  • 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.

Manager of Contract and Engineering Services DATE: May 25, 2007 SUBJECT: Use of Port Carling Docks for Water Ski Exhibitions REPORT No.: PW-7-2007-10 __________________________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION THAT Summer Water Sports Inc. be advised that public access to the Port Carling Locks and public docks cannot be obstructed or impeded by its proposed weekly water ski exhibitions in the Indian River between the Port Carling Locks and Lake Rosseau. ORIGIN For the past few summers, Summer Water Sports Inc. (SWS) has been conducting a water skiing exhibition on Bala Bay, adjacent Windsor Park. This year the company wishes to expand its operations to Port Carling. SWS proposes to hold the exhibition in the wide part of the Indian River above the Port Carling Locks, downstream from Lake Rosseau. A copy of a letter from SWS outlining this proposal is attached as Appendix “A”. ANALYSIS SWS proposes to conduct ten weekly shows on Monday nights, beginning June 25 and ending August 27. To this end, SWS has approached the Township of Muskoka Lakes and the Township’s Parks and Recreation Committee has passed a resolution stating that it has no objection, provided that SWS meets the requirements of all regulating agencies. In the second paragraph of the letter contained in Appendix “A”, SWS writes: “We would like to make a formal proposal to use the docks at the Locks Park in Port Carling during the water ski show. With the support of “The Boatworks” and full use of their facilities and docks, we would be asking the District to allow us to have the spectators sit on and park their boats on the docks.
