Land Quality on Reserves in Ontario: Description and Implications for Land Tenure Land Quality on Reserves in Ontario: Description and Implications for Land Tenure by Elsie Richmond A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Elsie Richmond, September 2020 ABSTRACT LAND QUALITY ON RESERVES IN ONTARIO: DESCRIPTION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR LAND TENURE Elsie Richmond Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 B. James Deaton My research aims to identify whether land quality influences the emergence of the adoption of different patterns of land tenure on First Nations Reserves. My first research question identifies whether there is a difference in the percentage of prime agricultural land on-reserves versus off-reserves in Ontario. My second question tests the theoretically motivated hypothesis that land quality influences the adoption of Certificates of Possession (CP). I identify whether land quality impacts the adoption of the CP system. I find that the off-reserve surveyed area in Ontario has a higher percentage of prime agricultural land than the surveyed reserves in Ontario. I also present a case study of Six Nations of the Grand River to evaluate research question 2. I find that there is a relationship between a parcel’s percentage of prime agricultural land and the adoption of a CP. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to begin by reminding us that The University of Guelph is situated on Indigenous land. I acknowledge that the university is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek Peoples, specifically on the traditional territory of Missisaugas of the Credit First Nation. The history of this land did not begin at the point of colonization. Before settlers arrived and since their arrival, this land has been cared for by Indigenous Peoples. This thesis would not have come to be without the help of many wonderful people. I thank my Advisor, Brady Deaton for the guidance throughout this process. Thank you to my committee member, Tongzhe Li, I appreciate all your help. Thank you Barry Hill for your guidance and advice. Thank you to Liam Kelly and Bethany Lipka for your support throughout this process. I couldn’t have done it without the weekly meetings and input from you both. Thank you to my fellow students as well. I’m not lying when I say that I miss the late nights studying microeconomics with you all in the pit! I am very proud of the hard work you all have done the past two years. Thank you to Laura Stortz, my first friend in FARE. I have had a wonderful journey at Guelph and I’m so glad I was able to go through it as FARE2. To my family, thank you for the love and support. To Nikko, thank you for all the dinners, late night iv pickups from campus and always been there for me. I am very lucky to have the support. I am grateful for the financial support from the McCain Foundation, which has allowed me to study an area of great importance for Canada and First Nations alike. Finally, thank you to the faculty and staff in the department. Thank you for working to create a supportive learning environment, where I always knew a door would be open if I had questions. v TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • Detour Lake Power Project; DLPP)
    1.0 Introduction and Purpose of Undertaking The DLPP proposes to re-connect the Detour Lake site to the provincial electrical grid. 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF UNDERTAKING 1.1 Introduction Detour Gold Corporation (Detour Gold) has been exploring the previously developed Detour Lake mineral property since 2007. The Detour Lake property is located approximately 185 kilometres (km; by road) northeast of Cochrane in northern Ontario (Figure 1-1). The Detour Lake deposit was discovered in 1974 and was operated by another mining company from 1983 to 1999. Power was provided to this mine by a 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line connection to the Ontario electrical grid at Island Falls. Detour Gold proposes to construct, operate and eventually close a new open pit gold mine, the Detour Lake Project at the site. Detour Gold has completed a positive pre-feasibility engineering study for the Detour Lake Project and is nearing completion of a feasibility study. Engineering work to date indicates that the Detour Lake Project will require approximately 120 megawatts (MW) of power for construction and operation. The Detour Lake site is no longer connected to the electrical grid and activities are constrained by the current availability at site of less than 1 MW of diesel generating power. A dependable power supply is required to construct and operate the proposed open pit gold mine. 1.2 Purpose of the Undertaking Detour Gold is proposing to re-connect the Detour Lake site with the Ontario electrical grid (the Detour Lake Power Project; DLPP). Detour Gold is not in the business of power generation or power transmittal and the transmission line is intended solely to meet the needs of the proposed mine.

  • Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction a Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada
    Targeted Residential Fire Risk Reduction A Summary of At-Risk Aboriginal Areas in Canada Len Garis, Sarah Hughan, Paul Maxim, and Alex Tyakoff October 2016 Executive Summary Despite the steady reduction in rates of fire that have been witnessed in Canada in recent years, ongoing research has demonstrated that there continue to be striking inequalities in the way in which fire risk is distributed through society. It is well-established that residential dwelling fires are not distributed evenly through society, but that certain sectors in Canada experience disproportionate numbers of incidents. Oftentimes, it is the most vulnerable segments of society who face the greatest risk of fire and can least afford the personal and property damage it incurs. Fire risks are accentuated when property owners or occupiers fail to install and maintain fire and life safety devices such smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in their homes. These life saving devices are proven to be highly effective, inexpensive to obtain and, in most cases, Canadian fire services will install them for free. A key component of driving down residential fire rates in Canadian cities, towns, hamlets and villages is the identification of communities where fire risk is greatest. Using the internationally recognized Home Safe methodology described in this study, the following Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities in provinces and territories across Canada are determined to be at heightened risk of residential fire. These communities would benefit from a targeted smoke alarm give-away program and public education campaign to reduce the risk of residential fires and ensure the safety and well-being of all Canadian citizens.

  • The Barriers and Opportunities of Providing Secondary Suites in Rural Metro-Adjacent Regions of Eastern Ontario
    Suite Talk: The Barriers and Opportunities of Providing Secondary Suites in Rural Metro-Adjacent Regions of Eastern Ontario by Montana Caletti A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 ©Montana Caletti 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Providing an adequate supply of affordable housing has become an increasing challenge for Ontario municipalities. As a result, changes were made to the Planning Act requiring all Ontario municipalities to implement provisions to permit secondary suites within their zoning bylaws, and official plans. While the implementation of these changes expanded the opportunities for municipalities to increase the supply of affordable housing, several barriers were also encountered. The topic of secondary suites is most frequently studied from an urban perspective. However, given the unique characteristics, and prevailing conditions commonly found in rural communities, these areas impose distinct planning considerations that must be approached differently than urban areas. Therefore, this study examined the opportunities and constraints experienced throughout the implementation of secondary suites by rural metro-adjacent municipalities in Eastern Ontario. The opportunities revealed through the study included: diversifying the existing housing stock, providing supplementary income to homeowners, making better use of existing infrastructure, providing a means for homeowners to aide family members, and increasing municipal control over secondary suite rental housing.
