  • Stepping Stones": Women and Political Rights
    "Stepping Stones": Women and Political Rights n 1784 an Order-in-Council at the Court of St. James in I London created the province of New Brunswick by separating the newly defined territory from the province of Nova Scotia. An influx of Loyalist refugees a year earlier had so augmented the population of the region, already peopled with Micmacs, Maliseets and reestablished Acadians, and had so increased demands for land grants that the colonial government in Halifax found the region difficult to administer efficiently, especially at such a distance. Some of the newly arrived Loyalists, impatient with the slowness of the Halifax government and displeased with sharing Nova Scotia with peoples they considered less loyal than themselves to the British crown, began agitating for their own administration. England was convinced. A new government was in order. A new province.' Born not of revolution - either military or ideological - the administrative creation hardly signaled an attempt at building a wholly new society. Rather, it reaffirmed the continued presence of English legal and political tradition in the region. This tradition, distinguished like other European legal and political systems by values based on male dominance of family and state,2 was to shape the lives of women and men of diverse cultures now living in the new province.3 What did the creation of the province signify in political terms to the women of the province - to the original women, theMicmacs and the Maliseets; to the reestablished Acadian women; to the recently established Black women;4 and to the newly arrived and diverse Loyalist women? Although the question requires us to evaluate the situation of 18th century women with 20th century criteria, we can nevertheless affirm that for even the most elitely placed of these women, the establishment of a new political order in the region did not improve or even alter women's status.

  • Chapter 5: Open Space
    Chapter 5: Open Space A. INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential impacts of the Proposed Action on open space resources. Open space is defined by the 2012 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual as publicly accessible, publicly or privately owned land that operates or is available for leisure, play, or sport, or serves to protect or enhance the natural environment. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an open space assessment should be conducted if a project would have a direct effect on open space, such as eliminating or altering a public open space, or an indirect effect, such as when new population overburdens available open space. The Proposed Action would not directly displace any existing public open space and would include open space in the Rezoning Area. However, the Proposed Action would also introduce substantial new resident and worker populations to the study area that would create new demands for open space. Therefore, an open space assessment was conducted to determine whether the Proposed Action would result in any significant adverse impacts to open space resources. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS DIRECT EFFECTS The Proposed Action would not remove or alter any existing publicly accessible open spaces, nor would it result in any significant adverse impacts on any open spaces due to noise or air quality. As described in Chapter 6, “Shadows,” Projected Development Site 2 would result in up to approximately 2 to 4 hours of new shadows on Trump SoHo Plaza and SoHo Square in the Rezoning Area, which would result in significant adverse shadow impacts to these open spaces.
