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. She has spearheaded the creation of the Travelling Trunks educational kits and virtual education programs at the museum with a focus on fact based education. Christina is also the recipient of the 2021 Award of Excellence in Programming from the Ontario Museum Association for virtual programs and the Lambton County Innovation Award for 2021.  Christina hopes to encourage a new generation of young people to find the wonder and exciting opportunities in the physical world around them. \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:Online Lecture: Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto”\, an online lecture on April 20! \nWhat can photos taken by streetcar enthusiasts reveal about the changing nature of cities? This is the question explored by Brian and Michael Doucet in their book Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto: a visual analysis of change. The Doucets carefully and meticulously rephotograph these images taken in the 1960s and 70s to bring them into dialogue with contemporary planning\, policy\, political and public debates.  \n  \nStreetcar enthusiasts did not intend to document the major forces of change shaping cities\, but their images show far more than just the vehicles. In pursuit of their hobby\, these enthusiasts photographed cities in ways that very few other people did\, and took pictures in parts of the city that would have otherwise gone unphotographed. \n  \nWhen paired with photos taken at the same locations today\, these images show the subtle and not-so-subtle economic\, social\, demographic and spatial changes that have taken place as Toronto has transitioned from an industrial and provincial city\, to one of the world’s major global metropolises. They show how these forces of change are reflected in the buildings\, streets and land uses across the city. \nThere are many books\, studies and reports that try to understand long-term changes in cities such as Toronto. Streetcars is one of the few that uses visual images as the primary way to analyse change. The Doucets aim to challenge everyone – scholars\, students\, planners\, politicians and the wider public – to look at their cities in new and different ways. \n  \nJoin us for this engaging and insightful discussion about how photography can be used to better understand cities and urban change.  \n  \nTICKETS AVAILABLE HERE \n  \nABOUT BRIAN DOUCET\nBrian Doucet is the Canada Research Chair in Urban Change and Social Inclusion in the School of Planning at the University of Waterloo.  \n  \nABOUT MICHAEL DOUCET\nMichael Doucet is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Geography at Toronto Metropolitan University \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. 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: The Railways that Spurred Early Oil’s Expansion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “The Railways that Spurred Early Oil’s Expansion”\, an online lecture on January 19! \n  \nBefore the arrival of the railroads local growth and development in Lambton County was at a standstill\, the marshy land was not attractive to new settlers. This all changed in 1858 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Railroad and the first commercial oil well dug by James Miller Williams starting production in Oil Springs Ontario. The Black Gold Rush started attracting men from all over to seek their fortunes in the booming oil industry. The problems arise from lack of infrastructure on how to get this valuable product out of the swamps of Lambton. In this talk we will look at how the booming oil industry and railroads are intrinsically linked in Lambton County spurring development from the building of the private Petrolia Spur line to the St Clair Tunnel to the USA.   \n  \nSOLD OUT!\nPlease email manager@trha.ca to be added to the waitlist. \n  \nTickets for this event are free\, although registration is required. Please note this event has a limited capacity. A waitlist will be enabled if the event space sells out. \n  \nAttendees will get access to our exclusive Zoom meeting room\, where they can engage directly with the presenter and museum historians in a post-lecture Q&A. The event will begin at 7pm Eastern Standard Time\, and will end at approximately 8:30pm EST. \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. She has spearheaded the creation of the Travelling Trunks educational kits and virtual education programs at the museum with a focus on fact based education. Christina is also the recipient of the 2021 Award of Excellence in Programming from the Ontario Museum Association for virtual programs and the Lambton County Innovation Award for 2021.  Christina hopes to encourage a new generation of young people to find the wonder and exciting opportunities in the physical world around them. \n  \n  \nABOUT THE TORONTO RAILWAY MUSEUM (TRM) \nThe Toronto Railway Museum (TRM) brings people together by telling stories of Toronto’s railway heritage.
