The Italian Colony at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
The Italian Colony at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario By Gerolamo Moroni [A report written by the Italian royal Attaché of Immigration, Girolamo Moroni, stationed at Montréal, Québec, Canada. The report was published in the Bolletino dell’Emigrazione in 1914. The Italian government published the Bolletino between 1907 and 1927 to show prospective immigrants what to expect throughout the world if they decided to immigrate. This report provides an indepth look into the Italian community at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and the social and work conditions facing them. Included in this report are the Magpie and Helen iron mines to the north of Sault Ste. Marie. It is translated and edited by Russell M. Magnaghi.] Sault Ste. Marie is situated in the Algoma District in northern Ontario, between Lakes Huron and Superior. The city has approximately 12,000 inhabitants and including the suburbs of Steelton, Buckley, and Bay View, approximately 18,000. It is a small industrial city, with laborers working on the railroad, steel, paper and mechanized sawmills. The Italian colony is composed of approximately 3,000 permanent residents and between the spring and autumn 600800 seasonal residents. The frst Italians arrived in 1895, but the great part came with the opening of the metallurgy industry in 1902. Our people come from Calabria, The Marches and Abruzzi, and Veneto, and a small number from other parts of the Kingdom [of Italy]. In the Italian colony there are no professionals; only one Italian [Catholic] priest; two contractors overseeing building, excavation and sewerage laborers. The Italians of this place have demonstrated a desire for an Italian physician, who would have small pharmacy, as they do not have a pharmacy here. -

Industrial Algoma and the Myth of Wilderness: Algoma Landscapes and the Emergence of the Group of Seven, 1918-1920
INDUSTRIAL ALGOMA AND THE MYTH OF WILDERNESS: ALGOMA LANDSCAPES AND THE EMERGENCE OF THE GROUP OF SEVEN, 1918-1920 by Allan John Fletcher B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1977 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS ART HISTORY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard the University of British Columbia November, v 1989 © Allan Fletcher, 1989 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date QCTOGCfr <3, tiff- DE-6 (2/88) ii ABSTRACT In the summer of 1988, casting around for a thesis topic, I chanced on some photographs which stunned me. They were pictures of various sites in the Algoma territory, a region which up to that time I, like many Canadians, knew only from idyllic paintings by J. E. H. MacDonald and other members of the Group of Seven. The discrepancy between the two sets of images was startling. What the camera revealed: railyards, dockyards, cities and towns, dammed rivers, cavernous mines, mountains of slag, razed forests, huge smelters and gigantic milling operations was in striking contrast to the untouched northern wilderness depicted in works like The? Solemn Land. -

Mr. Sportsman, ever stood on the edge of a big "clearing" and mourned the vanishing H forests and the wild life they sheltered? Have you ever sat on the banks of a rapid little river where. perhaps. in days that are gone. you have cast your fly for the speckled beauties that were a-leap in its clear, cool waters-but which waters now. alas. have been harnessed to the turbine and the dynamo? Or. perhaps. vou have retraced your ste'ps toward wooded shores and a lonely highland lake. where. in the past. the brooding silences and "Nature Unspoiled" had ministered to your tired body and drooping spirit-only to find there the march of travel and the touch of civilization which travel brings. But, while "Nature Unspoiled" is constantly retreating, there are still "wilds where the moose and caribou roam;" there are still rollicking streams in whose laughing waters are fish unnumbered; and tucked away in the solitudes are lakes, large and small, deep. -
