Featured Speakers

Local historian Adam Bunch will be the keynote speaker after dinner. His talk will focus on two Scottish immigrants that played significant roles in Toronto’s early history. Despite their shared homeland, William Lyon Mackenzie and Bishop John Strachan had deeply differing ideas on the role of government.

Bunch is an award-winning storyteller who brings the history of Toronto and Canada to life. He’s the author of The Toronto Book of the Dead and the host of the Canadiana documentary series. He is the creator of the Toronto Time Traveller newsletter and the Toronto Dreams Project. His work popularizing Canadian history has been recognized with the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media — the Pierre Berton Award.
