]]> The paper argues for the public health mandate to include the social and economic determinants of health.  It makes recommendations for the incorporation of social and economic determinants of health into the formal Ontario public health mandate.  The report then goes on to demonstrate that the public health units are ready to take the lead in implementing social determinant changes.  Steps to achieve an effective and efficient transition are also provided.

All of these aspects and more cited in the research paper make Haliburton an ideal niche for sustainable alternatives to the shaky global economic structures that are presently in place.]]> Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies]]> Avneet Kamboj, Manpreet Kaur, Kaelyn Welde
]]> Working from the premise that the culture of a community is made up of people interacting in and with their environment, this paper attempts to uncover the spirit of the Haliburton area through community stories, a combination of oral history and storytelling.  The concepts of oral history and storytelling and their validity in shedding light on events is explored leading up to the relating of stories collected by the author in interviews with five long-time residents of Haliburton County.  These stories are presented as both informative and entertaining as they reveal life in the past.

Environmental Studies]]> Seen as a solution to the seasonal economic difficulties of areas such as Haliburton, the development of year-round tourist attractions has received much attention by planners and citizens.  In 1991, many people in Haliburton focused on the development of a "first class, world class Trails and Tours Program" and this paper outlines the work behind such a strategic plan.

Goals and benefits of such a program are presented along with proposed stages in the development and suggested organizational structure.  The main points of the consultant's report are given along with resulting revised perceptions of benefits. Specific barriers to the strategy are noted along with suggestions for a more expanded outlook. The report concludes with ideas for future research on the topic.

The legacy that Andre Lapine left behind was seemingly awe-inspiring. During the twenty years or so that he spent traveling Europe he finished a known 50 paintings. The sheer number of paintings he produced while living in Canada far exceeds that number. Most of his works remain in the hands of private owners. The largest public collection resides at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery in Minden, Ontario. The late Frank Welch donated forty-nine works in all, most of which are oil landscapes. This paper gives a vivid description of the life and works of Andre Lapine.]]> Host contact: Graham, Dianne]]> Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies]]> Geography

Research findings show that there are many communities that have incorporated art on trails and that it remains a more recent phenomenon for larger project scales. There also proves to be limited available resources and information surrounding the success and challenges that these communities have faced while initiating the projects. As illustrated within this paper, Haliburton County has extensive trails systems, a substantial art community, a good start to the networking needed to make such a venture possible and a successful example of the incorporation of art on trails in their very own community.]]> Host contact: Blake, Jim]]> Department: Geography]]>
