John Walsh and Christina Williamson (PhD Candidate, Cultural Mediations, M.A. in Public History, 杏吧原创) are pleased to announce the unveiling of From the North to Ottawa\u2019s Southway Inn<\/em>, a riveting piece of commemorative public art produced by Couzyn van Heuvelen, to be held on Thursday, September 7 at 4:00 at the Waterford Retirement Home<\/strong> (formerly Southway Inn), located at the intersection of Bank St and Hunt Club.  For those who wish to use public transit, it is accessible by O-Train to Greenboro Station and then either a 10-15 minute walk or the 6, 98, or 114 buses which pass right in front of the location.  For more information on the story being commemorated, the artist, and the documentary film being produced, please visit our website at: http:\/\/loststories.ca\/stories\/southway-inn\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the unveiling there will be refreshments, including some food brought in from Iqaluit.  If you are interested in attending, please RSVP<\/strong> at: OttawaLostStories@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added bonus: at the ceremony, we will be shooting for the documentary film which is also part of the larger From the North to the Southway Inn<\/em> project, so you may become immortalized on the screen. The film director, Mosha Folger, will be presenting the film this coming winter at 杏吧原创 and in a few other locations across Ottawa. The film will also be made freely available on the Internet. Educational materials for those interested in teaching with the film and artwork will be created over the coming year as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the North to Ottawa’s Southway Inn<\/em> is part of the Lost Stories Project based at Concordia University, and is one of four different “lost stories” being commemorated in 2017.  Please explore these at http:\/\/loststories.ca\/<\/a> These four chapters are made possible through a Canada 150 Grant awarded by the Department of Canadian Heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September-December 2017<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Lecture Series for 2017<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Department\u2019s Shannon Lecture Series for 2017, will commence on September 22, 2017. This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary year, the 杏吧原创 Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.
