REGIONAL COUNCIL MINUTES Wednesday, January 26, 2005 REGIONAL COUNCIL MINUTES Wednesday, January 26, 2005 The following are the minutes of the Regular Council meeting held at 7:10 p.m. in the Regional Council Chamber, 150 Frederick Street, Kitchener, Ontario, with the following members present: Chair K. Seiling, J. Brewer, M. Connolly, K. Denouden, H. Epp, T. Galloway, J. Haalboom, R. Kelterborn, C. Millar, J. Mitchell, J. Smola, B. Strauss, J. Wideman, and C. Zehr. Regrets: D. Craig and W. Roth DECLARATIONS OF PECUNIARY INTEREST UNDER THE MUNICIPAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACT J. Smola disclosed a pecuniary interest with respect to the grant for K-W Counselling Services Inc., as he is the carpenter for this new construction. CLOSED SESSION MOVED by B. Strauss SECONDED by J. Smola That Council convene in Closed Session pursuant to Part II, Section 14(1) a), b), f) of Procedural By-law 00-031, as amended. CARRIED DELEGATIONS Mike O’Connor on behalf of Keith Murray appeared with respect to the Development Charges Act, 1997. M. O’Connor stated he is Mr. Murray’s son-in-law and he supports a change in the Development Charges By-law. He stated this proposed development of Mr. Murray’s land will require no increase in the current Regional infrastructure. Mr. O’Connor concurred that the Council’s hands are tied but noted the building is primarily for the production of crops and breeding of animals. He advised the property is used for a farm vacation program for 60 days each year. He provided suggestions to Council for changes in the wording of the by-law which would give Council the power to impose development charges based on a percentage of use related to time or square footage. Councillors discussed the recalculation that will be done once staff are advised of the issuance of a demolition permit from the Township of North Dumfries. Councillors were sympathetic to the situation but their job is to interpret the by-law as it currently stands. The diversification of farms is an item to be considered when the by-law is reviewed. Larry Ryan, Chief Financial Officer, stated there are factors that may result in the by-law being opened up in advance of the five year requirement including: changing legislation from the Province, light rail transit, growth management and road issues. It is uncertain when this may happen, possibly in the next one or two years, but certain issues may be packaged when opening up the by-law. Any potential interpretations will need to be discussed with the area municipalities, especially related to second businesses on farms. T. Galloway brought forward the recommendation from the Administration and Finance Committee. Council - 2 - 05/01/26 MOVED by T. Galloway SECONDED by J.

  • Old Bones: a Recent History of Urban Placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario
    Old Bones: A recent history of urban placemaking in Kitchener, Ontario through media analysis by Lee Barich A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2020 © Lee Barich 2020 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Kitchener, Ontario has experienced significant social and physical changes in its downtown in recent decades. Once an industrial hub, the City's urban core declined as suburban migration and deindustrialization gutted its economic and cultural activity. Now, the downtown sees a new light rail transit (LRT) system pass by the old brick industrial buildings where tech companies and new developments thrive. This thesis will offer a historical review as to how this transition occurred through media analysis. Newspaper archives show that this revitalization was the process of negotiating place, identity, and value amongst the City's leaders, its residents, and investors. This process revolved around the successful conservation of cultural heritage sites. Participants considered how to leverage these assets to reclaim the City's identity while also building a liveable space for its future. By exploring the important role played by heritage conservation in the City's downtown revival, readers will see how cultural assets can offer an economic, social, and cultural return on investment.

    Languages of Ethnicity: Teaching German in Waterloo County’s Schools, 1850–1915 BARBARA LORENZKOWSKI* The German-language classroom in the public schools of Waterloo County, Ontario, thrust the local ethnicity of the region into the public eye and provoked public conversations on the meaning of the German language and its importance to cultural identity. Ethnic leaders vocally sought to preserve their mother tongue in its ancestral “purity” and to boost enrolment in German-language programmes in the schools. Yet the languages of ethnicity in Waterloo County were not bound by the standard German that ethnic leaders sought to perpetuate as the only legiti- mate expression of the mother tongue. Rather, a local language that infused German with English phrases, syntax, words, and idiom remained a medium of communi- cation well into the twentieth century. This fluid new medium — “pidgin” German, as ethnic leaders derisively called it — reflected the cultural hybrid that was Waterloo County. La classe d’allemand des e´coles publiques du comte´ de Waterloo, en Ontario, a braque´ le feu des projecteurs sur l’ethnicite´ locale de la re´gion et suscite´ des de´bats publics sur le sens a` donner a` la langue allemande et sur l’importance de celle-ci comme vecteur d’identite´ culturelle. Les leaders ethniques cherchaient ardemment a` pre´server la « purete´ » ancestrale de leur langue maternelle et a` stimu- ler l’inscription aux programmes d’enseignement de l’allemand. Or, les langues de l’ethnicite´ dans le comte´ de Waterloo n’e´taient pas assujetties a` la norme allemande dont les leaders ethniques cherchaient a` faire la seule expression le´gitime de la langue maternelle.

