"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 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.

Some research has been conducted into this general phenomenon of land-use changes and has concluded that the shift has lasting impacts on the recreational area in question, as well as the surrounding community. Cottages have traditionally been viewed as a symbol of Canadian identity, and as an opportunity to reconnect with nature and the family, however, a new transition is occurring whereby people are using these vacation or recreational areas as permanent dwellings, increasing the property value by providing all the amenities of a primary residence.
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 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

Birch Point Lodge, PineStone Resort, and Hart Lodge are three resorts that are seen to practice bioregionalism, each in their own way. Following a look at the history of tourism and the hospitality industry in general, each resort is described, outlining how it uses the surrounding environment in planning and marketing strategies, and how each works within the parameters of bioregional practice.

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.

While broadly trying to answer the question, ‘what makes housing projects work?’, this paper also seeks to better understand the context in which these projects come into being. There are a number of factors that influence the priorities, process and outcomes of housing projects; research, reflection, and discussion of these factors—both between and within groups seeking to establish housing—can strengthen individual housing projects, and can improve the overall state of housing in Haliburton County. Briefly then, there are no easy answers to the question at hand—only more questions, and the requirement that those interested in housing attempt to better understand the many possible answers to these questions.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"community,Economic Studies,housing,policy,Social and Health Studies",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/c325e2bfeca17ce9627a6216d1ab9123.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0
