Abstract Developing Crown Land in Northern Ontario for the Purposes of Adventure and Nature Tourism Prepared in partid fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Design: Planning. Supervisor: Professor Theresa Baxter Over the last fifty years the world has seen dramatic changes in the way people travel from one place to another. In fact, it is not only the manner of travel that has changed but so too the destinations, the reasons, and the frequency. From this change a contemporary form of travel that espouses a deep respect for the people. places, and things being visited has evolved with specialized foci on conservation, the respectful inclusion of local people in the planning process, and natural environments. This type of travel is known as ecotourism and encompasses subsets such as adventure and nature tourism. Canada, and more specific to this report, Ontario, inherently offer tremendous opportunities to seek out such travel, pmticularly throughout their vast northern lands. It is the purpose of this Masters Degree Project to determine the potential for expanding adventure and nature tourism in Northern Ontario. Potential will be discussed in context OF: the degree of interest shown by the provincial government and its various ministries; an inventory of applicable adventure and nature resources; the regulations pertaining to land development for tourism facilities; and possible development constraints. These objectives will be accomplished using a variety of tools including: literature surveys, personal communications, a case study, map and air photo interpretation, and field observations. Recommendations are proposed relating to such issues as: adventure and nature tourism inventories of provincial and national parks, and private sector facilities; recognition of adventure and nature tourism in policy documents and initiatives; reductions in pollution; adventure and nature tourism inventories of all Crown Land; the need for full environmental impact assessment in tourism facility development; and distinguishing consumptive and non-consumptive tourism facilities. Key words: ecotourism, adventure and nature tourism, wilderness planning, land planning, Crown Land development.

  • An Assessment of the Groundwater Resources of Northern Ontario
    Hydrogeology of Ontario Series (Report 2) AN ASSESSMENT OF THE GROUNDWATER RESOURCES OF NORTHERN ONTARIO AREAS DRAINING INTO HUDSON BAY, JAMES BAY AND UPPER OTTAWA RIVER BY S. N. SINGER AND C. K. CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

Port Arthur, Ontario December l, 1958. : -© O - r\. # ;©-V SUMMARY The Upper Magpie River Acea includes the south easterly section of a belt of northeasterly trending volcanic and sedimentary rooks of early Precambrian age. This belt in general occupies the drainage basin of the Kabinakagami River* The area lies some 30 miles northeasterly from White River, Ontario. Volcanic agglomerates are enclosed by inter- banded flows and tuffs which are in turn flanked by sedimentary quartz-biotile gneisses. Oranite gneiss bounds these rooks *.o the southeast and southwest. Within the central and southeasterly portion of the map area all members have been folded into a steeply plunging syncline with axial plane trend ing southeasterly such that it protrudes from the main belt. Two complementary fault planes striking northeast and northwest intersect near the centre of the area. Both show horizontal displacement. A fsw minor occurrences of metallic mineralization were found bat none w.*s indicative of economic possibilities. t*i*©..:--VJi©5&-© 1.. **©.-©-." fclfr-©v GEOLOGY OF THE UPPER MAGPIE RIVER AREA ALGOMA DISTRICT, ONTARIO LOCATION AM) ACCESS The Upper Magpie River Area lies some 30 miles northeast of White River station on the Canadian Pacific Railway from where it is most readily reached by air transportation. An alternative route is by canoe from Swanson siding on the Canadian Pacific Railway eight miles west of Franz Station. This route, also of some 30 miles, follows up through Esnagi Lake thence west into Mosambik Lake and into the Magpie River.
