Canadian Week in Review 27 February 2017


I have come across the following Canadian genealogy, history and heritage websites, social media, and newspaper articles this past week that were of interest to me, and I thought you might be interested in them, too. 

This Week in Canadian History 

The Confederation Painter 

British-born painter, watercolourist and illustrator, William George Richardson Hind (1833-1889), immigrated to Canada in 1851. Although he advertised himself a sign painter in the Daily Colonist, in Victoria, British Columbia, he became the first artist to illustrate Canada’s landscapes during the 1860s-70s. 

He earned the nickname nickname of the Confederation Painter across the county. 
Social Media 

(Video) 'It's special to be a Métis' on Louis Riel Day 


For most Manitoba workers, Louis Riel Day is a holiday — a day off that breaks up the stretch of time between New Year's and Easter and allows people to spend time with family. 

At the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, though, they're working hard to make sure Riel's legacy gets its due. 

(Video) Heritage Day 2017 celebrates Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq culture, heritage  


What does it mean to be Mi’kmaq? That’s a question several Mi’kmaq Nova Scotians are hoping to explain, as they celebrate Heritage Day 2017. 

Giant mosaic project brings Canadians together through art  


A group from St. Albert, Alta. is putting together a nationwide art project that could be the largest in Canadian history. 

The Canada 150 Mosaic is a series of murals that will be displayed in communities from Vancouver Island to P.E.I. to mark Canada’s 150th birthday. When all of the murals are put together, it will become a series of train cars that are meant to tell the history of each community and those who live there.

Canada Stories this Week

Tour' Touch   

The Archives of Ontario is offering something different in 2017. It will be offering free lunchtime tours of the 31 public artworks on permanent display at the archives at Macdonald Block at 900 Bay St in Toronto. 

They say “A significant number are also located in over 30 towns and cities across the province. Broad in scope and eclectic in nature, the collection is made up of historical and contemporary paintings, works on paper, indoor and outdoor Yousculpture, official portraits and antique furnishings and decorative objects”.

You can register at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/tour-of-public-art-in-the-macdonald-block-complex-tickets-31604063605

Transcribe!
The Nova Scotia Archived has a new project! 

They are wondering if you would like if you would like to transcribe documents that they have in-house. They are trying to start an “online workspace where the public can participate in enhancing access to our collections documenting over 300 years of Nova Scotia history, people, and culture. This is a great opportunity for participants to deeply experience our collections and transcribe hand-written historical materials”.

This is a test project for the archives and we are starting small but plan to add more documents as the archives learn more about the technology and how you are using it.

To find out more about this new project, go to https://archives.novascotia.ca/transcribe 

Be sure to tell your friends about us.

Hi, My name is Kate and i just want to share my experience with you.
I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking group called Cyber ATM Hackers. They are really good at what they are doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not a scam. One week later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $1500 USD. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life. So far i have being able to withdraw up to $21,000 USD without any stress of getting caught. I don't know why i am posting this here, i just felt this might help those of us in need of financial stability. CYBER HACKERS has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address cyberatmhackers@outlook.com . And I believe they will also Change your Life

I've been reluctant in purchasing this blank ATM card i heard about on-line because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from DAVID BENJAMIN COMPANY & we both confirmed it really works, without delay i gave it a go. I have been able to make a cash withdrawal of $5000 daily from the card and am glad i gave it a try at last & this card has really changed my life financially and no more hanging bills. If you need this card from genuine hackers then do not hesitate to contact davidbenjaminltd@outlook.com
