As initially defined it stretched from the Ottawa River valley to Georgian Bay, and it was bounded on the south by a first tier of settlement on the St Lawrence River and Lake Ontario.3 Optimistic promoters of the tract were inspired by the rapid settlement of American mid western states such as Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan that attracted record numbers of immigrants in the 1850s. Despite results far short of their hopes, the Ottawa and Huron country was peopled in the nineteenth century and 1Research for this paper was supported by a grant from Father Edward Jackman and the Jackman Foundation of Toronto. 2 Permission for publication not yet requested. 3 Library and Archives Canada [hereafter LAC], RG 17, Department of Agriculture, Vol. 1491, 97- 105, Report to the Executive Council, 12 September 1853, 101. 2 farmers played their part. Clearing the forest cover for farm land too often exposed pre-Cambrian rock formations and swamps or a thin top soil where new stones surfaced after each year’s frosts. After Confederation, more settlers came as railways fostered short term development in a way that roads had not. Yet many farms did not last longer than the lumber operation or mine that had kept them going until the resource was exhausted.4 Today this land is valued for recreational and cottage. Not far from these cottages, nature is taking back old orchards and unused fields still bounded by stone fences. Walking the abandoned farms of Purdy’s poem, the inescapable question is why did farmers try? Why here? Some farmers, immigrants especially, came because of propaganda spread by government agents using materials produced and officially endorsed by the Canadian Bureau of Agriculture and Statistics (elevated to a Department in 1862). This paper will take a step away from farm and farmer to look at government’s part in promoting marginal land to agriculturalists in Great Britain and on the continent. Why did the politicians behind this attempt to grow the country not take more account of the nature of the terrain? A case study is the more interesting for parallels with other ventures where political urgency outpaced evaluation of the land to be farmed. The scene was set for a project to bring farmers to Ottawa Huron tract by legislation passed in 1853 to permit government financing of roads into territory on the fringes of the Canadian Shield in both Canada West and Canada East.5 In recognition of the difficulty of access, the government used dedicated funds to open “colonization roads” into newly surveyed lands.6 In the tract, 4 Brian S.

Murray, Muskoka and Haliburton 1615-1875 (Toronto: Champlain Society 1963), 185. Before Confederation, promotion of the Ottawa Huron tract to emigrant settlers evolved in two stages which can be traced in a series of pamphlets of varying lengths written and published under the Bureau of Agriculture and Statistics. Advertizing began with the opening of the first three roads. The Hastings and Addington roads led inland from Lake Ontario, and the Ottawa and Opeongo, intended to run from the Ottawa River to a terminus (never reached) on Georgian Bay, “Colonizing the fringe of the Canadian Shield;”Serge Courville, Quebec: A Historical Geography (Vancouver: UBC Press 2008, translated by Richard Howard) ch. 8. 7 Miller, Straight Lines, 21, lists seven running north south and six east and west. Settlers also built branch roads with assistance from an improvement fund. George W. Spragge, “Colonization Roads in Canada West,” Ontario History (1957, No. 4) 1957; Keith A. Parker, “Colonization Roads and Commercial Policy,” Ontario History (1975, No 1), 31-38. 4 served as a temporary northern boundary for surveyed townships.8 In the first stage of promotion in 1856 and 1857, the Bureau of Agriculture and Statistics distributed pamphlets abroad through agents other than their own. The Bureau printed pamphlets in the thousands in English for distribution in Britain and, translated into German, Norwegian and French, in somewhat fewer thousands for the continent.9 In the second stage, government agents appointed in Canada were sent abroad between 1859 and 1863 in a joint venture of the Bureau and the Department of Crown Lands. Their job was to oversee all the ways of spreading information and to reach emigrants with the advantages of Canada before they decided on a destination. This project went forward until 1862 under the umbrella of a liberal conservative administration led in Canada West by John A. Macdonald. Two politicians stood out. Philip Vankoughnet won election to the Legislative Council in 1856 with a call for the annexation of the North West.10 When the Hudson Bay Company successfully parried efforts to gain the North West for the province, he and other expansionists turned their attention to land within provincial boundaries. As minister of agriculture until 1858, and as commissioner of crown lands from 1858 to 1862, he took the lead in the Executive Council on developing the Ottawa Huron tract. Thomas D’Arcy McGee, best known as a Father of Confederation and its eloquent spokesman, honed his case for federation by promoting immigration as the only way to build population at the rate 11 required to fill vast new and future surveys.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • The Toronto & Nipissing Railway
    26 The Narrow Gauge Phenomenon in Ontario The distance between the rails was an immediate issue at the very beginning of the railway itself. Re- markably, the question of the preferred gauge was settled very quickly in England where railways were invented and given to the world. George Stephenson, the inventor who made the steam locomotive a practical proposition, decreed that it should be 4’8½”, or 1435 mm, and that came to be adopted through- out western Europe, and was exported all over the world. This gauge came to be known world-wide as the “Standard” or “Stephenson” gauge. Not surprisingly, any gauge narrower than the standard gauge was defined as narrow gauge, and any gauge wider as a wide or broad gauge. The Province of Canada, that had enacted a financial incentive for the building of railways, specified in 1851 that in order for a railway to obtain that incentive, it had to build to the 5’6” gauge, which came to be known also as the "Provincial" Gauge. Essentially this legislation defined Canada’s railway gauge for the next twenty years, contrary to the 4’8½” gauge that was by then rapidly becoming standard in western Europe and, more immediately, also in the adjoining northern states of the USA. Notwithstanding the increasing prevalence of the standard gauge in railways around the world, those railways that opted for a wider gauge claimed improved stability, higher load capacity and increased pas- senger comfort, but in some cases selected a different gauge from that of their neighbour for political or strategic reasons.

