RESOURCES
  • Bill C-23 passes to much criticism. Here's the link to an article from the STAR. This has nothing to do with creating affordable housing. Heritage groups across the provinces have been responding.
  • The Toronto History Weekly is a new newsletter by Adam Bunch which summarizes what's going on in the local history scene. It's a useful place to check for events and talks, as well as curiosities. Have a look -- it's free for the first few issues.
