  • Introduction Section
    INTRODUCTION 58 2.5 The Fur Trade along the Ottawa River Through the 17th century, an almost endless stream of men plied the Ottawa River on long and dangerous fur‐gathering expeditions. Their contribution to the fur trade was critical to the survival of New France. The Ottawa River was a route of choice for travel to fur‐harvesting areas, and was considered simply to be an extension of the St. Lawrence. The story of the fur trade along the Ottawa River can and should be told from at least two perspectives: that of the Europeans who crossed the ocean to a foreign land, taking great personal risks in pursuit of adventure and profit, and that of the First Nations Peoples who had been living in the land and using its waterways as trade conduits for several thousand years. The very term “fur trade” only refers to half of this complex relationship. From a European perspective, there was a “fur trade,” since animal (primarily beaver) pelts were the commodity in demand. First Nations groups, on the other hand, were engaged in a trade for needles, thread, clothing, fishing hooks, axes, kettles, steel strike‐a‐lights, glass beads, alcohol, and other goods, mainly utilitarian items of metal (Kennedy 88). A more balanced account of the fur trade10 along the Ottawa River begins with the context in which both trading parties chose to engage in an exchange of goods. 2.5.1 European Demand Change in the Ottawa River region in the 17th and 18th centuries was shaped in large part by European demand for beaver pelts.

  • Blumbergs' List of Canada Corporations Act Non-Profits That
    www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Blumbergs’ List of Canada Corporations Act non-profits that may need to continue to the CNCA By Mark Blumberg (April 28, 2014) The federal government as part of its Open Data initiative provides a complete list of Federal corporations (for-profit and non-profit) in XML format. We thought it might be helpful to look at which Canadian non-profits corporations are still under the old Canada Corporations Act (CCA) and may need to continue under the Canada Not-for profit Corporations Act (CNCA). Background The CNCA was brought into force in 2011 and will replace the Canada Corporations Act (CCA). The CNCA will be of particular interest to Canadian non-profit organization and charities that are incorporated federally under the CCA as they will have to file documents to continue under the CNCA or face dissolution. CCA corporations have until October 17, 2014 to complete the continuance. While the implementation of the CNCA provides a good opportunity for Federal non-profit corporations to assess their governance practices and make improvements, the failure to act may have dire consequences for some organizations. www.canadiancharitylaw.ca A few points to note about the list: 1) Many of these corporations were created a long time ago and have been dormant for many years. For many of them, mandatory dissolution will not have any negative impact and they may actually welcome the closure that dissolution provides. 2) The list contains all names (English, French and Old/New) of corporations. Therefore, although there are 34,000 names there are in fact less actual corporations.
