Trace the history of the oldest surviving home in St. Catharines, from Indigenous life in this corner of the region to the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists who completed the John Brown House in 1802. Learn the story of the Brown family, how they came to settle at the edge of the Short Hills, and what went into building their home. 

SCPL and the Brown Homestead are offering a series of talks once per month from January through March 2024. Join us for one session or the whole series to learn more about the Brown Homestead.

Hamilton, the industrial heart of Canada, is a super place to see all of our major wetland types from swamps to marshes, and a bog and a fen.  From the immense Beverly Swamp in Flamborough to our newest beaver ponds in Winona the variety provides us with a myriad of stories.  Bruce Mackenzie will wade us through the differences between the major wetland types, their significance and their flora and fauna.  Some of Hamilton’s wetlands are relatively new, some are gone but some of them were born when the glaciers left.
