Your lake]]> Waste Diversion]]> ​
The options that the team explored in Chapter 1 include 1) weighing the items donated, 2) using an average weight and applying it to all donations and 3) associating a weight with a specific volume and quantifying the donations through volume. Chapter 2 makes recommendations for how most donations could be measured by the cubic yard using appropriately sized bins. Chapters 2 and 3 both make recommendations for grant programs related to waste diversion and waste reduction that SIRCH could consider applying to. Also in Chapter 3, student explored examples of existing municipal-thrift partnerships, and what practices could be applied to the SIRCH warehouse. The final chapter is a review of thrifting and thrift stores in Canada.]]>

This research was conducted for the Canning Lake Property Owners’ Association in conjunction with the Trent University Geography Department as an honours project satisfying a degree requirement. The research was conducted at the Minden Land Registry Office through the consultation of the Abstract Index of land titles and the appropriate deeds of ownership. A transition from rural to recreational land-use is evident in the 1950s and 1960s with the initial subdivision of lots into individual properties. It has also become clear that there is a second transition beginning in the 1980s and currently underway where land-use is shifting from recreational to residential uses on properties around Canning Lake as more people are using their “cottage” as their primary residence and where a seasonal operation has been converted into year-round habitation. This research can provide insight into the changing land-uses within the Canning Lake and surrounding area. ]]> Host contact: Mitchell, Jim]]> Department: Geography]]> Community Development]]>


]]> 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.
