    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

We review the information concerning the interannual variations in inventories of nitrate, chlorophyll a and indices of the spring bloom inferred from satellite ocean colour imagery, as well as the abundance of major taxa of zooplankton collected as part of the 2012 Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). In general, nitrate inventories in both the upper and lower water-column continue to remain below normal along the northern transects across the Labrador-Newfoundland Shelf and Grand Bank while above average levels are typical of the northwest Gulf of St.

  • The Caraquet Riots of 1875
    GEORGE F. G. STANLEY The Caraquet Riots of 1875 In April 1871, four years after the confederation of the British North American provinces, an education bill was introduced into the legislature of the province of New Brunswick. This measure was, apparently, the work of the attorney- general, the Honourable George Edwin King, a graduate of the Methodist college at Sackville, who represented Saint John county in the legislature. The object of King's bill was to establish a non-sectarian school system supported by public funds. The Roman Catholic minority, very much alive to the question of separate schools after their inclusion in the Manitoba Act in 1870 at the insistence of Louis Riel, pressed upon the provincial government the need for the establishment of a separate school system in New Brunswick. Some twenty- two petitions were sent to Fredericton, and Timothy Anglin's Morning Free­ man in Saint John and Norbert Lussier's Moniteur A cadien in Shediac repeat­ edly demanded equal school rights for the Catholic citizens of the province. The press and public generally, however, supported the principle of non- sectarian schools, and on 5 May the Bill passed the Protestant-dominated Assembly, twenty-five votes to ten, with six abstentions. After a narrow squeak through the Legislative Council, where an amendment proposing that public funds should be made available to all schools was defeated on an even division, the bill became law in May 1871. Not only was the Common Schools Act offensive in principle to the Roman Catholic minority, the detailed regulations adopted under authority of the Act were even more objectionable.

    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.

  • New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan
    New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Five Year Implementation Plan for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture December 14 2007 Executive Summary The New Brunswick Eastern Habitat Joint Venture (NB-EHJV) was established in 1989 to implement the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) in New Brunswick through a partnership of federal, provincial and regional conservation organizations. The NB-EHJV Five Year Implementation Plan to be known as the Plan is an update of the 1989 – 2004 NB Eastern Habitat Joint Venture Implementation Plan. The Plan outlines the current status of wetland habitats and waterfowl populations in New Brunswick and presents waterfowl population goals and habitat conservation targets for the next five years. The Plan is a blueprint for the conservation of important breeding, staging and wintering waterfowl habitat in New Brunswick. It describes the habitat conservation program the NB- EHJV partnership will employ to achieve the waterfowl population objectives, the methods for program assessment and the resource needs. Though this Plan may benefit other bird species, it does not explicitly address the objectives for the other bird Pillars of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI). The Plan will address 15% (1,105 IBP) of the 7,600 IBP population deficit for dabbling ducks (American black duck, Mallard, green-winged teal, ring-necked duck) in NB through the enhancement or restoration of 1,380 hectares of wetlands and the active management of 13,901 hectares of wetlands to optimum waterfowl brood rearing conditions. A nest box program will be used to increase wood duck and common goldeneye.
