I understand that my thesis may be electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Local festivals and cultural events, signage and streetscape improvements, and regional marketing efforts indicate that tourism is present in some Business Improvement Areas (BIAs). However, the extent and form of this relationship has never before been examined in the North America context. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the involvement of Ontario’s BIAs in tourism. It reports on the findings of a 2008 province-wide survey of approximately 260 BIAs, touching on a variety of topics, including: the proportion of BIAs that are involved in tourism, the factors prompting them to attract tourists, the ways that they promote themselves to tourists, the types of tourism experiences that they offer, the positive and negative impacts of their tourism efforts, and whether they partner with other stakeholders in tourism promotion efforts. The data are then used to propose a typology of Business Improvement Areas showing differing levels and forms of tourism involvement. The thesis concludes by considering four case studies of successful tourism-oriented BIAs (Downtown Kingston, Downtown London, Downtown Yonge and Creemore), which are examined to identify the characteristics that have led to their success. The findings show that the majority of Ontario’s Business Improvement Areas are involved in tourism, using diverse methods to promote themselves as destinations. Their tourism offering usually includes special events and festivals, but can also involve investments in other attractions. Although BIAs are aware of both positive and negative impacts from tourism, tourism management efforts are uncommon. Seven characteristics of successful tourism-oriented BIAs are identified: innovation, self-awareness, appearance, attractions, partnerships, experiences, and planning. BIAs that strongly manifest these characteristics are believed to be likely candidates to benefit from the tourism industry. iii Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis is a tribute to the support of many different individuals who have mentored me and contributed their ideas. It is true that we accomplish little in life on our own. An acknowledgements page does not seem a sufficient way to say thank-you, but it will have to do. Clare, I must begin by thanking you for all the advice that you have given over the past two years. I could not have imagined having a kinder advisor. You were patient, realistic in your expectations, and never made me feel uncomfortable with my many questions and ideas. The completion of this thesis owes much to you. Barbara, thanks for your willingness to take me on. Certainly you had enough other projects on your plate that you did not need this one! But my thesis is the better because of your advice. Erin, many thanks for explaining to me the nuances of cluster analysis. Your patient assistance in running the analysis through SAS was a huge help to me. To the many BIA representatives who supported this project with advice, constructive criticism, and information, thank-you. It is infinitely better because you were willing to work with me in collecting the data that informed my findings. To John Kiru, Ellen Timms, Beatrice Moreira-Laidlow, Kimberly McCarthy-Kearney, Doug Ritchie, Janette MacDonald, Lisa Thomas, Monica Kocsmaros and Craig Simpson – thanks for helping me as I stumbled about the world of Business Improvement Areas. I hope these findings are of practical use to you. I wish to thank: Dr. Clare Mitchell, University of Waterloo Dr. Barbara Carmichael, Wilfrid Laurier University Erin Harvey, Statistical Consulting Service, University of Waterloo John Kiru, Executive Director of TABIA, and Vice-President, Greektown on the Danforth BIA Ellen Timms, OBIAA Secretary, and Executive Director, Port Credit BIA Beatrice Moreira-Laidlow, Business Development Coordinator, Port Credit BIA Kimberly McCarthy-Kearney, OBIAA Manager, Membership and Special Events Doug Ritchie, Managing Director, Downtown Kingston BIA Janette MacDonald, Manager, London Downtown Business Association Lisa Thomas, Customer Service Representative, London Downtown Business Association Monica Kocsmaros, Marketing Manager, Downtown Yonge BIA Craig Simpson, Chairman, Creemore BIA iv Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my parents, fiancée, and Lord, Jesus Christ. Certainly I could have acknowledged each of you above, but I’d much rather dedicate this work to you. Mom and Dad, thanks for your patience with me over the past six years of my studies. You’ve been faithful supporters, both financially and emotionally. You provided a listening ear when I felt overwhelmed, and you gave me a comfortable place to work through the past year of research and writing. Above all, I knew that I could count on you to support me, even if I failed, and that reassurance was of great comfort in times of stress. Thanks for showing me that you love me. To my love, Karen. Thanks for listening as I tried to explain what exactly this study was all about. Perhaps some of it did not make sense, but what I really needed was a listening ear. Whatever our future holds, I’m glad that I can share it with you. To my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for loving a sinner like me. Thank you for descending from Heaven to live in a world that is filled with wickedness, hatred, violence and misery. Thank you for believing that somehow I was worth suffering and dying for. Thank you for restoring me to God, it’s so wonderful to be close to Him again! Thank you for giving my life a purpose far greater than anything society or academia can offer. I don’t understand why the God of all eternity would think I was worth it. I’m not. But I can say thank-you. And I will both now and forever. Thank-you. “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Revelation 4:11 v Table of Contents List of Figures .............................................................................................................................................viii List of Illustrations .......................................................................................................................................ix CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION .....................................................................................................................1 1.1 Purpose and Objectives ....................................................................................................................3 1.2 Thesis Outline ...................................................................................................................................4 CHAPTER 2 – LITERATURE REVIEW .............................................................................................................6 2.1 An Introduction to Urban Tourism ....................................................................................................6 2.2 The Changing Nature of Urban Retail ...............................................................................................8

  • 2005 Rideau Canal World Heritage Site Management Plan
    2005 Foreword The Rideau Canal bears witness to 19th century engineering excellence, most notably through its ingenious adaptive design and brilliant execution. As well as being a technological feat, it provides an eloquent illustration of the defence measures taken by the British Empire in Canada in the early 1800s, which resulted in the transformation of Canada’s eastern Ontario hinterland into a transportation route whose integrity has, to this day, been maintained at an exceptionally high level. This linear serial nomination incorporates six elements that together will become the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site. These are: the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Frederick, Cathcart Tower, Shoal Tower and Murney Tower (the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada). This management plan specifies how the world heritage values of the nominated property will be protected for present and future generations. It constitutes the formal commitment of the Parks Canada Agency, the responsible Canadian management organization, to the conservation and protection of the property. It identifies the world heritage values that will be protected, the legislative and policy framework for management of the property, the elements of the management system in place to protect the property, and mechanisms for monitoring and periodic reporting. As a high-level, overarching management plan, this document unites the specific operational plans for the six elements by identifying and elaborating management commitments and actions that will result in an integrated approach to administering the world heritage site. I am very grateful to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, the World Heritage Site steering committee and to all of the local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated good will, hard work, spirit of cooperation and extraordinary sense of stewardship.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Ireland to Upper Canada upon her marriage to Anglican minister Robert David Cartwright in 1832. Her voluminous correspondence chronicles her active engage- ment in the local affairs of her new ‘home’ in the colony of Upper Canada: as a wife, as a mother, and as a social activist. Cartwright played an incredibly important role in Kingston’s upper class community. She vol- unteered in the Female Benevolent Society and Orphans’ and Widows’ Friend Society, through which she contributed to the establishment of such major Kingston institutions as Kingston General Hospital, St. George’s Anglican Church, the Kingston Penitentiary, and Rockwood Asylum for the Insane. Harriett Dobbs Cartwright’s contributions to the community have had a lasting impact on the city of Kingston as we know it today. Victoria Cosby is a fourth year doctoral student in the Queen’s History Department. Her research interests include nineteenth- century Canadian women, the British World, as well as gender and sexuality studies. She is currently working on a biography of Harriett Dobbs Cartwright.

  • Fort Henry National Historic Site's Top Twenty Facts
    FORT HENRY NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE'S TOP TWENTY FACTS 1: THE REASON THE FORT IS CALLED FORT HENRY IS... The peninsula on which Fort Henry is built is called Point Henry, named after Henry Hamilton, 1st Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, 1782-85. 2: THE FORT WE WORK IN TODAY IS NOT THE ORIGINAL FORT BECAUSE... The Fort today is the 2nd Fort Henry. The 1st was originally built in 1813. It was dismantled when the 2nd fort was built from 1832-37. 3: THE ENEMY THE FORT WAS TO DEFEND AGAINST WAS... Throughout most of the 1800's, the United States. 4: THE PURPOSE OF FORT HENRY WAS... To defend the terminus of the Rideau Canal and the Royal Naval Dockyards. Please refer to the Fort Henry Commemorative Integrity Statement (CIS), for more information. 5: WHY FORT HENRY NEEDED RESTORATION IN THE 1930's ... The Fort was taken out of service in 1891, after which it fell into disrepair. It was rebuilt from 1936-38 and on August 1st, 1938, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King opened the Fort as a museum and historic site. 6: TODAY THE FORT IS... A living museum- our interpretive staff portrays life in the year of 1867 for the soldiers and their families who were in garrison here. (In garrison means they were stationed at the Fort.) As well, we offer our visitors shopping and dining, host special events and we keep our site clean and well preserved. 7: THE FORT WAS USED AS A PRISONER OF WAR CAMP/INTERNMENT CAMP IN... the 1837 Rebellions, during World War I, 1914-18, and during World War II, 1939-45.
