Hello Shipwreck Fans!Save Ontario Shipwrecks is inviting both members and the general public to the 2021 Annual General Meeting.

Reminder of this evenings Niagara Divers May Club Meeting. Tuesday May 4th at 7:30 pm On-Line via Zoom The meeting is open to both members and guests.... Following our business meeting we will be featuring Emily Franklin an exciting new presenter in the Ontario Diving Community. PROGRAM ABSTRACT Archaeology is about understanding our history through the careful study of artifacts, structures and historic sites. Many of these sites exist on land, but many others are located underwater. From sunken planes and ships to ancient towns, there is a lot to learn from the artifacts found in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Conducting these investigations underwater involves additional complexity and challenges and requires specialized equipment. Emily’s presentation will begin with an introduction to underwater archaeology and take you through some of the challenges from equipment to preservation techniques that are part of learning about and preserving our history. BIO Emily Franklin is a masters student studying computer science at the University of Toronto. She is interested in ways to apply her diving skills outside of recreation, and to volunteer in the broader diving community. She joined the prestigious University of Toronto, Hart House Underwater Club in 2019 and currently sits on their Board as Membership Director. Since high school, Emily has had a passion for history and is now interested in exploring Underwater Archaeology as a great way for divers to volunteer their skills to help discover and preserve our history JOIN ZOOM MEETING One tap mobile: Canada: +14388097799,,83298516395#,,,,*703178# or +15873281099,,83298516395#,,,,*703178# Meeting URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83298516395...

Moderated Panel/Roundtables Toward a Partnership for Maritime Archaeology in Canada Kimberly Monk and Lisa Sonnenberg Panel Description: This workshop is one of a series of connection events being held across the country to address the need for a cohesive structure for maritime archaeology. The practice of maritime archaeology - inclusive of submerged, coastal, and terrestrial marine-related sites is fragmented in Canada, affected by limitations in funding, training opportu...nities, commercial development, and government regulation. By providing a forum for professionals and other stakeholders to discuss key issues, and through the process of formalizing local networks, we are addressing both national initiatives and regional priorities. Furthermore, with opening the discussion to the public, we wish to encourage their cooperation, share our collective knowledge, and remain transparent in our aims and objectives. To achieve the partnership objectives: improving research practice; promoting inclusiveness and engagement; and enabling education, innovation, and cooperation; we first need to address core local issues. By evaluating the current challenges across academia, government, industry, and community organizations, we can determine prospects for leveraging facilities, sharing resources, and building on current areas of strength. This workshop will focus on four regional topics (MoL diving regulations, indigenous consultation, archaeological consulting, and research) that are critical to supporting the practice of maritime archaeology within Ontario. The results from the discussion will set forth an initial agenda identifying local requirements and opportunities while contributing to a framework for building a national partnership. Format Description: Afternoon session (1:00 4:30pm) Duration 3.5 hrs. Invited Meeting (Participants/Stakeholders) Invitees will be asked to submit a 1-page archaeology CV, in advance, to share with other members, listing education, marine archaeology training and experience. In addition, a questionnaire will be circulated related to the current state of maritime archaeology in Ontario.

I had the pleasure of seeing the reconstructed Amber room a year ago - it would be a great find if this discovery pans out.

One of the positive outcomes of meetings between the Ontario Marine Heritage Committee and the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries: Notice: in order to achieve consistency between marine archaeological licences and land-based archaeological licences, MHSTCI will post a list of current and recent marine licence holders on our website (link: http://www.mtc.gov.on.ca//licensed_archaeologists_list.sht) beginning in 2020. The posted information will include: licensee name, licence class (marine), licence number and the body of water where the licence has been granted. Marine licences will remain posted for three years after the expiry date and the licence page will be updated once a month. The licence issued to you today will be included on the marine licence list when it launches.
