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. \nThis exhibition is presented by Guelph Museums with the financial support of the Government of Canada\, through the Canadian Heritage – Exhibition Circulation Fund. \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	Connie and Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nConnie et Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum\n\n \n\n\n	David Johnson in Korea \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nDavid Johnson en Corée \nNiagara Military Museum \n \n\n\n	Alvie Burden \nCourtesy of Eric Brunt \n\nAlvie Burden \nAvec l’aimable autorisation d’Eric Blunt\n \n\n\n\n\nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes \nDe la période précédant la Confédération jusqu’à la guerre en Afghanistan\, les Canadiens noirs ont une longue et fière tradition de service militaire. Ils ont combattu et donné leur vie pour la liberté à l’étranger\, tout en faisant face à la discrimination au Canada. \nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes\, une nouvelle exposition itinérante diffusée par le Musée canadien de la guerre\, célèbre les contributions des Canadiens noirs au sein des forces armées à travers des récits saisissants de service et de sacrifice provenant de partout au pays. \nL’exposition met en lumière les contributions et les expériences d’hommes et de femmes noirs de la Nouvelle-Écosse et du sud de l’Ontario – deux importants centres historiques de migration des communautés noires – ainsi que d’autres régions du Canada. \nLes visiteurs y reconnaîtront des noms et des événements marquants\, notamment l’histoire de William Hall\, l’un des premiers Canadiens à recevoir la Croix de Victoria. Ils découvriront également de nombreux parcours moins connus\, comme celui de Connie et Kathleen Brown\, deux sœurs jumelles ayant servi pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. \nLes Musées de Guelph ont élaboré un volet unique consacré à l’histoire locale dans le cadre du récit national présenté par cette exposition itinérante. Cet ajout met l’accent sur l’histoire du service militaire des Canadiens noirs et de leur migration vers Guelph\, en Ontario. Il présente notamment le parcours de Henry Francis Courtney\, Victor Goines\, Gordon Goines et Tom Malott\, qui ont servi durant la Première Guerre mondiale au sein du 2e bataillon de construction\, la plus importante unité entièrement composée de soldats noirs de l’histoire militaire canadienne. \nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes a été réalisé par le Musée canadien de la guerre\, à Ottawa\, en partenariat avec le Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia\, à Halifax\, et le Niagara Military Museum\, à Niagara Falls. \nCette exposition est présentée par les Musées de Guelph avec l’appui financier du gouvernement du Canada\, par l’entremise du Fonds pour la circulation des expositions du Patrimoine canadien.
