\, where it remains a perfect place to learn and play.  Over time\, the school has faced its share of challenges\, including wars\, and pandemics\, and 130-odd years of growth and change. \nIn addition to Brick by Brick\, Chris has also published Riverstoryz: Conversations on the Humber and he is currently working on a third book\, one that marries his love of history and true crime\, entitled Hanging on Every Word: Toronto in the Age of Execution. \n\n \nThe meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format so that participants can attend in-person at the Swansea Town Hall or connect on-line using the Zoom tool.  Here (and on the SHS website) is the link for joining the meeting on-line.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHS – May Meeting\n\n\nTime: May 1\, 2024 07:15 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89216911799?pwd=ZWy3pXxxkHi60B3t4XzZy3QTKWlLBg.1\n\nMeeting ID: 892 1691 1799\nPasscode: 333003\n\n\n\nThe Zoom connection will be open by 7:15 pm on May 1.  If possible\, we suggest that on-line participants start tuning in as soon as the link is open\, so that we can be ready to kick off the meeting at 7:30 pm sharp.\n\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome!!

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society April 2019 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kelly Mathews – “The Road to Marylake” \nIn 2018\, we enjoyed a most entertaining talk by author Kelly Mathews on the subject of Lady Flora Eaton’s lavish country estate in King Township. We are delighted that Kelly will be returning to talk about the subject of her latest book which deals with “Marylake”\, the neighbouring country estate of Sir Henry Pellatt\, better known as the builder of Casa Loma. (For those wishing to check out these historic properties\, the Eaton estate is now the King Campus of Seneca College\, while the Pellatt Estate is now the site of the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace. The two properties are north of the 15th Sideroad and west of Dufferin Ave). \n  \n

SUMMARY:Swansea Historical Society March 2019 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Maniezzo – “When Swansea Was Dry” \nDid you know that the sale of alcoholic beverages was prohibited in the Province of Ontario between 1916 and 1927\, or that some municipalities\, including Swansea\, were “dry” for even longer periods of time\, under a provision known as “Local Option”? A restaurant partly in Swansea and partly in York Township could serve alcohol in the back half but not the front half. For many years it was thought that the south side of Bloor Street between Jane and Runnymede was legally “dry”\, when in fact it was not. John Maniezzo will talk about these and other quirky stories as he explores the history of alcohol sales in Swansea and its neighbouring municipalities.