  • The Four Courts of Sir Lyman Duff
    THE FOUR COURTS OF SIR LYMAN DUFF RICHARD GOSSE* Vancouver I. Introduction. Sir Lyman Poore Duff is the dominating figure in the Supreme Court of Canada's first hundred years. He sat on the court for more than one-third of those years, in the middle period, from 1906 to 1944, participating in nearly 2,000 judgments-and throughout that tenure he was commonly regarded as the court's most able judge. Appointed at forty-one, Duff has been the youngest person ever to have been elevated to the court. Twice his appointment was extended by special Acts of Parliament beyond the mandatory retirement age of seventy-five, a recogni- tion never accorded to any other Canadian judge. From 1933, he sat as Chief Justice, having twice previously-in 1918 and 1924 - almost succeeded to that post, although on those occasions he was not the senior judge. During World War 1, when Borden considered resigning over the conscription issue and recommending to the Governor General that an impartial national figure be called upon to form a government, the person foremost in his mind was Duff, although Sir Lyman had never been elected to public office. After Borden had found that he had the support to continue himself, Duff was invited to join the Cabinet but declined. Mackenzie King con- sidered recommending Duff for appointment as the first Canadian Governor General. Duff undertook several inquiries of national interest for the federal government, of particular significance being the 1931-32 Royal Commission on Transportation, of which he was chairman, and the 1942 investigation into the sending of Canadian troops to Hong Kong, in which he was the sole commissioner .

  • Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
    FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam.

  • The Archaeology of 1858 in the Fraser Canyon
    The Archaeology of 1858 in the Fraser Canyon Brian Pegg* Introduction ritish Columbia was created as a political entity because of the events of 1858, when the entry of large numbers of prospectors during the Fraser River gold rush led to a short but vicious war Bwith the Nlaka’pamux inhabitants of the Fraser Canyon. Due to this large influx of outsiders, most of whom were American, the British Parliament acted to establish the mainland colony of British Columbia on 2 August 1858.1 The cultural landscape of the Fraser Canyon underwent extremely significant changes between 1858 and the end of the nineteenth century. Construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road and the Canadian Pacific Railway, the establishment of non-Indigenous communities at Boston Bar and North Bend, and the creation of the reserve system took place in the Fraser Canyon where, prior to 1858, Nlaka’pamux people held largely undisputed military, economic, legal, and political power. Before 1858, the most significant relationship Nlaka’pamux people had with outsiders was with the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), which had forts at Kamloops, Langley, Hope, and Yale.2 Figure 1 shows critical locations for the events of 1858 and immediately afterwards. In 1858, most of the miners were American, with many having a military or paramilitary background, and they quickly entered into hostilities with the Nlaka’pamux. The Fraser Canyon War initially conformed to the pattern of many other “Indian Wars” within the expanding United States (including those in California, from whence many of the Fraser Canyon miners hailed), with miners approaching Indigenous inhabitants * The many individuals who have contributed to this work are too numerous to list.

