Historian will talk about Sir John’s visit to Orillia and ‘lively exchanges in opposing political views’

The Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) hosts the 21st annual Sir John A. Macdonald Dinner: A Celebration of Canada, at the Hawk Ridge Golf and Country Club on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019.

We are honoured to have Donald Smith, a highly respected historian, author and professor emeritus at the University of Calgary, as guest speaker.

Smith has made First Nations history his life’s work and passion. His talk will review Sir John A. Macdonald’s First Nations policy, a topic that today arouses a multitude of opinions. Smith’s talk will follow the style of Canada’s first prime minister, short and conversational in tone.
