  • 5.4 Pembroke Area History
    OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 221 5.4 Pembroke Area History Pembroke Heritage Designation Sub‐Committee, led by Marian Patterson Geology Over one half million years ago, the country stretching from Fitzroy Township (known as the Upper Ottawa Valley) was covered by the sea. As the last ice age receded, a long, wide (and in some places, extremely deep) trench was left. The land exposed was rich in minerals, and is well known to mineral collectors. Minerals found in the region include corundum, hematite, magnetite, radioactive minerals, chalcopyrite, graphite, rose quartz, garnet, mica, molybdenote, galena, selenite, tourmaline, brucite, sphalerite, feldspar (including amazonite), apatite, fluorspar, nepheline, zircon, beryl, pyrite, tremolite and celestite. European settlers in the area quarried limestone, sandstone and feldspar. Many of the fine, older homes are made of locally quarried limestone. The closest lime kilns (for making mortar) were located on Allumette Island, just opposite Morrisonʹs Island. The bricks were made locally from the many deposits of clay found along the banks of the Muskrat, Indian and Ottawa Rivers. Pembrokeʹs City Hall is built from beautiful red sandstone that was quarried on Beckettʹs Island in the 1880s. These minerals were brought to the Pembroke area by boat. In the case of the feldspar, a short boat ride across Hazleyʹs Bay to the railroad spur was all that was needed. The Fur Trade In 1613 Champlain and his party paddled up the Ottawa River and traveled overland to the foot of Muskrat Lake. They paddled up the lake and walked across to the shore of Lower Allumette Lake, where they met Chief Tessoüat, who had a lookout at the foot of Morrisonʹs Island.

  • Champlains-Journey-1613-ENG
    Champlain's journey of 1613 On Sunday, June 16, 1968, a provincial plaque was unveiled in the municipal park on Highway 17 in the village of Cobden to commemorate the journey made by Samuel de Champlain up the Ottawa River in 1613. This was one of many plaques erected throughout the province by the former Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. Participants in the unveiling ceremony included: Mr. F.W. Truelove, councillor; Mr. L.G. Sparling, Reeve of Cobden; Mr. Maurice Hamilton, MPP (Renfrew North); Mr. Harry Hinchley, vice-president of the Upper Ottawa Valley Travel Council; Mr. Clyde C. Kennedy, local historian; Professor C.M. Johnston of the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board; and Mr. Laurence Bromley, president of the Ottawa Valley Historical Society. In 1993, the Ontario Heritage Foundation – successor to the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board – replaced this plaque with a revised bilingual marker that reads: CHAMPLAIN'S JOURNEY OF 1613 The Father of New France, Samuel de Champlain, made the first of two voyages into what is now Ontario in 1613. He travelled up the Ottawa River seeking the northern sea (Hudson Bay) which one of his five companions, Nicolas de Vignau, claimed to have seen. The expedition struck inland above Lac des Chats and followed a chain of small lakes towards present-day Cobden. Here, on June 7th, Champlain visited with the Algonkin chief Nibachis. Later the party met with the Algonkin elder Tessouat at Allumette Lake. Not wanting the French to travel into Nipissing territory, Tessouat convinced Champlain that Vignau had lied about having seen the northern sea.

  • 2.3 Algonquin History in the Ottawa River Watershed
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 17 2.3 Algonquin History in the Ottawa River Watershed James Morrison, Sicani Research and Advisory Services The history of the Ottawa River watershed is inseparable from the history of the Algonquin Nation. Though their territory was once considerably more extensive, the Algonquin heartland has always included the entire length of the Ottawa River, from its headwaters in north-central Quebec to its outlet near Montreal. At present, there are ten federally recognized Algonquin communities, with a total population of approximately 8-10,0001 (for more detailed information on these communities, see Appendix F). Nine of the Algonquin communities are in Quebec. Proceeding from northwest to southeast, these are the Abitibiwinni, Timiskaming, Eagle Village (Kebaouek), Wolf Lake, Long Point (Winneway), Kitcisakik (Grand Lac), Lac Simon, Mitcikinabik Inik (Algonquins of Barriere Lake) and Kitigan Zibi (River Desert) First Nations. In Ontario, members of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan (at Golden Lake) First Nation make up the only recognized Algonquin community, though three other Ontario First Nation communities, Wahgoshig, Matachewan and Temagami, are of at least partial Algonquin descent. Compared to First Nations in most other parts of Canada, the ten Algonquin communities have very little reserve land. By far the largest parcel is the River Desert Reserve belonging to the Kitigan Zibi Algonquins. Consisting of approximately 43,000 acres, it is located near Maniwaki, Quebec. The Timiskaming First Nation has a Reserve of approximately 5,000 acres at the head of Lake Temiskaming, Quebec, very close to the Ontario border. This Reserve, originally some 69,000 acres in size, was set apart by the Province of Canada in the period 1851-53, as was the River Desert Reserve.

