The February-March 2025 issue of Canada's History, now reaching subscribers (and newsstands if you can find one) has a terrific blues-tinted cover honouring Oscar Peterson, born one century ago, and a Peterson profile by music journalist Jason MacNeil.
Also: "Saving Sweet and Sour," a terrific article by history grad student Koby Song-Nichols on the survival and revival of Toronto's downtown Chinatown after two-thirds of it was expropriated and demolished for the building of the new city hall and public square. Moira Dann on Kathleen, the spendthrift heir to the Dunsmuirs of Victoria. CH stalwart Nelle Oosterholm celebrates Trinity, Newfoundland, and the Rising Tide Theatre Company that makes it home there. And notes on the history teachers recently honoured in Winnipeg with the Governor-General's History Medals.
Nothing from me in this issue, but I'm working up a feature story for the fall of 2025. Subscribe.
