SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Canada's Missing of the Great War 1914-1918 and Modern Discovery
DESCRIPTION:The announcements\, once infrequent\, are a monthly occurrence now. It is a sad or pleasing reality depending on your perspective\, that after more than a century\, the fields of France and Belgium are surrendering an increasing number of Canadian soldiers of the Great War. It was inevitable with the expansion of housing and industry into the old battlefields combined with large infrastructure projects that cut through the heart of battlefields where intense fighting once took place. \nThrough writing and research\, Glenn Kerr seeks to shine a light into a chapter of Canadian and Commonwealth history where the soldiers and closest loved ones can no longer speak for themselves. How is our modern world dealing with these new logistical challenges and the endless sensitive considerations for soldiers whose closest family members have also passed into memory? More than a century after the Armistice\, the missing of the Great War have reappeared in modern memory and their descendants are waiting and watching as protectorates of that memory. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation starts at 7 p.m.\, followed by a question period. \nThe lecture premieres in-person at the Civic Museum. The recorded conversation will be available on YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal. Guelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \nAbout Glenn Kerr\n \nChairman of the Central Ontario Branch of the Western Front Association \nNational Award-Winning Freelance Historical Writer and Researcher \nAwarded the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers by the Governor General of Canada for historical contributions to Canada and connecting families with their past. \nEditor and Publisher of Maple Leaf Magazine -An internationally circulated periodical devoted to Canada’s legacy of sacrifice and achievement during the First World War and beyond. \nBattlefield explorer.

SUMMARY:Faces to Names: Remembrance Discovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a photograph\, letter\, document or personal object connected to someone\nnamed on the Guelph Cenotaph? Faces to Names invites you to bring these items\, and their stories\, to\nRemembrance Discovery Day. The event supports a local remembrance project for Guelph’s 2027 bicentennial\, helping uncover the lives behind the names on the Cenotaph. Family photographs and keepsakes can reveal details that official records alone cannot: a person’s interests\, relationships and everyday life before military service. \n“Remembrance Discovery Day is a litle like Antiques Roadshow\, but the value we’re looking for is in the\nstories\,” says Karen Hunter\, Founder and Executive Director of Faces to Names. “A photograph or letter\ncan reveal someone’s personality—their humour\, interests\, and hopes for the future. These personal\ndetails help students connect with the people behind the names on our Cenotaph\, making remembrance\nmore meaningful and relevant.” \nRemembrance Discovery Day builds on student workshops held at Guelph Civic Museum in October\, helping students put their learning into practice through conversations with community members and the careful documentation of historical material. With contributor’s permission\, suitable digital copies and stories may support future Faces to Names profiles. Residents who have an item to share are encouraged to register. Owners will take their original items home. \nThe invitation is specifically for material connected to individuals commemorated on the Guelph Cenotaph “Families don’t need to have a complete history\,” adds Hunter. “Even a single photograph or a small piece of information could provide an important clue.” \nFor information and registration\, please email Faces to Names via hello@facestonames.ca \n \nAbout Faces to Names\nFaces to Names is a registered charity dedicated to making remembrance meaningful and relevant for\nyoung Canadians. Its innova[ve digital plaeorm helps students research the people behind the names on\nlocal war memorials and create verified historical profiles. Its Guelph 200 project aims to connect the\nnames on the Guelph Cenotaph with the lives and stories of those commemorated. Learn more at\nhttps://www.facestonames.ca/.
