SUMMARY:Online Lecture: An Evening with Stephen R. Bown
DESCRIPTION:Join us and author Stephen Bown on January 18! \nPlease join us for an evening with award-winning author Stephen R. Bown as he discusses his latest book Dominion: The Railway and the Rise of Canada\, which tells the gripping and eye-opening account of the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and how it enabled the nation of Canada. \nWith over 3\,000 kilometers of track\, much of it driven through wildly inhospitable terrain\, the CPR would be the longest railway in the world and the most difficult to build. Its construction was the defining event of its era and a catalyst for powerful global forces. \nThe times were marked by greed\, hubris\, blatant empire building\, oppression\, corruption and theft. They were good for some\, hard for most\, disastrous for others. The CPR enabled a new country\, but it came at a terrible price. \nIn recent years Canadian history has been given a rude awakening from the comforts of its myths. In Dominion\, Stephen Bown again widens our view of the past to include the adventures and hardships of explorers and surveyors\, the resistance of Indigenous peoples\, and the terrific and horrific work of many thousands of labourers. His vivid portrayal of the powerful forces that were molding the world in the late 19th century provides a revelatory new picture of modern Canada’s creation as an independent state. \n  \nTICKETS AVAILABLE HERE \n  \nABOUT STEPHEN\nStephen R. Bown is the author of eleven books on the history of exploration\, science and ideas. He has won the BC Book Prize\, the Alberta Book Award and the William Mills Prize for Polar Books. His previous book\, The Company: The Rise and Fall of the Hudson’s Bay Empire\, was a national bestseller and winner of the 2021 National Business Book Award and the J.W. Dafoe Book Prize. Born in Ottawa\, he now lives near Banff in the Canadian Rockies. \n  \nABOUT TRM\nThe Toronto Railway Museum (TRM) brings people together by telling stories of Toronto’s railway heritage. The Museum is located in the heart of downtown Toronto and is typically open year-round. TRM presents exhibits\, tours\, educational programs and publications that broaden the understanding and appreciation of Toronto’s rich railway history. TRM is committed to telling the stories of the railways\, and welcoming conversations of its varied experiences through its lecture series\, exhibits and integrated programming with a mission to learn from the past to make the future better. \n

SUMMARY:Online Lecture: Halifax Explosion and the Role of Railways
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Halifax Explosion and the Role of Railways\,” an online lecture on December 14! \n  \nOn December 6\, 1917 the SS Mont-Blanc collided with the SS Imo in the harbour of Halifax\, Nova Scotia. What resulted was a devastating explosion that caused many deaths\, many more casualties\, and the destruction of Halifax itself. This explosion is still regarded as one of the largest human-engineered explosions on record and is an unforgettable part of 20th century Canadian history. Responding to the disaster was a collective effort that included the railways in northeastern Canada and the US. Join Roger Sarty and the TRM on December 14th\, 2023 to learn more about the disaster and the railway’s role in the recovery from the explosion. \n  \nGET TICKETS HERE \n  \nABOUT ROGER SARTY \nRoger Sarty\, professor emeritus\, Wilfrid Laurier University\, was previously deputy director of the Canadian War Museum\, and Senior Historian at the Department of National Defence. He is the author\, co-author or editor of more than a dozen books\, including the official history of the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War. At the Canadian War Museum he led the team that produced the exhibits for the new building that opened at Vimy Place in Ottawa in 2005. His interest in military history developed during his childhood in Halifax\, not least because of the stories then current among older residents and their children about the great explosion of 1917. He was privileged to edit the manuscript of the noted journalist\, the late Joseph Scanlon\, for publication as Catastrophe: Stories and Lessons from the Halifax Explosion (Wilfrid Laurier University Press\, 2020). \n  \nABOUT THE TORONTO RAILWAY MUSEUM (TRM) \nThe Toronto Railway Museum (TRM) brings people together by telling stories of Toronto’s railway heritage. The Museum is located in the heart of downtown Toronto and is typically open year-round. TRM presents exhibits\, tours\, educational programs and publications that broaden the understanding and appreciation of Toronto’s rich railway history.

SUMMARY:Celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Ukrainian Independence Day at the Toronto Railway Museum \nAugust 24 is the Independence Day of Ukraine. TRM stands with its brave people and has a special gift for them – a journey through the history of Canadian railways delivered in Ukrainian! TRM introduced translated audio guides\, making Ukrainian the first international language available at the museum. \nThe project was concluded exclusively by our volunteers – thank you! The voice recording was done in public recording rooms available at the Digital Innovation Hubs of Toronto Public Library. All music and sound effects including authentic vintage train and railway station sounds were taken from royalty-free public domain archives. The first translation paved way for making railway history accessible for broader communities\, because TRM plans to have its guides available in multiple international languages in the future. \nAudio guides are accessible through the museum website\, and available here. \n  \nInterested? Visit us on August 24 and chat with one of our Ukrainian-speaking volunteers (look for the Ukrainian flags!). If you are keen to listen through the whole outdoor audio guides\, participate in our railway trivia\, and win a prize!

SUMMARY:Online Lecture: A Tale of Two Tunnels Beneath the St. Clair River
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “A Tale of Two Tunnels Beneath the St. Clair River”\, an online lecture on June 15! \n  \nJoin Christina Sydorko\, Educational Programs Coordinator at the Oil Museum of Canada\, on a journey to discover the engineering marvel that is the St. Clair tunnel.  \n  \nPicture this: Rail traffic is backed up and at a stand still on a frozen stormy night in the middle of winter. It is too dangerous for the Grand Trunk Railway ferries to make the river crossing in the storm and tomorrow will be lost due to ice jams. The St. Clair River crossing has become a bottleneck and delays are costing money. How can this problem be solved? The solution is digging a tunnel in the soft clay beneath one of the fastest rivers to join Canada and the United States by a ribbon of steel!  \n  \nConstruction of the St. Clair tunnel was an engineering marvel of its time\, only to be repeated again 100 years later! The second version saw crews employing the latest laser-guided technologically-advanced tunneling machine dubbed “Excalibore” built in Toronto\, Ontario. \n  \nREGISTER TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE HERE \n  \nABOUT CHRISTINA SYDORKO \nChristina is a dedicated educator who strives to create exciting and informative educational experiences. She has an Honour’s Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario and a Bachelor of Education from Windsor University with subject specialization in History and Geography. Christina spent 15 years teaching in the Lambton Kent District School Board before moving to be the full time Educational Programs Coordinator at the Oil Museum of Canada\, National Historic Site in 2017.
