Photos of cannery employees in Grimsby c. 1914 & 1920. Women, children & seasonal immigrant labourers were instrumental in the tender fruit sector, especially during wartime. So many interesting stories in this @GrimsbyMuseum collection! #niagarahistory

With the clock on Ontario's heritage ticking ever-closer to Jan. 1, 2025, we've been asking a lot of hard questions lately.
We reflect on the issues facing Ontario's heritage sector and how heritage can help address the challenges facing our communities.

"The problem is with the way @LibraryArchives has been reorganized over the years with so little thought to the needs of professional and amateur historians."

While you wait for the release of Season 4 of The Open Door podcast, we thought we'd share a super fun cross-over episode we shared with @inkedhistorian and @brockhumanities.
Give it a listen & subscribe to these great folks doing important work!

Navalny showed Russians what civic courage looks like. Putin wants to show Russians that courage is pointless.

Over the 12 days of Christmas, we're treating you to our greatest hits from 2023. Behold, the anxiety-inducing antics of Mr Fred Dibnah - steeplejack extraordinaire. "I’ve never fell off a big chimney. You only fall off one of them once."
