The goal for this project was to undertake new curriculum development for grades four and eight, with an emphasis on the geography curriculum. This curriculum is centred on a tour to the Haliburton Hatchery. As well, the host requested a revising and enhancing of the existing lesson plan for Grade 10 Academic Science. The development of the teaching packages incorporating Treatment Wetland technology into the existing education curriculum was essential to promoting green technologies and expanding the community involvement of Haliburton.]]> Host contact: Wooton, Brent]]> Department: Geography]]> Host contact: Wooton, Brent]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> The influences of water quality on the value of waterfront properties.

The majority of policy created to deal with these episodic acidification events has been based on research concerning the deposition of anthropogenic sulfates and nitrates. However, this study suggests that point source emissions from snowmobiles can also contribute to sulfate concentrations in the snow pack that may elevate the intensity of the acidification events during the spring thaw. Critical loads were calculated for the study lakes in the Haliburton Forests and Wildlife Reserve Ltd. using the Steady-State Water Chemistry Model. From these calculations and the analysis of snow samples it was determined that current inputs of acidifying compounds have concentrations just below the critical limits for biota in the lakes. It is therefore suggested that the number of snowmobile trail passes sold per day remain at 100 and trails across lakes be limited where possible. It is also recommended that further study take place on an increased number of lakes to determine differences in acid sensitivity and critical loads, while monitoring of both deposition and point source emissions continue.]]> Host contact: Bisset, Jody]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Host contact: Shikaze, Sue]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]>

Recommendations include fostering community awareness and responsibility, along with a cohesive team mentality amongst health care providers as this is necessary to enable seniors to live independently in the community while maintaining a decent quality of life. This is also an extremely cost effective manner for Community Care to promote the availability of their services to seniors and their caregivers in Haliburton County. ]]> Host contact: Elia, Hilary]]> Department: Nursing]]> Environmental Studies]]>
The project looks at: 1) existing methodology that can facilitate community engagement with the lake plan, 2) methods that can be used to effectively exchange feedback between a community and a committee, and 3) publication and distribution strategies the committee could use to further the community engagement plan.

This report contains an annotated bibliography, summarizing sources used during the research for the children’s resource. In addition, an electronic copy of the product has been included. This graphic has the potential to be used at Water Festivals across the province. ]]> Host contact: Clark, Bev]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Host contact: Foster, Mieke]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Commercial and industrial recycling

Information was obtained through the use of a survey conducted with 21 businesses, one service provider and several landfill attendants.

The responses by the interviewees are included in the report and suggestions to promote more diversion of materials from landfill are provided.]]> Host contact: Hopkings, Virginia]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Host contact: Whittaker, Rick]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]>
Treatment of such people within institutions and the terminology used in describing mental disabilities are looked at as well as the role of advocacy groups and government in the handling and treatment of this portion of our society.

Specific references to Haliburton County and the development of the Haliburton County Association for Community Living are found throughout.]]> Host contact: O'Hara, Maureen]]> Department: Gender and Women's Studies]]> Community Development]]>
This research was conducted for the Canning Lake Property Owners’ Association in conjunction with the Trent University Geography Department as an honours project satisfying a degree requirement. The research was conducted at the Minden Land Registry Office through the consultation of the Abstract Index of land titles and the appropriate deeds of ownership. A transition from rural to recreational land-use is evident in the 1950s and 1960s with the initial subdivision of lots into individual properties. It has also become clear that there is a second transition beginning in the 1980s and currently underway where land-use is shifting from recreational to residential uses on properties around Canning Lake as more people are using their “cottage” as their primary residence and where a seasonal operation has been converted into year-round habitation. This research can provide insight into the changing land-uses within the Canning Lake and surrounding area. ]]> Host contact: Mitchell, Jim]]> Department: Geography]]>
