Saturday, November 5th, at the Lantern, 35 Barnes Road

5:00: Director Mary Lewis will present her film "Heart and Soul," a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of Holy Heart of Mary High School—a school with a history rich with culture. Other people who were in the film or helped make the film will also be present. A discussion will follow the film.

6:00: A community potluck will follow the film so that you will be able to continue your discussion. Just bring a dish to share; we can keep it warm or heat it up, as need be.

IF WALLS COULD TALK and THE STORY OF A STREET: two workshops exploring Georgestown's history

Andrew Draskoy and Sheila Coates, both neighbourhood residents, will show how they researched the history of one McDougall Street house, Maxse Street, and parts of the surrounding neighbourhood. An open discussion will follow. The emphasis throughout will be on showing you ways to research the history of your own house and street, and on sharing what we discover about Georgestown.
Bring photos, documents, and ideas to share with each other.
