In many ways, the activities these women become involved with are extensions of their more traditional roles as wives, mothers, and employees. Simply becoming involved in any avenue assists in challenging these traditional roles in a very positive way.]]> Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies]]> Monitors the Community Action Plan resulting from the Trends, Opportunities and Priories Report

Hosted by the Township of Minden Hills (Emily Stonehouse) and supervised by IDST faculty Derya Terhan, students gathered and analyzed data from their literature review, a 2019 local community consultation, an online survey and several telephone surveys.

This report was designed to equip the Township of Minden Hills with a foundation for up-to-date research and to suggest initiatives as support for change.

Highlights from the Study:

· The top four factors for the study participants in deciding where to live were Employment, Family Ties, the Physical Environment and Housing;

· 59% of participants felt engaged in the community of Minden Hills and the largest group within that (46%), only felt somewhat engaged;

· Leaving their community to go to high school in Haliburton means young adults in other townships may start feeling disconnected from an early age;

· Recreational programming for young adults was seen as limited, and often geared towards the senior population and during working hours;

· A shortage of evening entertainment activities led to feelings of isolation;

· There is a lack of formal support systems for youth employment in the County;

· Increased internet access was identified by several survey participants in the open-ended questions - as “what is important to this age group is the ability to network easily”;

· While literature findings did not find it to be a significant factor in attracting young adults, study participants felt as though Minden Hill’s natural beauty and rural location had a positive influence in their decision where to live.

Page 35 of the report includes a table of recommendations that the Township of Minden Hills can consider in their strategic planning going forward.]]> Lindsay Dixon]]>
A literature review of apprenticeship programming both local and far-reaching introduces the subject and is followed by a detailed description of the research methodology employed. Results are presented organized around a demographic profile, youth perceptions of trades, and possible barriers to programming. Details of services and programs available to youth interested in apprenticeships are documented. A discussion of results and recommendations both for youth and community conclude the paper.]]> Host contact: Babbs, Trevor]]> Department: Geography]]> Information on financial assistance. careers,, entrepreneurship, job searches, skills development, travel, work experience.
