Chown, soon after coming to Winnipeg about 1880, began to collect material concerning the early doctors of Manitoba, and many years later read a communication on this subject before the Winnipeg Medical Society. This paper has never been published, but the typescript is preserved in the medical library of the University of Manitoba and this, together with his early notebook, were made avail­ able by him to the present writer, who gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness. The editors of "The Beaver": Mr. Robert Watson, Mr. Douglas Mackay and Mr. Clifford Wilson have procured informa­ tion from the archives of the Hudson's Bay Company in London. Dr. M. T. Macfarland, registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, kindly permitted perusal of the first Register of the College. Dr. J. L. Johnston, Provincial Librarian, has never failed to be helpful, has read the manuscript and made many valuable suggestions. Mr. William Douglas, an authority on the Selkirk Settlers and on Free' masonry has given precise information regarding Alexander Cuddie, John Schultz and on the numbers of Selkirk Settlers driven out from Red River. Sheriff Colin Inkster told of Dr. Turver. Personal communications have been received from many Red River pioneers such as Archbishop S. P.

These efforts have resulted in the develop­ ment of a well organized medical profession, excellent facilities for the 11 hospital care of patients and a Faculty of Medicine which ranks high among the M edical Schools of Canada. All these achievements have been brought about by the vision and rugged determination of a long succession of doctors whose idealism has been reinforced by the pioneer spirit. The life histories of many of these men make inspiring and colorful reading, as is evident from a perusal of the pages of "Medicine in Manitoba". It is indeed fortunate that Doctor Ross Mitchell has chosen to write the History of M anitoba Medicine. Doctor Mitchell has been one of M anitoba's most distinguished practitioners for more than forty years, and all during that time he has been keenly interested in the history of M edicine, and particularly in the medical history of Wes tern Canada. In the first section of this little book, which speaks so eloquent­ ly for his scholarship and research, he has gone back to the earliest days of the North-West, showing the influence of Indian Medicine, and the role played by doctors in the remote days of exploration and settlement of the territory now included in the Province of Manitoba. He has then proceeded to weave the facts of medical history into a concise and absorbing narrative of the difficult beginnings and gradual growth of the Province. The result is a most interesting historical document and a valuable source book of medical history. One hopes that at some future time Doctor Mitchell will develop some of the historical episodes of the profession in greater detail and delineate for posterity, in his delightful style, some biographical sketches of the pioneer doctors whose lives lent so much color to the local scene in times gone by. L. G. Bell, M.D., Dean, Medical Faculty, I The University of Manitoba. September, 1954 ' Ir VI FOREWORD fr SEEMS PITTING that the story of medicine in Manitoba should be recorded. For two centuries, what is now Manitoba, was part of Rupert's Land, a vast ill,defined territory held by a trading company under a Royal Charter. The only communication between London and the forts on Hudson Bay was the annual visit of a sailing ship. From 1812 settlers along the Red River threatened the supremacy of the fur traders. The little colony that developed there was isolated by over four hundred miles from the nearest civilization at St. Paul. After bitter strife and bloodshed Manitoba became a province in the young federation of Canada. Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and older lands sent their sons and daughters to the unoccupied land on the western prairies. At first the movement was slow, but with rail, ways the trickle became a flood. The new community found it neces, sary to enact measures to ensure order and welfare. Among these measures were the establishment of hospitals, the setting up of authority to determine standards for medical practitioners and the creation of a' l Board of Health. New source material has recently been made available in the sixteen volumes of the Hudson's Bay Record Society, published annually since 1938. In these one may find, although only by hard search, items of medical interest which hitherto had been buried in the Hudson's Bay Company's archives in London. The intent has been to record the beginning of medicine in Canada's keystone province and to carry the story forward to a time fairly close to the present when medicine has been organized to deal with the problems arising out of modern civilization. No attempt has been made to close off this narrative at a definite date. Names of living persons are mentioned only to round out a category such as Doctors in Politics or Doctors as Authors. The Golden Boy which tops the dome of our Legislative Building has his face set to the north. It was so placed as a symbol that the future of Manitoba may lie in those regions about Hudson Bay to which came the first white traders. Almost every ship of the Hudson's Bay Company from 1670 onward I carried a surgeon who in many instances stayed in the country for a year VII or more. Each of the four Selkirk expeditions, 1812 to 1815, was accompanied by a doctor who was usually second in command. The Iearly surgeons were the first naturalists and geologists, they explored the Arctic coast, they took part in government, even more important, they tried to bring hope and healing. The missionary and the doctor have been the first professional men to venture into a new country, and from their ministry to souls and bodies they have gained a place in the hearts of pioneers. Francis Bacon wrote: "I hold every man a debtor to his profession." It is in this spirit that these notes on medicine in Manitoba have been written. VIII Indian Medicine WHEN WHITE MEN first reached North America they met the copper­ hued natives, whom, in the belief that this new land was

The fullest expression of the whig interpretation of western Canadian history is to be found in the works of George F.G. Stanley and W.L. Morton. In presenting a narrative reconstruction of the events surrounding Canada's annexation of Red River, these authors primarily attempt to justify Canadian policy as the extension of British civilization.

