Our last Toronto Branch meeting before the summer break will take place on Monday, June 25 starting at 7:30 pm at Lansing United Church in North York.
Our featured speaker Bonnie Bell will commemorate the all too short life of a young man who grew up in Toronto, enlisted with the Air Force as a teenager, and died in World War II when his plane was shot down in the skies over Belgium. Don’t miss her talk, Yes, There Was an Argument! After our mid-meeting break, Janice Nickerson will close out the evening with a short presentation titled Great Grandma’s Social Media: 100-year-old Postcards.
If you can, come early and join the Members Network in advance of the main meeting, beginning at 6:15 p.m. — share your family history experiences and questions in a friendly informal setting. All Branch members are welcome, regardless of level of knowledge or area of interest.
Lansing United Church is located two blocks south-west of Sheppard and Yonge, at Poyntz Avenue and Beecroft Road (enter from Poyntz). It’s a short walk from the Sheppard-Yonge subway station, which also links to frequent bus service. If you are driving, parking on local streets is free after 6:00 p.m., and there are pay parking lots close by. The few spaces in the church parking lot are reserved for members with accessibility needs.
There will be no Branch meetings in July and August… but get set for a special member Show and Tell evening on our return in September!
Toronto Branch meetings are free to attend and open to all. Visit our Meetings page to find out more.
