In 1941, Mary Northway and Flora Morrison purchased Windy Pine, a property with 1700 feet of shoreline on Kushog Lake in Haliburton County where the two women lived and entertained, surrounded by the natural world they loved. From here they ran a girls' canoe tripping camp and it was at Windy Pine that may people associated with Trent University became friends and attended as visitors, often assisting with maintenance work. In 1982, after Flora's death, Mary donated Windy Pine to the University along with an endowment fund for its maintenance. It is still being used for meetings and retreats for students, staff, and faculty. Further details of Mary's involvement with camping and the study of children conclude the paper.]]> Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies]]> Haliburton County, Algonquin Park

The proposed hydropower development would be run-of-the-river, resulting in much less environmental impact in comparison to other hydropower developments. This report lists the numerous approvals required from the MNRF, DFO, MOE, and the Municipality following acts such as the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act, Fisheries Act, etc.

Based on successes from other Micro-hydro dam projects, it is recommended that public participation in key to process, without proper consultations the environmental assessment is not effective.]]> Host contact: Emmerson, Kim]]> Department: Environmental and Resource Science/Studies]]> Report discusses community concerns, ie flood hazard, tourism & recreation, downtown beautification, downtown commerce.

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]]>
Not much research has been done on Main Street in this time period, which by many accounts has been regarded as Minden's heyday. The small business district along Main Street occupies the length of approximately one city block and is bordered by natural features at each end. It is a primary place of business and therefore, acts as the town's central meeting place. This is a good way to establish a connection to a particular place and build communities; at the same time our needs are met without placing an unnecessarily heavy burden on the land.]]> Report evaluates the industrial mineral, rare element, and building stone potential of the area. Includes maps.

]]> 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.
