SUMMARY:Between the Crosses\, Row on Row: 100 Years of the Remembrance Poppy
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War\, the horrors of trench warfare\, poison gas and tanks wrought carnage never before seen. About 9 million military personnel and 20 million civilians lost their lives in The Great War. \nThe devastation of war created fertile ground for the Papaver rhoeas to take seed and grow. Poppy seeds can remain dormant in the soil for as long as 100 years. Trench digging\, bombs\, and mass cemeteries caused millions of poppies to bloom in the disrupted soil across Europe. The common poppy would become the symbol of wartime sacrifice and remembrance. \nBeginning with Guelph-born Lt. Col. John McCrae’s 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields”\, this exhibition tells the story of the poppy as it evolved to be an enduring symbol of remembrance in Canada and around the world. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Poppy\, Decoration Day 1921\, Canadian War Museum 19720228-001\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Cover of Guelph Horticultural Society Annual\, Flowering Shrub\, Hedge and Vine Issue\, 1972\nGuelph Museums 1987.44.14\n				\n		\n\nBanner Image: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/the-poppies-of-flanders/\n

SUMMARY:Guelph Girls Hockey Association at 25 Years
DESCRIPTION:Image: 2010 GGHA Bantam BB Provincial Champions salute their families and friends after 1-0 win in overtime (vs Waterloo Ravens). April 2010. Photo credit: Sandra Pitts \nGuelph’s history in organized ice sport includes hockey\, ringette\, curling\, speed skating\, and figure skating. Guelph Museums’ collection shares the stories of many Guelph athletes who have competed at provincial\, national\, and international levels and reflects the enduring interest in recreational ice sport. \nMen’s hockey dates to 1908 – from the Guelph Royals\, the Guelph Holody Platers\, and the Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters to the Guelph CMC (Central Mechanical Contractors)\, the Guelph Beef Kings\, and the present-day Guelph Storm. \nBut the story of women’s hockey in Guelph has yet to be told – until now. \nThe exhibition Guelph Girls Hockey Association at 25 Years traces the history of the Guelph Girls Hockey Association. Since 1996\, GGHA has offered recreational and competitive hockey for female players\, centred in physical fitness\, self-esteem\, and confidence building\, and on the development of volunteers and community leaders. \nGuelph has become a well-respected centre in Ontario for the development of female hockey players. With just 75 participants in the first season\, GGHA now includes 450 players across seventeen house league teams and eleven travel teams in five divisions (ages 5 to 20 plus)\, under the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association. \nFrom 1996 to 2013\, the GGHA travel teams were known as the Guelph Thunder. In 2013\, GGHA entered into a partnership with the University of Guelph. Now known as the Guelph Jr. Gryphons\, they are champions\, medalists\, and leaders in women’s hockey across the province. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				GGHA Bantam A forward Amelia Edmunds flying past a defender during the St. Catharines tournament.

SUMMARY:Mind the Gap - Intergenerational Connectivity between Seniors and Youth
DESCRIPTION:Image: Zoom Call Screen Capture of Wren & Suad drawing each other’s hands\, 2021 \nOrganized by Centre[3] for Artistic & Social Practice (Hamilton\, ON) and presented at Guelph Civic Museum\, Mind the Gap is an exhibition of artworks created by a community of seniors and youths working with practicing artists in Hamilton and Guelph. Through co-creative artmaking\, the project aimed to decrease isolation among the participants and to bridge their generational gap. \nCentred in collaborative storytelling\, multimedia installation\, and experimental portraiture\, artists Becky Katz and Chyler Sewell in Hamilton and Dawn Matheson in Guelph were each joined by three seniors and three youths\, paired together: Joanne and Janeil\, Suad and Wren\, and Judith and Subomi. \nThe co-creative elements of the project were originally meant to take place in person. Due to the pandemic and required safety measures\, Mind the Gap developed in the virtual realm. The community participants took part in the program digitally. The artists fostered an inviting space that encouraged creativity\, trust\, intimacy\, experimentation\, compassion\, humour\, vulnerability\, and genuine connection. The artists and participants bonded with one another despite their physical distance. \nThe seniors and youths met as strangers at the start of the project. Through virtual workshops\, they learned to be attentive to each other’s needs and to engage with curiosity\, empathy\, and affection. They developed and applied new creative skills\, shared knowledge and interests\, practiced active listening\, and reflected on their own and each other’s identity\, culture\, and belonging. \nThe artworks\, co-created by the senior and youth pairs\, are on view in the Mind the Gap exhibition. Through their art\, visitors to the exhibition will discover how strangers became friends\, barriers became opportunities\, and digital meetings became physical artworks. \n\n\n\n	"Cat Moms" collaborative mixed media by Janeil\, Joanne\, and Becky\, 2021  \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 1' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 2' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Multimedia 'Zoom Dissolve Still 3' by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n	Digital Photograph of Judith\, Subomi\, and Becky by Dawn Matheson\, 2021 \n\n\n\n\n  \nMind the Gap: Intergenerational Connectivity between Seniors and Youth was funded by the Ontario Arts Council. This project was made possible by Alex Jacobs Blum\, Ron Siu\, Alex Borghesan\, Colina Maxwell\, and Arturo Jimenez of Centre[3]\, by lead artists Dawn Matheson\, Becky Katz\, and Chyler Sewell\, and by community participants Joanne and Janeil\, Suad and Wren\, and Judith and Subomi. \nWatch History Bites: Mind the Gap\, a conversation with the artists and facilitators behind the project: \n\n\n
