SUMMARY:Where The Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Where The Rivers Meet is a display within the City Gallery that centers the Original Peoples who have been on this land since time immemorial. It includes information about migration\, land relationship\, treaties\, impacts of colonization\, and past and present-day perspectives. The display also considers the founding story of Guelph within the context of a longer history lens. \nThis display is a living exhibition that reflects the truth as we understand it today. We continue to learn from our treaty partner\, the Missisaugas of the Credit First Nation\, and from Indigenous people who call Guelph home today. The display will continue to be updated as our knowledge grows.

SUMMARY:Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Image: Two Rivers (2018)\, featuring storytellers Jim Hunt (left) and Tia Carey Wong (far right) with community story advocate Jenny Mitchell (centre) \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries marks the end of a multi-year collaboration in three of Guelph’s vibrant neighbourhoods – Two Rivers\, Onward Willow\, and Brant Avenue – where we explored two driving questions: What makes a place home? How do communities change over time? \nLaunched in 2018\, Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries formed as a series of actual and virtual bus tours\, featuring intergenerational storytellers and led by community story advocate Jenny Mitchell. In Two Rivers (2018) and Onward Willow (2019)\, people from across Guelph stepped onto a bus and travelled with the storytellers. In 2021\, a virtual bus toured Brant Avenue\, with the participants tuning in from the comfort of their own homes. \nThe bus tours were filmed and the footage produced as three short docs. The films capture the storytellers\, who shared their memories\, lived perspectives\, and personal anecdotes in the places they call home. The films will premiere in the exhibition\, surrounded by artifacts\, images\, and histories of each neighbourhood\, drawn from the collections at Guelph Museums. \nThe exhibition also explores Guelph’s local film history\, recognizing the power of film in storytelling. From the cinemas and theatres that dotted the city’s entertainment landscape to feature productions shot locally\, where – through movie magic – Guelph became other places\, both real and fictional. \nEqual parts lived history and historic fact\, Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries centres the stories and storytellers who shape and imagine community and home – past\, present and future. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Royal Theatre\, 1938\, Courtesy of William Cardinell\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Houses in the Ward\, 1975\, Guelph Museums 2013.39.128\n				\n		\n\nEnjoy the trailers for the three short documentaries: \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Two Rivers or “The Ward”\n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Brant\n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries\, Onward Willow\n \n\nWatch History Bites: Moving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries: \n \nMoving Histories\, Neighbourhood Mysteries is a partnership between Guelph Museums and the Guelph Film Festival\, with support from CFRU 93.3 FM and the Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition. \nThis project is funded in part by a grant from The Guelph Community Foundation – Musagetes Fund. \n \n

SUMMARY:Witnessing War
DESCRIPTION:Banner: Lyn Westfall\, The Poppy and the Wellington\, 2016 (acrylic on canvas\, detail) \nThis year marks 150 years since the birth of Lt. Col. John McCrae (1872-1918). An esteemed doctor\, soldier and poet\, McCrae is remembered for his wartime poem “In Flanders Fields\,” which he wrote from the trenches near Ypres\, Belgium\, on 3 May 1915. \nMcCrae was a keen observer of the people and places he visited. In addition to his letters and poetry\,\nhe made many sketches. Over his lifetime\, he wrote dozens of poems and made innumerable drawings. \nAlthough the poet McCrae is often celebrated\, Witnessing War takes a closer look at his drawings\, in graphite and ink\, many of which are held in Guelph Museums’ collection. When considered together\, McCrae’s poems and drawings offer an impression of his inner solitude. \n\n\n\n	“Pickerel Island Ahmic Lake”\, 1892\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996X.1.1.22 \n\n\n	“Telephone Poles”\, 1890\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996X.21.1 \n\n\n	"Tarpaulin Cove"\, 1892\, John McCrae\, Guelph Museums M1996.1.1.17 \n\n\n\n\nShaped and inspired by McCrae’s creative expressions\, Witnessing War features drawings\, paintings and sculptures by local and national artists\, spanning 100 years of art as a salve to war. \nThe exhibition includes art works made in response to the six global conflicts in which Canada has fought: South African War (1899-1902)\, First World War (1914-1918)\, Second World War (1939-1945)\, Korean War (1950-1953)\, Persian Gulf War (1990-1991)\, and Afghanistan War (2001-2014). \nWitnessing War also considers responsive works by artists with connections to Guelph and the surrounding region\, who explore themes of human conflict in their art. \n\nWatch History Bites: Is Art a Salve to War? with with contemporary artists Anong Migwans Beam\, Anique Jordan\, Barbara Todd\, and Lyn Westfall\, whose work is featured in this exhibition:

SUMMARY:Guelph Pipe Band: Celebrating 100 Years
DESCRIPTION:Banner Image: Black and white photo of Guelph Pipe Band in front of City Hall circa 1922. Pictured\, left to right: Pipe Major Jim Hill\, Pipe Cpl. Bill Flanigan\, Jim McHaffie\, Alex Livingstone\, Jimmy Ferguson\, Art Corstorphine\, Tom Patterson\, John Corstorphine\, Dave Fulton\, and two drummers (unknown). 1992.33.1\, Guelph Museums \nThe creation of a pipe band was inspired by the Guelph Burns Club\, which celebrated poet Robbie Burns in the local Scottish diaspora. To fund the band\, a Tag Day campaign raised $72 and the Victoria-Guelph Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire collected $500. The Guelph Pipe Band was officially formed in the fall of 1922. \nMembers of the band served with the Highland Light Infantry during the Second World War. Guelph’s Pipe Major Art Corstorphine led the Canadian bands as they marched into Berlin in 1945. After the war\, the Guelph Pipe Band competed in the Ontario highland games circuit\, under Pipe Major Bob Whittle. \nIn 1968\, Whittle and Lead Drummer Andy Donachie led the band to fifth place in their class at the World Pipe Band Championships in Grangemouth\, Scotland. As a competitive soloist\, Edward Neigh was one of the first non-Scottish players to win the Dunvegan medal\, a prize sought by pipers around the world. In 1976\, the Guelph Pipe Band captured the North American Championship in Grade II. In 1977\, they were the first Canadian band to win the Intercontinental Pipe Band Championship at the Scottish World Festival in Toronto.\nToday\, the Guelph Pipe Band celebrates 100 years under Pipe Major Tyler Bridge and Lead Drummer Thomas Litherland. \nPhotograph taken at the Cambridge Highland Games by Meagan Young \n\nWatch History Bites: Guelph Pipe Band at 100 Years with Guelph Museums curator Dawn Owen\, and past and present band members Tyler Bridge\, Jim McGillivray\, Ellen Mole\, Marilyn Willis\, Larry Willis and more! \nPart 1:\n \nPart 2:

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?
