Kathryn Lake Hogan will present on “Hate in the North: Exploring Ku Klux Klan’s Impact on Canadian Communities”
- Discover the little-known story of the Ku Klux Klan’s activities in Canada during the
1920s and 1930s. This webinar unpacks the Klan’s presence in Ontario, including its

genealogical insights, learn how communities resisted hate and how to research this
controversial part of Canadian history responsibly.
