Abstract Developing Crown Land in Northern Ontario for the Purposes of Adventure and Nature Tourism Prepared in partid fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Design: Planning. Supervisor: Professor Theresa Baxter Over the last fifty years the world has seen dramatic changes in the way people travel from one place to another. In fact, it is not only the manner of travel that has changed but so too the destinations, the reasons, and the frequency. From this change a contemporary form of travel that espouses a deep respect for the people. places, and things being visited has evolved with specialized foci on conservation, the respectful inclusion of local people in the planning process, and natural environments. This type of travel is known as ecotourism and encompasses subsets such as adventure and nature tourism. Canada, and more specific to this report, Ontario, inherently offer tremendous opportunities to seek out such travel, pmticularly throughout their vast northern lands. It is the purpose of this Masters Degree Project to determine the potential for expanding adventure and nature tourism in Northern Ontario. Potential will be discussed in context OF: the degree of interest shown by the provincial government and its various ministries; an inventory of applicable adventure and nature resources; the regulations pertaining to land development for tourism facilities; and possible development constraints. These objectives will be accomplished using a variety of tools including: literature surveys, personal communications, a case study, map and air photo interpretation, and field observations. Recommendations are proposed relating to such issues as: adventure and nature tourism inventories of provincial and national parks, and private sector facilities; recognition of adventure and nature tourism in policy documents and initiatives; reductions in pollution; adventure and nature tourism inventories of all Crown Land; the need for full environmental impact assessment in tourism facility development; and distinguishing consumptive and non-consumptive tourism facilities. Key words: ecotourism, adventure and nature tourism, wilderness planning, land planning, Crown Land development.

October 25, 2003 REVISED FEBRUARY 15, 2004 2.26586 RECEIVED FEB 1 9 GEOSCIENCE ASSESSMENT j OFFICE—- _ ., 42C02NE2003 2.26586 LECLAIRE 010 Introduction This report covers the work done during the summer and fall of 2003 on the 80 hectar property claim number 1235586. Two 6 claim units were staked November 17 and 18, 2001. Following a declaration from the mining recorder to extend the claim block to enclose the full one square kilometre available in Leclaire township in Sault Ste Marie district, claim map G2782. Mineral claim staking in this township was originally under the control of Algoma Central Railway and subsequently by Wagner Forest Services except for a few claim blocks that predated the ACR agreement. One of these blocks that straddles the Magpie River is Crown Land with mineral rights administered by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. The claim block was staked in the name of John Buckle, prospecting license # C39049, client number^ 13252 . The claims were subsequently transferred to Oasis Diamond Exploration the current claim holder. My first visit to the property was prior to staking on November 16, 2001. On this visit I recognized mafic to intermediate breccia on an outcrop in the Magpie River with a field assistant Mr. Constantine Foussekis. The property was subsequently staked the following two days and reconnaissance samples were collected for examination. On May 6, 2003 I revisited with Mr. Nicolas Pedafironimos of Oasis Diamond exploration. On this visit prospecting and geological mapping of the outcropping peninsula and the opposite coastline on the east shore of the Magpie River.

CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

Port Arthur, Ontario December l, 1958. : -© O - r\. # ;©-V SUMMARY The Upper Magpie River Acea includes the south easterly section of a belt of northeasterly trending volcanic and sedimentary rooks of early Precambrian age. This belt in general occupies the drainage basin of the Kabinakagami River* The area lies some 30 miles northeasterly from White River, Ontario. Volcanic agglomerates are enclosed by inter- banded flows and tuffs which are in turn flanked by sedimentary quartz-biotile gneisses. Oranite gneiss bounds these rooks *.o the southeast and southwest. Within the central and southeasterly portion of the map area all members have been folded into a steeply plunging syncline with axial plane trend ing southeasterly such that it protrudes from the main belt. Two complementary fault planes striking northeast and northwest intersect near the centre of the area. Both show horizontal displacement. A fsw minor occurrences of metallic mineralization were found bat none w.*s indicative of economic possibilities. t*i*©..:--VJi©5&-© 1.. **©.-©-." fclfr-©v GEOLOGY OF THE UPPER MAGPIE RIVER AREA ALGOMA DISTRICT, ONTARIO LOCATION AM) ACCESS The Upper Magpie River Area lies some 30 miles northeast of White River station on the Canadian Pacific Railway from where it is most readily reached by air transportation. An alternative route is by canoe from Swanson siding on the Canadian Pacific Railway eight miles west of Franz Station. This route, also of some 30 miles, follows up through Esnagi Lake thence west into Mosambik Lake and into the Magpie River.

Abstract There is existing tension within many Aboriginal communities between economic development and preservation of traditional lands for the continued practice of traditional activities. The "duty to consult" doctrine has has become an important mechanism by which these concerns were identified and addressed (when possible) prior to development. This is a legal requirement that is rooted in the Constitution Act (1982) and subsequent legal case law that has further defined and outlined requirements under this obligation. This article describes the process that was carried out to advance the proposed Kabinakagami River Hydro Project Class Environmental Assessment in Northern Ontario, Canada with an emphasis on the approach to Aboriginal consultation.

  • Algoma Ore: the Helen and Magpie Iron Mines by James Shefchik
    Algoma Ore: The Helen and Magpie Iron Mines By James Shefchik The Helen and Magpie mines are situated to the north, northeast of Wawa, Ontario inland from the eastern shore of Lake Superior, about 279 km north of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontatio. The Helen mine site is roughly 6 km (about 4 miles) from Wawa up Mine Road. The Magpie mine is situated up the Michipicoten River about 24 km (15 miles) from Wawa. The Magpie Mine site is accessible via boat from the Steephill Falls dam, with a short overland traverse to the mine site or alternatively via bush road. The discovery and development of the Helen and Magpie mines not only fueled a steel industry in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, it also spurred the development of a number of hydroelectric power projects in Sault Sainte Marie and Wawa. High grade iron ore as well as beneficiated or refned lower grade ores from these mines furnished most of the native ore that fed Canadian production of steel during the frst two decades of the 1900s. The mines each supported small company towns for workers and families. In the 1950s, Wawa became an established village, mostly populated by individuals involved in the iron industry. The mines not only fueled the Algoma Steel plant and supporting industries at the Soo, operations also involved a number of hoists or lifts, crushers, an aerial tramway, firing plant, rail shipping, and Great Lakes ore freight. The Helen and Magpie mines helped to feed the industrialization of northern Ontario. An initial gold rush in the area during the late 19th century brought prospectors looking for claims to stake.
