  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - 1901 04/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Ottawa Electric There was a partial tie up of the Rideau Street line of the street railway last night caused by a car jumping the track. As car No. 64 was speeding northwards down the Nicholas Street hill, the motorman seemed to lose control and on reaching the curve was going too fast to turn. The car went straight ahead, jumping the track, stopping within two feet of the sidewalk in front of Bourque's store. The auxiliary car and gang were summoned and had a big contract getting the car back on the track. 04/01/1901 Eastern Ontario Review Canada Atlantic Alexandria New Stage Line Mr. John Morrow, C.A.R. agent has succeeded in establishing a regular stage line from Alexandria to Green Valley to connect with all C.P.R. trains. 08/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Chaudiere McKay Milling One of the capital's oldest manufacturing concerns, the McKay Milling Company, is about to go out of business. After the April fire which gutted the buildings and destroyed the plant and stock therein the company sold the mill site and water power at the Chaudiere to Mr. J.R. Booth.

    P. G. Skidmore Canadian Canals to 1848 In the 1820s and 1830s canal fever struck Canada. The disease was not fatal, although it appeared to be at some stages; it left its victim weakened, scarred, deficient in strength to resist a similar disease soon to come-railroad fever. This paper will present a history ofthat canal fever, detailing the clinical symptoms, the probable source of conta­ gion, the effects of the fever, and the aftereffects. In more typically historical terms, the causes of the canal building boom will be explored. Three important canals will be described in detail, including their route, construction difficulties and triumphs, the personnel involved, the financial practices used, the political machinations sur­ rounding their progress, and the canals' effects. In the latter category, there are matters of fact, such as toll revenues, tonnage records, and changes in economic or demographic patterns; and there are matters of judgment, such as the effects of canals on capital investment in Canada, on Montreal's commercial prosperity, on political discontent in Upper Canada, and on esprit de corps. Passing mention will be made of several minor canal projects, aborted or completed. The essay will present a summary of canal building to 1848. By that year, the St. Lawrence canal system was essentially finished, and the Rideau Waterway and Canal were operative. There was an adequate nine-foot waterway for steamers and sailboats from the lower St. Lawrence to the American locks at Sault Sainte Marie. Inland trans­ portation costs had decreased and Montreal was expected to survive as a significant trading entrepot for the West.

Shea: Pope Paul VI and the "Mother of the Church" POPE PAUL VI AND THE "MOTHER OF THE CHURCH" Presidential Address by THE RT. REv. MSGR. GEoRGE W. SHEA, S.T.D. Among all the events of the past year, certainly the one of most abiding importance for Catholics was the promulgation by Pope Paul VI, on Nov. 21, 1964, of the Second Vatican Council's masterwork, the dogmatic constitution "On the Church." Specialists in the field of Mariology are particularly grate­ ful for the constitution's eighth and last chapter, "On the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, in the Mystery of Christ and of the Church." But they are hardly less grateful for the Holy Father's personal completion, as it were, of the doctrine of that chapter, when, in his discourse concluding the third session of the Council, he made explicit something which the chapter says only implicitly, namely, that Mary is "the Mother of the Church." On this subject Pope Paul said, in part: "By he promulgation of today's constitution, which has as its crown and summit a whole chapter dedicated to Our Lady, we can rightly affirm that the present session ends as an incomparable hymn of praise in honor of Mary.

  • Ecumenical Councils Preparing for Next Week (Disciple 6–Eucharist 1)
    January St. Dominic’s RCIA Program Disciple The Church: 15 History & Teaching 4 Goal • Having switched the Disciple 4 & 5 weeks, we looks at an overview of the Sacraments last week (Disciple 5), and explored the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. These Sacraments are two of the three that initiate us into the Church community, and into Christ’s body and mission. This week we’ll continue to unpack the meaning of Church by looking broadly at its history one the last 2000 years. We’ll also explore it’s role as Teacher. How does the Church function in and through history? How does God walk with the Church through it all? Agenda • Welcome/Housekeeping (10) • Questions & Answers • Introduction to the Rosary (15) Discussion (15): • If the Church is The Body of Christ, what does this mean for Christ’s presence in the world through history and in the world today? • What do I admire about the Catholic Church’s activity in history? Does any part of the Church’s activity in history disturb or upset me? • How do I (might I) listen to what the Church has to say today? What is my approach/attitude to the Church as “Teacher”? • Presentation: The Church: History (35) • Break (10) • Presentation: The Church: Teaching & Belief (30) • Discussion (time permitting): • What is special to this moment in history? • What is the Good News of Christ & the Church that speaks to this moment in history? • How can the body of Christ proclaim & witness the Gospel and walk with others today? Housekeeping Notes • Rite of Acceptance: February 10th at the 11:30am and 5:30 Masses.
