SUMMARY:Break Out of the Bruce: Bus Trip to Stratford
DESCRIPTION:All aboard! Our popular Bus Trip is back for another exciting excursion to Stratford! Prepare for a day filled with friends\, shopping\, and word-class theatre as we Break Out of the Bruce to see Shakespeare’s beloved comedy\, “As You Like It”.  \nAbout the Show   \nThe Forest of Arden\, reimagined in this production\, sees its pastoral calm upended by the arrival of a motley cast of courtiers\, fools\, dukes and ladies exiled from the pitiless world of court politics and dynastic succession. The latest arrivals: Orlando\, banished by his cruel older brother after their father’s death\, and Rosalind who\, in her attempt to flee an equally cruel uncle\, arrives on the scene disguised as a boy.   \nWhen Orlando and Rosalind fall for one another\, the question then becomes\, can Orlando recognize the object of his affection through her cunning disguise and Arden’s shaded vales?

SUMMARY:Artist Discussion and Documentary Screening: Honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls
DESCRIPTION:May 9 | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nIn honour of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre welcomes artists Destiny Roote\, Melissa Comyn\, and Jes Daneluk for a discussion on the opening of the art installation Buffalo Woman. \nThe installation\, which will be on display from May 1-31\, is both a tribute and a call to action\, urging visitors to acknowledge the ongoing crisis\, listen to the stories of those left behind\, and stand in solidarity for change. \nFollowing the talk\, there will be a special screening of CBC’s The Fifth Estate documentary A Sister’s Promise in the Museum’s theatre.

SUMMARY:“The Old Lady Went Along”: Senior migration in the 1800s (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:May 12 | 7:00 PM \nHosted by the Bruce County Genealogical Society \nWe all have 19th century examples in our family histories where parents\, children and grandparents migrated to\, or within\, Canada. What was the impact on the aged folk who left their families\, and their long-time friends and neighbours? Or the physical stresses from the trip itself and the life they found in the wilderness? Or the impact on the older generation who could not\, or would not\, make the trip? This talk will tell the stories of Dianne Brydon’s aging ancestors: those who travelled to Canada from Ireland and Scotland; those who moved again for new opportunities\, having grown old in Canada; and those who were left behind. \nRegister HERE: https://bit.ly/2025-05-12-DianneBrydon-BCGS \nOr by emailing BCGSWebinars@gmail.com \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nDianne Brydon has used skills learned from her Masters in Historical Geography to research her various family histories. She likes nothing more than travelling to archives in the UK\, Canada\, and the US. There\, she sneezed through bundles of dusty documents. The gems she finds help to piece together her ancestors’ colourful stories. \nIn 2017\, Dianne and her father published their family history. The book is titled “The Stalwart Brydons: From Scotland to Galt to Portage La Prairie”. Since then\, she has written articles and given talks to family history/genealogy/local history groups in both Scotland and Canada. She is currently President of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa. \n  \n \n
