How to Trace Ancestors Through Letters and Postcards, with Guest Kathryn Lake Hogan
2026-02-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Online
The Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre
Family 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.

Canada and the World in 2026
Canada is a G7 country, a founding member of the United Nations and NATO, and an active player in world affairs. We spend over $30 billion per year on our military, distribute over $11 billion per year in international assistance to countries in need, and maintain a staff of over 13,000 diplomats, trade policy experts, and developnment assistance professionals at Global Affairs Canada. These investments are supposed to promote and defend “the national interest.” This lecture will help you understand what the national interest really means and why Canada behaves the way it does on the world stage by examining the past, present, and future of Canadian foreign policy.

Frost, Fires and Feast - Winter Culinary Adventure
2026-02-21 13:00 - 17:00 | ReLive Retreat, Priceville, ON
1:00 and 2:00 pm start times

A Winter Culinary Adventure

Step into the quiet beauty of winter at ReLive Retreat — where snow softens the land and open flames become a gentle guide.
The forest rests beneath a blanket of white, frost glimmers across the meadows, and the crisp air carries notes of smoke, spice, and something warm waiting ahead.
You’ll wander our looping winter trails, moving from one glowing fireside moment to the next. Each stop reveals a new scene: cast-iron pots simmering over flame, sweet dough browning in the embers, warm drinks sending up curls of steam, and laughter drifting between the trees.
Frost, Fires & Feast is our signature winter culinary adventure — a three-hour, fire-led journey celebrating food, warmth, and the quiet magic of midwinter. Along the way, you’ll visit five distinct fireside destinations, each thoughtfully designed to warm your hands, delight your palate, and deepen your connection to the land.
Taste dishes prepared over open flame by passionate creators. Sip curated winter drinks beside a glowing fire. Walk the trail alongside our miniature goats and sheep. Pause near the river valley as soups simmer slowly, then gather at the final ember for a sweet farewell before the forest closes in behind you.
Limited to just 40 guests, the experience remains intimate, unhurried, and deeply personal. This is winter at its most elemental — simple, warming, and quietly unforgettable.
