  • 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 105 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River The Ottawa River was once the only way to access the Upper Ottawa Valley, to travel between Montreal and Ottawa and beyond. It was a viable option for military and commercial access to the Great Lakes. Before roads and even railways were built, the Ottawa River was literally the one and only highway, carrying merchandise, people, and mail in both directions. From Montreal, there were two Figure 2.63 Canoe on the River, 1841 main routes inland: the St. Lawrence – Great Lakes system, and the Ottawa River – Lake Nipissing – Georgian Bay to Upper Great Lakes route (Canadian Public Works Association 113). At first, canoes plied the waters of the Ottawa, carrying First Nations Peoples, explorers and voyageurs into the interior of the land. But the development of the lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley and the related settlement in its upper reaches soon required larger boats. These Source : Philip John Bainbrigge/Library and Archives Canada/C-011815 boats faced logistical challenges hoisting themselves up or around the many sections of chutes and rapids they encountered along the Ottawa. A series of canals, initially built for military purposes, facilitated the transportation of goods and people along the river. Figure 2.64 Steamer, “Duchess of York” Steamboats appeared on the Ottawa River during the construction of these canals, enabling a more reliable and efficient transportation system. The canals only circumvented certain rapids. Others, such as the Chaudiere Falls, still represent an Canada/C-003949 obstacle to navigation. Steamboats were therefore confined to particular sections of the river.

  • 5.6 the History of the Upper Canada Side of the Ottawa River Between Shirley’S Bay to the East and the Madawaska River to the West
    OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 227 5.6 The History of the Upper Canada Side of the Ottawa River Between Shirley’s Bay to the East and the Madawaska River to the West Bob Sherrif This section outlines local history by township, including the March, Torbolton and Fitzroy Townships. March Township This township was named after the Earl of March, son of the ill‐fated Duke of Richmond. The end of the War of 1812 found many military men more or less at loose ends here in Canada. Whitehall found it more expedient to encourage the Officers to remain here in Canada by offering land grants upon which they could retire and, at the same time, further the settlement of this new land. There were already many military men settled in and around Perth and Richmond, so Sir John Colborne promoted the settlement in what became March Township. The first person to settle here was Captain John Benning Monk, late of the 97th Regiment, and a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars. Captain Monk was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia. His beautiful stone residence situated on the Ottawa shore was called “Beechmont”. The second settler on the March township shoreline was Hamnet Kirkes Pinhey, born in Plymouth, England, in 1784. He became a wealthy businessman in England with his own ships trading on the European continent. These connections made him an excellent candidate to become an agent for the British Government. He served as a blockade runner and, due to his proficiency in both French and German, he was able to move about and carry dispatches to England’s Prussian allies.

  • FAUNAL FINDINGS at the CONSTANCE BAY SITE NO. 1 (Biga-2)
    Savage: FAUNAL FINDINGS 25 FAUNAL FINDINGS AT THE CONSTANCE BAY SITE NO. 1 (BiGa-2) HOWARD SAVAGE ABSTRACT Faunal material, excavated by Mr. Gordon Watson at the Constance Bay Site No. 1 (BiGa-2) and radiocarbon dated at 2,440 ± 75 B.P., included elements from six mammal species, as well as turtle and fish species, many of which were calcined. The small size of the beaver and black bear findings was noted. Cavitation of the compact bone of most of the cortex specimens from large mammal species was demonstrated by direct examination and radiologically, and its nature investigated by X-ray diffraction and spectography, and microscopic examination and selective staining of ground thin sections. A suggested mode of production of the cavitation is a destructive effect of soil factors on the bone inner portion and its subsequent leaching out, with a resultant shell of cortex only remaining. This effect does not appear to have occurred in other archaeological sites in Ontario. The very interesting faunal material from the Constance Bay Site No. 1 (BiGa-2) was excavated by Mr. Gordon Watson during the summers of 1970 and 1971 at Constance Bay in one of the lakes of the Ottawa River, about 30 miles west of Ottawa. Its ceramic and lithic findings have indicated its occupation during the Woodland Period of Ontario prehistory, as has also a radiocarbon dating of a charcoal sample from the site as 2,440 ± 75 B.P. (Watson, 1972). The faunal findings from this site consisted of approximately 3,010 specimens, in which 412 mammalian, 49 turtle and 7 fish elements were recognized (Appendix A).

More curious raccoons inch closer. One plays with a leaf that has fallen through the wire mesh of the enclo- sure, which serves as a safe home away from home while the critters heal and/ or mature. “I find it endlessly fascinat- ing,” Rowe said of her rescue work. “Everyone who volun- teers and pitches in does so because they care about ani- mals. It’s very therapeutic for us to see raccoons goofing around like that. It does my heart a lot of good.” Holly’s Haven Wildlife Rescue, a volunteer-based not-for-profit licensed or- ganization in the Dunrobin area, has taken in almost 90 raccoons, some from as far away as Toronto, and a total of more than 300 critters, including bats, rabbits, squirrels, mice, voles and groundhogs.
