    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

    21869-03 Beaton-Muise Article.qxd:Book - Master Setup 12/18/08 1:39 PM Page 39 The Canso Causeway: Tartan Tourism, Industrial Development, and the Promise of Progress for Cape Breton MEAGHAN BEATON and DEL MUISE Cet article évalue la conceptualisation, la construction et la mythologisation de la chaussée de Canso, un important projet de reconstruction réalisé après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui a permis de relier la partie continentale de la Nouvelle-Écosse et le Cap-Breton en 1955. Réclamée pour aider à améliorer les perspectives décroissantes des industries du charbon et de l’acier du Cap-Breton, la chaussée a aussi eu un impact immense en élevant le tourisme au rang d’une industrie viable, le Cap-Breton étant une communauté écossaise traditionnelle et désormais accessible. Le tourisme et l’expansion industrielle ont été étroitement liés à un important changement de cap des politiques du gouvernement fédéral, qui a alors commencé à assumer un rôle plus interventionniste dans la planification du développement économique régional, ce qui leur a été profitable. This article assesses the conceptualization, construction, and mythologizing of the Canso Causeway, a major post-Second World War reconstruction project that joined mainland Nova Scotia to Cape Breton Island in 1955. Sought after in order to help improve the waning prospects of Cape Breton’s coal and steel industries, the causeway also had a tremendous impact on increasing tourism as a viable industry based on Cape Breton as a traditional but accessible Scottish community. Both tourism and industrial expansion were closely tied to and benefited from a significant policy shift as the federal government began to assume a more interventionist role in regional economic development planning.

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
