SUMMARY:It Happened Here: The Train Arrives in Guelph
DESCRIPTION:Choo Choo! It’s the first Thursday of the month\, and that means it’s time for another episode of It Happened Here with our Education Coordinator Ken Irvine. In this episode\, Ken dives into the history of the railway in Guelph; from its inception in the 1850s to its operation present-day. \n“While the building and financing of Guelph railways were filled with controversy\, overspending\, nepotism and deceit\, the arrival of the train created an economic boom for the city\, businesses thrived\, farmers prospered\, and land prices rose steadily. We know today the development of rail – locally and across Canada – also came at a great cost to Indigenous people\, who were displaced from their homelands and hunting grounds as a result of settlement fueled by the growth of rail; and to Chinese railway workers and Black Railway porters who faced dangerous working conditions and discrimination.” \nThis episode will premiere Thursday\, August 4 at 7 pm on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Youtube. Tune in to learn more. \n\n\n \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Irish Canadian Rangers in Canada and Ireland\, 1915 -1917
DESCRIPTION:The Irish Canadian Rangers began as a Militia Regiment in 1915 after Catholic and Protestant Irish agreed to cooperate. After the battle of Second Ypres the regiment contributed a full company to the 60th Battalion and began a campaign to persuade Sam Hughes to promise that an Irish Canadian Rangers battalion would go overseas as the 199th under its own officers. Recruiting began in 1916 and continued despite the Easter Rebellion in Dublin and the growing turmoil in Ireland. The 199th struggled to reach full strength but responded favorably to a British request to tour Ireland before joining the 5th Canadian Division. \nDrawing upon research for his recent book Montreal At War 1914-1918\, Terry Copp examines both Irish and Canadian history in this dramatic\, formative period. \n \n\nAbout Terry Copp:\n \nTerry Copp is the leading scholar of Canada’s military role in the Second World War and an influential advocate for military history in both military and civilian post-secondary education. His books on battle exhaustion\, on 5th Canadian Infantry Brigade\, and his two volumes on the Canadians in Normandy and Northwest Europe\, Fields of Fire (2003) and Cinderella Army (2006) have led to a reinterpretation of Canadian soldiers’ effectiveness in 1944 and 1945. He was also the onscreen historian for the television series No Price Too High and a regular contributor to Legion Magazine. \nTerry has explored Canada’s European battlefields for more than thirty years with hundreds of students and members of the public. This interest in the battlefields of northwest Europe has led to the creation of battlefield memorials and the publication of a series of battlefield guidebooks. Terry is a dual Canadian and Irish citizen and has a long-standing interest in Irish history and connections with Canada \nTerry’s most recent project is Montreal at War 1914-18\, available now from the University of Toronto Press. \n\nMissed the live event?

SUMMARY:It Happened Here: Illuminating Guelph
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Dining Room at American Hotel circa 1910\, 2013.72.90\, Guelph Museums \nStep out of the darkness and into the light! On this episode of It Happened Here with Education Coordinator Ken Irvine\, we’re illuminating the history of gas and electricity in Guelph\, Ontario. \n“Guelph’s town council was very eager to find some way to bring light and potential prosperity to the city. In the 1860’s\, 25 kerosene streetlamps were erected at a cost of $5.75 each\, to bring some light to the downtown. To save money they were only lit when the moon was not out. The town hall caretaker\, Mr. William Edwards\, was given the job of lighting the streetlamps. With his ladder and small 2 wheeled cart he was out every evening to light the lamps and every morning to put the lights out\, fill them with kerosene\, trim the wicks and clean the glass.” \nThis episode will premiere Thursday\, October 6\, at 7 pm on Facebook\, Instagram\, and Youtube.

SUMMARY:History Bites: From the Vault - Uranium Glass and Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. One of the women featured in Iron Willed: Women in STEM\, Marie discovered polonium and radium\, championed the use of radiation in medicine and drastically changed our understanding of radioactivity. \nCurie’s scientific journey began by studying radiation\, recently discovered in uranium by Henri Becquerel. She found that an ore containing uranium was far more radioactive than could be explained by its uranium content. In this special episode of History Bites: From the Vault\, Visitor Experiences Assistant Anna will take you into our collection to explore the history of Uranium Glass! \nHistory Bites is a monthly series of bite-sized conversations inspired by current exhibitions and stories from the collection. \n\nWatch the episode:

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Missing Memorials? How Canada has Commemorated the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner image: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth unveiling the National War Memorial in Ottawa\, May 22\, 1939. Toronto Star Photograph Archive\, TSPA_0122512F. \nThe war memorials that dot communities across the country are the sites of the most important public ceremonies of the civic calendar. They hearken back to our history\, they help us remember our war dead\, and they help us envision the future. But they have histories of their own.  \nThis talk by Thomas Littlewood presents new research which reconsiders our understandings of these memorials\, when they were built\, and what they mean. \n\nAbout Thomas Littlewood:\nThomas Littlewood is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph. His research considers how Canada has commemorated the Second World War. Originally from New Brunswick\, Thomas is interested in how local communities engage with their pasts—this includes commemoration\, museums\, and memory. He has degrees from Mount Allison University\, the University of New Brunswick\, and Western University. \n \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n \n  \n\nMissed the live event?

