The Champlain Society announces that the 2024 winner of its Floyd Chalmers Award for the best book in Ontario history is Ian Radforth for Expressive Acts: Celebrations and Demonstrations in the Streets of Victorian Toronto, a study of:
occasions when crowds gathered in the streets of Toronto to demonstrate, contest, or celebrate. Vividly written and richly researched, his accounts include rowdy election days, beleaguered religious processions, rallies for troops who subdued the North-West Resistance, Street Railway Company strikes, and Viceregal and Royal visits.
