In my last 4 years living in Toronto, I was a volunteer at the Royal Ontario Museum (R.O.M.) downtown Toronto. It's an amazing place, with thousands of things on display. If you haven't been there, or if you haven't been there for a while, since the huge expansion, you really should go.
Check out the Website here.
A former student from the Ontario School for the Deaf in Belleville, Liliane Lortie, was in my class many years ago. Liliane works at the R.O.M. and has hosted two Video Podcasts for the museum.
One of Liliane's Podcasts is about Native Indian beadwork at the R.O.M. Click on the link to see her.
The other Podcast by Liliane is about Paul Kane, a famous Canadian artist. Paul Kane is interesting for the Deaf in Ontario. Why? For many years after Paul Kane died, his house at 56 Wellesley Street East was owned by the Deaf men and women of the Evangelical Church of the Deaf.
