(Fig. 1) One of the earliest industries in the Georgian Bay area was lumbering. The abundance of timber and the many rivers and streams leading to the bay at Byng Inlet made it an ideal location for sawmills. By 1871 there were two lumber companies which had sawmills at the town. By 1890 Byng Inlet cut more lumber than all the mills com- bined on Georgian Bay. The town grew quickly and by 1900 the population was 5000. The Graves and Bigwood Company became the domi- nant sawmill operation by 1906 and lasted until resources dried up around 1927.

ABSTRACT In the thirty years following Confederation, the Ontario government made an expanding range of grants to voluntary associations the essence of its agricultural policy. Neither the nature of the associations nor their receipt of public funds was nev. Yet in an "age of association" the burgeoning expansion of groups and grants marked a vital step in the expansion of government involvement in the economy.

  • The William Ghant Family: Pioneers of Melancthon Township
    The William Ghant Family: Pioneers of Melancthon Township Article submitted and Appendix compiled by Peter Meyler. Article originally printed in A History of Dufferin County, by Stephen Sawden, Orangeville, Ontario, c. 1930s During what was known as the “Epoch of Colonization” in Grey and Simcoe counties following the years 1849-50, two well-known pioneers of Melancthon, the late William and Mrs. Ghant, came from Toronto to Hall’s Corners and on to Beachell’s tavern, walking much of the way. Choosing as their homestead the 50 acres, lot No. 285, 1st con. S.W.T. & S. Road, they proceeded to clear a plot on the corner facing the Toronto line upon which to build a log cabin and plant a patch of potatoes. The foundation logs and dugout cellar of this primitive dwelling, still noticeable in recent years, stood almost on the site of the frame tavern, the “Dufferin Inn,” built of rough hemlock lumber by James McGoey, thirty years later. After spending a few years here and making a considerable clearing on the front of the lot, the Ghants moved four miles farther back from the Toronto Line and settled on a bush lot near what in later years became known as Small’s Corner. Here they settled and cleared another farm, erected log buildings and remained for several years. By this time the Ghant family, five boys and three girls, were almost full grown. With a view to securing farms for his family Mr. Ghant took up from the Crown a block of 300 acres in the 5th and 6th cons., S.W., which in recent years was known as the Ferrier property.

  • The Political Thought and Constitutionalism of Sir George Grey
    A Sphinx with a Riddle: The Political Thought and Constitutionalism of Sir George Grey BERNarD CADOgaN In October 1865, Napoleon III and Bismarck took a holiday together at Biarritz. When they weren’t playing in the sand, or walking the beach with the imperial dog ‘Nero’, or lying in deck-chairs, drinking champagne and smoking cigars, these bloody-minded men were discussing Prussia’s coming war with Austria, for which Bismarck was seeking French neutrality. The emperor gave the go-ahead, strangely demanding nothing in return, in response to which Bismarck remarked that Napoleon III was a ‘Sphinx without a Riddle’. Sir George Grey was also a Second Empire-era ‘sphinx’. Governor of South Australia 1841-45, of New Zealand 1845-53, of the Cape Colony and High Commissioner for southern Africa 1854-61, Governor of New Zealand again 1861-68, premier of this country 1877-79, Superintendent of the Auckland Province 1875-76 and a Member of the House of Representatives between 1875-95, Grey has also had a Sphinx effect on the historiography relating to him. He has not only tantalized and fascinated and repelled, but as Governor of British Gondwanaland, he has as many historiographies as he had nations to rule. I would hope that my work on Grey is a contribution towards the history of New Zealand (and colonial) political ideas. Abominable man that he was in many respects, he was nonetheless an intellectual in politics, perhaps resembling more Geoffrey Palmer in mental habits than Bernard Freyberg. I regret to say that there has been a trend in some quarters to deny the existence of significant persistent trends of political thought in New Zealand.

The overall size of the subject property is approximately 20 hectares. All activities carried out during this assessment were completed as part of an application for the proposed Strada Aggregates Inc. pit expansion. The Stage 1 background assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, along with Indigenous and nineteenth and twentieth-century settlement trends and development history. This research has concluded that there is potential for the presence of pre-contact Indigenous and historical Euro- Canadian archaeological resources. The Stage 2 field assessment was completed on 80% of the subject property by means of pedestrian survey employed at five metre intervals, and test pit survey initiated at five metre intervals and increased to ten metres when disturbance was observed.
