  • 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.

Holman Bridgewater State University Filed away in the archives of the City of Toronto, Canada, are two photographs from the winter of 1928 that capture a peculiar moment in the histories of North American sport and race relations. The first of these shows 16 Native Canadians divided into two teams dressed in ice hockey gear, buckskin jerseys, and feathered headdresses. The teams are assembled along one side of a chartered bus (equipped with chained tires), which was parked in front of the Ontario Provincial Legislature and festooned with a sign announcing the “Cree & Ojibway Indian Hockey Tour” (Figure 1). The second image captures the two teams assembled at an outdoor stadium in Toronto—a warm spell in mid-January having melted the outdoor ice and leaving the hockey players standing in slush (Figure 2).

Through their collective efforts they provided the necessary leadership, guidance and support to facilitate the development of this Economic Development Strategy and their time and energy is greatly appreciated.

This input was invaluable and revealed that the majority of Temagami residents have a passion for their unique community and a will to succeed.

  • The Boundary Point CASE COMMENTARIES on PROPERTY TITLE Volume 6, Issue 7 , July 2018 and BOUNDARY LAW
    The Boundary Point CASE COMMENTARIES ON PROPERTY TITLE Volume 6, Issue 7 , July 2018 AND BOUNDARY LAW The Boundary Point is published by Four Point Learning as a free monthly e-newsletter, providing case comments of decisions involving some issue or aspect of property title and boundary law of interest to land surveyors and lawyers. The goal is to keep you aware of decisions recently released by the courts in Canada that may impact your work. In this month’s issue we examine a recent decision of the Ontario Superior Court concerning the status of a thoroughfare as a public highway or an access road. The issue in Blanchard v. Tripp,1 involved access to a remote property in an unorganized Township along a road that did not follow a surveyed road allowance. The decision concluded with a finding that the thoroughfare in question was not a public road or access road and further dismissed the plaintiff’s claim. The plaintiffs in this and similar cases generally seek one specific outcome – a guaranteed (unobstructed) public vehicular access to their property. What is interesting is the number of possible approaches that can be taken to reach that desired outcome. In this case the lack of a formal survey where the road crossed crown land and the absence of coincidence of location with a surveyed road allowance contributed to the court’s finding against the public nature of the road. Common Law and Statute: Many Paths to a Finding of a Public Road Key Words: access road, common road, colonization road, statute labour Access to a property may be necessary for the use and enjoyment of that property, but the convenience of that access is not something that is necessarily relevant.
