Executive Summary Delivering the Mandate across Ontario The current position of the Trust builds upon several years of thoughtful examination of the agency’s legislated mandate, how and for whom it is delivered, and why it matters to Ontarians. In 2012 the Trust completed an extensive sustainability review, with a focus on core mandate and an analysis of all revenue and expenditures, as a measure to streamlining expenditures and diversifying the revenue base. The result for the agency was a balanced budget in 2016 and for subsequent years. In 2015 MTCS completed a Mandate Review that confirmed the Trust as a valuable resource in heritage matters, with strong professional and technical knowledge, that is recognized as a centre of specialized expertise in heritage that is not offered elsewhere in the provincial government. Both the Trust and MTCS concluded reviews of the operating model for the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres and the Trust’s plan for the ongoing operation of the EWG was affirmed by the Ministry in 2018.

  • Exploring Historical Literacy in Manitoulin Island Ojibwe
    Exploring Historical Literacy in Manitoulin Island Ojibwe ALAN CORBIERE Kinoomaadoog Cultural and Historical Research M'Chigeeng First Nation This paper will outline uses of Ojibwe1 literacy by the Manitoulin Island Nishnaabeg2 in the period from 1823 to 1910. Most academic articles on the historical use of written Ojibwe indicate that Ojibwe literacy was usu­ ally restricted to missionaries and was used largely in the production of religious materials for Christianizing Native people. However, the exam­ ples provided in this paper will demonstrate that the Nishnaabeg of Mani­ toulin Island3 had incorporated Ojibwe literacy not only in their religious correspondence but also in their personal and political correspondence. Indeed, Ojibwe literacy served multiple uses and had a varied audience and authorship. The majority of materials written in Ojibwe over the course of the 19th century was undoubtedly produced by non-Native people, usually missionaries and linguists (Nichols 1988, Pentland 1996). However, there are enough Nishnaabe-authored Ojibwe documents housed in various archives to demonstrate that there was a burgeoning Nishnaabe literacy movement from 1823 to 1910. Ojibwe documents written by Nishnaabe chiefs, their secretaries, and by educated Nishnaabeg are kept at the fol­ lowing archives: the United Chief and Councils of Manitoulin's Archives, the National Archives of Canada, the Jesuit Archives of Upper Canada and the Archives of Ontario. 1. In this paper I will use the term Ojibwe when referring to the language spoken by the Nishnaabeg of Manitoulin. Manitoulin Nishnaabeg include the Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Odawa nations. The samples of "Ojibwe writing" could justifiably be called "Odawa writ- ing.

  • The Ontario Culture Strategy Telling Our Stories, Growing Our Economy
    The Ontario Culture Strategy Telling our stories, growing our economy Culture is everyday good living, a way of life, shared histories, values, beliefs, vitality, beauty, pride, play, sport, recreation, leisure, fashion, cultural industries, entertainment, live music, photography, publishing, architecture, civic spaces, art, design, interactive digital media, watching television, movies, learning, trying new things, language, books and magazines, crafts, humour, amateur and professional theatre, dance, opera, pow wows, maple syrup festivals, agricultural festivals, farmers’ markets, cultural institutions, museums, archives, historical societies, built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes, fishing, hunting and trapping, social interaction, social cohesion, citizen engagement, sustainability, the products of artists and entrepreneurs. Culture is tangible and intangible. Culture means good mental health, good relationships and enlarged spirits. Culture provides joy. Libraries are sanctuaries for many people. Food defines who we are and where we are from. Music is an essential part of human experience. Archaeology is very important to complement or fill gaps in the written record. Culture is the sharing of creative knowledge, skills and talents. It is volunteering, donating and working selflessly to build strong communities. Culture is bold. It is creativity and imagination. It is reflection and creative thinking. It is knowledge and understanding. It is innovation and technology. It is provocation and exploration of new ideas. Art must be democratic but must also go beyond consensus to be edgy and challenge us. Culture is an expression of our identity and history. It is an explanation and exploration of who we are. It is how we enjoy ourselves. It helps us understand where we live and presents Ontario to the rest of the world.
