Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Directorate for Education Education Management and Infrastructure Division Programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE) Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Peer Review Report: Atlantic Canada Steve Garlick, Gordon Davies, Mario Polèse and Fumi Kitagawa The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the OECD or its Member Countries. 1 This Peer Review Report is based on the review visit to Atlantic Canada region in September 2006, the regional Self-Evaluation Report, and other background material. As a result, the report reflects the situation up to that period. The preparation and completion of this report would not have been possible without the support of many people and organisations. OECD/IMHE and the Peer Review Team for the Atlantic Canada region wish to acknowledge the substantial contribution of the region, particularly through its Coordinator, the authors of the Self-Evaluation Report, and its Regional Steering Group. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS........................................................................................................6 PREFACE .......................................................................................................................................................7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.............................................................................................................................8 1.

  • Genealogy Basics – Family History, Educators in My Tobin Family

    Genealogy Basics – Family History, Educators in My Tobin Family

    Genealogy Basics – Family History, Educators in My Tobin Family By Joe Petrie INTRODUCTION Many Genealogy organizations have the word History or Historical in the title. For example, Cape Breton Genealogy and Historical Association (CBGHA) and Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador (FHSNL) are a couple of organizations that use the terms. In a Genealogy Basic article about the United Kingdom and Ireland web site (Genuki), I used the Genuki site’s definition of Family History. Suggest that you read it. The article is in cbgen Records\Research. It is labeled “Genealogy Basics – An Amazing Irish Web Site”. My title of the article indicates that the Genuki site had a fantastic Getting Started link. Other tabs on the site were not reviewed. My simple view of Family History is: If the author includes non-verifiable oral history, it is a Family History document. My Register Reports in Records\Family are Family History Reports. Please note that a report by a paid professional genealogist often will only include verifiable facts. Some professionals go beyond one verifiable fact. For example, members of the Association of Professional Genealogists try to verify using two verifiable sources. Also, please remember that most genealogy teachers encourage students to start with relatives. A few teachers even say that the facts should be verified. Some teachers start on-line with Census records. Latest US Census records are for 1940. Canada Census records are for 1921. BACKGROUND I’ll cover eight of generations of my Tobin direct line family or siblings who taught (or still teach) starting with Patrick Tobin who immigrated from Gowran, Kilkenney, Ireland to Northern Bay, Bay DeVerde, Newfoundland in the early 1800s.

    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island 381 a Different View from The

    Placenaming on Cape Breton Island A different view from the sea: placenaming on Cape Breton Island William Davey Cape Breton University Sydney NS Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT : George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces . Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names. Keywords: Canada, Cape Breton, historical cartography, island toponymy, placenames © 2016 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction George Story’s paper The view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming “suggests other complementary methods of collection and analysis” (1990, p.

Hart, 2020 December, 2020, Halifax, Nova Scotia Approved: Dr. S. Karly Kehoe Supervisor Approved: Dr. Heather Green Examiner Approved: Dr. Don Nerbas Examiner Date: 10 December 2020 2 What’s in a name? Scottish Settlement and Land Plot Names and Settler Colonialism in Nineteenth Century Inverness County, Cape Breton. By Rachel L. Hart Abstract 10 December 2020 The application of place names by Scottish colonizers is a well-studied field. However, those studies focus on the identification and classification of such names, with little emphasis on how these names actually came to exist. This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of those that exist in Inverness County, exploring two types of names: those applied to settlements, settlement names; and those applied by individuals to land granted them, land plot names. Through analysis of land petitions, maps, and post office records, this thesis charts the settlement of places that would come to have Scottish names and the emergence of Scottish settlement and land plot names within Inverness County to demonstrate that these names were introduced as a result of large-scale Scottish settlement. This contrasts with the place names that can be found in other parts of the former British Empire such as Australia, New Zealand and even other parts of Canada where Scottish names came to exist as a result of Scottish colonial involvement as administrators, explorers and cartographers.

The scope of the subject includes both Canada's military participation in the inter-allied intervention and simultaneously the attempt on the part of Canada to economically penetrate Siberia, The principal research was carried out at the Public Archives of Canada, Ottawa during September and October, 1968.

The document is intended to serve as a guide in the evaluation of water supplies, and for the design and preparation of plans and specifications for projects. The document will suggest limiting values for items upon which an evaluation of such plans and specifications may be made by the regulator, and will establish, as far is practical, uniformity of practice. The document should be considered to be a companion to the Atlantic Canada Standards and Guidelines Manual for the Collection, Treatment and Disposal of Sanitary Sewage. Limitations Users of the Manual are advised that requirements for specific issues such as filtration, equipment redundancy, and disinfection are not uniform among the Atlantic Canada provinces, and that the appropriate regulator should be contacted prior to, or during, an investigation to discuss specific key requirements. Approval Process Chapter 1 of the Manual provides an overview of the approval process generally used by the regulators.
