  • Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-Based Recreation
    Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation 2008 Humber River State of the Watershed Report – Nature-based Recreation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The variety of landscapes, features and nature-based recreation destinations in the Humber River watershed provide potential for a wide range of recreational activities including walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, wildlife-viewing, picnicking, camping, bicycling, horseback riding, golfing, fishing, swimming and exploring cultural heritage sites. • Urban development and population growth in Humber watershed municipalities will likely result in increased use of existing greenspace and nature-based recreation facilities and demand for additional greenspace and facilities. • There are approximately 8,800 hectares of public greenspace in the Humber River watershed (10% of the watershed). Most of the greenspace is owned by the TRCA (6,644 hectares or 75%). The quantity of greenspace in the Humber watershed increased by 243 hectares between 2000 and 2005. • Oak Ridges Corridor Park, created through the transfer of 428 hectares of land from private owners and developers to the Province of Ontario in 2004, protects the last remaining natural corridor link between eastern and western parts of the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill and represents a major addition to the Humber watershed greenspace system. • The length of inter-regional trails in the Humber River watershed totals 213 km. The total length of inter-regional trails has increased by 28 km since 2000 and an additional 15 km of inter-regional trails are proposed to be built in the watershed. • Numerous municipalities have proposed new local trails in the Humber River watershed, totaling 168 km in length.

    THE FISH COMMUNITIES OF THE TORONTO WATERFRONT: SUMMARY AND ASSESSMENT 1989 - 2005 SEPTEMBER 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to thank the many technical staff, past and present, of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources who diligently collected electrofishing data for the past 16 years. The completion of this report was aided by the Canada Ontario Agreement (COA). 1 Jason P. Dietrich, 1 Allison M. Hennyey, 1 Rick Portiss, 1 Gord MacPherson, 1 Kelly Montgomery and 2 Bruce J.

Results that continue to indicate a degraded or further degrading environment include an overall reduction in fish abundance, a high composition of benthivores, an increase in invasive species, an increase in generalist species biomass, yet a decrease in specialist species biomass, and a decrease in cool water Electrofishing in the Toronto Harbour thermal guild species biomass in embayments. Results that may indicate a change in a positive community health direction include no significant changes to species richness, a marked increase in diversity in embayments, a decline in non-native species in embayments and open coasts (despite the invasion of round goby), a recent increase in native species biomass, fluctuating native piscivore dynamics, increased walleye abundance, and a reduction in the proportion of degradation tolerant species.

  • REMODELLING the FAMILY NAME in TWENTIETH CENTURY NEWFOUNDLAND and LABRADOR: IDENTITY, CONTEST and HUMOUR Philip Hiscock Summary
    REMODELLING THE FAMILY NAME IN TWENTIETH CENTURY NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR: IDENTITY, CONTEST AND HUMOUR1 Philip Hiscock Summary In the 20th century, thousands of Newfoundlanders engaged in a kind of identity management through the phonic re- construction of their surnames, in an attempt to bring their family name in line with their contemporary desires for controlled connotations. This article examines cases of this surname re-modelling. IN 1977, E.R. SEARY'S Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland was published by Memorial University. It quickly became a classic text for enthusiasts of Newfoundland history. That was especially so for enthusiasts of the history of particular families and local communities where only a small number of names might be found. Ray Guy likened Seary's book to the family Bible in its place of importance in many people's homes.2 The book functioned as a kind of index to many of the public records, extending back more than two centuries, sometimes further, through the period of European occupation of Newfoundland. It also was a good index to family traditions, since one of the bodies of information Seary's research assistants (including Dr. Sheila Lynch) went through was the corpus of big questionnaires distributed by the English and later the Folklore Departments at Memorial University in the mid-1960s. Those questionnaires asked specific questions about family history and community 1This paper was originally a talk at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, Memorial University, November 2012.
