Through interviews with producers, the authors present a picture of the maple syrup industry in Haliburton County. Travelling the area, they map out 10 sugarbushes and relate the experiences of the producers with regard to their work, their sense of living on the land, and their perspectives on cooperative efforts and membership in a central organization such as the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association.

The authors' reflections on the sense of community among producers and the economics of the industry conclude the paper.

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.]]>

Emmerson Lumber is considering development of electricity generation at an existing dam on the Drag River in Haliburton. This report performs a cursory examination of two of the biggest issues surrounding the proposed development project: engineering/costs and the possible environmental impacts. It lays the groundwork for a pre-feasibility study, and for further assessments beyond this level.

Topics covered are a description of the planned site, engineering and design, environmental assessment, modification, mitigation, and compensation. General recommendations conclude the report.]]>
