Names for Notes of Ingonish and Its People Vol. IV NOTES OF INGONISH AND ITS PEOPLE INGONISH FERRY VOL. IV WRITTEN BY MARY HELEN DOUCETTE TRANSCRIBED AND INDEXED BY TOM BREWER 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction .........................3 Mary Helen Doucette ......................4 1966 .............................5 1967 ............................ 51 1968 ............................ 87 1969 ............................128 1970 ............................177 INDEX OF NAMES .......................191 2 Introduction This is the fourth and final volume of Notes of Ingonish and Its People. These Notes of Ingonish and Its People were originally a number of large scrapbooks. These scrapbooks are located in the Archives Room at the Cabot High School in Neil's Harbour. They contain newspaper articles about Ingonish that were written and collected by Mary Helen Doucette. I have transcribed these articles and indexed the books so looking for a certain name would be much easier. The original clippings contained the month and day of the article, I have added and underlined the year to each of the articles as they appeared in the scrapbooks. Most of the articles had a title, the titles, punctuation and spelling were transcribed as they appeared in the scrapbooks. I hope you will enjoy reading these notes of Ingonish and its people. If you would like more information on the families of Ingonish, or would like to add your information to the bank of information I have gathered, I would appreciate hearing from you. A special word of thanks to Mrs. Barbara Martel, Lark Szick and Mrs. Louise Brewer who helped in the transcribing of these articles. Tom Brewer 4456 Hunt Club Cres.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Green Cove MEKS Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) for Parks Canada for the proposed Never Forgotten National Memorial Complex (NFNMC) Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

    CANADA Nova Scotia: Cape Breton Island A Self-Guided Walking Adventure Table of Contents Daily Itinerary ........................................................................... 4 Itinerary Overview .................................................................. 11 Tour Facts at a Glance ........................................................... 13 Traveling To and From Your Tour .......................................... 15 Information & Policies ............................................................ 17 800.464.9255 / countrywalkers.com 2 © 2016 Otago, LLC dba Country Walkers Travel Style Our Self-Guided Walking Adventures are ideal for travelers with an independent spirit who enjoy exploring at their own pace. We provide authentic accommodations, some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview Below the windswept headlands of Cape Breton Island, the iconic Cabot Trail hugs Nova Scotia’s coast in a scrollwork of switchbacks and swooping curves. Beyond it, the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a wash of vivid blue dotted with fishing boats and the occasional breaching whale. This is the Nova Scotia you’ve always imagined: a land of bald eagles, wild blueberries, foraging moose, and 350-year- old sugar maples. Here, you can experience sleepy villages steeped in Scottish and Acadian history: savoring traditional fiddlers, crofters’ cottages, and historic distilleries. With the freedom to set your own schedule—and your own vehicle to take you from place to place—you can experience unforgettable walks in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, soak in the view from the top of Burnt Mountain, and perhaps even go for a refreshing swim in Bras d’Or Lake.
