This compelling exhibition examines racism in Canada and encourages visitors to recognize bias\, challenge discrimination and appreciate our differences. The exhibition will open on 8 July 2023\, thanks in part to the generous support of the City of Thunder Bay’s Anti-Racism & Equity Advisory Committee and Matawa First Nations. The exhibit will be open to the public at “pay what you can admission” until 25 September 2023. \nFree Museum admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Nancy Angus - Places and Faces: The Stories behind the Stories of Place During a Pandemic and Today
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the Places and Faces project. This will be an in-person event that is free to view. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date. \nClick here to view the webinar \nDESCRIPTION: \nJoin Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the PLACES & FACES project as we share its stories. Learn more about the concept of placemaking and hear how our storytellers\, all 65 years or better\, captured their stories digitally (in videos composed of photos and voice-overs)\, as audio recordings and as written accounts. \nPLACES & FACES asked storytellers to recognize a place or places that fostered a sense of connection and belonging to their community\, outside of their home. With senior centres and other facilities closed during the pandemic\, we heard many stories about how older adults engaged in placemaking to overcome barriers to social connection. This project demonstrated how resilient and creative people can be in making those connections. \nPlacemaking is often concerned with planning\, designing\, and managing public spaces in ways “that promote people’s health\, happiness\, and well-being.” Emerging research is now focusing on placemaking as a way that people “transform physical spaces into socially relevant and meaningful places.” PLACES & FACES has gathered some of the stories that highlight how older adults in Thunder Bay are actively creating and negotiating their sense of place as they age. \nJoin Nancy and our storytellers as we celebrate their stories and learn from their experiences. Through stories such as these\, we hope to inspire others\, young and old alike\, to find or create their own places. In doing so\, they can help others who are physically isolated or feeling lonely to find connections that matter as well. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Lakehead University Graduate Students - Christine Green and Haileigh Riddell
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Lakehead University Graduate Students Christine Green and Haileigh Riddell. This will be a in-person event that is free to view. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in-person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date. \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR\n  \nChristine Green\, Constructing a Collective Past: Locating Indigenous Histories in Local Narratives \nTruth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action #67 calls for the federal government to undertake a national review of museum policies and best practices to determine compliance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and make recommendations. Of specific importance is UNDRIP Article 15.1\, outlining Indigenous peoples’ right to have their cultures\, traditions\, and histories appropriately represented in education and public information. \nOne of the main ways the public interacts with Canadian history is through museums and public history initiatives. So\, the question becomes what representations of Indigenous histories are being presented in museums? This presentation will examine exhibition and programming practices in museums located in Northwestern Ontario in order to analyze the collective imagining of community histories in relation to Indigenous peoples. By examining exhibits\, programming\,  and outreach materials at various museums across Northwestern Ontario a pattern of representation emerges where Indigenous histories are relegated to the fur trade era and earlier. This presentation will examine why this pattern exists\, what museums are doing to correct it\, and what museums need in order to support the major changes required. \nHaileigh Riddell\, Eugenics: A comparison of Ontario and Alberta while examining the connection to Northwestern Ontario \nHer presentation compares the Eugenics Society of Canada\, based in Ontario\, and the Alberta Eugenics Board\, while examining the connection to Northwestern Ontario. In comparing the two provincial eugenic organizations\, the talk explores the similarities and differences in key policies\, legislation\, and public sentiment\, while discussing the lasting impact of eugenic practices in Canada. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum: PLACES & FACES: Gathering Older Adults’ Stories of Connecting\, Belonging\, Placemaking in Thunder Bay
