SUMMARY:Egerton Ryerson and the Indian Residential Schools: A Contextual Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The figure of Egerton Ryerson has been vilified as “the architect of the Indian Residential Schools.” But many do not know his history with Mississauga of the Credit or that he was given a Mississauga name in gratitude for his ministry among them. Or that the idea of residential schools had been a matter of public discussion for almost thirty years before Ryerson penned the 1847 letter for which he is arraigned. There is lots to learn! \nProf. Peter Wyatt\, United Church minister and former principal of Emmanuel College\, will bring a PowerPoint presentation on Ryerson in context to the Deer Park Public Library on Saturday\, September 20\, at 2 p.m. The Library is located at 40 St. Clair Ave.\, east of the Yonge intersection.

SUMMARY:How History Can Help Us Understand the Present
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 17th\, at 7:30 pm Margaret MacMillan will be speaking on the topic “How Can History Help Us Understand the Present”. The Massey lecturer\, World-renowned Historian\, best-selling author and Professor Emeritus will educate and inspire with her thought-provoking comments. \nWhat could be more relevant in these current turbulent times. The London Reveiw of Books says that “Margaret MacMillan is a wry and humane chronicler of this troubled world”. \nThe lecture will be followed by a Q & A. \nArrive at 6:30 pm and stroll through the Marketplace. A variety of products will be available for sale. \nAll proceeds from the event go to The Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers’ Campaign. \nTickets required: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/margaret-macmillan-how-can-history-help-us-understand-the-present-tickets-1333524550829 \n“The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) is a progressive\, feminist organization rooted in the principles of social justice\, international solidarity\, and substantive equality. The SLF was created with the express purpose of supporting community-led organizations working on the frontlines of the HIV epidemic in countries across Africa.” \n“Many of these grassroots organizations were originally formed by small groups of individuals responding to the crisis AIDS had wrought in their own lives and in the lives of their neighbours. Over the years\, they have developed into thriving local institutions with deep connections to their communities. The SLF’s community-led partners are turning the tide of HIV and AIDS by providing care and support to women\, orphaned children\, LGBTIQ individuals\, grandmothers and people living with HIV and AIDS.” For further information check out the website at https://stephenlewisfoundation.org/. \nThe evening is hosted by the Togogo Grandmothers and the Old Orchard Grandmothers. The Togogos and Old Orchard Blossoms grandmothers launched their groups in 2006 in support of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign\, an initiative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Both groups were founded as outreach efforts—the Togogos at Bloor Street United Church and the Old Orchard Blossoms at St. Timothy’s Anglican Church—in response to the growing HIV and AIDS crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. Both groups quickly expanded to include women from the community\, united in solidarity with grandmothers and grand-others on the front lines of the pandemic. Now\, 19 years later\, the Togogos and Old Orchard Blossoms mark nearly two decades of dedication and impact. Together\, they have raised over $550\,000 in support of the Grandmothers’ Campaign\, standing as a testament to the power of grassroots activism and compassionate connection.

SUMMARY:Reconciliation: Towards 2035
DESCRIPTION:The Manitou Intentional Learning Community cordially invites you to attend Reconciliation: Towards 2035\, presented by Sara Stratton\, the United Church of Canada Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice Animator\, on Monday\, September 8\, 2025\, via Zoom. \nTo register\, please go to Manitou Intentional Learning Community  https://manitoulearningcommunity.com \nIt’s been 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Final Report and Calls to Action. Since then\, we have also received the Final Report and Calls to Justice on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women\, Girls\, and 2S People\, and the Final Report and Sacred Obligations on unmarked burial sites and missing/disappeared Indigenous children. Within the United Church\, we’ve committed to becoming an actively anti-racist church; passed Remit One\, making room for an autonomous Indigenous organization within the United Church of Canada; and begun a conversation about reparations for wrongful harms. What do all these things mean for our path of reconciliation? How will we move forward in a meaningful and constructive way? Join UCC Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice Animator Sara Stratton for a brief information session and longer strategic conversation. \nSara Stratton serves the United Church of Canada as Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice Animator\, and is active in the church’s commitment to becoming an anti-racist denomination.
