The Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has issued a call for presentation proposals.
To mark the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation, the branch’s annual Toronto History Lecture is being expanded to a three-lecture series for 2017.
The branch wants proposals for interesting and innovative lectures on any aspect of Toronto’s history for each of the three lectures to be delivered on the evenings of Wednesday, August 9, 16, and 23 at the City of Toronto Archives. A connection to 1867 or any aspect of the sesquicentennial would be particularly appropriate.
For details, download the full Call for Lecture Proposals. The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2017. Past Toronto History Lectures are on the branch website.
The Toronto History Lecture was inaugurated in 2011 in memory of well-known Toronto family historian Paul James McGrath and his love for telling people about Toronto
and its past. Many will remember Mr. Grath from his days on the television program, Ancestors in the Attic.