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The Evolution of Canadian Export Policy\, 1946-1991
DESCRIPTION:“Things that go ‘Krump’ in the Night”: The Evolution of Canadian Export Policy\, 1946-1991 is presented by Paul Esau. \nFor more than three decades\, successive Canadian governments have tied themselves in knots to justify the sale of Canadian-produced weapons to Saudi Arabia. Yet the Saudi sales are only the latest chapter in a history of arms sales to conflict regions which extends back to the Second World War\, and includes customers from all over the world. These sales have contradicted both Canada’s foreign policy in general\, as well as the specific military export restrictions which are supposed to constrain Canadian arms sales to certain destinations. \nFrom a historical perspective this hypocrisy is the norm\, rather than the exception. For nearly 80 years the Canadian government has been attempting to decide what can be sold to whom\, and why – while constantly revising its decision to allow for the next lucrative arms sale. Still\, how does a country which has consistently committed to upholding democracy\, human rights and peacekeeping also justify consistently selling weapons to undemocratic and repressive regimes in conflict regions? The answer reveals a remarkable story of creative policy-making\, bureaucratic bumbling\, cultivated innocence\, and occasional scandal. \nCanadian-made LAVs being transported along the 401 highway in Ontario (c. 2019).

He has interned with several Canadian peace and disarmament organizations\, including Project Ploughshares and the Canadian Landmines Foundation\, and teaches classes on nuclear\, chemical\, biological\, and conventional arms control. He lives in Kitchener with his wife\, Heidi\, and their hedgehog Juniper. \n\nMiss the live event?

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: Men and Morale - Canadian Army Training in the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Soldiers attending a field lecture in Vernon\, BC\, Canada\, ca. 1940. (Museum and Archives of\nVernon\, #9678) \nWatch the recording.\nThe Canadian Army of the Second World War spent more time preparing and training their citizen soldiers then they did in sustained action. This chiefly took place across Canada and in the United Kingdom. Adequate training functioned as a cradle for collective action\, morale\, empowerment\, self-confidence\, and\, ultimately\, success in battle. Yet\, due to a number of factors\, a sufficient standard of training was not always achieved by all. \nThere were limits to the Canadian Army’s ability to control the morale of its men as it created a vast organization from scratch. Training camp experiences varied\, influenced by factors such as food\, weather\, comfort\, group cohesion\, leadership\, skill level\, discipline\, social activities\, and interactions with local civilians. In fact\, it required a constant negotiation between camp leadership and the rank and file. Drawing from her research on both the Canadian and wider Commonwealth armies\, Megan Hamilton’s presentation will explain why soldiers’ morale in training was a difficult\, yet vital\, balancing act. \n“Men and Morale – Canadian Army Training in the Second World War” takes place Thursday\, January 19\, 2023 at 7 pm. The lecture premieres both in-person at the Civic Museum\, and online via our Facebook livestream. The recorded conversation will be available on Facebook\, YouTube\, and our Museum Everywhere Portal after the event. \nTo attend the conversation in-person\, registration is required through Eventbrite. \nGuelph Museums’ Military Lecture series is presented in partnership with the Laurier Centre for the Study of Canada. \n\nAbout Megan Hamilton:\n \nOriginally from Vernon\, British Columbia\, Megan Hamilton is a social and military historian of the 20th century. She has an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Waterloo. Her federally-funded master’s research focused on the Canadian experience of the Second World War\, specifically the Vernon Military Camp. Megan’s work has been published by a number of platforms and in 2022 she won the Tri-University History Program’s top essay prize for master’s students. \nShe is currently located in London\, England\, where she has begun a fully-funded PhD at King’s College London and the Imperial War Museum\, supervised by Dr. Jonathan Fennell. Her dissertation is a study of Second World War army training across the Commonwealth.

DESCRIPTION:Banner image: “Vimy” and its Mother. The foal was born on the height from which it takes its name. (20th Bty.\, C.F.A.)  \nHorses and mules were essential to the ability of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces to operate in the First World War.

SUMMARY:No Word For Art: Exploring the Indigenous Roots of Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Told from historical and contemporary perspectives\, and through the story of beads\, guest curator Naomi Smith shares the ways of the First Nations people of the Woodlands and Northeastern regions of Ontario. No Word for Art features Indigenous beadworks as creative expressions of survival\, crafted by historical artists. The exhibition also includes contemporary beadworks that reflect traditional beading techniques and imagery. \n“Honouring our traditions is my voice within and beyond my culture and community. Traditionally\, there is no word for ‘art’ in Native languages\, yet artistry and visual expression are critical in defining who we are as First Nations people. It is this path I wish to exemplify through my teachings and my work.”\n— Naomi Smith
