TP_4819 The Mental Health Impacts of Climate Change
The purpose of this study is to gather evidence-based information on the lesser studied mental health effects of climate change. The study will consider what are the mental health impacts of climate change as they relate to being affected by extreme weather, economic impacts, and eco-anxiety, and what populations are most vulnerable to these impacts.This report serves as a scoping document on the mental health impacts of climate change and further research is required on the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit region specifically.

TP_4834 To Go or To Stay? Rural Impacts on the
Perceptions of “Failure to Launch” Youth
Failure to launch is an increasingly significant issue youth are currently experiencing due to delays in economic independency. Failure to launch involves not being able to leave your community, or leaving and having to come back. The concept of failure to launch goes hand in hand with lifecycle milestones disruptions. Lifecycle milestones are important events in a youth’s life that impact their development, which can be disrupted due to a lack of resources. A review of the literature and re-analysis of a research study conducted in 2013 consisting of interviews with rural youth in the Haliburton County, City of Kawartha Lake, and Peterborough County about migration decisions was conducted. The current research project will determine how failure to launch and lifecycle milestone disruptions are impacting today’s youth, families, and communities.
The impacts of failure to launch and lifecycle milestone disruptions are particularly relevant in a rural setting, and the current research project will look specifically at how these phenomena can be addressed in Haliburton County. The impacts found during the research consist of mental health issues, family strain, financial distress, long lasting effects on the economy, and diminishing rural youth population. All these impacts need to be addressed to mitigate the impact failure to launch is having on rural communities. The report will end with recommendations on how to mitigate failure to launch specifically in Haliburton County.

NR-681 Submittal of Final Kushog Lake Ground Truthing Report 2014
Kushog Lake Identification and Inflow Analysis: Year 3
Prepared for the Kushog Lake Property Owners Association, in partnership with ULinks
Centre for Community Based Research, this report is a summary of year three
of a multi-year project ground truthing all inflows into Kushog Lake. As the third
and final report in the ground truthing process, results of inflow verification along
the eastern shore, south of Ox Narrows, are detailed to confirm locations as
identified in the Glenside Ecological Services report, Kushog Lake Watershed:
Wetland and Stream Desktop Analysis (Heaven, 2011). New inflows absent from
the initial report are also mapped and analyzed, and locations and data for all
inflows identified throughout the life of the project (2011-14) are compiled for
review and comparison. Biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates using the
Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) protocol continues the monitoring
of previous years, sampling three reference sites established in 2011-2012, and
initiating sampling at three new reference sites.

NR-680 KUSHOG LAKE SUB-WATERSHEDS 1-10:
Ground Truthing Inflows and Establishing Long-Term Monitoring Sites
Final Report
This report details the inflows on the western shore of Kushog Lake south of Ox Narrows. Ten sub-watersheds were identified and seven perennial streams were sampled as recommended by the Glenside Ecological Services desktop analyses, Kushog Lake Property Owner’s Association (KLPOA) and U-Links Centre for Community-Based Research. The streams were inventoried for water chemistry, hydraulic head, bank and stream bed characteristics, stream structure, surrounding vegetation and land-use. GPS points, photographs and sketches were taken at each perennial stream.
