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.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Lecture (Virtual & In Person): Bawlf and Stewart Grain Elevators Construction
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Bill Reist\, Friends of Grain Elevators\, Board of Directors \nThis webinar will be presented in person and virtually. \nCLICK HERE to watch the free webinar!\nJoin the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society and our partner the Friends of Grain Elevators as Bill Reist presents the fascinating construction of the twin Bawlf and Stewart grain elevators simultaneous construction in the summer of 1923. \nBill Reist is a retired Structural Engineer. He graduated from McMaster University in 1963 and came to Port Arthur to work for C. D. Howe Engineering in the fall of 1964. His experience with C. D. Howe included a great deal of design and construction work with grain elevators which were the core expertise of the company. \nHe was directly responsible for concept development\, detailed engineering design and construction of an inland terminal grain elevator in Indiana\, a waterfront terminal elevator in Windsor and many maintenance and remedial projects in Lakehead elevators. \nThe collateral expertise related to elevators includes marine structures to address shipping\, foundations of heavy industrial structures\, slipforming procedures unique to silo-shaped structures. He supervised the construction of a dock and breakwater in El Salvador which consisted of a series of slipformed concrete caissons and included ship handling features for berthing and mooring as well as providing protection for the port from strong ocean swells. \nThe C. D. Howe Company was sold on the 1990’s and Bill took his experience in construction to the mining field during the expansion of Lac des Iles mine in 2000.
