From the number of women who are involved in a variety of different activities within their communities, this paper shows that, in Haliburton, as in many other communities cited, women play a central role throughout the community. We see this not only in the number of extensions women make into the community but also that the women who work in these areas of social service work within the community as well.
In many ways, the activities these women become involved with are extensions of their more traditional roles as wives, mothers, and employees. Simply becoming involved in any avenue assists in challenging these traditional roles in a very positive way.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"community,Cultural Studies,Economic Studies,women",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/f32f81d56e2cab84148974af2fcda776.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Recognizing that there has been a growth in demand for Haliburton as a popular tourist area and that this results in some positive economic implications as well as posing some environmental, social, and economic problems, the author suggests that there is a need for proactive management strategies to cope with such growth. The vision of a bioregional analysis of the relationship between tourism and the geography of the area is put forth as the most desirable way to manage this complex issue.
Such expansion in tourism took place at an earlier date in Muskoka, and by comparing the development of tourism in Muskoka with that of Haliburton, the paper presents similarities in expansion and points out some of the environmental pitfalls that might be avoided with careful management. Community efforts are underway to promote Haliburton as a year-round spot to visit and this would help reduce the negative impacts of seasonal economies. Constraints on tourism and land use conflicts with respect to cottagers as well as environmental concerns are studied. The paper concludes with a look at tourism potential in upcoming years.

The research within this report highlights there factors and is specific to one small hamlet in Haliburton County. The hamlet in the study is Gooderham, which, like many other small rural hamlets, originally developed because of the resource industry. The extraction of resources created a need for services because of the large number of people the industry employed. The services tended to develop in areas that had the most appropriate physical features and in areas that were close to the resource extraction sites. Gooderham developed in Glamorgan township along the Monck road towards the end of the 19th century. It grew just south of Pine Lake because of a great location for a water powered mill. The research examines how Gooderham has changed to a service based economy from it's early days as a resources based economy. Gooderham provided many services during the resources extraction time period but the services that developed were geared towards a resource based economy. Today, the residents of Gooderham no longer rely on the same services. Today, cottagers, commuters, and retirees make up the population of Gooderham and modern services include home renovation, communications (phone, internet), road works, plumbing, electrical, heating, contracted service work, home building companies, etc. Many of these services are non-local but still contribute a great deal to the economy of Gooderham.

Methodology steps are outlined, survey results are presented for each question category, and suggestions are made for further research.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"camps,Economic Studies,food,industry,Social and Health Studies",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/74b933ed83bea54887b972789151501e.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

From a look at the historical events surrounding the building of the Victoria Railway in the 1870s to the tearing up of the tracks in 1983 and 1984, the author moves on to a discussion of the Rails-to-Trails movement in general, outlining potential benefits associated with such a conversion in Haliburton. Such an initiative is presented in the context of several qualities integral to bioregionalism: the principles of bioregional economies, the actualization of ecological principles through protected spaces, and the regeneration of culture and community.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"community,Cultural Studies,Economic Studies,environment,railways,tourism,trails",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/94a7f4f620a0e0f1165b8714211ecfe2.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0
"Planning for Sustainability in the Haliburton Bioregions: Towards Incorporating Local Interests in Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development into Ontario Land-Use Legislation Reforms","Andree, Peter",,"Wadland, John; Whillans, Tom
Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies",TPB-532,1992,"U-Links Office and online","Haliburton County","Planning for sustainable economic development","Presents the prelimary proposals of the Commission on Development Planning and Reform in Ontario regarding cottage country issues and the feedback from environmentalists and the Haliburton County Planner.","There is an interest in the Haliburton bioregions for environmentally sustainable economic development, particularly in regards to further tourist and cottage development. The mandate of the Commission on Planning and Development Reform in Ontario is providing an opportunity for these interests to be incorporated into land use-affecting provincial legislation. This discussion paper presents the Commission’s preliminary proposals regarding cottage country issues and some initial responses to these proposals by environmentalists and the Haliburton County Planner. It is concluded that the Commission is taking some bold steps towards incorporating the principle of ‘sustainability’ into the planning process, but that only more comprehensive changes, and even long-term value change, is likely to make the concept viable in the Haliburton bioregions. There are three sections of this report which are included for the sake of providing background information. Readers familiar with the state of the present planning process in Ontario, its problems and omissions, may want to pass over the sections entitled ‘The Legal Framework’, ‘The problem’, and ‘Principles of Sustainable Land-Use Planning’. This paper is a contribution towards the ‘bioregional’ literature of the Haliburton Highlands in that it seeks to present an understanding of how an ‘outside’ body of law that actually affects these natural and human communities can be improved to more closely meet the needs of the local bioregion; economic and environmental.

The research was conducted over the 2003-2004 academic year and begins with a literature review of employment opportunities offered on an international, national, provincial, and county scale. Primary research, collected through telephone surveys with local employers, sets out to determine: what employers know about apprentice programs in the trades, which businesses currently offer such opportunities, what barriers exist to such programming, and what employers are looking for in apprenticeship training. Results are presented and analyzed and recommendations proposed to better facilitate such training programs.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"apprenticeship,Economic Studies,employment,Social and Health Studies,social determinants,youth",,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

In Part Two, the logging of the pine forests in Haliburton in the 1850s is outlined with specific reference to the role of government in this expansion of logging and settlement into the area and the story of the Canadian Land and Emigration Company with its goal of promoting and selling lots for settlement. In less than 30 years, the land was virtually depleted of this valuable resource with little interest being shown by government in reforestation efforts until 1913 when the report titled the Trent Watershed Survey presented the devastation of the land and recommended solutions. The conclusion to the paper proposes a look at the role society's structure and values play in such environmental catastrophes and presents suggestions for further research.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Cultural Studies,Economic Studies,Environment Studies,environmental impacts,history,logging",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/07641d67f25631ff03267610fe0f5e7c.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

This paper traces the history of the ""Chemical"" as it is often referred to by long-time residents, and its effects on the local landscape, both human and natural.
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.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Cultural Studies,Donald Chemical Plant,Economic Studies,environment,Environment Studies,industry,local history",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/d36339f7965439e449fc5b6be92fb481.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0
