  • Cobourg, for Example, and the Mem- Bers of the Family Compact at York, and Later, Toronto-Could Begin to Think of Recreational Needs on a More Sophisticated Level
    co THE SUMMER RESORTS OF ONTARIO IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY By Roy 1. Wolfe I In the early decades of the nineteenth century, when settlement in Upper Canada was still in the frontier era, the back country, a few miles inland from the Lower Lakes, was still wilderness. This was pioneer country, and there could be as yet no thought of using land for recreation, 1 while the land itself had to be tamed. The rural settlers had two chief sources of enjoyment-liquor and religion. The former was in good supply (Anna Jameson in 1837 was struck by the vast number of taverns that lined the road between Toronto and Lake Simcoe) but it would be many years before there was a direct relation between liquor and the summer re~QJ Exactly the reverse was true of religion: if in recent years there seems to have been little connection between religion and the summer resort, in the beginning it was very close., The most enjoyable religious ceremony the settlers knew was the Methodist camp-meeting, which sup- plemented the work of itinerant preachers, and reached its fullest de- velopment in the 1820~s.The excitement of the camp-meeting, the hysteria and violent conversions/ had an emotional appeal that nothing else could bring to the barren lives of the isolated settlers. Not only the religious came, but those of few religious convictions,3 who derived enjoyment from the spectacle. Camp-meetings lasted as long as a week, and people stayed in tents at the camping-grounds, which thus came to have the appearance of many future summer resorts.

  • Key Messages on Floodplain Mapping: Kawartha Lakes South and Kawartha Lakes North
    Key Messages on Floodplain Mapping: Kawartha Lakes South and Kawartha Lakes North Purpose The following messages are provided to assist partner organizations with their communications about floodplain mapping. If you are using social media, you could use the hashtags #floodplainmapping and #protectthefloodplain. Key Messages The Kawartha Lakes floodplain maps will enable residents and communities to better prepare for and take action during flooding events. Floodplain mapping is a powerful tool to respect and protect the floodplain. The map simply shows where the floodplain currently is. The floodplain has not been changed in any way through this project. Floodplain maps are planning documents that help protect people and property, as well as the natural environment. Municipalities and Otonabee Conservation use the maps to help direct future development outside the floodplain. Floodplain maps will be available to property owners to show where the flood lines are—avoiding costs & providing helpful information for those planning changes on their property. Municipalities are partners in the floodplain planning projects. Otonabee Conservation works closely with municipal staff at every stage of the projects. The process for mapping flooding hazards is set out in federal and provincial guidelines. First, specialists with expertise in water resources engineering and geographic information systems conduct technical studies of the area. Then, they create predictive models that allow the size and the shape of the floodplain to be mapped precisely. Online resources on floodplain mapping are available on the Otonabee Conservation website, at: https://www.otonabeeconservation.com/programs/floodplain-mapping Key Messages - 2 The Kawartha Lakes Floodplain Mapping project is actually two separate projects.
