Sportswea.r- Second Floor Y E AR BOOK 1959-1960 5 E D IT OR IAL t'iii""HIS SIXTEENTH ISSUE of the Year Book marks an important ~ milestone in the history of the Ottawa Ski Club--its Golden Anniversary-and Clair Forster has designed an a'Ppropriate cover for the occasion. You have a new editor this year, one with no previous experience in the field, who was pressed into duty by a desperate executive. VVith the loss of Jim Patrick, founder and editor of the Book for the past fifteen years, no suitable and willing candidate for the job he did so conscientiously could be found. Your directors seriously considered dis­ continuing publicati•on but the 50th Anniversary of· the founding of the Club seemed to· demand at least one more edition. The job does not seem too painful in retrospect but there were times when I felt that "an editor's lot is not a happy one". When I accepted the position I extracted a promise from your directors that there would be no procrasination a'bout submitting their reports. They assured me that all I would be required to do was collect the reports and articles in a neat bundle and take them over to the printers sometime in November. This was an understatement and my advice to prospective editors is to have a chat with the Collector of Income Tax. He has a quietly efficient way of getting his copy in. With the club bourgeoning under the enthusiasm of the last five years it is small wonder that President McHugh has difficulty in containing the satisfaction he takes in the club's progress. In its usual place near the front of the book you will find Jim Patrick's last diary which ended on February 1. Following the diary is the tribute to Jim, written by Bert Marshall, Past President of the Club. It indicates our loss in his death and an appreciation of his contribution to the Club's development over the years. Bud Clark, one of our most illustrious sons, a member of two Olympic Ski Teams and Past President of the Canadian Amateur Ski Association, traces the part the O.S.C. has played in the C.A.S.A. and the development of skiing in Canada. Ferdie Chapman, industrious Director of Trails, gives a short account of a •big year's work in co-o·peration with the Trail Riders. John Brown, Captain of the Trail Riders, bursts into poetry and then settles down to the more mundane task of describing the efforts of these hard working young men. Harmon Cahill, for many .years an indefatigable trail blazer, was persuaded to tell us something about the trails which radiate out from Camp Fortune. Mr. F. W. "B-iii" Baker, the Weatherman, flips through his rec?rds and leads us on a folksy review of the past winter's cussedness. Sk1e_rs can take comfort that he only records the weather. If he could caii 1t we would be picking roses in February. 6 OTTAWA SKI CLUB • ~··~• ~··~· ~·•i>0• C.O•A•i4>• ~··~· W• ·~· M• •><b<• Ml·~·•i>V• -~..M>'o!>~~ ~ e ~ : ~ . ~ . ~ . ~ : i IN OTTAWA : ~ . 0 • ~ IT'S OGIL VY'S : ~ . 0 ~ "-' . % SPORTSMAN'S : (!) . ~ 0 . <\-> . ~ LODGE . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 for a .• ~ . ~ complete . ~. selection of . ski . equipment .

YEAR B OOK 195 9 -1960 1 In Fifty Years Young- your editor attempts to pick out some of the highlights in the history of the club. T£ Mort or Joe Morin were still around this would not have been too difficult, but in the absence of much in the way of printed records the memory of old-timers can be a bit shakv. Gary Perkins, Director of Ski Patrols, reports on the bumper year his group had. However, if you have to get hurt skiing you couldn't choose a better place than the Camp Fortune Area. You don't need an appointment-Gary's people are always ready to give you personal attention. Still on the subject of injuries, you will find an analysis of the effectiveness of release bindings by the editor. Increasing concern over the toll of skiing injuries caused me to do some research last summer. I was tremendously encouraged to fincl how effeCtive properly adjusted safety bindings can be. Much of the time I was working on this article the temperature stood at 90•. · The report on the Midget Ski Program indicates that 1959 was the biggest year for the youngsters. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish cause from effect but the present great era of the club-a membershjp increase from 2,500 to 7.800 in four years--certainly coincides with the expanded pro_gram for children. Besides carrying out an instruction and racing program. the instructors of the Midget Ski School ran a ski exchange at Camp Fortune for two week-ends in the fall. Some $1,200 worth of skis, boots, poles and clothing changed hands. No charge was made for this service. The popularity of the "Trading Post" has encouraged us to hold it annually. In a lighter vein I have described the "daring" racing of the "has beens'' and "never weres". This ·bids fair to run second only to midget competition in popularity. If time trials on a standard course becomes an actuality this winter there will be plenty of opportunity for the less serious racers. John Clifford's account of how $100,000 will be spent on further developments at Fortune should satisfy , the most sceptical that his membership fees are not being frittered away. Thanks to the imagination and courage of people like John and Ron Leffler, our Vice-President, we have what is probably the greatest ski club in the world. Franz Baier, who has been selected as Olympic Jumping Coach, gives us his account of last winter's jumping and plans for the future. John Clifford and John Blair have gathered together the results of last year's competitions in a report on the competitive season. We again hear from Jessie Fear on square dances and ladies' activities. • *• 10 OTT AWA SKI CLUB .~------------------ -- -··~ Ckalet CARIBOU c(odge 4miles from the north side of MONT TREMBLANT LAC SUPERIEUR, P.Q. .----- --- Phone: ST.

  • 2.2 Ancient History of the Lower Ottawa River Valley
    INTRODUCTION 16 2.2 Ancient History of the Lower Ottawa River Valley Dr Jean‐Luc Pilon Curator of Ontario Archaeology Canadian Museum of Civilization 2.2.1 Archaeology in the Ottawa Valley The following discussion surrounding the ancient history of the Ottawa Valley does not attempt to present a full picture of its lengthy past. The Ottawa Valley contains literally thousands of archaeological sites, and to date only a handful have been studied by archaeologists. Still fewer of these have been properly published. Consequently, any reconstruction of the region’s ancient history is based on preliminary interpretations and a few more certain findings. The purpose of this summary is to provide a first blush of the richness of the Ottawa Valley’s pre‐contact past without labouring the discussion with details. The history of archaeological investigation of the ancient history of the Ottawa River Valley, and in particular, the stretch of river downstream of the Mattawa River, has been influenced by several historical factors. For nearly 150 years, there has been a national historical institution located within the city of Ottawa. Paradoxically, since it is a national, and not regional institution, its scholars have generally worked outside of the region. Another factor which has affected the level of interest in the pre‐contact ancient history of the region is the nature of the lifestyles of the peoples in the region who were relatively mobile hunter/gatherer groups, leaving few visible remains attesting to their life and times. However, as will be seen below, this situation is far from a hard fast rule.

  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

  • The Plan for Canada's Capital
    Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.

Ottawa: 30th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA, 2017. Pp. 320. The 30th Field Artillery Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery has a long, distinguished and colourful history. It now, thanks to Ken Reynolds and his talented colleagues, also has a regimental history fully worthy of its many accomplishments. The regiment is affectionately known as “the Bytown Gunners,” a tribute to its hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. This new history is appropriately titled The Bytown Gunners: The History of Ottawa’s Artillery, 1855-2015. The 30th Field Artillery Regiment itself dates back to 1905 when it was formed as the 8th Brigade of Field Artillery. Artillery brigades became artillery regiments during the Second World War, and the designation 30th was acquired in 1946 following the post-war reorganisation of the Canadian Army.
