]]> Recognizing that archaeological data can offer valuable contributions to bioregional study in a given area, this report sets out to provide an archaeological master plan to aid in identifying, interpreting, and preserving the prehistoric archaeological resources in the vicinity of Haliburton.

A general overview of the evolution of prehistoric cultures in Ontario is followed by specific focus on those cultures believed to be in Haliburton County. The report looks at possible threats to heritage sites through development and water levels in the Trent-Severn Waterway as well as the need for heritage legislation in making decisions affecting heritage resources.

]]> The author sets out to bring to light the lives of such women in Haliburton County beginning with a theoretical overview of how women might have participated in the settlement of the area.  The lives of several prominent women in Haliburton County including Edna Garnett Quinn Parrish and Dr. Agnes Jamieson are highlighted.

The second section describes the context for the formation of women's groups in Canadian history and features four groups: the Minden Women's Institute, the Haliburton Women's Institute, the West Guilford Ladies, and Eagle Lake Women.  Using minute books, newspaper articles, and personal communication, the author examines the multitude of functions and purposes behind the organizations of rural women.  The activities of two women's groups functioning in Haliburton County in 1993 are examined and the paper concludes with suggestions for future research possibilities in this area.

]]> Ontario: A Baseline Study Utilizing
Benthic Macroinvertebrates]]> The paper examines the governmental strategies for paper diversion from landfills in place at the time of writing within the context of the government document "Keeping Paper Out of Ontario Landfills: Progress and Action", published in 1993. Locally, the project moves to an assessment of the Fine Paper Recycling Program set up in Haliburton County.

Using the initiatives of reduction, reuse, and recycling, the Ontario government set a goal of reducing waste by 50% by the year 2000. The work of the Waste Reduction Office of the Ministry of Environment and Energy during the early 1990s is outlined, pointing out the successes and barriers to the program. Building on these initiatives, Haliburton County began its own fine paper recycling program and the paper describes the background to this program, its implementation process, and suggests reasons for its eventual demise along with that of the Waste Management Department.  In conclusion, the author suggests areas for future research.