  • The Cowley Family in Canada
    The Cowley Family in Canada Pre-1831 The Cowley family of Ottawa and the Upper Ottawa Valley originated in Nottinghamshire (Notts.) in the English Midlands. At the time of writing this, they can be traced back to the marriage of a Daniel Cowley to Elizabeth Smith in 1726 in Warsop, Notts. There is evidence, however, that they were farmers in Nottinghamshire at least as far back as 1629, when a Daniel Cowley of Ollerton, Notts. held lands and privileges in the Duchy of Lancaster from King Charles I, privileges which were subsequently renewed for his descendants in the reigns of Charles II and George III. The family was particularly associated with the parish of Ollerton, which is in Sherwood Forest (of Robin Hood fame). Family lore claims family relationships with Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, as well as Lord Cowley and Sir Francis Drake. Although not backed up by documentary evidence, a remarkable facial resemblance was noted in the early 1900s between more than one family member of the Canadian branch and Lord Cowley and the Duke of Wellington. – Compare the 1902 photo of Martha Elizabeth Cowley Mereweather! Lord Cowley, Duke of Wellington, Martha Elizabeth Cowley Henry Wellesley Arthur Wellesley Mereweather (1902) The name Daniel has been given to sons in every successive generation of the family down to the present day - a period of nearly 400 years - while other family names have also been carefully preserved and given to family members through the generations. 1831-32 In 1831 Mailes Cowley, a ‘practical botanist’ in the Botanical Gardens at Kensington (London), England, emigrated to Canada at the age of 65 with his wife, Harriott, aged 53, and two children - a boy named Daniel Keyworth (born 1817) and a girl named Harriet (born 1823).

  • Champlain's Portage from Muskrat Lake to the Ottawa River
    Croft Champlain’s Portage from Muskrat Lake to the Ottawa River 3 Champlain’s Portage from Muskrat Lake to the Ottawa River David J.A. Croft A study of topographic maps and aerial photographs supports the accuracy of Champlain’s records of camps and portage routes during his short trip in the Ottawa Valley. In 1613, Champlain travelled from a loca- tion near present-day Cobden on Muskrat Lake to Lower Allumette Lake, a widening of the Ottawa River near present-day Pembroke. The accuracy of Champlain’s recorded distances and routes have been ques- tioned. In the twentieth century, historians confused by Champlain’s geographical and metric records came to erroneous published conclusions, which this study refutes. On the seventh day of June, 1613, Samuel de ...we again entered the river where I had Champlain visited Algonquin villages and camps been before, which leads to the near the present-day communities of Cobden and Algonquins, a distance of eighty-nine Pembroke, Ontario (Figure 1).

  • Champlain's Astrolabe"
    Champlain’s Astrolabe Charles Macnamara lived in Arnprior from 1881 to 1944, and worked as secretary- treasurer for the McLachlin Bros. At one point in Macnamara's life he became quite interested in the 16th century explorer and soldier, Samuel de Champlain. He conducted comprehensive research using his own correspondence with others, his interviews and knowledge of the Ottawa Valley to complete articles, such as "Champlain as a Naturalist" and "Champlain's Astrolabe". It is interesting that in the years following Macnamara’s Champlain articles, the erection of a monument to Champlain on Chats Lake was discussed by Arnprior council. This is documented in the Arnprior Chronicle of January 13, 1928. About The Exhibit Included in this set of images are photos from one of Macnamara's scrapbooks. The map of Champlain’s route is not part of the scrapbook; however it is included in this display to show Macnamara’s interest in Champlain’s precise travels and his knowledge of the Ottawa Valley. Also the image of Macnamara himself is from another scrapbook and is included to provide a short biography. The last three images are in the order that Macnamara included them in his scrap book. The first of these three puts the area around the site into context, the next images move incrementally closer showing further details of where the astrolabe was found. Macnamara’s photos have been scanned from glass plate negatives. Around the side of each photo the emulsion's edge is still visible and is a reminder of the medium used by Macnamara. -Ryan Tobalt (AMBA 2013 Summer Student) ‘Charles Macnamara worked as secretary-treasurer for the McLachlin Bros.

  • Muskrat Watershed Council
    :Jvl usk..fat Watersfuu£ Counci[ Healthy land, water and quality of life for future generations on the Muskrat Lake Waters/zed A Word from the Chair It has been a successful year for the Muskrat Watershed Council. We started the year by participating in the Heritage Radio Holly Jolly Radiothon. A big thank you to everyone who participated and/or donated! Another successful fundraising event that happened recently was Swim for the Lake where Sarah Hall swam the full length of Muskrat Lake, beginning at the bottom of Meath Hill on Muskrat River - a total of 16.5 km. Incredible. In winter/spring 2017, our efforts focused on preparing to take part in the Love Your lake program with Watersheds Canada. Algonquin College's Environmental Technician Program and Office of Applied Research and Innovation were crucial in helping execute the Love Your lake program this summer. A great team of students Karen Coulas, Chair - Paul Cipriani, Alexa Mantifel, and Brady Beaupre - as well as Environmental Technician Martyna Tomczynski and our crew of dedicated volunteers spent many summer days on Muskrat Lake assessing approximately 330 properties. That's a lot of lakefront! ! Muskrat Lake property owners can look forward to their own personal (and confidential) assessment, available spring 2018. The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) water quality monitoring network continued to be managed and sampled by Algonquin College for its fourth consecutive year. This fall, Muskrat Watershed Council will be releasing the 2015, 2016, and 2017 water quality reports written by Dr. Rebecca Dalton. These will provide more information on the state of the watershed over a period of 4-years.
