Canterbury ElderCollege Welcomes You!

Canterbury ElderCollege is pleased to welcome you to the 2015

Spring Semester with our more than 80 course offerings! Canterbury

College launched ElderCollege as part of its mission to enhance the

opportunities for education at all levels and make them more

accessible. Canterbury College is the residential Anglican College

affiliated with the University of Windsor. Our ElderCollege program

was founded in 2010 to provide educational outreach to the growing

segment of the population over the age of 55, and to enhance the

attractiveness of the Windsor/Essex and Kent County regions as

prospective retirement destinations.

The ElderCollege philosophy is to carry educational opportunities out

to those communities where people live. This we do through a

network of remote campuses. The courses are intended to be fun and

stimulating for all participants.

With this in mind Canterbury ElderCollege was designed to provide

learning opportunities for older adults who wish to enrich their

lifestyle through active involvement in education and contribute to the

social and cultural development of the community.

Four volunteer Curriculum Committees have been hard at work

developing courses over the last few months! From Chatham-Kent to

Essex and to Windsor, our team of curriculum committees, and the

selection of courses they are preparing, are ready to launch another

exciting semester. All the courses are offered by volunteer instructors

with a passion for their subject.

As we welcome all of you to our 2015 Spring Semester, we invite you

to peruse the classes we are offering within this new Course Calendar.

We hope you will have the opportunity to partake in the variety of

classes that have been developed for your educational and social

enjoyment. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

AMHERSTBURG CAMPUS

Detroit River 1907: “The Big Dig” – Livingstone

Channel In the early 1800’s, three obstructions to navigation on the Great

Lakes stood in the way of shipping to and from the west. These

were: the Niagara River; St. Mary’s River; and, the seemingly

benign Detroit River. At the turn of the 20th

century lake shipping

commerce was escalating. In order to handle the need for larger

ships to accommodate the increase in bulk shipping, a number of

troublesome areas in the Great Lakes system had to be improved.

Once the Soo Canal and the Welland Shipping canal were taken

care of the only remaining hazard by the turn of the Century was

the “Hell-Gate” of the Great Lakes; also known as the Lime Kiln

Crossing. Located a few miles north of Amherstburg this vein of

limestone rock ran directly across the Detroit River in the path of

navigation. At times when a strong west wind blew for days and

the waters of Lake Erie were piled up at its east end near Buffalo,

the channel depth could drop as much as four feet or more in the

Detroit River at the Hell-Gate. That, on a good day, was only about

11 feet deep. It was decided by the U. S. and Canadian

Government authorities that this obstruction had to be removed.

This was just the beginning of what eventually became known as

the Livingstone Channel project. In this course we will explore the

remarkable engineering feat which eventually created both an

island and a major shipping channel. Class Size: Max: 25

the Dodge Brothers Company producing chassis and engine

components for other automakers including Olds and Ford. By

1914 they had created their own car, a 4 cylinder Dodge Model 30,

pioneering many standard features later taken for granted. Their

cars were second in the US in sales by 1916. They died within a

BIO NOTE: The Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage

Village is one of the most interesting and unique tourist attractions

in Canada South. Their mission is to preserve the past for present

and future generations. The Canadian Transportation Museum is a

state-of-the-art facility that houses modes of transportation, from

the mid 1800’s up to the 1992 Dodge Viper. The Heritage Village

features over a dozen buildings of local significance which have

been relocated. The museum is open for tours all year round!

Essex’s Railway Station and the “Big Bang” This station was built in 1887 as Essex was an important

transportation hub. It served trains from a variety of lines

including CN Rail, the New York Central and Michigan Central.

In 1907, the station was heavily damaged when a rail car filled

with nitro-glycerin exploded. It was restored at the time and was

put back in service. When passenger service was discontinued, the

building stood empty. In 1975, efforts began to preserve the

building. Restoration of the old Railway Station was finished in

1994. Today it is an excellent example of the railway architecture

of an upscale stone station, surprisingly found in a small town.

We’ll trace the history of the rail service through Essex and

provide details of the “Big Bang” and its aftermath. Also you will

tour this magnificent building and view many photos from the past.

Come join us for a trip back in time. Class Size: Max. 25

Essex Region Conservation Authority and You We’ll explore the origins of the Conserv. Authority 'movement'

and the demand by resource interests to plan and manage our

landscapes differently. We’ll also review the creation of ERCA in

defined its early (and ongoing) programs. Also we’ll review what's

happened since 1973 and look to the future and the 'next

generation' of conservation challenges. Explanations about the

variety of natural and heritage sites managed and its mandate to

protect water resources and waterways will be included. Indeed,

we will learn of the impact on life in Essex County in consequence

of ERCA’s mandate. Finally, of course, we will also look into the

deposits. Hwy 402 runs roughly along a ridge that separates

watershed which drains into Lake Huron (North) and Lake St.

