  • Early Haliburton Picnics plus Aberdeen School Strike
    This week, Kate takes a look at the many instances of picnics in the early years of European settlement in Haliburton County. Plus, Paul has the story of the student's strike at Montreal's Aberdeen primary school 122 years ago in February 1913. The students were the children of poor Jewish immigarants attending a school staffed and administered by the Protestant school board. Religious, cultural, societal differences, and anti-Jewish discrimination resulted in the students walking out on a strike in protest. It was a very early example of students protesting for a social justice cause. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum.

  • 1938 Construction Project plus the 4 Kings of Canada
    This week, Kate points out that large construction projects don't have to take years. Here's one - the building of a church in Haliburton village - that with a little community help only took a month. Plus Paul has the story of the what were dubbed the 4 Indigenous Kings of Canada. They were part of a 1710 displomatic mission to Queen Anne of England lobbying for an invasion of French Quebec. In England they were held in high esteem by the public and feted as world leaders. And the mission was a success. The British launched a combined land and sea invasion of Quebec later that year. The visit by the 4 Kings also had a positive impact on British-Indigenous relations that resonated through the following decades, although it also became a factor in the causes of the American Revolution.

Plus Paul has the story of Maurice 'Rocket' Richard, possibly one of the best Canadian professional hockey players who's career with the Montreal Canadiens spanned 1942 to 1960. Maurice was a mercurial, passionate, player who was targeted by opposing players trying to slow him down - and he wasn't afraid to retaliate. In 1955 he was suspended for an episode where he retaliated against a Boston Bruins player, punching a linesman in the process.
