SUMMARY:Niagara in Focus Community Photo Project Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Niagara in Focus Community Photo Project\, The Brown Homestead\n\nNiagara in Focus Community Photo Project teams up with the Niagara Geopark to invite you to share one photograph that captures the places\, people\, and moments that make Niagara feel like home—past or present. \nThis project seeks to explore how community\, memory\, time\, and landscape intertwine to create a shared sense of place. Your photograph—whether a recent snapshot from your phone\, a cherished print from a family album\, or a historic image passed down through generations—will contribute to a mosaic portrait of Niagara\, highlighting the stories that define our community from past to present. \nSelected submissions will be curated as part of a travelling community exhibit to be displayed across Niagara starting in Spring 2026. \nParticipation details: \n– What to submit: One photo that represents what Niagara means to you\, past or present\n-How to submit: thebrownhomestead.ca/niagara-in-focus\n-Deadline: February 16\, 2026 \nWe encourage you to dig into old family albums\, scroll through your phone\, or search your own digital archives on your computer. We hope that\, through your submission\, we can tell the story of Niagara as “home\,” capturing the landscapes\, landmarks\, and memories that connect us across the region. \nThe first phase of the travelling exhibit will be unveiled at the 2nd annual Culture Crawl held at Meridian Community Centre on March 8\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Canada Talks - Unerasing Ourselves: St. Catharines\, Canadian Literature\, and the Past
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Canadian Studies in partnership with the St. Catharines Public Library presents their third Canada Talks event featuring Professor Gregory Betts. \n“Unerasing Ourselves: St. Catharines\, Canadian Literature\, and the Past”\nWednesday February 25 starting at 6:15 p.m.\nCentral Library\, Mills Room\, Downtown St. Catharines \nThis talk attends to the troubling question: what becomes of the nation when we decolonize\, when we really take our conflicts head on? \nBy looking at the history and counter-history of St. Catharines\, we can start to imagine a strategy of reading Canada through its conflicts\, without erasing any\, while highlighting the various efforts to erase evidence of conflict. “Unerasing Ourselves” traces out a series of remarkable\, improbable\, and fascinating links between such authors as Frederick Douglas\, John Richardson\, Thomas D’Arcy McGee\, and Harriet Tubman\, amongst others. Provocatively\, I argue that we must reconsider erasure as a central dynamic of the Canadian Social contract. For the sake of the future\, it is time to think more consciously of the messy conflicts shaping this land. \nLight refreshments served | All welcome

SUMMARY:MARS Lecture Series Event - Policing Sex and Gender in Renaissance Florence
DESCRIPTION:Policing Sex and Gender in Renaissance Florence featuring Professor Colin Rose \nEarly modern Florence was a bustling city of 50\,000 souls\, including high numbers of unmarried young men and relatively young widows. Many of these widows made their way into and through a network of civic and religious institutions designed to support and control them in a deeply patriarchal society; others joined a legal and regulated sex trade to attempt to provide for themselves and their families outside institutional orbits. Policing the latter to protect the former from the influence of the latter was critical to a program of moral reform imposed upon Florence by its second Duke\, Cosimo I. Responsibility for the policing of Florentine sex work lay with the Ufficiali dell’Onestà\, the Officers of Decency. This paper analyzes 30 years of sentences levelled by these men against women sex workers\, their clients\, and others embroiled in conflicts with them. By mapping these sentences and the incidents that provoked them against the religious and socioeconomic landscape of the early modern city\, we better understand how moral reform\, public order and patriarchal authority were spatially imposed upon the men and women of Renaissance Florence. \nAll Welcome\, light refreshments served.
