Instilling the values of bioregionalism can be difficult as it involves changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour. The natural place to start is with the children of our society and the author maintains that camps, if based on positive environmental ethics, can play a very strong role in fostering a child's sense of relationship with the earth and community.
The development of such learning through camp experiences is presented in general terms with reference to the aims of camping associations and environmental philosophers. Specifically, these objectives are looked at in more depth with reference to Camp Allsaw and the work of Sam and Marjorie Hambly as they pursued camping focusing on the principles and practices of ecology and conservation. The camp stresses the bioregional principles of community, the development of a sense of place, and the importance of home as the place to make a difference and its program is presented as an example of how camps can play a crucial role in shaping the desired attributes of bioregionalism.
The purpose of this paper is to recognize the importance of hockey in Canada and within the Haliburton community. A short history of Canadian hockey prefaces a look at community-orientated minor league hockey in general and how hockey serves as an important cultural force in towns and villages across Canada as it forges community relationships and involvement. The history of hockey in Haliburton and the current state of its minor hockey league is outlined. Focusing on the topics of regional disparities, parent involvement, coaching, competition, media, and economics, the paper addresses some of the problems within the system and puts forward suggestions for possible solutions.

As a focus for exploring feminism and bioregionalism, the paper looks at the Women's Emergency House in Haliburton, a shelter for woman suffering abuse which opened in 1995. Organized and operated by volunteers, the House is portrayed as representing activism as the women of Haliburton worked towards ending violence and in turn, created a more peaceful community.
Introducing the work is a discussion of feminist research and the struggle the author felt in bringing together the components of the researcher/community activist relationship. Violence against women is looked at with specific reference to the issues unique to rural communities such as Haliburton and the founding and functioning of the Haliburton Women's Emergency House, based on the Habitat for Humanity model, is outlined. Newspaper clippings dealing with issues surrounding the project are included in an appendix.
