This paper focuses on the complexities of settlement morphology in the Canning Lake region near Minden, Ontario. The specific research focus is the lot lineage of lots fourteen and fifteen located within the boundaries of concession fourteen in Snowden Township. The study was conducted by tracing property history using the abstract property indexes located in the Land Registry Office in Minden. The registry analysis conducted, followed the lineage of a sixteen acre lot purchased by James Roy Mitchell on 11 June 1951 which is located on lot fourteen, as well as a sixteen and one-third lot purchased by Ilni Saarimaki on 15 November 1929. The result of this study was that the property purchased by James Roy Mitchell has been divided numerous times its purchase and we now see eleven lots currently located with the original boundaries. Also, the property purchased by Ilmi Saarimaki has undergone drastic change and been divided into eight located on three lots. After careful analysis of the research findings, it is evident that the role of community among cottagers in the Canning Lake are is very important. The development of this area has followed a family oriented construction, which is evident through the transfer of many of the properties from generation to generation. By focusing on lot specific areas around the lake the complex micro-level morphology of these areas can be seen.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Canning Lake,Cultural Studies,development,lakes,land use",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/6ae140c9b3c0e63e8dedbd336cd093db.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Value of the arts to the county
",,"This paper briefly examines the Haliburton arts community and its history. A phone survey was used to determine the economic viability of the arts in Haliburton County. 40 artists were surveyed and asked 19 questions to document their perceptions regarding the arts community and their place in it. Recommendations were then made aimed at strengthening the arts sector.
Although Paris is known for its very influential and attractive art scene, it is not the only art Mecca able to attract artists from all over. Haliburton today is home to a thriving arts community working in a wide range of media. These include drawing and painting, sculpture, stone carving, pottery, blacksmithing, quilting, weaving, rug making, metal work, jewelry, woodworking, leatherwork, print-making, stained glass, basket making, multi-media, commercial art, pen and ink, and photography just to name a handful.
There is indeed a need to strengthen the arts community to make it an even better and more viable economic contributor. In Haliburton, the overall potential for artists to find a ""niche"" so to speak is very encouraging as the respondents of the surveys indicate.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"artists,arts,crafts,Cultural Studies,Economic Studies,economy,history",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/8abd35e804b2c5d1ac85aed160a4dbf3.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

As a result, this paper aims to provide general background information to help the program committee make informed, specific decisions regarding the incorporation of art on local trails systems and help initiate a partnership between Haliburton Highlands Trails and Tours Network and the Arts community. The primary question posed was, “What is the potential for incorporating art on trails in Haliburton County?” with the following sub-questions: What other communities have incorporated art on trails? What is the potential for having art on trails in Haliburton County in terms of pre-existing or potential attributes in the area? What are some of the potential benefits and challenges of having art on trails?
Research findings show that there are many communities that have incorporated art on trails and that it remains a more recent phenomenon for larger project scales. There also proves to be limited available resources and information surrounding the success and challenges that these communities have faced while initiating the projects. As illustrated within this paper, Haliburton County has extensive trails systems, a substantial art community, a good start to the networking needed to make such a venture possible and a successful example of the incorporation of art on trails in their very own community.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"arts,Cultural Studies,recreation,tourism,trails",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/706c20dbca90d464d710209c33cb4465.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

This project seeks out specific recommendations for Minden Hills in establishing and maintaining a successful, effective, and long lasting organization. The project uses a mixed methods approach to investigation. A literature and policy review reveals that open lines of communication between committee and council is vital and can be achieved by having a council member sit on the committee. Also, having a council member sit on the committee helps to ensure a positive relationship between committee and council and is another major asset to maintaining a successful municipal heritage committee. By categorizing and sorting the municipal heritage committees of Ontario, the importance of a concise, well-defined, and accurately reflecting name becomes evident. This should help people understand what the municipal heritage committee does at a glance and with little contemplation. Through personal observation and information provided by the Minden Hills Heritage Walking tour, the region should be taken seriously as a heritage community. Proper representation of the community’s heritage can be achieved through a municipal heritage committee. Finally, interviews with existing municipal heritage committee representatives confirm that communication between council and committee, and ultimately the community, is one of the most effective means to a successful and long lasting municipal heritage committee. Some difficulty came when trying to recruit interviewees from existing MHCs. This resulted in candidates apart from my first choice. Though disheartening, this did not impact the project significantly since the main focus of the 5 interviews was to gain evidence of both successful and unsuccessful MHC stories in order to refine the recommendations made to Minden Hills. The interviews conducted during this project produced some valuable information. The main points emerging from the interviews are 1) that a MHC must co-operate with Council and not opposed to it, 2) that clear flowing communication between MHC, Council and the Community is maintained, and 3) that support from the community and Council is essential in the establishment of a MHC","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"community,Cultural Studies,heritage,heritage buildings,local history,rural communities",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/a0c013e1187f9b98443ff9dffaeda01e.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

For at least nine decades, three generations of the family kept the receipts from all their purchases and the author spent some time sifting through these receipts and cataloguing them into chronological and theme-related categories. From this, a picture of the day-to-day life of the family, a sense of their relationship to their local community, their networking with the larger world outside, and the agencies which facilitated the bridging of these two emerged. This paper outlines the process involved and presents a snapshot of the life of this family gleaned from the receipts.

It proposes that museums play an important part within the framework of bioregionalism in raising the consciousness of a community to its locale or region or life place.
As a preface to an in-depth look at the three area museums, the paper outlines the evolution of museums as an expression of community from Greek and Roman times to the present. It goes on to describe the three museums in terms of their history, collections, management, programming, and some of the problems they are facing. Suggestions for an enhanced role to be played by community musuems are presented along with possibilities for future research.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Cultural Studies,heritage,local history,museums,tourism",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/a6ef8f94236768e6c181d0b89ba5c9ee.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Historically, the movement of Haliburton residents has been in constant fluctuation with its economic situation. Its position on the global map has also had an effect on the process of globalization in the bioregion. It is no longer on major trading routes, and does not depend on outside cities for its independence and self-determination as a community. Haliburton never needed a major upheaval of global economic systems in order to create new alternatives to living. Haliburton has flexibility in its economic structure and its population growth. Residents create their own initiatives and the energy of the community helps to support projects and to make them sustainable.
All of these aspects and more cited in the research paper make Haliburton an ideal niche for sustainable alternatives to the shaky global economic structures that are presently in place.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Cultural Studies,Economic Studies,economy,globalisation,sustainability",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/64a02bfaba34f6471db585a36e09f9b0.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Hoping to capture a sense of the human component of Haliburton in order to better facilitate future communication between the students of Trent University and the Haliburton community, the author set out to videotape interviews with selected permanent residents.
A series of questions were presented centering on three main subject areas: 1) perceptions of the strengths of their community 2) changes which have been perceived over time and 3) hopes and aspirations for the future of Haliburton County.
With the assistance of students from Haliburton Highlands Secondary School, interviews with 19 people were conducted and videotaped. The sampling was based on people whose families had been in the County for two or more generations, were from various parts of the County, represented a variety of age groups, and were representative of less visible members of the community. The paper includes a critique of the project and suggestions for future work in this area as well as an index to the raw video footage.
