Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Working with the objectives of the Haliburton Highlands Bioregional Atlas Project, this paper considers the notion that "roads are inter/intra connections for movement in the life-world, that roads and culture are linked, that roads have an effect on land-use, and that land has an effect on roads and road-use." The paper begins with a chronological and historical analysis of the development of roads and settlement patterns in the Highlands touching on the lumbering industry and the effect of the Canada Land and Emigration Company's program of colonization roads. Working with a series of maps which provide time slices of pre-1860, 1875, 1901, 1913, 1930, 1941, 1964, and 1995, a geographical analysis is presented comparing data on the number of settlements, road density, number of highways, and population existing at each time snapshot. atlas Cultural Studies history roads settlement transportation https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/bc749f3f8ee5e57a37925635f8b316f6.pdf f73d3c7be5b364d863752db171de54d9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Haliburton Highlands is noted for its natural beauty with over 555 named lakes. The focus of this paper is an historical overview of these lakes and rivers within the limits of bioregional theory; how the patterns of settlement and the resource development of the area were determined by these physical attributes. Specifically, the author concentrates on those waterways flowing south, draining into the Trent Water System. These include the lakes and tributaries flowing into the Gull and Burnt Rivers, and Eels Brook. Beginning with a look at native groups within these systems and their use of lakes and rivers for hunting and transportation along with their sense of land stewardship, the paper moves on to the early exploration of the waterways by Europeans as they sought a practical military route between Georgian Bay and Ottawa. With the development of colonization roads, settlement moved forward. The importance of the waterways to the logging industry, which followed, is documented. Concluding that the waterways played a crucial role in the historical development of the region, the paper presents ideas for possible future research.

Haliburton, Minden Abstract A summary of the resource. The paper sets out to verify if indeed there exists a rivalry between the municipalities of Haliburton and Minden, a view held by some in the area. The history of the settlement of the area is outlined as a possible source of such rivalry with different methods of obtaining land and the development of the rail line affecting the type of settler attracted to each area. Some of the social, economic, and political characteristics of the region are looked at as adding to the sense of competition and the specific issues of proposed municipal amalgamation and hospital usage are discussed. Personal reflections representing the senior, middle-aged, and adolescent perspectives round out the debate.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. As a focus for exploring feminism and bioregionalism, the paper looks at the Women's Emergency House in Haliburton, a shelter for woman suffering abuse which opened in 1995. Organized and operated by volunteers, the House is portrayed as representing activism as the women of Haliburton worked towards ending violence and in turn, created a more peaceful community. Introducing the work is a discussion of feminist research and the struggle the author felt in bringing together the components of the researcher/community activist relationship. Violence against women is looked at with specific reference to the issues unique to rural communities such as Haliburton and the founding and functioning of the Haliburton Women's Emergency House, based on the Habitat for Humanity model, is outlined.

The aim of this paper is to reveal the distribution of nine chemical parameters (pH, sulfate, conductivity, alkalinity, calcium, manganese, potassium, aluminum, and dissolved organic carbon) in a number of Haliburton area lakes and determine if any patterns exist in the spatial distribution of these parameters. Of interest also is the examination of how these parameters relate to the distribution of lake trout populations. Data is presented divided into two sets; the Highlands, encompassing the townships of McClintock, Sherborne, Havelock, and Guilford, and the Lowlands, taking in Minden, Dudley, Lutterworth, Glamorgan and Monmouth. Data is presented in a distribution map for each element surveyed followed up with an analysis of the findings based on the geological composition of the study area. Suggestions for future research on lake trout habitat conclude the paper.

Donald, Harcourt, Wilberforce Abstract A summary of the resource. In developing a bioregional consciousness, it is important to understand the historical and present influences in a community as well as the ecology of the area. This paper explores the historical logging practices that led to the present policy of forest use in the Haliburton area and which form the basis of future management. The three towns of Donald, Harcourt and Wilberforce make up the area of study for the paper. An explanation of the ecology of the area provides basic information about tree species and growing conditions. Past treatment of the forest resource helps solidify an understanding of present conditions. Forces influencing logging practices are identified and suggestions are presented regarding future forest policy. Topics for future research around the issues of forest management in the Haliburton region form the conclusion to the paper. ecology Economic Studies Environment Studies forests history logging https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/7c46821b32b177d39fb5e9560d0a3e04.pdf 1580e23dc99147d266371d226705ea15 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Bioregionalism examines our connection with local ecosystems and our relationships with each other. Agriculture is an essential part of this association, as the sale and consumption of locally grown food represent one of the many ways in which communities are directly connected to the land. This paper recognizes the need for additional sustainable food systems in Haliburton County. There is a need for further research into a farmer's market as well as Sustainable Ecological Alternatives for Living (SEAL). Work with SEAL could also lead into the documentation of the accomplishments of Haliburton County's many home gardeners.

