  • Detroit Heritage River Nomination Report
    Nomination of the Detroit River Submission Requirements This document sets out the criteria of the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board (CHRS) for the nomination of the Detroit River as a Heritage River within the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS). The CHRS is the vehicle by which the nominating agency identifies the heritage significance of a river and justifies its inclusion in the CHRS. The purpose of this format is to act as a guide to nominating agencies and to provide consistency in the nomination process. CHRS provides an opportunity for the recognition and conservation of rivers deemed to be of outstanding Canadian heritage value. This value is obtained when it has been determined that a river is an outstanding representative of or unique in a province or territory. By the inclusion of such rivers in a single coast-to-coast system, they become representative of Canada’s river heritage as a whole, thus reflecting a “Canadian value”. 1 Nomination of the Detroit River Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) has been established by the federal, provincial and territorial governments to recognize outstanding rivers of Canada and ensuring management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for the long term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. To qualify for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, a river or section of a river must be of outstanding significance in one or more areas: natural heritage, human heritage, or recreational values. The nominated section should be large enough to encompass these values and provide the user with an appreciation of the river’s resources, as well as an enjoyable recreational experience.

  • Hiram Walker & Sons
    Hiram Walker & Sons Hiram Walker & Sons is Ontario’s sole “grain-to-glass” distillery. The company produces Vodka, Rum and Canadian Whisky. Headquarters 2072 Riverside Drive E, Windsor, Ontario, N8Y 4S5 Year Established 1858 NAICS 312140 - Distilleries Employees 300 Major Expansions 1935 Exports US, EU, Australia Parent Company Pernod Ricard S.A. Other Locations Corporate Headquarters - Toronto The Hiram Walker & Sons Limited (Hiram Walker) facility sprawls along the bank of the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario. From this site, the company has produced Canadian whisky for over 150 years, growing to become North America’s largest beverage distillery. Hiram Walker is the only “grain to glass” manufacturer in Ontario. The company’s history can be traced back to 1857, when Hiram Walker, an American entrepreneur, opened a distilling plant in Windsor. Walker first started his business as a grain merchant. Millers and farmers brought their grains to him to mill, and paid for the service with a percentage of those grains. With this extensive access to grain, Walker was able to convert the excess into alcohol and store the product in wooden barrels. When the barrels were opened two years later, Walker found the flavour had changed significantly. He decided to experiment with the aging process to create a consistent product, and Hiram Walker & Sons was incorporated. Over time, Walker’s vision shaped the distillery industry in Canada, and even led to the development of a model town in Windsor for the company’s employees (Walkerville). With its reputation for quality and consistent flavour, Hiram Walker whisky began to be sold in the U.S.

On behalf of the volunteers and staff of CJAM allow me to welcome you to Windsor! Canada’s motor city is far more than factories and casinos, and I hope the week you spend here will leave you with a more honest impression of the unique culture and people that populate this distinct border community. Since throwing our hat in the ring at last year’s NCRC in Vancouver, the staff and volunteers that comprise our planning committee have been work- ing our collective duffs off in an attempt to at least match the unmitigated success that was NCRC ‘07. I knew it would take an incredible group effort to pull it off, and I want to thank the fantastic efforts of our committee members! We wanted to host this year to help celebrate our 25th year of FM broadcasting, and we’re excited to be able to commemorate this milestone with you, our valued friends and peers from across the country. It’s difficult to accommodate the various workshops that are the bread and butter of our sector while put- ting a distinctive stamp on each edition of the confer- ence.