  • Ethnic Elites, Propaganda, Recruiting and Intelligence in German-Canadian Ontario, 1914-1918 by © Curtis B
    Ethnic Elites, Propaganda, Recruiting and Intelligence in German-Canadian Ontario, 1914-1918 by © Curtis B. Robinson a thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD History Memorial University of Newfoundland March 2019 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador A Special Dedication in Memory of two friends and mentors Dr. Darren Christopher Hynes 1963-2014 and Christine Watmore 1934-2016 ii Abstract This case study provides the basis for a potential linking of the work of Marxist intelligence historians and the disciples of the insecurity state thesis. The rise of “Reasoning otherwise” as described by Ian McKay, refers to the erosion of the liberal order on the part of Canadian socialists in the early part of the twentieth century. This process was speeded up in direct response to the wartime economy which through state intervention also saw the undermining of the liberal principles of free market economics and manpower management. The rise of the insecurity state was part of the state’s move away from the foundational liberal order. Ultimately the insecurity state’s existence depended upon the growth of industrial capitalism in Canada and directly related to the evolution in reasoning otherwise. It was in the heavily populated and ethnically diverse urban centres where state fears about the growth of unions and the spread of communist revolutionary ideas, as well as other causes of civil unrest, originated. It was these areas that warranted, in the eyes of the Department of Militia and Defence, the deployment of intelligence officers, watchers, and infiltrators.

  • Evidence from German-Canadian Family Papers Doris Stolberg
    Originally published in: Heegård Petersen, Jan/Kühl, Karoline (eds.): Selected Proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Immigrant Languages in the Americas (WILA 8). - Somerville, MA, USA: Cascadilla Proceedings Project, 2018. Pp. 96-102 Language Shift in Slow Motion: Evidence from German-Canadian Family Papers Doris Stolberg 1. Introduction* It is a frequent observation that migration is accompanied by language shift on the side of the migrating speakers. What has been reported recurringly is a language shift within three generations, from a monolingual command of the language of origin via bilingualism to monolingualism in the new majority language (Fishman 1964). The adequacy of this three generation pattern has been discussed controversely and differing patterns of language shift are reported for different speech communities; the shift itself, though, seems to be a solid reality.1 It becomes more obvious with detailed research, however, that the process and the timeline of language shift seem to depend on a range of different factors among which individual preferences play an equally important role as infrastructural and societal conditions. The current paper takes a closer look at individual language preferences in a historical immigration setting. The focus is on the shift from German to English as reflected in language choice in private written data. The data are derived from archival material from a family who migrated from Germany to North America in the 1840s and settled in southern Ontario in the 1860s. Investigating the data from the perspective of language preference, heritage language maintenance and language shift can help better understand how members of migrant communities make use of their language resources.

Coschi; McMaster University – History Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: From Wilhelm to Hans: Ethnicity, Citizenship, and the German Community of Berlin/Kitchener, Ontario, 1871-1970s AUTHOR: Mario Nathan Coschi, B.A. (University of Ottawa), M.A (Wilfrid Laurier University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Ruth Frager PAGES: vi, 344 ii Ph.D. Thesis – M.N. Coschi; McMaster University – History Abstract “From Wilhelm to Hans: Ethnicity, Citizenship, and the German Community of Berlin/Kitchener, Ontario, 1871-1970s,” examines how the ethnic elite, a group of politicians, businessmen, professionals, and leaders of cultural organizations defined German ethnicity. It argues that claiming a place for Germans as loyal Canadian citizens was central to how the ethnic elite defined German ethnicity. The ethnic elite, however, did not define German ethnicity in isolation. Rather, German ethnic identity was arrived at through the interaction between the ethnic group and the host society. In forums such as public celebrations, newspaper debates, politics, and business, immigrants and established Canadians negotiated their respective identities and their relationship to one another. This relationship was shaped by factors such as the two World Wars, Canada’s relationship with Britain, and Canadians’ changing attitudes towards race and racism.
