Beaver Hall Group

The Beaver Hall Group (also known as the Beaver Hall Hill Group) was a group of artists (both male and female) who shared studio space at 305 Beaver Hall Hill in Montreal. A.Y. Jackson was the first president. The group, which had no manifesto, began exhibiting their works together in 1920. There is some disagreement about how long the group lasted. Most scholars agree that it disbanded in 1922 due to financial problems. Edwin Holgate described the Beaver Hall Group as a loose association of artists who had similar ideas and little money. Artists associated with the Beaver Hall Group focused mainly on figurative paintings. It was also one of the first artist groups in which women played key roles.

The Brunswick Four

The Brunswick Four refers to four lesbian women — Adrienne Rosen (formerly Adrienne Potts), Pat Murphy, Sue Wells and Lamar Van Dyke (formerly Heather Elizabeth Nelson) — who were thrown out of a Toronto bar on 5 January 1974. Their expulsion and eventual detention led to charges and significant public outcry at their treatment by the bar staff and the police. The Brunswick Four case raised awareness about homophobia and harassment in Canada, and fueled Toronto’s growing 2SLGBTQ+ rights movement.

The Four Kings of Canada

The Four Kings of Canada were prominent leaders from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy who traveled to London to request a British invasion of French Canada in 1710 during the War of the Spanish Succession (Queen Anne’s War). They presented Queen Anne with wampum and received numerous gifts, including the Queen Anne communion silver that is housed today in two Mohawk Chapels Royal. The high-profile reception of the Four Kings of Canada strengthened the military alliance between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Britain and shaped British perceptions of North American Indigenous peoples in the early 18th century.