DESCRIPTION:The Thunder Bay Museum and Age BIG invite you to be a volunteer storyteller in our legacy project “PLACES & FACES:  Gathering Older Adults’ Stories of Connecting\, Belonging\, Placemaking in Thunder Bay”. \nWhat is the Project? \nWe are seeking applications from 7 older adults who want to share a story about a favourite place you sought out during the pandemic or a meaningful place that you enjoy today. Each storyteller will produce a 2-4-minute multimedia video called a digital story. \nOur Age BIG team has spearheaded the GIANTs digital project story series. Thunder Bay older adults 58 to 98 created digital stories that have been seen in classrooms and at conferences around the world. To view the GIANTs stories go to http://www.storycentre.ca/giants-thunder-bay \nPLACES & FACES storytellers will meet other interesting people and make memories! Your video\, with your permission\, will be showcased by the Thunder Bay Museum to help others consider seeking out places that help them connect in their community. \nYou can also participate in this exciting project by submitting a poem\, short story (300 words or less) or recipe that speaks to a meaningful place in your life. \nWhat is the focus of PLACES & FACES? \nOur goal is for storytellers to focus on unconventional places that have helped you foster a sense of connection and belonging to your community. This project will compile stories that will inspire peers and educate younger people about how to connect focusing on place. With senior’s centers and other facilities closing during the pandemic\, we heard many stories about how older adults engaged in placemaking to overcome barriers to social connection\, so stories may include places like: \n–Online: people who have connected to new friends using technology; \n–Grocery store: the solo-living person who engages with shoppers/employees; \n–Portable chair: a person who sets up their chair in a park to chat to people; \n–Laundry room: the person who strikes up conversation with neighbours in the laundry room in their building; \n–Neighbourhood: the neighbour who opened her apartment door to play the piano for her neighbours to listen from their apartments\, or a walking route that you discovered in your area; \n–Historic places:  a building that a person worked in or lived in like the former Eaton’s store\, a municipal outdoor pool that you helped to build\, or a hospital where your children were born. \nWhat is Placemaking? \nPlacemaking is often concerned with planning\, designing\, and managing “public spaces in ways that promote people’s health\, happiness\, and well-being.”  Emerging research is now focusing on placemaking as ways that people “transform physical spaces into socially relevant and meaningful places.”  Through this storytelling project\, we hope to capture stories that highlight how older adults in Thunder Bay are actively creating and negotiating their sense of place as they age. \nWhat is the goal of PLACES & FACES? \nPLACES & FACES is to celebrate and learn from the storytellers by giving you a platform to share.  We’ll gather and share your stories to inspire others\, young and old alike\, to find or create places and connections that matter.  We’ll help you ever step of the way but the final story that you choose to share is your story. \nWhat do I do during the Digital Storytelling Workshop? \nYou’ll attend a 3-day in-person session from December 1 to 3rd at the Thunder Bay Museum\, 425 Donald Street East where you will participate in story circles and with the help of our facilitator and fabulous coaches\, you will make a personal 3-minute (300 word) video using photos\, a script (approximately 250-300 word script)\, and perhaps music and/or sounds. You do not need to have any computer experience to take part! Meals will be provided. There is no cost to participate. \nI’m Interested! Who do I Contact? \nDigital story tellers will be chosen from a pool of interested candidates. We will select 7 digital storytellers to participate in the December 1\, 2\, and 3 creation workshop and at least 10 written stories (300 words or less) and/or poems and or/recipes. \nIf you have a story to tell\, and want to discuss the project\, please contact: \nNancy Angus\, nancy@agebig.com or 807-627-3564 or Dannielle Pesheau at education@thunderbaymuseum.ca. \nTo apply\, please register at https://thunderbaymuseum1.wildapricot.org/event-5021593.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Oula Seitsonen - Finnish-Canadian Homestead Research
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Oula Seitsonen\, chair in Finnish Studies at Lakehead University\, 2022‑2023. This will be a in-person event that is free to view. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in-person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date.   \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WEBINAR\nFinnish-Canadian homestead research in the footsteps of archaeologist Sakari Pälsi \nThis lecture describes ongoing contemporary archaeological research on the material heritage of Finnish-Canadian immigrants and on retracing the footsteps of Finnish archaeological pioneer Sakari Pälsi who traveled across Canada in 1927. In October 2022\, my Canadian colleagues and I carried out archaeological\, ethnographic\, and anthropological work at a Finnish homestead in Tarmola\, Gorham Township\, where the great-grandparents of my colleague Meaghan Peuramäki-Brown lived since 1924. This work will be the Canadian part of our cross-Atlantic co-operation: in tandem with the fieldwork at the Kainulainen homestead in Tarmola\, we will study their ancestral farm in eastern Finland. Material culture approach to recent past historical events can reveal new and unexpected perceptions of seemingly familiar subjects\, like everyday lives and foodways\, and even such unanticipated issues as folk magic and beliefs\, as suggested already by our preliminary work. Besides the archaeological work in Tarmola\, I have retraced the travels of famous Finnish archaeologist Sakari Pälsi and his wife across Canada 95 years ago; I have earlier followed Pälsi’s wide-ranging travels in Finland\, Russia\, and Mongolia. On the trip from Quebec to Vancouver Island and back Pälsi visited Finnish communities and homesteads\, logging sites\, bush camps\, and mines\, and documented the lifeways of immigrants and the landscapes that they lived in. Port Arthur\, the “great city of Finns”\, was one of Pälsi’s main destinations on his journey. I have revisited and re-documented most of the locations along Pälsi’s trail\, and also returned his photographs to the local museums along the way. Sakari Pälsi’s insightful ethnographic notes and photographs provide also relevant background material for our multidisciplinary work at the Kainulainen homestead in Tarmola. \nSpeaker Bio \nOula Seitsonen (Sakarin-Pentin Ilarin Oula) is a chair in Finnish Studies at Lakehead University\, 2022‑2023. He is an archaeologist and geographer at the University of Oulu\, Finland\, and his research interests cover a wide range of themes\, both temporally and geographically\, from the archaeology of early pastoralism in Fennoscandia (Sápmi)\, Mongolia\, and East Africa\, to traces of the 21st-century refugee crises. At Lakehead\, he is pursuing a project on the material heritage of Finnish immigrants. Focusing on the 1927 cross-Canada trip of Finnish archaeological pioneer Sakari Pälsi. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum (In-Person and Virtual) Lecture: Mark Scharf - Child of Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Society for this in-person and virtual event that is free to view.  The lecture will be broadcast live via MS Teams.    \nThis lecture is being presented in support of the traveling exhibit  “And in 1948\, I came to Canada”: The Holocaust in Six Dates  on display at the Thunder Bay Museum from April 6th until June 26th 2022. \nMark Scharf will be discussing his parents’ experiences during the Holocaust and how they managed to survive; including help by gentile friends and neighbours\, and in his father’s case\, initiative in convincing a large number of his family to join him to live in the forest. He will also be discussing the Holocaust’s impact on the children of Holocaust survivors\, including his own experiences. \nBio: \nMark Scharf was born October 10\,1945 in a Displaced Persons camp in Germany. Lived in Poland till 1950 when my family moved to Israel\, and in 1953 moved from Israel to Canada. \nGraduated from the University of Toronto Law School in spring of 1971 after undergraduate studies there. During my undergraduate years I also received a Commission in the Canadian Army through the C.O.T.C. (Canadian Officers Training Corps). Married Joanne Cohen on August 21\, 1971 and celebrated 50th wedding anniversary in August 2021. Called to the bar of the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Law Society of Ontario) in March of 1973. \nMoved to Barrie Ontario in 1974 and opened solo law office. The practice evolved over time so that my practice became primarily a civil litigation one with a good dose of family law. Two daughters\, Sara and Deborah\, were born in the early years in Barrie \nI became active in community work and among other activities the most significant were my 9 years on the Barrie Hospital Board and four years on the Barrie Police Services Board. I was Chairman of the hospital board in my last two years on it\, and Vice Chair of the Police Services Board in my last two years there. I was a Deputy Small Claims Court Judge of some 25 years and was a Dispute Resolution Officer in Family Court after retirement from my law practice. \nIn August 2005 after I closed my office my wife and I sailed our boat south to the Florida Keys on an eight month adventure. In 2007 we built our home on a 57 acre forested property on which we live. I belong to the Huronia Woodland Owners Association and am a past director of its Board. We are active and enjoy sailing our boat on Georgian Bay\, snow shoeing and cross country skiing on the property\, making new trails on it\,  gardening\, and I enjoy cutting firewood from deadfall. I also enjoy ice fishing. We are both bookworms and read extensively. We take pride in our daughters’\, grandson’s\, and son-in-law’s accomplishments. What more can one ask? \n\nALL ATTENDEES OLDER THAN 5 YEARS WILL NEED TO SHOW PROOF\, AT THE TIME OF ENTRY TO THE MUSEUM\, OF VACCINATION FOR COVID-19 USING A QR CODE.
