Since 1990, a small group of dedicated historians have annually held a History Symposium in South-Western Ontario. Based on the success of our 2021 and 2022 online conferences, we stayed online for 2023. We were thrilled to return to an in-person format for 2024! We also offered an online streaming option for our long-distance friends! To see a replay of the talks, please visit our YouTube channel here:
