Our next Toronto Branch meeting will take place on Monday 27 May starting at 7:30 pm at Lansing United Church at Poyntz Avenue and Beecroft Road in North York.
We’ll begin with our Annual General Meeting. Please join us as we take stock of Branch accomplishments and challenges over the past year, share plans and priorities for the year ahead and elect the Branch Executive Committee for 2019-2020.
Following the AGM, author Kristen den Hartog will share her experiences in partnering with her sister to trace their working-class family from the slums of Victorian London to Canada in the 1930s. Kristen will talk about the thrill of weaving intimate family stories together with broader historical events in writing The Cowkeeper’s Wish: A Genealogical Journey—part family memoir, part social history. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
The Members Network will be gathering in advance of the main meeting from 6:15 on. All Branch members are welcome to join in and share their family history experiences and questions in an informal setting.
Lansing United Church is a short walk from the Sheppard-Yonge subway station (look for the exit to Poyntz Avenue). Parking on local streets is free after 6:00 p.m and there are pay parking options nearby. Please leave the few spaces in the church parking lot for members with accessibility needs.
Toronto Branch meetings are free to attend and open to all. Visit our Meetings page to find out more.
