Toronto World Stage Festival: Outlying Islands
by the Traverse Theatre
Poetic, gripping and intense, here is a vision of an innocence, a way of being young, that
is about to be destroyed forever. In 1939, on the eve of the second world war, two
Cambridge ornithologists arrive on a remote Scottish island to survey birds. For Robert,
it is the fulfilment of his dream to find an elusive bird, the Leach's Petrel, that only
makes landfall to breed. For John it is a chance to learn from his talented mentor.
Together they and the island's leaseholder, Kirk, and his niece Ellen, take a journey to
the limits of what it is to be human. Celebrating its 40th anniversay this year, this
company will be remembered by Toronto theatre goers for its past World Stage appearance
with the award-winning Bondagers.
Outlying Islands by the Traverse Theatre is coming to the
Toronto World Stage Festival: April 9, 10, 11 & 12th 8pm; April 12 & 13th 2pm. It
is playing at the duMaurier Theatre Centre 231 Queens Quay West.

:
Bruce McCowan of the James McCowan Memorial Social History Society
will speak about the archival and artifact collections of the McCowan family, Scottish
immigrants to Scarborough in 1833. From the oldest known evidence of human occupation in
Toronto -- 10,000 year-old aboriginal spear points -- to oral histories gathered very
recently for the latest McCowan Society publication, Bruce will survey a broad range of
leases, wills, personal letters, bankruptcy papers, coins, furniture and architectural and
agricultural relics, all weaving the story of an ordinary Scottish Canadian farm family
into the wider context of their community. The impact of the Lowland Clearances on the
McCowan family will be covered in some detail.
The Lowland Clearances: We will also
listen to this BBC-Radio Scotland program. This series has a strong focus on the impact of
the agricultural revolution on Scots who emigrated to Scarborough in the early 19th
century.
Call 416-447-4895.
BBC-Radio Scotland Series: The Lowland Clearances
Beginning about 250 years ago, there was a profound

Clearances"... Listen on the internet: www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland.

The McCowan Collection
The Robert Ashbridge McCowan and William Harold McCowan Collections of
aboriginal artifacts include the earliest known evidence of human
occupation in Toronto, approximately 8,000 BC. The sub-title of the exhibition, 10,000
years of Toronto History, was so chosen because of two of these relics found by Ashley and Harold McCowan. For many years, a partial skull was also in
the attic of the Harold McCowan home -- and the associated family story relates to the
"wigwam that must have been down by the bush".
James McCowan’s letter of August 20 1834 was written from
Springbank, Scarborough, 8 days before his death of cholera.
This letter is an Upper Canada medical history treasure, not just for it’s references
to the cholera deaths in the neighbourhood but, in particular, for McCowan’s
first-person description of the early symptoms of cholera. Springbank was on Lot 20
Concession B less than 1/2 mile east of the location of the aboriginal artifact finds.
Notes regarding this medical
history treasure.
You can also take the Virtual Tour at http://indexes.tpl.toronto.on.ca/vexhibit/Toronto/TPM/home.html.
Click on the spearpoint
and then on the "View Timeline" link to start your tour of the McCowan
Collection. The "Paleo-Indian", "Archaic Spear Points", "Ground
Stone Axes" and "Ontario Iroquoian Pottery" are from the McCowan
Collection. The James McCowan letter of 1834
is also in the virtual tour. The estimate of 500 deaths by cholera in York that year is
probably low -- many were very quickly buried in common graves.

Sentimental Journey presents Angela
Haskill
We are excited to have Angela return to Sentimental Journey. She is a warm and talented
performer. After studying classical music, Angela realized that she was most comfortable
singing and sharing her own songs and ideas. Soul searching is something Angela knows a
lot about. After spending time as a "street musician" on Sparks Street in Ottawa
and developing her skills as a songwriter, plans were set in motion to record her music.
We can now share her experiences with the stories told on her first CD,
"Awakenings". While Angela's influences range from Stevi Nicks and Allison Kraus
to Terri Clark and the Dixie Chicks, her music is hard to stylize, beyond saying that it
has a little Celtic flair mixed with the playfulness of some light bluegrass. Her music
definitely has a roots feel!
