Download or read book Toronto s Last Rainbow written by Margaret Blair and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toronto’s Last Rainbow paints a nostalgic portrait of Toronto in a bygone era from the point of view of one central neighbourhood. It catches the spirit of the times just ahead of the feminist era. With poignancy and humour it follows an amazing cast of real and imaginary residents, each with a strong and unique voice, each human and fallible, through their daily lives. This book features serious issues of the time such as the lack of access to safe abortion, and the growing number of divorces. Then, most mothers stayed at home. Parents had the time to organize for their children annual events like the Summerhill Fair with free candy floss and donkey rides in the summer, and Halloween in late fall. However, feminist issues were stirring, family life would be changing; women were looking to work outside the home and showing a growing interest in non-traditional areas of work. Residents then faced issues like bullying, suicide, and a violent crime in the neighbourhood, that resonate today. During 1969, Canada became officially bilingual; the important Morgentaler decision started the nation’s move towards safe abortion. Toronto’s citizens elected a new city government, devoted to a changed concept of development; turning away from building expressways across the city centre. This pivotal year saw the start of a twenty-year era of progress for the (then) City of Toronto.

Download or read book A Mile of Make Believe written by Steve Penfold and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mile of Make Believe examines the unique history of the Santa Claus parade in Canada. This volume focuses on the Eaton’s sponsored parades that occurred in Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg as well as the shorter-lived parades in Calgary and Edmonton. There is also a discussion of small town alternatives, organized by civic groups, service clubs, and chambers of commerce. By focusing on the pioneering effort of the Eaton’s department store Steve Penfold argues that the parade ultimately represented a paradoxical form of cultural power: it allowed Eaton’s to press its image onto public life while also reflecting the decline of the once powerful retailer. Penfold’s analysis reveals the "corporate fantastic" – a visual and narrative mix of meticulous organization and whimsical style– and its influence on parade traditions. Steve Penfold’s considerable analytical skills have produced a work that is simultaneously a cultural history, history of business and commentary on consumerism. Professional historians and the general public alike would be remiss if this wasn’t on their holiday wish list.
Download or read book The Last Illusion written by Herman Ganzevoort and published by University of Calgary Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, information about Dutch immigration to Canada has been scarce as much was lost during the German occupation of Holland during World War II. However, Herman Ganzevoort was able to unearth and translate rare letters and articles written by Dutch immigrants during the 1920s, which offer new insight into the struggles the Dutch faced to fit into their new country. The letters opened up the inner dimensions of the immigrants: the reasons for their emigration, their hopes, their fears, and, best of all, their experiences in Canada. These images are not reminiscences screened and filtered by the passage of time but are immediate and compelling. The writers of The Last Illusion: Letters from Dutch Immigrants in the "Land of Opportunity" 1924-1930 shared their feelings and showed an openness that was uncommon in their culture and time. Their words describe the pain caused by separation and loss, and the sense of shared joy and exhilaration when goals were reached.
