Maltby, Conservator, was contracted by The District Municipality of Muskoka and the Wahta Mohawks to prepare a master plan of heritage features for those lands within their respective jurisdictions. The project study team was under the direction of Dr. Ronald F. Williamson, Senior Archaeologist, (AS!). The ultimate objective of the research was the preparation of a high quality heritage planning study which identifies, analyses and establishes priorities concerning archaeological and other heritage sites located within the study area's boundaries. This study area was defined as those lands within the District Municipality of Muskoka and the Reserve lands of the Wahta Mohawks, incorporating approximately 3000 square kilometres (Figure 1). This study also resulted in the provision for land developers of a set of clear procedures to follow with respect to heritage features prior to securing development approvals. The benefits to the community at large include an enhanced understanding of the region's

  • The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey
    The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey Shifflett A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Geoffrey Shifflett 2012 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 This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken together, they provide insight into the origin and evolution of the meanings attached to tourist destinations in the Canadian Shield. The Muskoka Lakes region provides the venue in which continuity and change in each of these elements of the tourism landscape are explored. This dissertation uses previously underutilized primary source materials ranging from hotel ledgers, financial reports, personal correspondence, period brochures, guidebooks, and contemporary newspaper articles to reconstruct the Muskoka tourist experience over an extended period of time. The volume of literature pertaining to American tourism history significantly outweighs similar work conducted on Canadian destinations. This dissertation, therefore, begins with an overview of key works related to the historical development of tourism in the United States followed by a survey of corresponding Canadian literature. The lack of an analytical structure in many tourist historical works is identified as a methodological gap in the literature.

The successful completion of walleye spawning habitat enhancement work in October of 2009 represents completion of step #4 in a seven-step plan to re-introduce walleye into the Go Home Bay area of eastern Georgian Bay. The complete seven step process entails: 1. Pre-treatment assessment of the Go Home Bay walleye population. 2. Site characterization and evaluation of the Go Home Bay chutes walleye spawning site. 3. Design a site-specific, enhanced walleye spawning bed at Go Home Chutes 4. Enhance the Go Home Bay chutes spawning site 5. Rehabilitative walleye plantings for three – four years. 6. Conduct post-treatment assessment after the four-year stocking period. 7. Based on post-treatment assessment, consider the need for walleye harvest and fishing regulation revisions. This report relates specifically to walleye spawning bed enhancement work (Step 4) conducted at Go Home Chutes in October of 2009. 1.0 Project Goal: The over-all goal of this enhancement project was to contribute to towards the successful reintroduction of walleye to Go Home Bay with the intention of creating a natural, self-sustaining population.

  • 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 105 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River The Ottawa River was once the only way to access the Upper Ottawa Valley, to travel between Montreal and Ottawa and beyond. It was a viable option for military and commercial access to the Great Lakes. Before roads and even railways were built, the Ottawa River was literally the one and only highway, carrying merchandise, people, and mail in both directions. From Montreal, there were two Figure 2.63 Canoe on the River, 1841 main routes inland: the St. Lawrence – Great Lakes system, and the Ottawa River – Lake Nipissing – Georgian Bay to Upper Great Lakes route (Canadian Public Works Association 113). At first, canoes plied the waters of the Ottawa, carrying First Nations Peoples, explorers and voyageurs into the interior of the land. But the development of the lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley and the related settlement in its upper reaches soon required larger boats. These Source : Philip John Bainbrigge/Library and Archives Canada/C-011815 boats faced logistical challenges hoisting themselves up or around the many sections of chutes and rapids they encountered along the Ottawa. A series of canals, initially built for military purposes, facilitated the transportation of goods and people along the river. Figure 2.64 Steamer, “Duchess of York” Steamboats appeared on the Ottawa River during the construction of these canals, enabling a more reliable and efficient transportation system. The canals only circumvented certain rapids. Others, such as the Chaudiere Falls, still represent an Canada/C-003949 obstacle to navigation. Steamboats were therefore confined to particular sections of the river.
