A literature review of apprenticeship programming both local and far-reaching introduces the subject and is followed by a detailed description of the research methodology employed. Results are presented organized around a demographic profile, youth perceptions of trades, and possible barriers to programming. Details of services and programs available to youth interested in apprenticeships are documented. A discussion of results and recommendations both for youth and community conclude the paper.]]> Host contact: Babbs, Trevor]]> Department: Geography]]> Sustainable Waste Management]]> Host contact: Chivers, Sally]]> Department: Geography]]> Haliburton County

Random waste audits were conducted at the Maple Lake and Hawk Lake sites and fifty surveys were randomly handed out. As well, in-depth interviews were conducted at each site with users and attendants.

Findings are indicated and recommendations made aimed at educating the public about the issues of recycling.]]> Host contact: Hicks, Jim]]> Department: International Development Studies]]> Envrionmental Studies]]> Host contacts: Morris, Malcolm; Ross, Heather]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Fisheries

In fact, fish are one of the most heavily monitored resources in Canada to ensure that population numbers are not decimated. To properly manage its water bodies and fish populations, Ontario is divided into twenty fishery management zones of different sizes according to the number of water bodies and the human population density – Muskoka is in zone 15. This beauty and abundance of water systems has made it a popular destination for tourism and recreational fishing - one of the larger industries in the area and a significant source of income. Placing an exact dollar value on the economic impacts of recreational fishing in an area is an incredibly difficult task. There are numerous factors that must be considered when trying to come up with an approximate figure as the fishing industry encompasses much more than the cost of a rod and reel. This report will attempt to place an approximate figure off the economic significance of recreational fishing in Muskoka. To do so, the economic factors and values of recreational fishing, the benefits of healthy waterways, native aquatic biodiversity and healthy habitats for the key fish species in the area will all be examined.

This paper presents background information on wetland ecology and preservation as a lead-in to looking at the important considerations behind the construction of such a boardwalk. These include location and design in terms of educational opportunities, accessibility, environmental impacts, physical feasibility, as well as government guidelines and costs related to the undertaking.]]> Host contact: Walker, Dale]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies ]]>
