Well dorte, each study adds another block to the building of knowledge concerning the province, the nation, and indeed, possibly society generally. The research necessary to the writing of a local history frequen)ly , stimulates an interest in the preservation ot recorda whiah will benefit fUture 'historians. A great deal of legend gathers around the founding and growth of every community. It 1s impossible to ignore such local legend , though sagas and folk impressions need not be taken at face value. A local history il not a bare recital of faots, written with due regard to local oral tradition it bringe a fUller understanding of the "genius" of the community. In the writing ·of this history of Saskatoon primary and secondary, ollicial and unofficial sources of information were used. TPe chief pr1mary sources are the official publicatione and records of federal, provincial and municipal authorities. The Department of the Interior, Ottawa, has a complete .et of filel on the business relations of �he Temperance Coloniz- , ation Society with the Dominion Government. Considerable information on the early progress of the community fr9m origin up until the winding up of the Temperance Society's affaire is to be found in t�e annual reports' of the Inspector of Colonization Companies appearing in the Canadian Sessional Paper.. The North-West Territory Gazette and its successor, the Saskatchewan Gazette, give essential inro�tion concerning the appOintment of officials, the erection ot school districts and.the rise'in municipal stat�s. The information contained the of Saskatoon ot in City File, Departmen� Municipal Affairs, Regina is disapPOintingly meagre prior to 1914. The municipal records are fragmentary-for the period 1901 to 1906 but have been well maintained since the chartering of Saskatoon as a city in 1906. 11 In}addition to official sources there are the records of semi-otficial bodies, which are in part supported financially by the community. The Board ot Trade is one such body. The Minutes ot this organization are complete from its inception 1n 190,. The Records of the Saskatoon Industrial Exhibition, succe.lor to the Central Saskatchewan Agricultural Society, are not complete. The best acc�t of the development ot tairs in Saskatoon is contained in The Saskatoon Phenix. The Exhibition-Haryest Edition. August. 19141 Much ot the early story ot the community ha� been recorded 1n unotficia1 I • memoirs ot ·old.timer•• Personal interviews with otfioials and private citizens aotive in civic attair. contributed both tact and colour. The Records ot such unofficial bodies a8 the Saskatoon Trades and Labor Council, the various church bodies, and the local fraternal aesociations,'while incomplete, add further to the pool of information. The various newspapers pUblished in the city constitute a special aource. There 1s a continuous press record since 1902. Periodically, special editions have been devot ad to local history and to the atories of early settlers. The secondary �ources are not numerous. Little has been published on Saskatoon as a unit though there are some printed sources on various aspeots of Saskatoon history. The University has contributed to the knowledge of the geologic formations, the types of land, th& farming practices in the area. There are studies available on wild life in the district,. In addition· to these there are published articles on some institutions in the city and on personalities ot the city. This thesis was written as a general history of Saskatoon. Such a study • .. 1 well be the for fUrther 8tudi�s of may starting point particular lnstltutl�na or association. within the community. A general local history cannot include all the detailed story ot the city. It does,. however, set up a iil tramework of development within which may be traced in broad outline the growth ot government, some problems ot urban expansion, the increasing dynamio ot business, the integration of population and the rise ot a civic senae ot aocial responsibility. The gathering of materials tor this work was expedited by the ready co-operation of civic offic�als, particularly Andrew Leslie, Cit, Commissioner, James Ander.on, City Clerk, and John C. Oliver, City Treasurer, by the aid given by the statfs ot the university and City Libraries, and assietanoe . Alex Cameron the and other given by �t Star-Phoenlx.Statt many private. individuals.

The SIlskatchewan rher waa area and easy Souyh expected to provide a natural highway tor freight, the aite ot Saskatoon was chosen on this river, with an eye to future railway development. The failure of the "natural highway- retarded the early growth of the colony. The railway reached Saskatoon in 1890 during a drought cycle. The abundance ot water and native gra88 in the district made Saekatoon the logical ship­ ping centre for a ranching industry. The development of dry-farming technlqu�1 made the centre well known a.