Dorset Abstract A summary of the resource. The paper outlines the history of the Dorset Tower from its conception in 1922 through its 1997 season. Beginning with a look at the causes of forest fires and the means of fighting them in the late 19th century and the organization of Ontario into districts to handle these events, the paper moves to a history of the construction of the Dorset Tower network in particular. Personal memories of the Dorset Tower and some of the towermen are included. With the erection of a new tower in 1967, a new age of tourism was begun but when control of the tower was moved to the MNR office in Bracebridge, problems surfaced. Some of these contemporary issues such as vandalism and financing are discussed as well as the work of the community to address and handle them. With the transfer of land to the township in 1997 and plans for the future, a new era was begun for the Tower.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Prefacing a look at the Bobcaygeon Colonization Road and its impact on the opening up of the areas of Haliburton and Minden, the paper presents background on the settlement and colonization of the areas looking at the way both the native population and the settlers considered the land and its use. Colonization roads were those built during the fifteen years preceding Confederation and intended to be links from the lakefront areas to the interior parts of the province.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. The focus of this paper is the Algonquin Golden Lake First Nation land claim being negotiated with the Ontario and Canadian governments at the time of writing. It sets out to provide information about the land claim based on documents from Golden Lake and the two levels of government. The first section outlines the historical basis for the claim and proposes why negotiations with Golden Lake are necessary. In the second section, the claim itself is examined within the context of ongoing negotiations with the governments of Ontario and Canada. The terms of the claim, the chronology of negotiations, what has been agreed upon to date, and some problems with the process are addressed. Finally, the place of third party interests in, and public opinion about, the process are discussed.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Working from the premise that the culture of a community is made up of people interacting in and with their environment, this paper attempts to uncover the spirit of the Haliburton area through community stories, a combination of oral history and storytelling. The concepts of oral history and storytelling and their validity in shedding light on events is explored leading up to the relating of stories collected by the author in interviews with five long-time residents of Haliburton County. These stories are presented as both informative and entertaining as they reveal life in the past. community Cultural Studies local history https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/d504eb67471c7e2a55c4bf114c80891a.pdf da4ef69c4c6b02cdaa8ba1603b394bf3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This is the text of a submission by the author acting as Vice-President and Chair of Land Use Planning Committee for the Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations Incorporated. In it, the Committee presents their concerns to the Government around the issues of planning reform proposed by Bill 20. Four major areas of concern are outlined in the submission and suggestions for amendments put forth. The concerns are: reduced public access to the planning process, minor variance decisions and the right to appeal, official plans criteria, and the restriction of provincial agency appeals to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, thus minimizing the role of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ontario Municipal Board.

The purpose of this project is to examine the issue of providing a southern access road into Algonquin Provincial Park and to determine if there is a perceived need by the Haliburton residents to have such an access road. A discussion of methodology prepares the way for an analysis of secondary research focusing on community interaction and the philosophical views regarding the road. The history of the controversy is examined and arguments both "for" and "against" are outlined. Results of a circulated survey portraying residents' attitudes are included and finally, recommendations are suggested.

Snowdon Park Abstract A summary of the resource. The goal of this project was to record the history of Snowdon Park up to the present, and analyze and apply this knowledge to current and future plans regarding development within and around the park. Information was gained through first-hand recollections of some community members who had grown up in the area. The cultural history of the park land beginning with native peoples and moving along through settlement times is outlined ending with the deeding of the land to Snowdon Township in the mid '70s. Attempts to develop the area as park land and the difficulties encountered are highlighted, efforts which culminated in the work of the Haliburton Field Naturalists to promote and maintain the area as a valuable wetland resource. The natural history of the park area with its varied animal and plant life is presented in the context of a discussion of the importance of wetland conservation both generally and in Snowdon Park. Possibilities for future development of this valuable resource conclude the paper.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. Public road allowances have been provided in Ontario through the original township surveys prepared during the last century. A network of public road allowances was laid out establishing lots which could be made available through either sales or free grants to encourage settlement by immigrants. In certain parts of Ontario, the survey system involved establishing shoreline road allowances on lakes and rivers. These played an important part in the development of the waterways. The paper reviews the evolution of the shore road allowance issue in Haliburton County and discusses the ownership and planning issues which have changed over time in response to changing provincial policy regarding the transfer of these allowances from public to private ownership.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. In the 1990s the Bark Lake Leadership Centre served as a facility which provided progressive leadership development for youth and adults residing primarily in Ontario. Located on Highway 503, the Centre was approximately 30 minutes from Haliburton. The site and activities of Bark Lake as a distinct entity and as an active contributor in the Haliburton Highlands clearly placed it as a unique facility in the Haliburton Highlands bioregion. The paper discusses the historical development of the facility and examines its role in the social, leadership skill development, environmental, and economic sectors of the region concluding that it was an important source of education on bioregionalism to the residents of Ontario.

Haliburton County Abstract A summary of the resource. The paper focuses on the growing and/or foraging of regional plants and the relationship of these activities to the ecological health of an area, one in which the human culture and natural environment are vital and in balance. Beginning with an overview of bioregionalism, the author moves on to take an historical look at interactions with the land in the Haliburton area. The bulk of the paper reports on the author's interviews with eight community members who are involved in growing and/or foraging natural plants and their philosophies of living on and with the land. A list of regional plants found and used by those interviewed forms an appendix to the paper. environment Environment Studies plants resources
