Symposium
Saturday, July 11 | 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Brantford and District Labour Centre
1100 Clarence Street South, Brantford
Join the Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre for a fascinating symposium exploring the rich history and heritage of Eagle Place. Learn about the area's origins, the industries and businesses that shaped the community, and what life was like growing up in the historic "Eagle's Nest Tract."
The symposium will feature presentations by Dave Levac, former MPP for Brant and Eagle Place native; Murray Angus, President and Chair of the Brant Historical Society; and Jack Jackowetz, historian and artist with a passion for Brantford's history. The event will also include the unveiling of 12 large aluminum historical display panels created by Jack Jackowetz.
Discover how the area came to be known as Eagle Flats, a name given by Joe Two Fish, a Haudenosaunee resident, inspired by the eagles that once nested on the flats where vast flocks of Passenger Pigeons gathered.
Whether you're a local resident, history enthusiast, or simply curious about Brantford's past, this free community event offers a unique opportunity to connect with the stories that shaped Eagle Place.