Clair (South). It originates in Middlesex County and drains through

Lambton & Kent Counties. Because of the river, early settlers’

need for grist mills and a transportation route give the river

Forgotten Automakers of Essex County Along with the big three automakers in the early years of the 20

th

century, there were 20 others who manufactured cars in Windsor

and Essex County. Some lasted only a short time, but others

survived for a number of years. Ultimately, they disappeared but

remain a rich part of our local history. Where were their factories?

How big did they get? Why did they not survive? This course,

will explore the role these companies played in Windsor becoming

the “Automotive Capital of Canada”. Participants will tour the

Canadian Transportation Museum during the second hour

(wheelchair accessible). This course is a must for anyone interested

United Empire Loyalist: Essex County’s Experience We’ll explore the unique German ancestry of many families in

modern Essex County. Many United Empire Loyalists (UEL)

families settled in the region after the American Revolution and

many were of German origin speaking only rudimentary English.

Today many local families, often with Anglicized names, can trace

their ancestry directly back to the Hessian “auxiliaries” from the

German Principality of Hesse-Kassel. The “Auxiliaries” were

soldiers who served the British monarchy during the war. Britain’s

King George III was of German origin, as were his father and

grandfather. The contributions of these settlers to Essex County are

remarkable. We’ll also discuss the experiences and impact of other

American refugee settlers including those of French, English,

Scottish and Irish origins. The Underground Railroad will form

part of this early historic narrative. Among Essex County’s early

settlers there was diversity and that, perhaps, is what makes our

contemporary community so fascinating. Class Size: Max. 20

history, who are frequently forgotten, or at least inadequately

that have remained the same. Class Size: Max. 25

Forest. We’ll walk on an active and working Essex County farm

Peacemaker or Powdermonkey?: Canada's Changing

International Role: An ElderCollege Roundtable Canadian Journalist, the late James Minifie published a book

(1960): "Peacemaker or Powdermonkey: Canada's Role in a

Revolutionary World". The book appeared in the immediate years

after Lester B. Pearson had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

for his concept of UN Peacekeeping forces in the 1954 Suez Canal

crisis. Minifie's argument was that Canada could play the role of

Peacekeeper as in the Suez crisis or, it could play the role

Powdermonkey to the more global militaristic policies of the U.S.

The question of Canada's role seems relevant once more as the

current Conserv. Gov’t has clearly moved Canada's international &

military role away from, for example, UN "Peacekeeping" to

active military engagement. This is an opportunity for an open and

full discussion of Canada's role in international affairs. We can

explore our military and international political history in terms

both of Peace and War. What is an appropriate international role

for Canada? What are the consequences of role change if that has

occurred? What role should Canada seek in future? Roundtable is a

discussion forum to explore ideas and learn from others and an

opportunity to debate consequential issues. Class Size: Max. 15

Christian Ethics and the Challenge of Climate Change Climate change is newsworthy, but also controversial. It is a topic

that is currently being discussed at the forefront of our Western

society, among our political parties, among activist groups, and

within various religious communities. Christianity is responding to

emerging questions of climate change through “ecological

theology” – a theology that moves towards understanding our

place within the world and our responsibilities within creation.

Christian ethics are engaging with practical questions that address

our economic structures, our water consumption, and even our use

of chemicals in farming and consumer goods. As we examine

Christian ethics on climate change, our discussions will continue to

engage with these questions: “What is climate change, how does

the Christian faith respond to this crisis, and what might I do?”

Kosovo: A Canadian Peacekeeping Experience Yugoslavia emerged after World War II as a Socialist Federal

Republic and was an amalgamation of several distinct ethnic and

religious communities. Under Josip Broz Tito’s leadership the

Yugoslavian federation lurched along. Tito died (1980) and by

1991-92 the federation was disintegrating. A brutal Bosnia war

(1992-95) resulted in genocide, mass expulsions and more. One

landlocked area known as Kosovo sought to create an independent

state. In 1996 the Kosovo Liberation Army, began armed conflict

with Serbia and what remained of Yugoslavia. By 1999 the

Kosovo war was generating international concerns so NATO

sponsored a Peacekeeping Force (KFOR). Canada initially

contributed 1,470 personnel and was one of 48 countries engaged

in trying to bring some form of sanity to Kosovo. Five Canadians

are still on assignment there. We will explore some of the political

White (European) Slaves in the Middle East

(ca 1600-2000) When we think of slavery today, most of us would think of

European slave traders capturing West African blacks into slavery.

The image is that of black people brought to the Americas from

Africa to work on plantations and in households. What is not well-

known is that whites and Europeans were also kidnapped and sold

as slaves. Some of the kidnapped were females, taken by Muslims

and sold as sex-slaves to people of the Middle East who could

afford them. Also less publicly known is that millions of East

African blacks were enslaved over the centuries in the Muslim

Middle East. At the same time, Whites and Europeans were also

kidnapped and sold as slaves in the Islamic world. This course

will open your eyes and minds about a difficult and sensitive topic

that has not received due attention in the multicultural, politically

correct environment of the Western world. Class Size: Max. 20
