Outline Map of Ontario Showing Locction of Lennox and Addington County 6 THE SOIL SURVEY OF THE COUNTY OF LENNOX AND ADDINGTON INTRODUCTION The soil survey of Lennox and Addington County was begun in 1952 with the object of making an inventory of the soil resources of the county. This included the mapping of the various soils and gathering information about their characteristics from which to estimate their adaptability and use in the growing of agricultural crops. The following report gives the characteristics of each soil as well as infor- mation concerning the best management practices for crop production. Those who desire soils information about. a certain area should locate the area on the map, note the colour or colours and the indicated map symbol and use the key to determine the soil type or types involved. Description of these types may then be found in the report. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA Location and Size The location of the county within the Province is shown in Figure 1. It borders on Lake Ontario, and is bounded on the west by Hastings County and on the east by Frontenac County. The area of the county is approximately 748,654 acres.* The county is about ‘77 miles long and varies in width from 8 miles to 26 miles. County Seat and Principal Towns The county seat is Napanee, (population 4,500**). Several small villages in the county serve as marketing and distribution centres for some of the agri- cultural produce from adjacent farms. Among these are Bath, Odessa, New- burgh, Tamworth, Erinsville and Enterprise. Population The total population of the county is 23,717 **. This represents an increase of 4,170 persons in the ten year period between 1951 and 1961. The most spec- tacular increase is in the township of Ernestown which had a population in- crease of about 30 per cent in the five-year period. Most of the increase was due to industrial growth. Some northern townships and Amherst Island and Adolphustown, have had a decrease in population. *Census of Canada 1961 **Census of Canada 1961. Agricultural Development The first settlement in Lennox and Addington County commenced in 1874 with the arrival of a large number of United Empire Loyalists who settled in the front townships of Ernestown, Fredericksburg and Adolphustown. * Amherst Island was originally part of the Seigniory of La Salle. Later it was owned by Sir John Johnson who, according to legend, obtained it from an Indian chief in exchange for his full dress gold braided frock. Thus private ownership delayed the settlement of Amherst Island until 1803 when some United Empire Loyalists left Ernestown township and took up land on the eastern part of the Island. Shortly afterwards, Irish immigrants commenced the settlement of the western end of the Island. A large scale immigration from the British Isles and the Continent resulted in rapid settlement of Richmond and Camden Townships soon after the turn of the 19th century. Two sons of Elias Huffman, whose farm was in Richmond Township, left home in 1825 with a few days rations to locate farms for them- selves and took up land in an uninhabited region which is now in the Moscow area. The first settlers to locate in Denbigh Township arrived in 1858. The

  • Members to Vote on Bylaw Change That Realign RNAO's Chapter Boundaries
    Members to vote on bylaw change that realign RNAO’s chapter boundaries t a meeting of RNAO’s board of directors held Feb. 22, 2020, and following consultation with members at the Feb. 21, 2020 assembly meeting, a motion was passed to approve a proposed amendment to ABylaw 3.0. The board proposal would alter chapter and region boundaries so they follow boundaries of Ontario’s provincial electoral ridings. The proposed change is designed to better position how RNAO’s membership is organized geographically across the province with the political activities of the association. Ontario changed its riding boundaries ahead of the 2018 provincial election so its ridings were more closely aligned with federal ridings, which changed for the 2015 federal election. The board believes the proposed change would continue to foster and strengthen relationships members and chapter executives, in particular, have created with MPPs and MPs and facilitate future political action at the municipal level where responsibility for so many issues related to determinants of health lies. Currently, ridings in some chapters crossover into neighbouring chapters, which can lead to confusion and splits responsibility for organizing political action events among chapters. Realigning chapters would also provide members with the opportunity to create stronger relationships with their community leaders and local media. Under the proposed amendment, no new regions would be created; however, chapter boundary changes will have implications for region boundaries thereby triggering the need for the bylaw change. Four new chapters would be created: York East, York West, Mississauga and Brampton. The proposed realignment would add four consultation representatives to RNAO’s network of voting delegates.
