Abstract
Promoting the theory that, in order to attain long-term economic health, a community must work towards developing ecologically sustainable communities, the paper focuses on bioregionalism as offering helpful guidelines on how to achieve this objective.
The present power structure in our society and the problems that ensue are outlined as a backdrop to a look at ecosystems and bioregions as alternative approaches to planning. The general principles of sustainable living as put forward in bioregional theory are explained, followed by a look at the history of the Otonabee Watershed region and its people in pre-Colonial times.