  • Emergence Andevolution of Themétis Nation
    Emergence and Evolution of the Métis Nation Métis National Council September 2019 People of mixed ancestry appeared in eastern Canada soon after initial contact between Indians and Europeans. With large-scale European immigration and agricultural settlement in eastern Canada, these people of mixedBy ancestry President were generally Clément absorbed into Chartier, the settler or QCIndian populations. It was on the isolated Métisplains of westernNational North AmericaCouncil during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that people of mixed ancestry emerged as a new and distinct people and nation. TheINVESTING fur trade companies operating IN ABORIGINAL in this territory - the Hudson’s CANADA Bay Company 2014 and! the North West Company - had a common interest in blocking agricultural settlement and large-scale immigration onto the westernOttawa,ON plains from! the British colonies to the east. December 9, 2014! Hence, the mixed offspring of French fur traders from the North West Company or Scottish fur traders from the Hudson’s Bay Company1 and their Cree, Ojibwe, or Dene wives formed an ever- increasing proportion of the fur trade population. As the numbers of the mixed offspring grew and married among themselves, they developed a new culture, neither European nor Indian, but a fusion of the two. Thus, the Métis people emerged. 4 Emergence and Evolution of the Métis Nation Their Michif language mixed the French, Cree, and Ojibwe languages. Their dance form combined the reels of Scotland with the intricate steps of Plains Indians. Their dress, as can be seen in this photo, was semi-European, semi- Indian in style but of European cut and was often decorated with glass beads and quills.

  • Background Report South Saskatchewan River Watershed
    September, 2007 Saskatchewan Watershed Authority Background Report South Saskatchewan River Watershed Executive Summary The purpose of the Background Report is to provide information on the physical, social and economical characteristics of the South Saskatchewan River Watershed and assist in the formulation of a Watershed Management Plan. This Plan will identify issues and interests to source waters and provide strategies for the South Saskatchewan River Watershed to address these issues and interests. The management and protection of water resources for the benefit of Saskatchewan residents is best served when stakeholders work together and commit to actions that support a common goal. Watershed planning is an ongoing process established by open communication between stakeholders conducted at round-table discussions within various communities. The planning process normally takes between two to three years, depending on watershed complexity. The Plan will focus on source water protection and contain information such as the Background Report of the watershed, analysis of issues and perceived threats, commitment to action, timelines and responsibilities, a measure of results and an evaluation of effort. Acknowledgements The development of the Background Report would not be possible without all the hard work and dedication from the Technical Committee members and their agencies. Special thanks to Kristin Walker, Saskatchewan Watershed Authority, for helping edit and format the Background Report.

    arts &SCIENCEUNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN SPRING 2013 Stories From a Shipwreck Butch Amundson leads the search for the SS City of Medicine Hat Idle No More Meet the movement’s co-founder, Sheelah McLean ALUMNI OF INFLUENCE EDITION 1 arts&SCIENCE MAGAZINE To our readers Welcome to the expanded and, we hope, improved Arts&Science. Five years ago we launched the first issue with a mandate to inform you about the successes, priorities, research, news and events of the College of Arts & Science. Later that year, we began work on another new magazine aimed at our alumni called DiversitA&S. We decided it was time we ask our readers what they thought about both magazines. With help from University Advancement, two surveys went out to Arts&Science and DiversitA&S readers in 2012. Your responses were both helpful and enlightening. We were happy to discover that most of you agree with this statement: “The maga- zine strengthens my connection to the College of Arts Science.” We learned that many of our alumni enjoy reading about the history and traditions of the college, would like to see more campus news and definitely disliked the magazine’s name, DiverisitA&S. We also found out that readers of Arts&Science would like to see more fea- tures on new initiatives, profiles on alumni and opinion pieces on “hot topics.” In response to this information, we have combined the two magazines into one, called Arts&Science. The magazine, which covers faculty, students, alumni and staff of the College of Arts & Science, will be pub- lished twice yearly.

  • Construction and Post-Construction Deformation Analysis of an MSE Wall Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Finite Element Model
    Construction and Post-Construction Deformation Analysis of an MSE Wall using Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Finite Element Modelling by Devon Joseph Adamson A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Science Department of Civil Engineering University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2020 by Devon Joseph Adamson Abstract Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a new technology surveying tool that can collect highly accurate cartesian coordinates of data points surrounding the scanner in a 360° field of view. This technology can be useful in the field of monitoring heavy civil structures, in the case of this research, the settlement of bride interchange abutments. Two bridge abutments were monitored with TLS, designed with Cast-In-Place (CIP) belled piles and Mechanically-Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls with a segmented precast concrete panel facing system. The foundation was further reinforced with vibration-compacted rockfill columns supporting the approach embankments, which increased the stiffness of the soil and acted as drains to dissipate pore water pressure. The wall facing panels had discernable edges that could easily be identified by the scanner, allowing for a total wall survey rather than the limited discrete location surveying used by traditional methods. Multiple scan surveys were taken along each wall face and were registered together to create a larger Project Point Cloud (PPC). Once PPCs were collected for successive survey dates, point clouds were aligned in the same coordinate system and relative movement was measured. These measurements were then compared against the surveying performed on site by the contractor to observe discrepancies in measured readings.
