In 1909, Fort York reminded Canadians that “their country has been fought for and is worth fighting for again should occasion arise,” according to Ontario’s Lieutenant-Governor. In 2026, Canada-US relations are arguably the worst they’ve been since Confederation. The Friends of Fort York, in partnership with the Canadian Institute for Historical Education, is pleased to host celebrated historian Dr. Alan Taylor on November 11 at 7:00 PM, at Cameron Hall at Yorkminster Park Baptist Church, 1585 Yonge St. This is an opportunity to learn about the long history of Canada-US relations. Join us for a conversation on how we understand national history, how this history influences what we remember, or indeed forget, and why it matters on both sides of the border.
