Good news from John Reid on his blog, Anglo-Celtic Connections, for those of us who tend to forget to watch live virtual presentations.
The recording of this year’s Toronto History Lecture by Kirsten den Hartog that was delivered via Zoom on Tuesday is available to watch for free until Wednesday, August 14.
Here’s the description:
At the end of the First World War, wounded soldiers were coming home in huge numbers, and the country was scrambling for space to treat them all. The Christie Street Hospital was meant to be a temporary space, but was still there when the next war began.
Author Kristen den Hartog provides a glimpse into this fascinating place and the role it played in Toronto’s history. She explores the aftermath of war: how ordinary people dealt with the ways war had changed them, and how the medical community — and the city — grew by leaps and bounds
Check out John’s blog post for the link to the recording.