  • An Overview of World-Class Gold Districts in Canada's Newest
    JULY 2002 Issue 74 An Overview of World-Class Gold Districts in Canada’s Newest Territory – Nunavut Rob Carpenter Indian and Northern Affairs Canada PO Box 100, Iqaluit, Nunavut, X0A 0H0 Email [email protected] Introduction The Lupin Mine is currently Nunavut’s sole gold producer and has poured over 3 million ounces of bullion since production began in 1982 (Fig. 1). However, recent gold exploration activities across Nunavut have resulted in several significant discov- eries which are at, or approaching, feasibil- ity. This renewed interest in gold explora- tion in Canada’s north is largely due to the availability of extensive, under-explored land parcels that are capable of hosting near-surface and high-grade gold deposits. Acquiring these large land parcels also im- proves the overall effectiveness of explora- tion and increases the chance of discover- ing much sought after gold “districts”, such as the well known Timmins and Kirkland Lake gold districts of the Archean Superior Province. Emerging gold districts in Nunavut in- clude: the Hope Bay Project, located in the northern part of the Archean Slave Prov- ince; the Meadowbank Project, and; the Meliadine Project, both located in the Ar- chean Western Churchill Province (Fig. 1). These districts contain a total gold resource ,QVLGH WKLV LVVXH Fig. 1 – Generalized geology map of Nunavut showing the location of the producing President’s Message 3 Lupin Mine and the Hope Bay, Meadowbank, and Meliadine gold districts as well as other advanced gold exploration projects in the Archean Slave and Western Churchill Duncan Derry Medallist 11 Provinces (after Wheeler et al., 1997).

  • S C H O O L Program
    SCHOOL PROGRAM 2020 INTRODUCTION We invite you to learn about Fort Gibraltar’s influence over the cultural development of the Red River settlement. Delve into the lore of the French Canadian voyageurs who paddled across the country, transporting trade-goods and the unique customs of Lower Canada into the West. They married into the First Nations communities and precipitated the birth of the Métis nation, a unique culture that would have a lasting impact on the settlement. Learn how the First Nations helped to ensure the success of these traders by trapping the furs needed for the growing European marketplace. Discover how they shared their knowledge of the land and climate for the survival of their new guests. On the other end of the social scale, meet one of the upper-class managers of the trading post. Here you will get a glimpse of the social conventions of a rapidly changing industrialized Europe. Through hands-on demonstrations and authentic crafts, learn about the formation of this unique community nearly two hundred years ago. Costumed interpreters will guide your class back in time to the year 1815 to a time of immeasurable change in the Red River valley. 2 GENERAL INFORMATION Fort Gibraltar Admission 866, Saint-Joseph St. Guided Tour Managed by: Festival du Voyageur inc.

    Self - Guided Walking Tour MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, GROUNDS, MEMORIAL PARK AND MEMORIAL BOULEVARD Page 1 The Manitoba Legislative Building The Manitoba Legislative Building is a priceless monument in the true sense of the term, since it is unlikely that it could ever be reproduced today. Construction of the neo-classical style building began in 1913, based on a collective vision to erect an imposing structure “not for present delight nor use alone… but such as our descendants will thank us for.” As the primary physical focus for Manitoba’s sense of its history and identity, it is natural that a number of statues and plaques commemorating notable people, events and historical themes are located on the grounds. With this leaflet as your guide, we invite you to take a walk through our history. A Walking Tour Through Manitoba’s History Welcome to your journey through the richness of Manitoba’s history offered by this tour of the scenic grounds of the magnificent Legislative Building. We hope that it will help you to understand the story of the development of Manitoba and to celebrate the cultural diversity which makes up Manitoba’s mosaic. Begin your journey through time by touring the statues and plaques, numerically listed in this guide. Use the map provided to locate the sites on the grounds.

The Doctor is well fitted by training, experience, knowledge and sym- pathy to do this work and has done it in a manner which fully vindicates his claim to all these qualifications. Our beloved Canada is just emerging into a vigorous consciousness of nationhood and is showing herself worthy of the best ideals in her conception of what the hig'hest nationality really involves. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the young of this young nation thrilled with a new sense of power, and conscious of a new place in the activities of the world, should understand thoroughly those factors and forces which have so strikingly combined to give us our present place of prominence.
