  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century

    The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century

    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.
  • Norway House

    Norway House

    Norway House Economic Opportunity and The Rise of Community 1825-1844 James McKillip Norway House Economic Opportunity and The Rise of Community 1825-1844 James McKillip Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © James McKillip, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the Hudson’s Bay Company depot that was built at Norway House beginning in 1825 created economic opportunities that were sufficiently strong to draw Aboriginal people to the site in such numbers that, within a decade of its establishment, the post was the locus of a thriving community. This was in spite of the lack of any significant trade in furs, in spite of the absence of an existing Aboriginal community on which to expand and in spite of the very small number of Hudson’s Bay Company personnel assigned to the post on a permanent basis. Although economic factors were not the only reason for the development of Norway House as a community, these factors were almost certainly primus inter pares of the various influences in that development. This study also offers a new framework for the conception and construction of community based on documenting day-to-day activities that were themselves behavioural reflections of intentionality and choice. Interpretation of these behaviours is possible by combining a variety of approaches and methodologies, some qualitative and some quantitative. By closely counting and analyzing data in archival records that were collected by fur trade agents in the course of their normal duties, it is possible to measure the importance of various activities such as construction, fishing and hunting.

    The Red Ensign, Dominion Day, and the Effects of Patriotic Memory on the Canadian Flag Debate

    “But It Was Ours”: The Red Ensign, Dominion Day, and the Effects of Patriotic Memory on the Canadian Flag Debate Hugh L. Brady On the morning of 15 February 1965—a day designated by Her Majesty the Queen of Canada in her proclamation—a crowd of roughly ten thousand Canadians gathered in front of a specially constructed flagpole erected before the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.1 The Canadian Red Ensign flew from the flagpole on this chilly, snow-covered day—but not for long; the crowd was assembled to see the flag’s retirement and the raising of its successor.2 That morning, the Montreal Gazette called for understanding the viewpoint of those who will feel a pang in the heart at the coming down of the Red Ensign . they feel this regret not simply because it stood for old ties of kith and kin. For them it has had the broader meanings of the legacy: it was the symbol of freedom, of the rule of law, of the heritage of parliamentary democracy, of the standards of good sense and moderation, of the spirit of courage and service. All these are values not narrow and divisive, but the rich inheritance for the human spirit, the values to be clung to, as long ago proved and always needed.3 Inside, some 600 dignitaries gathered for a “simple and solemn” ceremony designed to bury the passions enflamed during the flag debate of the preceding year that ended with Parliament adopting the Maple Leaf Flag to replace the Red Ensign as the flag of Canada.4 The battle over the new flag pitted two titans of twentieth-century Canadian politics against each other: Lester Pearson, the Liberal prime minister and proponent of a new flag, against John Diefenbaker, Raven, Vol.

Native people, who lived in these spaces where the Europeans travelled and settled, saw the world through their own eyes. But what did these groups see? This paper discusses changing representations of lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulves­ cens), noting differences in the stories and images presented by Native and non-Native people. Les discussions sur les paysages du Nord de l'Ontario et du Manitoba retrouvees dans les anciens recits des marchands de I'epoque decrivent un pays riche en ressources naturelles. Les peuples autochtones qui vivaient dans ces grands espaces, visites et colonises par les Europeens, percevaient ce pays bien differemment.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

  • ICAO 1955 Covers - the Canadian Patriotic Effort

    ICAO 1955 Covers - the Canadian Patriotic Effort

    ICAO TIE-INS By Albert Pelsser ICAO 1955 Covers - The Canadian Patriotic Effort Some of the Canadian private first day covers issued in 1955 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provide remarkable material on the evolution of the Coat of Arms used in Canada over the past one hundred years. The coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on a shield, which forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement consisting of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. The design is a symbol unique to an individual person or family, corporation, or state. Since 1921, the official coat of arms of the Canadian monarch and thus also of Canada is known as the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada. It is closely modelled after the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom with French and distinctive Canadian elements replacing or added to those derived from the British version. Prior to Confederation, no armorial bearings had been assigned to Figure 1: First Canadian flag after the various colonies in British North America, with the exception Confederation of the seventeenth-century grants to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Nevertheless, each colony possessed a great seal which contained distinctive emblematic devices. The Confederation of Canada was created in 1867 by an Act of the British Parliament and given Royal Assent by Queen Victoria. Former flag of Canada used by the federal government (though it was never officially adopted by the Parliament of Canada), the Red Ensign bearing some sort of a Canadian emblem was used by Canadians both on land and at sea beginning as early as 1868, as it was informally adopted following Canadian Confederation.
