One of my favourite Canada Day traditions - watching the 1996 Blue Jays belt out "This Land is Your Land".

Photos of cannery employees in Grimsby c. 1914 & 1920. Women, children & seasonal immigrant labourers were instrumental in the tender fruit sector, especially during wartime. So many interesting stories in this @GrimsbyMuseum collection! #niagarahistory

With the clock on Ontario's heritage ticking ever-closer to Jan. 1, 2025, we've been asking a lot of hard questions lately.

We reflect on the issues facing Ontario's heritage sector and how heritage can help address the challenges facing our communities.

"The problem is with the way @LibraryArchives has been reorganized over the years with so little thought to the needs of professional and amateur historians."

While you wait for the release of Season 4 of The Open Door podcast, we thought we'd share a super fun cross-over episode we shared with @inkedhistorian and @brockhumanities.

Give it a listen & subscribe to these great folks doing important work!
