SUMMARY:Rotary in Guelph 1920–2020: 100 Years of Service Above Self
DESCRIPTION:Image: Rotarians of Guelph\, 1921 \nThe Beginning of Rotary in Guelph:\nOn February 23\, 1920\, 25 local business leaders hosted a meeting to organize a Rotary Club in Guelph. Under the direction of Alex Stewart\, the club held its Charter Night on April 9\, 1920 at the Royal Canadian Café. \nThe Rotary Club of Guelph has sponsored nine other Clubs in Guelph and the surrounding the region: Kitchener (1922)\, Orangeville (1936)\, Acton (1947)\, Drayton (1950)\, Georgetown (1955)\, Fergus (1966)\, Guelph Wellington (1986)\, Guelph Trillium (1995)\, and Guelph South (2003).\nEstablished in 1988\, the Rotary Club of Guelph Charitable Foundation is mandated “to solicit\, manage and allocate funds to support long term projects\, which enhance the quality of life in our community.” \nMembership in Rotary opened to women in 1989. Today\, approximately half of local Rotarians are women and female presidents lead three of the four local clubs. \nOver the past 100 years\, Rotary Guelph has realized many community projects and initiatives. One hundred percent of all profits from Rotary fundraising events go toward projects that help people in and beyond Guelph.

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:Guelph Circa 1999
DESCRIPTION:Like entering a time capsule\, visitors will discover Guelph of 20 years ago. Told through the stories of the people who spent time at The Bookshelf\, a cultural hub in this city since 1973. \nDowntown Guelph in the late 1990s was vibrant\, brimming with entrepreneurship\, and teeming with energy. Barb and Doug Minett were the owner-operators of The Bookshelf\, a cultural hub in downtown Guelph since 1973. They had the idea to capture Guelph’s unique social environment through a portrait series. Their concept was inspired by an exhibition they had seen in Toronto\, a salon-style installation of black-and-white portraits by German photographer August Sander (1876–1964). They commissioned Guelph photographer Dean Palmer. \nBarb\, Doug\, and Dean compiled a list of more than 100 downtown personalities\, local business owners\, and people who were shaping Guelph’s cultural community. They called the project The Greenroom Series\, after the dining space adjacent to the eBar\, where the portraits were exhibited. The title also alludes to the “green room” in theatre where performers can relax when they are not performing. The completed series featured 16 portraits of people photographed in their natural environments. \nFeaturing portraits of Andy the Barber\, Ian Findlay\, Jaqueline Gilbey\, Diego Hadarits\, Ajay Heble\, Tom King\, Grant Love\, Mark McAlpine\, Fred Mollison\, Harri Palm and Molly Kurvink\, Fredericka Potvin\, Ryan Price\, Joan Rentoul\, Tannis Slimmon\, Emma Smith\, and Jessica Steinhauser. \nThe Greenroom Series was donated to Guelph Museums’ permanent collection in 2018. This exhibition represents the series in its entirety\, encapsulating Guelph on the cusp of the new millennium. \n  \nRelated Events:\n \nHistory Bites: Guelph Circa 1999\nGuelph Museums curator Dawn Owen chats about Guelph Circa 1999 with special guests Ajay Heble\, Dean Palmer\, Ian Findlay\, Jessica Steinhauser\, and Mark McAlpine. Watch guests compete in a 90s trivia challenge\, as they reflect on the cultural life of Guelph in the 1990s.

SUMMARY:Lay of the Land
DESCRIPTION:You are here! This interactive exhibition will orient visitors in time and place through an installation of maps\, spanning time immemorial to present day. Lay of the Land invites all visitors to understand our complex relationship to the land\, past and present\, and to the place that we now call Guelph. \nCartography is the art\, science\, and technology of making maps\, plans\, charts\, and globes. The earliest surviving map\, drawn on a clay tablet found in the Middle East\, dates to 2300 BCE. The earlier known maps of Canada were created by European explorers\, seeking to find and secure trade routes to the Asian continent. Dated from about 1502 to 1506\, those maps depict the east coast of Newfoundland as an island in the North Atlantic. \nMapmaking was a well-developed practice among Indigenous peoples in what is now Canada. Indigenous navigational maps were drawn on impermanent materials\, accompanied by verbal descriptions and committed to memory. Lakes\, rivers\, and shorelines on most Indigenous maps differ from modern survey maps. Scale\, however\, was often measured by time (such as a day’s journey) and landmarks were accentuated to aid travellers. \n“Lay of the land” is a turn of phrase. It is a reference to the arrangement of features on the land\, as well as a metaphor for the current state of affairs. The exhibition\, Lay of the Land\, employs both meanings in recognition of our unique connections to places we call home. \nIndigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada\nThe exhibition features the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada (IPAC) floor map. It is on loan from Kids Can Press\, Canadian Geographic and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS). \nThe IPAC floor map is a resource that can assist our understanding of the past\, present and future of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It represents a diversity of stories and voices. The RCGS worked with Indigenous and ally educators and with organizations across Canada to create the map. \nVisit Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada for more information about the map and for learning activities. \n \n                 \n \n  \nRelated Events:\n \nHistory Bites: Lay of the Land\nWednesday\, February 17\, 12 p.m. \nFacebook Live \nGuelph Museums curator Dawn Owen will be chatting about current exhibit\, Lay of the Land. The exhibition orients visitors in time and place through an installation of maps\, spanning time immemorial to present day. Lay of the Land invites all visitors to understand our complex relationship to the land\, past and present\, and to the place that we now call Guelph.

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.
