This year celebrates an important milestone in the history of Canada, marking 150 years since the British North America Act of 1867 came into effect, resulting in the creation of Canada. Our confederation was many years in the making, and our own Oshawa residents played important roles in the development and growth of our country.

On January 17, the Oshawa Museum’s Community Engagement Co-ordinator, Lisa Terech will present Canada 150: An Oshawa Perspective – a look at the creation and growth of our country and how Oshawa contributed to the evolution of Canada.

The Oshawa Historical Society’s January Speaker Series is taking place Tuesday, January 17 at 7PM. The Speaker Series will be held at the McLaughlin Branch of the Oshawa Public Library, located at 65 Bagot Street, Oshawa. Admission to the Oshawa Historical Society Speaker Series is $3 or FREE for members of the Oshawa Historical Society.
