The Fenian Raids/Battle of Ridgeway Conference will take place June 2-3, 2016 in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. This symposium, the first on this topic in Canada, will present a complete overview of the restive and occasionally unruly political climate on the Canada/US border in the 1860's through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and specialist information sessions. The presentations will focus on the events leading up to and culminating in the Battle of Ridgeway/Fort Erie June 2, 1866.

Several MQUP authors will be presenting, including William Jenkins (Between Raid and Rebellion), Garth Stevenson (Parallel Paths), and David Wilson (Thomas D'Arcy McGee Volume 1 & Volume 2) who will be a keynote speaker.

The conference is intended to be a multidisciplinary event. The addresses and lectures will be augmented with art, music and literature of the period.
