SUMMARY:Every Child Matters
DESCRIPTION:Acknowledging the legacy of Canada’s Residential School system and its impact on Indigenous communities\, past\, present and future. \nWhat is Residential School? \nThe term “Residential School” refers to the education system that forced Indigenous children into mainstream “Canadian” ways of living. The practice removed Indigenous children from their families\, languages\, customs\, and traditional teachings. \nThere were 139 Indian residential schools funded and operated by the federal government. Opened in 1828 and located only 50 kilometres from Guelph\, the Mohawk Institute Residential School was the first and longest continually operated residential school in Canada. It closed in 1970\, after 142 years. \nThe Orange Shirt Story \nPhyllis Webstad (Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation) started the Orange Shirt Society in 2013 based on her experience at the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake\, British Columbia. Phyllis grew up on Dog Creek Reservation with her grandmother. In 1973\, at six years old\, Phyllis was to attend the local residential school. Her grandmother purchased a beautiful orange shirt for her to wear on the first day. Phyllis was nervous and excited\, as she was not sure what to expect. Upon arriving to the St. Joseph Mission Residential School in her brand new orange shirt\, it was stripped from her body never to be returned. \n“The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter\, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us little children were crying and no one cared.” \n– Phyllis Webstad \nThe Orange Shirt Society \nThe Orange Shirt Society witnesses and honours the healing journey of residential school survivors and their families. The society aims to create conversations about the residential school system\, among all Canadians. Their message is simple: Every Child Matters. \nOrange Shirt Day \nAnnually on September 30\, we wear orange shirts to commemorate the survivors of residential school.   It was the time of year when children were taken from their homes and sent to residential schools. Today\, we must talk about anti-racism and anti-bullying. Let’s come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. \nFor more information visit: www.orangeshirtday.org \nPhyllis Webstad\, author of The Orange Shirt Story\, wears a 2019 Orange Shirt Day T-shirt\, designed by Vinita Rathod\, a grade twelve student from Richmond\, B.C.

SUMMARY:Her Story: Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County
DESCRIPTION:In fall 2019\, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) approached Guelph Museums about an exhibition that would mark the 75th anniversary of CFUW Guelph. Through the stories of local women\, who fought for the advancement of the status of women\, the exhibition began to take shape. The goal was to write the history of Her Story and to share women’s legacies in Guelph\, past and present. \nThen\, in March 2020\, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the temporary closure of Guelph Museums. What began as a display in the museum became a major research project and a virtual exhibition. \nCFUW Guelph sought a partnership with the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute and the College of Arts at the University of Guelph. Under the guidance of Professor Catherine Carstairs\, nine students undertook the research and writing and the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory agreed to host the virtual exhibition. \nHer Story: Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County celebrates women who have led the way towards a diverse and gender inclusive community. The project aimed to share the stories of cisgender women\, trans women\, two-spirit\, and gender non-conforming people. We recognize the historical barriers faced by all women. We acknowledge that Black\, Indigenous and People of Colour and LGBTQ2IA+ women have faced and continue to face even greater barriers. \nThe featured trailblazers are activists\, artists\, caregivers\, health care workers\, mothers\, politicians\, scientists\, and writers\, as well as women-led organizations. We celebrate their accomplishments. They show us that change is possible. \nHer Story: Women Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County Virtual Exhibition\nFeatured Trailblazers\nTito Alawode\, Kim Anderson\, Parvathi Basrur\, Lois Betteridge\, Norma Bowen\, Deanna Clatworthy\, Amy Ellard-Gray\, Karen Farbridge\, Anne Godfrey\, Adelaide Hoodless\, Gwen Jacob\, Suzy Lake\, Jean Little\, Marisse Scott\, Shakiba Shayani\, Jan Sherman\, Audny-Cashae Stewart\, Gayle Valeriote\, Marva Wisdom\, and Anne-Marie Zajdlik \nTrailblazing Organizations\nCanadian Federation of University Women – Guelph\, Chalmers Community Services\, Guelph-Wellington Women In Crisis\, The Suffrage Movement in Guelph and Wellington County\, and Zonta Club of Guelph \nStudent Researchers\nTanesha Black\, Julia Cole\, Shelby Mawson\, Sofia Mayer\, Emma Ongman\, Brittany Pompilii\, Anne Sanatagi\, Nicole Scott\, and Katrina Stephany \nAcknowledgements\nThe project benefitted from the invaluable guidance of Susan Brown\, Kim Martin\, Mihaela Ilovan\, and Thomas Smith of the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory. CFUW Guelph\, through Isobel Boyle\, Mary McEwen and Teresa McKeeman\, provided inspiration and key support. Many historians shared their research in women’s history and the history of Guelph. Thank you to Heidi Bohaker\, Christine Bold\, Vicki Hodgkinson\, Franca Iacovetta\, Kris Inwood\, Melissa McAfee\, and Alison Norman. Trailblazers were nominated by Denise Francis of the Guelph Black Heritage Society\, Sarah Dermer at Chalmers Community Services\, and Amanda Derksen at the Guelph Chamber of Commerce\, as well as by individuals from across the region. \nProject Partners\n   \nRelated Events:\n\n\n\n \nHistory Bites – Her Story: Trailblazers of Guelph and Wellington County\nWednesday\, October 21\, 12 to 1 p.m. | ONLINE\nJoin us Guelph Museums’ curator Dawn Owen for an online series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection.

SUMMARY:Liberation of Holland 1945: Trooper Clarence Oliver James
DESCRIPTION:Between 1939 and 1945\, the Second World War was an international conflict fought on land\, on sea and in the air. Canadian soldiers played a major role in the war\, including many from Guelph. Some of Guelph’s soldiers returned home\, but many died in battle and as prisoners of war. \nThe year 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In remembrance of those who fought and died in the fight for freedom\, Guelph Museums presents exhibitions that share the stories of two Guelph soldiers. \nThe first display\, titled Liberation of Holland 1945\, traces Canada’s central role in the conflict through the story of Trooper Clarence Oliver James of Guelph. As a tank driver with the 1st Hussars\, Trooper James was among the Canadian soldiers in the Rhineland on February 26\, 1945. It was a pivotal battle that triggered the end of the Second World War. The display includes artifacts on loan from the James family archive and from the Museums’ permanent collection. \nThe second display\, titled Scholar\, Soldier\, Spy\, tracks Germany’s role in inciting the Second World War and the establishment of the concentration camps that took over 6 million lives. This dark chapter in world history is recounted through the story of Captain John Kenneth Macalister of Guelph. Captain Macalister served in the Intelligence Corps. He was captured in occupied France and imprisoned at Buchenwald for more than a year before his death in 1944. The display includes photographs and artifacts from the Museums’ permanent collection. \nIn this 75th anniversary year of the end of the Second World War\, these exhibitions help us to remember the lives of these soldiers and to commemorate their deaths. On view at Guelph Museums until January 31\, 2021. \nRelated Events:\n\n\n\n \nHistory Bites – Second World War Remembered\nWednesday\, November 18\, 12 to 1 p.m. | ONLINE\nJoin us Guelph Museums’ curator Dawn Owen for an online series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection.
