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:Portraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service
DESCRIPTION:From pre-Confederation conflicts through to the war in Afghanistan\, Black Canadians have a proud tradition of military service. They have fought and died for freedom abroad\, even as they have struggled against discrimination at home. \nPortraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service\, a new travelling exhibition circulated by the Canadian War Museum\, celebrates the contributions of Black Canadians in the military through compelling accounts of service and sacrifice from across the country. \nThe exhibition highlights the contributions and experiences of Black men and women from Nova Scotia and southern Ontario — two historic centres of Black migration — as well as from other parts of Canada. \nVisitors will recognize familiar names and events\, such as the story of William Hall\, one of Canada’s first recipients of the Victoria Cross. They will also discover many lesser-known stories\, like that of Connie and Kathleen Brown\, twin sisters who served during the Second World War. \nGuelph Museums has developed a unique\, localized chapter within the national narrative of the touring exhibition. This addendum focuses on the history of Black military service and migration to Guelph\, Ontario\, including the story of First World War servicemen Henry Francis Courtney\, Victor Goines\, Gordon Goines\, and Tom Malott who served in the No. 2 Construction Battalion\, the largest all-Black unit in Canadian military history. \nPortraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service was developed by the Canadian War Museum\, Ottawa in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia\, Halifax and the Niagara Military Museum\, Niagara Falls. \n\n\n\n	David Johnson in Korea \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nDavid Johnson en Corée \nNiagara Military Museum \n \n\n\n	Molly Lamb Bobak Private Roy\, Canadian Women’s Army Corps\,1946 \nBeaverbrook Collection of War Art Canadian War Museum CWM 19710261-1626\n\nMolly Lamb Bobak Soldat Roy\, Service féminin de l’armée canadienne\, 1946 \nCollection Beaverbrook d’art militaire Musée canadien de la guerre MCG 19710261-1626  \n\n\n	Alvie Burden \nCourtesy of Eric Brunt \n\nAlvie Burden \nAvec l’aimable autorisation d’Eric Blunt\n \n\n\n	Connie and Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nConnie et Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum
