Jearld Moldenhauer

Jearld Moldenhauer, activist, administrator, bookseller, photographer (born 9 August 1946 in Niagara Falls, New York). Jearld Moldenhauer is one of Canada’s most influential gay rights advocates and organizers. After founding one of the first gay rights groups at a US college in 1968, he spearheaded the first post-Stonewall gay organization in Canada and the first at a Canadian university. An architect of the gay liberation movement, Moldenhauer founded and ran Glad Day Bookshop (the oldest queer bookstore in the world) and was a key figure in the creation of the Body Politic, Toronto Gay Action, the Gay Alliance Toward Equality and the Canadian Gay Liberation Movement Archives (now called the ArQuives). In February 1972, Moldenhauer became the first gay rights advocate to formally address a political party conference in Canada. As a photographer, he was also a key documenter of the early gay rights movement in Canada.

Barnaby was a rising talent in Canadian and Indigenous cinema. He died of cancer at the age of 46. Several awards and grants have since been named in his honour. In 2024, he was posthumously awarded the Academy Board of Directors’ Tribute Award at the Canadian Screen Awards for his “extraordinary impact on the growth of the Canadian media industry.”

Jeffery Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst

Jeffery Amherst, 1st Baron Amherst, British army officer (born 29 January 1717 near Sevenoaks, England; died 3 August 1797 near Sevenoaks). Jeffery Amherst was the commander-in-chief of British forces in North America during the Seven Years' War, which saw France surrender Canada to the British. Several streets and towns in North America — including Amherst, Nova Scotia, and Amherstburg, Ontario — were named in his honour. However, Amherst’s legacy is controversial, given his policy towards Indigenous peoples. This included his suggestion in 1763 to deliberately infect Indigenous peoples with smallpox during Pontiac’s War. In 2019, Montreal’s Amherst Street was renamed Atateken Street; Atateken means “brothers and sisters” in Kanien'kéha, the Mohawk language.

Jeffrey John Spalding, CM, artist, teacher, curator, gallery director (born 5 November 1951 in Edinburgh, Scotland; died 14 October 2019 en route to Toronto, ON). Throughout the greater part of the 1970s, Spalding produced abstract works, primarily paintings, generated through predetermined, systematic processes. His early commitment to procedural artmaking methods emerged during his senior high school years 1968 and 1969. It was refined during his initial studies at the University of Guelph (1969–72), where, associated with Eric Cameron, Spalding produced a series of abstract, hard-edge, geometric screenprints and paintings. He used procedures elaborated from elementary colour theory and from alphabetical and numerical systems.
