THE GUELPH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Welcome to the Handbook for Recreation & Sports Activity in Guelph SPONSORED BY: THE GUELPH COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Welcome to the Handbook for Recreation & Sports Activity in Guelph ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK This publication is produced by Community Information Guelph as part of its mission of enabling the development of individuals, by promoting wellbeing and the sense of belonging that comes with participating in community. Through funding provided by the Guelph Community Foundation we have been able to highlight the portion of our community information database that relates to recreation and sports groups in Guelph. As the impact of physical activity is increasingly understood to affect all aspects of human health, we hope this resource will offer an array of choices for residents of Guelph to pursue activities that contribute to their wellness and promote a caring and engaged community. In addition to the large, well-known non-profit sports and recreation groups in Guelph, we know there are many small groups, often run entirely by volunteers, which contribute incredible amounts of time and skill to govern, coach and organize opportunities for physical activity and participation. It is in the interest of promoting the value of all of these non-profit groups that this publication has been created. Knowing that information changes rapidly, we have also created an online view that displays the most up to date version of our information on these groups and programs. The staff and volunteers of Community Information Guelph at the Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington work diligently to keep our information as current as possible. What is Included in this Handbook General information on how to access recreation Community groups that are likely to offer a variety of recreational opportunities for families and individuals Non-profit organized sports and recreation groups in Guelph What is Not Included in this Handbook Commercially based sports organizations Membership-based clubs and facilities Informally organized groups Sports and recreation groups located outside of the City of Guelph Professional or semi-professional sports organizations 2 OTHER RESOURCES TO USE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT SPORTS AND RECREATION IN GUELPH: Guelph Community Guide www.guelph.ca Published twice per year, it provides information about recreation programs offered by the City of Guelph.

    ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE International Student CONNECT ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE 1 ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE CANADA Canada is the second-largest country in the world. Ten million square kilometers stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Oceans. While Canada’s wilderness is vast and diverse, most people in the country live in urban and suburban settings in regions with dense populations. Canada is a young country with three founding peoples. The Aboriginal or indigenous peoples of Canada lived here for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. There are three groups of indigenous peoples: First Nations, Inuit and Métis. French settlers first came to Canada in the 1600s, followed by English-speaking settlers from Great Britain and Ireland in the 1700s and 1800s. Over the past 200 years, people from many different ethnic and religious groups have immigrated to Canada. Today, around 20 percent of Canadians have been born outside Canada. In 1971, the country adopted an official policy of multiculturalism, which ensures equal treatment of all cultures. The first Europeans to settle in Canada were from France. When Britain won a war against France in the 1700s, the French colonies became part of British North America. French-speakers settled in many parts of Canada. The French-speaking part of the 2 ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE Canada colony later became the French-speaking province of Quebec. Today, Canada has two official languages—English and French. Canada became a country in 1867 when three British North American colonies— Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia—joined together to become the Dominion of Canada, a colony of the United Kingdom.

  • Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life Among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939
    Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 by Alison Elizabeth Norman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Alison Norman 2010 Race, Gender and Colonialism: Public Life among the Six Nations of Grand River, 1899-1939 Alison Norman Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2010 Abstract Six Nations women transformed and maintained power in the Grand River community in the early twentieth century. While no longer matrilineal or matrilocal, and while women no longer had effective political power neither as clan mothers, nor as voters or councillors in the post-1924 elective Council system, women did have authority in the community. During this period, women effected change through various methods that were both new and traditional for Six Nations women. Their work was also similar to non-Native women in Ontario. Education was key to women‘s authority at Grand River. Six Nations women became teachers in great numbers during this period, and had some control over the education of children in their community. Children were taught Anglo-Canadian gender roles; girls were educated to be mothers and homemakers, and boys to be farmers and breadwinners. Children were also taught to be loyal British subjects and to maintain the tradition of alliance with Britain that had been established between the Iroquois and the English in the seventeenth century.

  • Frank Nunan and the Guelph Bookbindery: a Documentary Investigation
    Frank Nunan and the Guelph Bookbindery: A Documentary Investigation by Greta Petronella Golick A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Greta Petronella Golick 2010 Frank Nunan and the Guelph Bookbindery: A Documentary Investigation Greta Petronella Golick Doctor of Philosophy Collaborative Program in Book History and Print Culture Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2010 Abstract The History of the Book in Canada / Histoire du livre et de l’imprimé au Canada and other national book history projects have been a catalyst for research into the local production of print and have highlighted the need for more study of the print trades in smaller centres. In Ontario during the nineteenth century independent weekly newspapers were printed in most villages, while larger towns boasted more than one print shop and often one or more booksellers and stationers. Bookbinders were active members of the book trades selling books and stationery, ruling paper, binding local pamphlets, periodicals, and books, and manufacturing blankbooks for a variety of purposes. Since much local printing was ephemeral in nature, the only evidence of its existence is found in the record books kept by printers and binders. Partial business records and other surviving artifacts of the Guelph Bookbindery, which operated from 1855 to 1978, are both a rich source of evidence of the day-to-day operations of the bookbindery and a key to the intersection of print trades in Guelph, Ontario, and the surrounding counties. This study uses local imprints, blankbooks, authors’ papers, newspapers, directories, maps, assessment records, photographs, museum artifacts, and oral history accounts to reconstruct a history of the bookbindery and its place in the print culture of nineteenth-century Guelph.
