In 1967 governent officials planned an ambitious program of events to mark the historic occasion of Canada's one hundredth anniversary of Codederation. Existing accounts of Centennial, however, primarily personal reflections, are largely anecdotal in tone, and, to date, there fias been no comprehensive scholady consideration of the 1967 celebration. In contras& this study, a critical analysis of Centennial, explores how organizers designed events and programs that advanced the official objectives of the Centennial to bolster national pride and reinforce political unity. Adopting a culnual studies approach, the thesis examines "non-traditional" texts such as official reports, speeches, minutes, pamphlets, commemorative programs and public events. Also, employing a comparative mode1 of analysis, the thesis considers contemporary films and documentaries, exploring how officials advanced the Centennial message in an attempt to generate pubIic interest, and persuade Canadians to participate. From an organizational perspective at least, Centennial was a rernarkable achievement, with public participation far exceeding official cxpectations. Key to this success \vas the fact that Canadians, encouraged to celebrate in their own persona1 way, were not forced to express one vision of Canada or Canadian identity. In the end. Centennial functioned as a catalyst that engendered in many Canadians a new belief in thsmselves and the nation, launching thern into what they believed was a bright fùture, full of promise. 1 would like to express my appreciation to Professor John Burnsted for his words of encouragement, guidance, and ongoing support. Thank you also to Karen Morrow and the History department administrative support staff for dl their assistance over the years. Thank you to Neville A. Grey for his unwavering support. 1 am forever indebted to him for his understanding and patience, as well as his belief in the importance of my work and confidence in rny ability.

Alesandro Falassi Pd-] Time Out of Time: Essays on the Fesfiual, 1987. In 1967 Canadians joined together to mark Canada's one hundredth anniversary of Confederation, and with uncharacteristic enthusiasm and genuine national pride, they took part in extraordinaxy numbers. Thousands of people participated in the many officially organized national events and even more Canadiam took part in local, grass roots activities. Encouraged by govemment organizers to celebrate Centennial in their own particular façhion, Canadians expressed their national prïde in astonishing ways. They created Centennial hair-dos, participated in neighbourhood beautification projects, sewed Centemial toques. planned dances, arranged contests, sponsored sports toumaments, hosted youth exchange programs, presented historical pageants and organized parades. Everyone was invited to the celebration and, as if to emphasize the point. the residents of one northem Alberta community constructed a UFO landing pad, just in case. Given that officiais had had little time to plan and prepare for an event of such magnitude, the success of Centemial was a remarkable accomplishrnent.' While solid official support of the national event was an important factor, in the final analysis, hile non-governmental organizations started planning for centennial year as early as 1959, the governrnent was slow to formalize a plan of action. An Act Respecthg the Observance ofihe Centennial of Confederation in Canada received Royal Assent on September 29, ,196 1, but the Commission did not begin its work in earnest until early 1963, when Commissioner John Fisher undertook to staffsenior positions. was Canadians themselves who, by participaihg in exceptionai num bers, ensured Centemial was a positive and mernorable event. Marvelling at the extraordinary level of public involvement, one participant remarked that "something intangible happened. Al1 sorts of barriers between people - sociaI, religious, and so on - seemed to break down when people started working on . Centennial projects."' Reflecting on the spectacle, Canadian historian Jack Granatstein maintained -'the hundredth birthday ceiebrations combined with Expo . [gave] Canadians a sense of national pride . and the feeling quickly spread that the good, grey outlook that had long been said to characterize Canadians was gone forever.'" A feeling of optirnism and confidence in the future typified the Centemial year, an attitude that was reflected in coverage by the international press. Remarking on the success of the Montreal exposition, one British journaiist wrote Expo 67 isn't just a world fair, it has glitter, sex appeal, and it's given impact and meaning to a word that had neither: Canadian.' Over thirty years latsr, Centemial continues to figure pmminently in the minds of many Canadians. Writing on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Expo '67 and Centennial: journalist Alarma Mitchell observed, It seems a long ago time now, but there was a moment, a shining moment. '&Lacleans, December 1967, pp. 89-90. '~ac2,L.

Similarly. in their recent handbook on Canadian popular culture, writers Pevere and Dymond suggest "it was probably the most fun the country ever had doing something it was told to do.'" With each successive anniversary, joumalists mark the eveat with nostalgie articles about a time when, in our "memory, the sun is always bright, the St. Lawence River sparkling blue, and the breeze gentle-" Pierre Berton's recent book chronicling Canada's Centennial year is no exception. With the titie 1967: The Last Good Year, Berton implies Centennid signalled the zenith of Canadian optimism, success, and patriotic feeling, with everything thereafter having been something of a let down. Conceding there were tensions between Canadians, Berton nsvertheless c haracterizes 1967 as "a special year - a vintage year . a turning-point yrar.'" Many Canadians, it would seem, agree.

This study was undertaken following the decision of a broad group of partners in Atlantic Canada to join the OECD/IMHE project “Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development”. Atlantic Canada was one of the last regions, and the only North American region, to enter into this project. It is also one of the largest groups of partners to participate in this OECD project, with engagement from the federal government; four provincial governments, all with separate responsibility for higher education; 17 publicly funded universities; all colleges in the region; and a range of other partners in economic development. As such, it must be appreciated that this report represents a major undertaking in a very short period of time. A research process was put in place to facilitate the completion of this self-evaluation report. The process was multifaceted and consultative in nature, drawing on current data, direct input from HEIs and the perspectives of a broad array of stakeholders across the region. An extensive effort was undertaken to ensure that input was received from all key stakeholders, through surveys completed by HEIs, one-on-one interviews conducted with government officials and focus groups conducted in each province which included a high level of private sector participation.

Department of History Faculty of Arts Université d’Ottawa\ University of Ottawa © Maxime Dagenais, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii ABSTRACT “LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL EST MORT, VIVE LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL!” THE SPECIAL COUNCILS OF LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 Maxime Dagenais Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2011 Professor Peter Bischoff Although the 1837-38 Rebellions and the Union of the Canadas have received much attention from historians, the Special Council—a political body that bridged two constitutions—remains largely unexplored in comparison. This dissertation considers its time as the legislature of Lower Canada. More specifically, it examines its social, political and economic impact on the colony and its inhabitants. Based on the works of previous historians and on various primary sources, this dissertation first demonstrates that the Special Council proved to be very important to Lower Canada, but more specifically, to British merchants and Tories. After years of frustration for this group, the era of the Special Council represented what could be called a “catching up” period regarding their social, commercial and economic interests in the colony. This first section ends with an evaluation of the legacy of the Special Council, and posits the theory that the period was revolutionary as it produced several ordinances that changed the colony’s social, economic and political culture This first section will also set the stage for the most important matter considered in this dissertation as it emphasizes the Special Council’s authoritarianism.
