Welcome back, my reading friend, and… I know, I know. I pledged several moons ago to strive toward brevity. It is just that this story of SS Klondike, a cargo-carrying sternwheeler river boat, river cruise ship and national historic site, is really quite interesting. And I see you nodding in agreement. Yes, yes, you did. Do not deny it. In any event, by November 1959, rumours, accurate rumours as it turned out, circulated to the effect that Canada’s Department of Northern Affairs and Natural

In November 2022, we curated an exhibition called Captive Labour at the Catalyst, an event space on the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) campus. The exhibition highlighted historical and current labour programs within the Canadian penitentiary system and was inspired by artifacts in TMU’s Fashion Research Collection. These objects were transferred from Ingenium’s collection in 2020. Ingenium still maintains a number of artifacts from the Kingston Penitentiary in its collection.

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. - Toni Morrison In April 2021, the world was buckling under the strain of COVID-19 and racial unrest was tearing through the United States. And then the discovery of unmarked graves at a residential school in Kamloops, B.C., hit us out of nowhere. For Métis installation artist Tracey

Do not close this webpage, my reader friend disturbed / alarmed by our topic for today! Yours truly realises that the breeding of frogs for the purpose of consuming their legs, in other words ranaculture, can be a rather off-putting subject. This being said (typed?), it is a topic which fits very well within the mandate of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, a brother / sister museal institution of the terrifically good Canada Aviation and Space Museum, also located in

Greetings, my reading friend. How are you this week? May I offer you the caption of the photographs you just saw, my reading… Err, why the puzzled look? Please do not tell me that the names Heath Robinson and / or “Rube” Goldberg do not ring a bell. It is too early in the day for such a shocking revelation. Sigh… What do children learn in school these days? You do realise that, by forcing me to explain who William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) and Reuben Garrett Lucius “Rube” Goldberg (1883-1970)

When making a fresh start, we often aim to improve the lives of ourselves and others.

RIPPLE EFFECT is a new, virtual museum exhibition designed to help Canadians conserve fresh water. While most Canadians are blessed with an abundance of clean fresh water, that is not the case for everyone. We are not immune to global warming, and one of its effects are increasingly
