Tags: Vol. 5, January 2025, Issue 1

Grace: One Story of Thousands

In response to unprecedented demand, the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre has renewed Grace: One Story of Thousands for the 2024-2025 academic year. Launched in 2023, the exhibition chronicles the life of a woman named Grace, one of the 1511 people buried in the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital cemetery at the corner of Horner and Evans Avenues. The exhibition shares personal letters and hospital records from Grace’s incarceration in the Hamilton Asylum, and were gathered and shared for this display by Grace’s great-niece, Marg Tumilty. In response to a heavy demand for tours and in-class activities, Grace: One Story of Thousands will be open by appointment only for the winter 2025 semester, with appointments available from Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre (WEL-104).

New Toronto Holiday Market

The Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre, in partnership with Maureen Luke, hosted the fifth annual New Toronto Holiday Market on Saturday, November 30. The event, held in support of Haven on the Queensway, featured over 30 local vendors offering unique, handcrafted, and locally produced goods. Shoppers had the chance to meet talented local artists, authors, and artisans, including campus beekeeper, Fran Freeman, who showcased products from Humber’s sustainable urban apiary. This year, a selection of vendor spaces reserved for Indigenous creators through collaboration with Indigenous Education and Engagement. Proceeds from the market were directed to Haven on the Queensway, a local organization providing essential support and services to individuals and families in need.