  • Farrell & Waatainen, 2020 Canadian Social Studies, Volume 51
    Farrell & Waatainen, 2020 Canadian Social Studies, Volume 51, Issue No. 2 Face-to-Face with Place: Place-Based Education in the Fraser Canyon Teresa Farrell Instructor, Faculty of Education Vancouver Island University [email protected] Paula Waatainen Instructor, Faculty of Education Vancouver Island University [email protected] This work was supported by funding received from a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Exchange Grant, a Vancouver Island University Innovate Grant, and funds from the Faculty of Education, Vancouver Island University. Two instructors from the Faculty of Education at Vancouver Island University organized a three-day field experience with 35 pre-service teachers along the Fraser Canyon corridor, home of the Nlaka’pamux and Stó:lō Nations. We asked: How will an educational field experience in this place impact and inform pre-service teachers and researchers’ understanding of place- based education (PBE) in their practice? We explore the shift towards Indigenous perspectives that subtly wove its way through the work and how it framed new ways of thinking about place for our participants and new ways of considering decolonizing education for the instructor researchers. We conclude by arguing that PBE is necessitated by active, living relationship in place and provides opportunities for critical pedagogy grounded in Indigeneity. We also suggest that both Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators have a role to play in this work. “Is it not time to face place – to confront it, take off its veil and see its full face.” (Johnson and Murton, 2007, p. 127). On September 12, 2019, two instructor researchers traveled with 35 pre-service teachers to a place that lived in our minds and hearts: the Fraser Canyon corridor1, in what is now British Columbia, Canada.

  • Land Surveying: an Institution That Has Shaped Canada
    Land surveying: An institution that has shaped Canada National Surveyors Conference – March 1, 2017 Dr Brian Ballantyne Under a spell As Nina Simone suggested, let me put a spell on you by describing how land surveying has shaped Canada. The spell focuses on surveying as an institution, using a cunning mélange of infrastructure, innovation, ideas, ideals, individuals, imagination and Indigenous lands.1 ‘Cause here’s the thing: Surveying defines Canada. The spell largely ignores2 Champlain, Radisson, Groseilliers, Holland, Thompson, Fidler, Pond, Hearne, Mackenzie, Palliser, Rae, Dennis, Moberly, Weaver, Deville and their ilk, for a bunch of reasons. Many of them were courier de bois, fur traders, explorers and mappers; not land surveyors.3 They have been much celebrated elsewhere.4 And; focusing solely on individuals runs the risk of discounting surveying as an institution. The spell also ignores survey systems, which are also described elsewhere: 5 This spell-binding chat is structured in three parts: - Embedding surveying as part of Canada’s psyche; - Regaling with 10 colourful vignettes; - Speculating about future contributions. From here on, the term “surveyors” means both “land surveyors” and “arpenteurs-géomètres.” Similarly, “surveying” means the parcel/boundary work that has been done by surveyors over these many years, and that continues. The goal is to get all up in your grill:6 To show that, as each fardel of land was demarcated, surveying became part of the fabric - the very warp and weft - of Canada.7 1 I to the 7th as it were. 2 Nor are colonization roads, watercourses as highways, the internet of things, geo-referencing road networks, pipeline rights-of way, subdivisions, Lenin’s dialectical materialism or Kant’s categorical imperative discussed.

As such, besides examining the lives of prime ministers and other elites, we will also analyse, for example, what things were like for ordinary people; besides focussing upon the French-English divide, we will also look at issues revolving around gender roles and Canada’s First Peoples; and besides noting cultural expressions such as "high art," we will also touch upon things such as various forms of popular entertainment. The general story will come from the lectures. However, your outline will refer to chapters from the Francis, Smith and Jones texts, Journeys. You should read these, especially if parts of the lecture remain unclear. The textbook will provide background; it will not replicate the lectures. Required readings will consist of a series of primary source documents. The lectures will refer to many of those documents, suggesting how they might be understood in relation to the general flow of events. Thus, on the mid-term test and final examination, you should be able to utilize the required readings and the lecture material in responding to questions.
