Active Transportation • Recreational Cyclists • Commuter Cyclists • Cycling for regular, every day life • Pedestrians travelling to/from a specific destination (walking to the store, walking to school, etc.) • Pedestrians walking or jogging for leisure/exercise purposes • Pedestrians with special mobility requirements Highlights of the Plan Closing Infrastructure Gaps • The plan identifies gaps in several villages and hamlets with recommendations on how to improve these spaces for Active Transportation use Highlights of the Plan Trail Standard and Improved Trail Crossings • The Plan identifies strategies that the County in partnership with Townships could use to improve the safety of Trail crossings for pedestrians and cyclists through improved design, additional signage and construction Highlights of the Plan Significance of Primary Trails • The K&P Trail, the Cataraqui Trail and the Tay-Havelock Trail have all been identified as primary trails in the Regional Active Transportation Plan • These three trails offer low-stress options for pedestrians and cyclists to move between communities • They should meet or exceed accessibility requirements and allow for maintenance vehicle access Spine Network • A backbone of routes that connects communities throughout the County, as well as key destinations • Includes on road and off road routes • Designates a commitment to continued investment and improvement for existing routes, and prioritization for new facilities • Goal of higher order infrastructure, but up to owner and manager of segment Highlights of the Plan Education and Programming • Construction of infrastructure is only one part of encouraging our residents to choose active transportation for regular trips or recreation. The plan outlines several strategies to encourage more activation of the existing infrastructure including Organized trail rides and community walks Education regarding trail etiquette and sharing the road Development of signature active transportation routes and itineraries What Happens Next Implementation • Staff recognize that many recommendations will require partnership with township public works departments, other trail management groups and neighbouring municipalities to achieve success. Addressing identified gaps and building out the spine network will be included within the capital plans of each stakeholder organization Strategic Priorities Priority 2: Explore New Funding and Invest in Infrastructure • Funding for active transportation infrastructure can come and go quickly, and funders are seeking projects that support long-term plans, connectivity and that are shovel- ready. Strategic Priorities Priority 3.1: Work with the townships, other municipalities and levels of government on broad infrastructure issues — ranging from environmental concerns to regional transportation strategies for residential, social and economic purposes, and access to funding. • The Regional Active Transportation Plan has been developed with input from Township Public Works and Planning departments. The Regional Active Transportation Plan will enable townships to integrate active transportation projects into long-term capital plans, and to apply for additional funding dedicated towards active transportation infrastructure.

  • Bill Allen -- Nineteenth Century Aboriginal Farmers of the Madawaska River
    Nineteenth Century Aboriginal Farmers of the Madawaska River Bill Allen, Heritage One Research ABSTRACT Early in the nineteenth century Aboriginal people were practising farming along the Madawaska River. The Madawaska is prominent in several ancient canoe routes between the Ottawa River Watershed and Georgian Bay Watershed so, not surprisingly, the evidence of Aboriginal farming lies at key points along these routes. In the third quarter of the century, as large scale timber operations pushed further into the interior in areas now part of Algonquin Park, Aboriginal farmers were among the first to clear land, plant crops and build homes and other structures. Recent archaeological evidence confirms locations noted in early survey maps and other primary documents and confirms the mutual support of farming and timbering. The evidence challenges us to accept the extent to which Algonquin families embraced farming in the period prior to the formation of Algonquin Park and the arrival of the railway. This paper provides background about Madawaska canoe routes and features as well as illustrations of Aboriginal farming development and the role of key people such as Algonquin Chief Peter Sharbot. RÉSUMÉ Au début du XIXe siècle, les peuples autochtones pratiquaient l’agriculture sur les rives de la Madawaska. Cette rivière joue un rôle important comme ancienne voie de canotage entre le bassin hydrographique de la rivière des Outaouais et celui de la baie Georgienne; il n’est donc pas étonnant que les traces de cultures autochtones se retrouvent à des points clés le long de ces voies. Dans le troisième quart du siècle, avec l’expansion des exploitations de bois de sciage à l’intérieur du territoire, dans des régions faisant partie de l’actuel parc Algonquin, les fermiers autochtones ont été parmi les premiers à défricher la terre, à cultiver, et à construire des maisons et d’autres structures.

  • Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This Year, with the Help of Great Lakes Guardian Program, We Transformed How Ontarians Interacted with Local Waterbodies
    Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This year, with the help of Great Lakes Guardian program, we transformed how Ontarians interacted with local waterbodies. Funding provided by An innovative environmental non-profit From the tiniest creek to the biggest lake, Canada is known for its water. Yet average citizens do not realize how their livelihood is connected with their watershed. Even when they learn about beaches closing or fish dying, they do not feel there is anything they can or should do. Water Rangers empowers citizens to learn and take action on water conservation through our user-friendly web platform, water stewardship training, and water quality testkits. Founded in 2015 through Aquahacking, we’re a non- profit organization based in Ottawa aiming to make water science easy to understand. We deepen our impact by providing tools and training to understand, test and protect waterways. About this Funding provided by project Water Rangers Guardians conduct water quality tests, clean up garbage and naturalize shorelines in order to become guardians for their local lake, river or stream! The program engaged community groups over the year, and trained students during excursions. This project w funded by Ontario through the Great Lakes Guardian Fund. Our Theory of Change states that when people learn Temiskaming about, then test water, they are prompted to take action Guardians must be located in the to protect it (Learn --> Test --> Act). Through this grant, thanks to Government of Ontario’s Great Lakes Guardian St. Lawrence River Watershed Fund, we took community and youth groups through this journey by first introducing them to water health, teach- (Ontario side) X ing them how to test water and the value of collecting Sudbury Q baseline data over time, and then prompting them to AX Q K act by collecting bags of garbage and restoring a modi- North Bay QUEBEC fied shoreline by letting it go natural and planting native shrubs.
