    Government Approaches to Child Neglect and Mistreatment in Nineteenth-century Ontario CHARLOTTE NEFF* In 1893 Ontario introduced its first comprehensive child protection system. The concept of neglect and the assumption of societal and governmental responsibility for disadvantaged children was not new, however; it had evolved during Ontario’s first century. By 1874 legislation provided a detailed and sophisticated description of children in need of protection and of deficient parents; a process for removing children from their parents and the authority to refuse their return; a new type of institution to care for these children; systematic government grants for children’s homes and their accountability to the state; and simpler incorporation by which charitable institutions could assume the authority they needed over children in their care. Ontario’s child protection system was thus built on a firm foundation. En 1893, l’Ontario a mis sur pied son premier syste`me complet de protection de l’enfance. La notion de ne´gligence et la pre´somption de responsabilite´ sociale et gouvernementale a` l’endroit des enfants de´favorise´s n’e´taient toutefois pas nou- velles, ayant e´volue´ durant le premier sie`cle d’existence de l’Ontario. En 1874, la le´gislation donnait une description claire et pre´cise de ce qu’e´tait un enfant ayant besoin de protection et un parent de´ficient et pre´voyait : un processus permettant de soustraire les enfants a` leurs parents et l’autorite´ de refuser de les leur rendre; un nouveau type d’e´tablissements pour s’occuper de ces enfants; des subventions gouvernementales syste´matiques pour les foyers pour enfants et l’obligation de ces maisons de rendre des comptes a` l’E´ tat; et un processus de constitution en personne morale plus simple permettant aux œuvres de bienfaisance d’exercer sur les enfants a` leur charge l’autorite´ dont elles avaient besoin.

  • Nothing “Improper” Happened: Sex, Marriage, and Colonial Identity in Upper Canada, 1783-1850
    NOTHING “IMPROPER” HAPPENED: SEX, MARRIAGE, AND COLONIAL IDENTITY IN UPPER CANADA, 1783-1850 by Robin Christine Grazley A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada June, 2010 Copyright © Robin Christine Grazley, 2010 Abstract This study explores the importance of heterosexual relationships, in theory and practice, to the making of Upper Canada as a British colonial society. Between 1783, when settlers began to enter the territory in the wake of the American Revolutionary War, and 1850, when the transition toward a more powerful colonial state was underway, contests surrounding marriage, gender, and sexuality were of great significance. The colony was intended by its first and many of its subsequent Lieutenant-Governors to serve as a model of loyalty to the British Empire and a bulwark against American democratic “disorder.” Fundamental to this colonial project was the presence of an orderly body of white settlers; however, this aim was often complicated and undermined by a diverse settler population which refused to conform to middle-class mores and social norms. Marriage and sexual “morality,” significant aspects of assessing “race” and “civilization” in this period, were primary sites for these tensions. This study reenvisions appropriate and inappropriate heterosexual behaviour in the colony and explores the importance of debates over marriage and sexuality to articulations of settler identity. Using private writings, travel literature, and judicial records, including the benchbooks of the colony’s judges, I examine the ways the formation and dissolution of intimate relationships were contested between individual colonists, in local politics, and in international discourse about the British empire and the value of its colonies of settlement.

  • Upper Canada – 1783 to 1791 P
    Weights and Measures In Pre-Confederation Canada There are many items from the past that have interested collectors. Most of them try to discover more information about the objects that they collect. In my case an interest in early measures began with a few old copper examples that were purchased at farm auctions in the 1970s. Most had marks impressed into the metal that obviously had some purpose. There was nothing in the books I consulted that explained what those marks meant, so my search for information turned to other sources in local museums, libraries and archives. Although weights and measures had important functions in early trade with other countries, they were most important in the town markets where local farmers and fledgling industries could sell their produce. When laws changed, these measures became obsolete and the metal, usually copper for measures or brass for weights, was used for other purposes. That explains why so few examples are found today. Measuring systems were common to all early societies. Indigenous people had thousands of years of their own systems.* All were based on simple ideas. Liquids could be held in containers of certain agreed-upon sizes. The mass of an item could be identified by its weight. Distances were easily described by reference to footsteps or length of arms or feet. No matter what the unit was, there was a need for a society’s agreement on these basic ideas. Eventually, rules that regulated such systems were devised and made official by the community’s authorities. The earliest colonial governments brought their trading methods to the new world.

  • Historically Speaking
    Historically Speaking The Newsletter of the Cobourg and District Historical Society May 2021 ― Issue 323 The History of the ACO and Why it Matters On May 25 Diane Chin will be telling the story of the founding of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) organization and its relationship to Barnum House in Grafton including the history of Barnum House itself. While putting this presentation together she came across a mystery yet to be solved about the founding of the Cobourg Branch of ACO. Perhaps one of the attendees can shed light on what happened to one of Cobourg’s oldest buildings and more importantly to the person who organized this building’s move. Our speaker will also touch on legislative aspects of Heritage Conservation and the many recent threats that are now upon us. And you thought COVID was our only problem! Diane Chin moved to Cobourg in 2013. She grew up in the Beaches in Toronto so an eastward move to another lakeside community, populated by historic heritage homes was a natural fit. Diane is a former high school teacher, school librarian, principal and real estate agent. She also spent many summers working for the Ontario Government including one working as a Park Naturalist at Presqu’ile. Currently, Diane is also on the Executive of the Victoria Hall Volunteers and is our Program Director. She is also a member of the Cobourg Horticultural Society, the Canadian Federation of University Women and the Willow Beach Field Naturalists. Diane is currently the Vice-Chair of ACO Ontario. All CDHS members are invited to join us electronically on Tuesday, May 25 at 07:30 PM.
