From the number of women who are involved in a variety of different activities within their communities, this paper shows that, in Haliburton, as in many other communities cited, women play a central role throughout the community. We see this not only in the number of extensions women make into the community but also that the women who work in these areas of social service work within the community as well.
In many ways, the activities these women become involved with are extensions of their more traditional roles as wives, mothers, and employees.

Part of this restoration is the aim of creating facilities that will allow for the viewing of this spawning as a learning experience. Unfortunately, there are problems inherent in this. Walleye are dark fish and have developed eyes that are extremely sensitive to light. Because of this, walleye spawn almost entirely at night, making it difficult to watch. Existing common practice, in order to view this interesting part of aquatic life, is the use of flashlights on the area. It is known that light can interfere with normal community interactions of walleye. With this in mind, Dave Mowat of the Drag River Rehabilitation Project proposed this research in order to create an area in which the walleye can spawn safely while, at the same time, allowing humans to watch.
This project deals specifically with the problems of lighting and effects on normal interactions of the walleye in the river. This paper suggests what intensity of light walleye generally live and interact within as well as what colours the eyes will absorb and which ones they won't.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Drag River,Environment Studies,fish,walleye",http://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/615f44afd04ddee98be13999aa0d4b11.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Recognizing that there has been a growth in demand for Haliburton as a popular tourist area and that this results in some positive economic implications as well as posing some environmental, social, and economic problems, the author suggests that there is a need for proactive management strategies to cope with such growth. The vision of a bioregional analysis of the relationship between tourism and the geography of the area is put forth as the most desirable way to manage this complex issue.
Such expansion in tourism took place at an earlier date in Muskoka, and by comparing the development of tourism in Muskoka with that of Haliburton, the paper presents similarities in expansion and points out some of the environmental pitfalls that might be avoided with careful management. Community efforts are underway to promote Haliburton as a year-round spot to visit and this would help reduce the negative impacts of seasonal economies. Constraints on tourism and land use conflicts with respect to cottagers as well as environmental concerns are studied. The paper concludes with a look at tourism potential in upcoming years.
The focus of this paper is the hospitality industry in the Haliburton Highlands and the recognition by the tourism industry that they are part of the bioregion in which they operate.By looking at three distinct hospitality organizations, the author describes how each uses the environment as a key marketing tool to entice clients to the area.
Birch Point Lodge, PineStone Resort, and Hart Lodge are three resorts that are seen to practice bioregionalism, each in their own way. Following a look at the history of tourism and the hospitality industry in general, each resort is described, outlining how it uses the surrounding environment in planning and marketing strategies, and how each works within the parameters of bioregional practice.
Instilling the values of bioregionalism can be difficult as it involves changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour. The natural place to start is with the children of our society and the author maintains that camps, if based on positive environmental ethics, can play a very strong role in fostering a child's sense of relationship with the earth and community.
The development of such learning through camp experiences is presented in general terms with reference to the aims of camping associations and environmental philosophers. Specifically, these objectives are looked at in more depth with reference to Camp Allsaw and the work of Sam and Marjorie Hambly as they pursued camping focusing on the principles and practices of ecology and conservation. The camp stresses the bioregional principles of community, the development of a sense of place, and the importance of home as the place to make a difference and its program is presented as an example of how camps can play a crucial role in shaping the desired attributes of bioregionalism.
