SUMMARY:How to Trace Ancestors Through Letters and Postcards\, with guest Kathryn Lake Hogan
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR via Zoom \nFamily history goes beyond vital statistics; it’s about listening to the voices of our ancestors. Letters\, postcards\, telegrams\, and other everyday forms of communication bring personal experiences to life and add context that official records often lack. Learn how to find these materials in archives\, local collections\, and family holdings\, and interpret them as historical evidence. Discover how to analyze handwriting\, postmarks\, and even the language of telegrams to trace migration\, community connections\, and family ties. Diaries\, autograph books\, and early phone directories will also be highlighted as sources that capture ordinary lives. Attendees will leave with strategies to uncover and preserve these fragile yet powerful records of daily life. \nRegister HERE: https://bit.ly/2026-02-09-KathrynLakeHogan \nHosted by Bruce County Genealogical Society.

SUMMARY:TIFF Film Circuit: The Penguin Lessons (SOLD OUT!)
DESCRIPTION:(SOLD OUT!) \nDecember 4 | 7:00 PM  \nOur TIFF Film Circuit series continues with a screening of the 2024 British-Argentinian film The Penguin Lessons. Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride\, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students.

Helmed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty; Military Wives\, TIFF ’19)\, The Penguin Lessons delivers this delightful story with wit\, warmth\, and subtle insight into just how rewarding it can be to do the right thing. \n  \nRuntime: 1 hour 50 minutes \nComedy\, Drama \nMembers FREE; $8 adults\, $6 seniors. \nSOLD OUT!
