Free Public Lecture - Nick Duplessis - Social Democratic Politics and the Evolution of the CCF in Thunder Bay, 1945-59
This will be a in-person event that is free to view. Please note that the lecture will be following the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society's Annual General Meeting which runs from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in-person and recorded and posted to the Museum's YouTube at a later date.
Description:
Between 1944 and 1963, the organized labour movement and the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) at the Lakehead underwent parallel structural developments against the backdrop of conservative social forces in the postwar period that, by the end of the 1950s, necessitated a merger of the two formally distinct entities. The debate surrounding the ‘New Party’ idea in the late 1950s at the Lakehead is reflective of the uneasy relationship between labour and politics that had formed throughout the postwar period. This lecture will explore themes around the development of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and the organized labour movement between 1964 and 1963.
