  • Chapter 5 Keepers of the Circle Learning Centre: Kirkland Lake and Temiskaming Shores, Ontario by Ronda Guenette, Lisa Sloan, Fiona Traynor, and Arlene Haché
    Chapter 5 Keepers of the Circle Learning Centre: Kirkland Lake and Temiskaming Shores, Ontario by Ronda Guenette, Lisa Sloan, Fiona Traynor, and Arlene Haché Land, known as mother earth, is not a metaphor…earth is a being, a source of life that gives birth to all living creatures and sustains the life of her children…land is a place of birth, growth and development, and death. Land and formal education share important characteristics. Both provide a focus for livelihood and survival, sustain life, validate the individual and assure the future.25 (Keith Basso, Wisdom Sits in Place) This report provides an overview of intervention methods used by Keepers of the Circle, an Indigenous Hub situated in the District of Temiskaming in Northern Ontario. Keepers of the Circle operates two centres, one at each end of the District: one in Kirkland Lake and one in Temiskaming Shores. Each offers early learning and family support programming and childcare. Both use similar Indigenous cultural and land-based interventions with children aged 0–12 years, although for this project access to the on- the-land component was restricted to children aged 4 years and older. Beginning in fall 2019, children aged 2 ½ and older will be involved in on-the-land programming. Keepers of the Circle is a critical resource for Indigenous families living in an urban setting, especially for those living away from their communities. It is also important for non-Indigenous families who choose to access childcare services at Keepers of the Circle, in part because of our program approach and in part because of our policy around inclusiveness that endeavours to “leave no one behind.” Both sites have environments that are welcoming and where Indigeneity is visible.

Initially the scope of work consisted of replacing approximately 17 structures. After re-examining the line, we have determined that we need to increase this replacement to approximately 22 structures planned for replacement in 2020. This project will occur on the existing 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line (circuit D3K), located between the Township of Evanturel and the City of Temiskaming Shores including the District of Timiskaming. The project area is shown on the attached maps. This project has been i dentified for replacement through Hydro One’s annual wood pole testing program, as some of the wood poles have reached their end-of-life. Replacing damaged and aging structures will ensure the continued reliability and integrity of these transmission lines and electricity supply to the areas. We anticipate that this work would be carried out within the existing transmission corridors, with no new corridors being required. Where possible, access to the tr ansmission structures would be gained using existing roads and trails.
