Beginning with a detailed account of Canadian industrialization from the time of Confederation through the mid 1900s the report moves to a history of the plant at Donald. The plant began producing charcoal and moved into the manufacture of by-products such as acetate and wood alcohol as it responded to demand from southern markets and closed when new petrochemical related processes made its work redundant. Its development is outlined in the context of the inter-relatedness of the factory, its products, the process, the community, and the natural environment.]]>

The purpose of this paper is to recognize the importance of hockey in Canada and within the Haliburton community. A short history of Canadian hockey prefaces a look at community-orientated minor league hockey in general and how hockey serves as an important cultural force in towns and villages across Canada as it forges community relationships and involvement. The history of hockey in Haliburton and the current state of its minor hockey league is outlined. Focusing on the topics of regional disparities, parent involvement, coaching, competition, media, and economics, the paper addresses some of the problems within the system and puts forward suggestions for possible solutions.]]>
