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.
