  • The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey
    The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey Shifflett A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Geoffrey Shifflett 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken together, they provide insight into the origin and evolution of the meanings attached to tourist destinations in the Canadian Shield. The Muskoka Lakes region provides the venue in which continuity and change in each of these elements of the tourism landscape are explored. This dissertation uses previously underutilized primary source materials ranging from hotel ledgers, financial reports, personal correspondence, period brochures, guidebooks, and contemporary newspaper articles to reconstruct the Muskoka tourist experience over an extended period of time. The volume of literature pertaining to American tourism history significantly outweighs similar work conducted on Canadian destinations. This dissertation, therefore, begins with an overview of key works related to the historical development of tourism in the United States followed by a survey of corresponding Canadian literature. The lack of an analytical structure in many tourist historical works is identified as a methodological gap in the literature.

In Quebec the area of public lands subdivided and unsold on June 30, 1919, was 6,330,751 acres. During the year ended June 30, 1920, 157,682 acres were surveyed; 120,761 acres reverted to the Crown and 87,216 acres were acquired through exchanges; 197,410 acres were sold, the receipts, including arrears, being $146,398. Adding to the acreage available at June 30, 1919, the areas surveyed and the areas that reverted and deducting sales and grants, there remained subdivided and unsold on June 30, 1920, 6,499,000 acres. Agricul­ tural lands in 100 acre lots are available for settlement upon prescribed conditions at the price of 60 cents per acre.

  • 2016 Parry Sound/Muskoka IRRP
    PARRY SOUND / MUSKOKA SUB-REGION INTEGRATED REGIONAL RESOURCE PLAN Part of the South Georgian Bay/Muskoka Planning Region | December 16, 2016 Integrated Regional Resource Plan Parry Sound/Muskoka This Integrated Regional Resource Plan (“IRRP”) was prepared by the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”) pursuant to the terms of its Ontario Energy Board electricity licence, EI-2013-0066. This IRRP was prepared on behalf of the Parry Sound/Muskoka Sub-region Working Group (the “Working Group”), which included the following members: • Independent Electricity System Operator • Hydro One Networks Inc. (Distribution) • Hydro One Networks Inc. (Transmission) • Lakeland Power Distribution Ltd. • Midland Power Utility Corporation • Newmarket-Tay Power Distribution Ltd. • Orillia Power Distribution Corporation • PowerStream Inc. • Veridian Connections Inc. The Working Group assessed the reliability of electricity supply to customers in the Parry Sound/Muskoka Sub-region over a 20-year period; developed a flexible, comprehensive, integrated plan that considers opportunities for coordination in anticipation of potential demand growth scenarios and varying supply conditions in the Parry Sound/Muskoka Sub- region; and developed recommended actions, while maintaining flexibility in order to accommodate changes in key assumptions over time. The Working Group members agree with the IRRP’s recommendations and support implementation of the plan, subject to obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and appropriate community consultations.

  • Resource Guide Muskoka Part 4
    Vesta Resource Guide Muskoka Now What: How to Help www.VestaSIT.com Now What: How to Help 1. Listen to her. If you’re reading this guide there’s likely someone you’re worried about. The most important thing you can do is make sure she knows that you love and support her. To the outsider looking in, it can be hard to understand why she doesn't just leave. It's important to remember that gender-based violence often includes emotional manipulation, threats, and violence that can get worse when she tries to leave. Don't forget that it's hard to leave someone you love, even if they treat you badly. What You Can Do With your friends, form a circle of support around her. It's everyone's job to make sure she knows you are all there for her, ready to listen, and without judgement. If she wants to talk, it's important that you listen to her, believe her, and above all, don't judge her or her decisions. Page 1 Now What: How to Help Here is a quick list of Do’s and Don’ts: DO 1. Listen if she wants to talk. Don’t judge and don’t offer solutions. Just listen closely and BELIEVE HER. “I believe you.” “Thank you for telling me. I know this is hard to talk about.” 2. Tell her that you love and support her. Whatever she wants to do (or not do), you support her decision. “There’s nothing you did (or didn’t do) that makes this your fault.” “I hear you and I totally support you.” 3.

  • Public Health Reports
    PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS. UNITED STATES. [Reports to the Surgeon-General United States Marine-Hospital Service.] Inspection at Malone, Rome8 Point, and Platt8burg on account of smal.pox. PORT OF NEW YORE (STAPLETON), N. Y., December 28, 1901. Sra: Through the medical officer in command, I have to report that I arrived at Malone, N. Y., on December 20, in pursuance of Bureau order of the 18th instant. After conferring with Collector of Customs Gibson, I decided that there was no imminent danger of introduction of smallpox from Canada. There is at this time a lull in the immigra- tion from over the border, as the season for lumber cutting is now well advanced. In the early fall the immigration from Canada is quite large. I conferred also with Health Officer Wilding, and he seemed more apprehensive of the introduction of smallpox into Malone from the adjacent lumber camps than from elsewhere. Recently a case of smallpox came into his office from one of the numerous camps in the mountains, but luckily the case was at once detected and isolated. There is a rumor of the occurrence of many such cases in the lumber regions of the Adirondack Mountains, but it was difficult to get accu- rate information on the subject. I next went to Rouses Point and found that no cases of smallpox had occurred in that vicinity, nor did there seem to be any cause for appre- hension. From Rouses Point I went to Plattsburg and conferred with Deputy Collector Martin in the absence of Collector Witherbee. He was also reassuring as to the danger of infection coming from Canada, and stated that the small outbreak of smallpox in that vicinity had been traced to Burlington, Vt.
