An investigation of land-use impacts on water quality and algal communities in the Nottawasaga River and low-order streams of the Nottawasaga Valley Watershed by Massimo Narini A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In The Faculty of Science Applied Bioscience University of Ontario Institute of Technology July 2016 © Massimo Narini, 2016 Abstract The Nottawasaga Valley Watershed (NVW) is a large catchment south of Georgian Bay that drains a primarily agricultural region including one of the largest wetland complexes in Southern Ontario, the Minesing Wetlands (MW). The MW are designated both provincially and internationally significant due to its large area and high biological diversity. Agricultural practices have been a large influence on the Nottawasaga River ecosystem throughout history, but intensification of agricultural demands have put stress on surface water quality across the river network. In order to understand how ecosystem health may be impacted from current agricultural land-use, baseline water quality and phytoplankton data were collected monthly (June-September 2014) over 15 sites across the Nottawasaga River continuum. In addition, first- and second-order streams directly influenced by agricultural land-use runoff were assessed for impacts to surface water quality and periphyton biomass across the NVW. Water quality across the Nottawasaga River exhibited large amounts of variation, with Innisfil Creek having a disproportional influence on suspended sediment related impacts to water quality. Agricultural and urban land-use were positively correlated with many water quality parameters, whereas natural land-use features (i.e. forest, water and wetland land-use) were negatively correlated with many water quality parameters. -

THE CANADIAN HANDBOOK AND TOURIST'S GUIDE. INTRODUCTION. The Nooks and Corners of Canada, and. more especially of the Lower Province, in addition to the interest they awaken as important sources of Commercial and Agricultural wealth, are invested with no ordinary attraction for the Naturalist, the Antiquary, the Historian, and the Tourist in quest of pleasure or of health. We have often wondered why more of the venturesome spirits amongst our transatlantic friends do not tear themselves away, even for a few months, from London fogs, to visit our distant but more favoured clime. How is it that so few, comparatively speaking, come to enjoy the bracing air and bright summer skies of Canada ? With what zest could the enterprising or eccentric among them undertake a ramble, with rod and gun in hand, from Niagara to Labrador, over the Laurentian Chain of Moun- tains, choosing as rallying points, whereat to compare notes, the summit of Cape Eternity in the Saguenay district, and 6 Introduction. -

PREFACE In this admirable book the Rev. Dr. Maclean has done a piece of work of far-reaching significance. The Doctor is well fitted by training, experience, knowledge and sym- pathy to do this work and has done it in a manner which fully vindicates his claim to all these qualifications. Our beloved Canada is just emerging into a vigorous consciousness of nationhood and is showing herself worthy of the best ideals in her conception of what the hig'hest nationality really involves. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the young of this young nation thrilled with a new sense of power, and conscious of a new place in the activities of the world, should understand thoroughly those factors and forces which have so strikingly combined to give us our present place of prominence. -

Minesing Reeds the Friends of Minesing Wetlands Newsletter
Minesing Reeds The Friends of Minesing Wetlands Newsletter Volume 28 Winter 2007 A Change of Climate The year of 2007 has begun in a heat wave without snow. This has already impacted many recreational-based businesses and may affect the winter outings that Friends of Minesing Wetlands has scheduled. The Gore Foundation is promoting the film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” which is recommended viewing for its perspective on climate change. A different take on climate is the positive climate of partnerships and also the revitalization of our directorship that has occurred over this past year. FOMW’s efforts have been focused on strengthening partnerships to initiate major projects and improve or sustain existing ones. The Nottawasaga Look Out has required numerous presentations by Byron Wesson and Harold Parker to establish financial support for Phase 1 from Rotary Clubs (Barrie, Barrie-Kempenfelt, Barrie Huronia), County of Simcoe, Township of Springwater, and the Tri-Council which includes the Beausoleil First Nation, the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation and the Chippewas of Mnjikaning First Nation. Initial discussion with the Ganaraska Trail Organization and the Nine Mile Portage Group are in order to pursue a linked trail system between Fort Willow and the Nottawasaga Look Out. The Brereton Field Naturalists will be assisting FOMW on the Heronry Snowshoe Trip on February 10th (with favourable climate conditions). I am extremely pleased with the new climate at our last Directors’ meeting. We have a number of new faces with various backgrounds and much-needed enthusiasm for our future endeavours. I hope to see you at one of our 2007 events, Lynn Brennan KEEPING YOU INFORMED In December, the local community came together to celebrate the life of life-long outdoorsman, John Mayer. -

MAGYAR NYELVŐR 142. ÉVF. * 2018. ÁPRILIS–JÚNIUS * 2. SZÁM Dayka Gábornak Aorthographia címet kapott, kéziratban fennmaradt magyar nyelvű, nyelvészeti jellegű írásáról 1. Bevezetés. A tervem az, hogy a nyelvtudomány-történet keretében bemutas- sam a mindössze huszonnyolc évet élt, sajátos hangú 18. századi költőnek, Dayka Gábornak a kéziratban fennmaradt nyelvtani, egyáltalán nyelvészeti irányultsá- gú munkáit. A sorrendet illetően a Dayka-kutatáshoz alapot nyújtó Dayka Gábor Összes Művei című kötetet követem (az adatait l. DGÖM). Ez a kötet egyébként tartalmazza Dayka Gábornak – költői és prózai alkotásain kívül – a következő nyelvtani, nyelvészeti jellegű írásait: „Grammatikák és grammatikai jegyzetek: 1. Magyar nyelvű grammatikai tárgyú írások: a) Aorthographia és b) Grammati- kai feljegyzések. – 2. Proludium in Institutiones Linguae Hungaricae. – 3. Ternio Grammaticae Hungaricae 1794” (DGÖM 7). Meg kell jegyeznem, hogy bár e munkáknak se a pontos keletkezési idejét, se egymás utáni következésük sor- rendjét nem lehetett bizonyítottan megállapítani, a DGÖM-ben alkalmazott és idézett sorrend látszik logikusnak és követendőnek. A kötet tartalmazza az ere- deti szövegeken kívül – ha idegen nyelvűek – azok fordítását is, továbbá minden szöveg után a széles körű rálátással megírt jegyzeteket, amelyek megemlékeztek a kéziratról, az illető szöveg megjelenéséről, valamint közölnek szövegkritikát, és „Magyarázatok” címen tárgyalják az illető mű keletkezés- és fogadástörténetét, valamint közölnek számos fogalmat, jelenséget megvilágító megjegyzést. Egyéb- ként a filológusi feldolgozást a lehetséges teljességre, a rendszerességre, a minden lényeges kérdésnek az utánajárására, a logikus felépítésre, a pontosságra, valamint a világos megfogalmazásra való törekvés jellemzi (l. részletesen: DGÖM 64–9). Elöljáróban még szólok több éve tartó Dayka-kutatásaim első eredményé- ről, a Mi vitte Dayka Gábort, a költőt a nyelvtanírás, egyáltalán a nyelvtudomány felé? című tanulmányról (Szathmári 2016). -
