  • 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.

  • 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges
    Meeting Date: November 25, 2020 Contact: Sean Crozier, Treasurer/Deputy CAO [email protected] 613-646-2282, Ext. 138 Title: 2021 Proposed Fees and Charges Recommendation: That Committee of the Whole receive the draft 2021 User Fee Schedules for discussion in advance of the Public Meeting scheduled for December 9, 2020. Background: As part of the annual budget process, user fees are reviewed to ensure revenue is generated for providing services that are not fully funded through the use of taxation, grants or reserves. Social and economic factors are taken into consideration with proposed changes. In the 2021 proposed budget, user fees represent 28% of the proposed tax levy, meaning that without the use of user fees, the tax levy would need to increase 28% to fund services offered. Analysis: The Township is proposing increases in inspection rates and the introduction of a Covid-19 related cleaning fee when required. Changes to individual schedules are summarized below. Schedule “A” Community Development: The proposed changes will position the Township to provide for comparable planning and building fees with municipalities within Renfrew County. The department will assess revenue vs. expenses for building services to comply with the Ontario Building Code Act in 2021. Schedule “B” Recreation: The proposed changes are a reflection of market rates for arenas. Schedule “C” Finance and Administration: Page 1 of 16 A slight increase to the issuance of tax certificates is proposed. Schedule “D” Legislative and Protective Services: Recreational vehicle licenses and marriage related fees have increased. It is not recommended at this time to change to a lifetime dog tag as yearly revenues aid in offsetting operational expenses.
