Ms. Brouse acted as the primary liaison for the project, and her frequent guidance was appreciated. The participation and encouragement of the Muskoka Heritage Foundation has also been crucial throughout, particularly the involvement of Janet Grand and Rob Purves. The Ministry of Natural Resources has provided considerable financial and technical support, particularly through the involvement of George Moroz, Bill Crins, Jan McDonnell, John Riley, and Evan Thomas. Ontario Hydro provided welcome support to the project through the secondment of Bob Bowles for two field seasons, which is gratefully acknowledged. Mr. Bowles brought with him an exceptional knowledge of Muskoka' s natural heritage, as well as species checklists which formed a framework for our data collection and storage. A checklist of vascular plant species was provided through the extensive previous work of Emerson Whiting and Jim Goltz. Dr. Goltz and members of the Muskoka Field Naturalists and the Toronto Field Naturalists also assisted with field work on occasion. Financial support for the joint study of the Severn River corridor was received from the County of Simcoe, Canadian Parks Service, and Southern Region of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Funding support to carry out mapping of surficial geology for Muskoka and to identify representative and distinctive geological features was provided by the District Municipality, Ministry of Natural Resources Parks and Natural Heritage Branch, and the Ontario Geological Survey. Assistance in information gathering on scenic preferences was provided through the generous donation of an original oil painting by Geoff Miller of Grillia. Other financial support over the course of this project and associated landowner contact activities was received from: Environmental Youth Corps Muskoka Lakes Association Environmental Partners Fund Numerous Individual Donors Ontario Heritage Foundation Wildlife Habitat Canada World Wildlife Fund (Canada) The McLean Foundation Finally, we wish to acknowledge the skills and dedication of the various field workers and support staff who made completion of this project possible, in particular we would like to thank Bob LaCroix and Joan Gray for their cartographic skills and Deb Crowder for her assistance in typing the final report. - 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The purpose of this report is to integrate and summarize the results of three years of field data collection related to the natural heritage of Muskoka. This final report builds on seven previous interim reports from the Heritage Areas Program, including: - 1990, 1991, and 1992 Field Program Reports; - a Severn Corridor study sponsored jointly by Simcoe County; - a biotic study of the Georgian Bay coast; - surficial geology mapping and recommendations from the Ontario Geological Survey; and - a Scenic Areas study carried out in 1992. Selection of Heritage Areas is based on a set of selection criteria, which were developed and reviewed early in the project. The full criteria and their application are described in Chapter 1 of this report. For Natural Heritage Areas, the relevant criteria can be summarized as: - distinctive/unusuallandform features - representative landform types - regional hydrological systems - biotic representation - high diversity of species or communities - high quaHty/lowdisturbance - habitat for rare species - wildlife/fish concentrations - large size or linkages - biogeographic significance - scenic value As part of the fmal integration phase, these criteria and their application were reviewed to ensure they were applied consistently. The criteria are supported by an analysis of vegetation community representation, a plant species/area graph, a scoring system for Atlantic Coastal Plain vegetation, and a series of updated appendices on species rarity. The application of the scenic criteria is based on a public survey of viewer preferences, together with an analysis of nominated sites and corridors. Because of this review, in the case of any discrepancies with the previous reports, this report should be considered the governing document. For the purposes of biological evaluation, 74 candidate areas were visited at least once in the field, as well as 121 scenic site candidates. A total of 48 candidates meet two or more criteria to qualify as Natural Heritage Areas. These Areas cover a total of 25,500 hectares, or approximately 6% of Muskoka's land base. Approximately half of the total extent of Natural Heritage Areas is on Crown land. - ii - Natural Heritage Sites are generally smaller than Areas, and identify a single feature of interest through one of the biotic, abiotic, or scenic criteria. These sites are included on the

  • 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.
