1)  Toronto Public Library is launching an historical lecture series this fall – THOUGHT EXCHANGE (History Matters). The series aims to develop dialogue and exchange between active Toronto historians and the broader Toronto community through a series of lively, relevant talks and discussion. The first talk is: ‘Making the Scene in 1960s Yorkville.’  Historian-musician-journalist Stuart Henderson explores Toronto’s 1960s counterculture.  September 14, 2 pm, Yorkville Branch, 22 Yorkville Ave.  (416-393-7660)

2)  The Toronto Beer Quest is an urban adventure that combines beer, history, and a chance to get to see the city.  Discover the history of brewing in Toronto, while racing around the city, during the Toronto Beer Week.  For more information check out last week’s blog post by Mirella Amato (see link below).

3)  Julia Roberts will be leading the next Approaching the Past workshop.  Professor Roberts will discuss using places, such as taverns, as entry points for teaching the past.  The event will be held at Montgomery’s Inn on September 30th at 7 p.m. For more information visit Approaching the Past or e-mail approachingthepast@gmail.com.
