Myseum on the Move: Women of The Ward
July 22, 2018 to July 29, 2018
We are excited to be presenting two walking tours which explore Toronto's, first immigrant neighbourhood, breathing life into a lesser known chapter in Toronto's past through theatrical presentations and animated talks led by John Lorinc & Tatum Taylor. These walking tours will allow participants to experience The Ward through the lens of four resilient women, whose stories contribute to the rich history of this storied Toronto neighbourhood:
Jean Lumb: The owner of a Chinese restaurant who helped bridge the Chinese community with various politicians and Torontonians, ultimately breaking down barriers through Chinese culture and Chinese food specifically.
Cecilia Reynolds: Joined the African-American community in Toronto after escaping slavery and initiated a longstanding correspondence with her former enslaver in order to obtain freedom for her mother and brother.
Annie Whelan: Was an Irish immigrant who became a bootlegger in order to support her family.
Elizabeth Neufeld: A Jewish American social worker who established, Central Neighbourhood House, the first settlement agency in Toronto.
We hope to see you there!
See link to register.
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Venue: Church of the Holy Trinity
Location: 19 Trinity Square Toronto, ON
