SUMMARY:The Gaelic Language - Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Come out to the beautifully preserved one-room school House in the Tait’s Community to be inspired to learn the Gaelic language. Trevor Aitkens will teach us some basic words and expressions and explain the meaning of familiar given names\, surnames and place names in our community.  Or join via Zoom \nGaelic originated in Scotland in 500 AD and was in common use up until the battle of Culloden in 1746. After this point\, support waned for the language to the point where it was in danger of becoming extinct.  During the latter half of the 19th century\, it was the 3rd most spoken language in Canada and actually had a bill tabled in the Senate to become an official language. \nTrevor Aitkens grew up in Brooke township\, Lambton County\, and lived with his grandmother who spoke Gaelic.  He regrets now that he didn’t take it up at the time. He studied a number of other languages but realized later that he needed to pay homage to his own heritage. Trevor stumbled upon a night school offering in Mississauga in 1998 and took up a 25-year learning period with the language. \nThis is a public event for all ages. \nThis is a hybrid event: Zoom and in person.  Here’s the instructions and links: \nTime: Mar 15\, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82585128691?pwd=VURnVFlTdFNQL01laUkzSnBFQU1JUT09 \nMeeting ID: 825 8512 8691\nPasscode: 094665\nOne tap mobile\n+13863475053\,\,82585128691#\,\,\,\,*094665# US\n+15074734847\,\,82585128691#\,\,\,\,*094665# US \nDial by your location\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 720 707 2699 US (Denver)\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\nMeeting ID: 825 8512 8691\nPasscode: 094665 \n
