The oil and gas sector is an important contributor to Ontario's economy. This year marks a significant milestone for the industry in Ontario as it celebrates 150 years of pumping commercial crude oil in southwestern Ontario. Last year, Ontario's oil and natural gas production was valued at almost $150 million; hydrocarbons, which were stored in our underground storage reservoirs, were valued at $3 billion; and salt produced from solution mining operations was valued at $40 million. Your industry has a long history of impressive accomplishments in the province, and there are many exciting and innovative opportunities on the horizon. For example, T understand that your industry is using horizontal drilling technology to access oil resources beneath the waters of Lake Erie, as well as 3-D seismic to loca te previously undiscovere d reservoirs of oil and natural gas. These innovative opera­ tions demonstrate that your industry is lead ing the way in creating high-value jobs and opportunities right here in Ontario. I know that the Ontario Petroleum Institute is working very closely with my ministry's Petroleum Resources Centre in London, Ont., on revisions to Ontario regulation 245/97 under the Oil, Gas and Sa lt R esources Act. The Ministry of Natural Resources will continue to work in partnership with the oil and gas industry as we sustainably manage this vital natural resource for the benefit of all Ontarians. - Donna Cansfield Ontario Minister of Natural Resources ONTARIO OIL & GAS JUN E 2008 5 WHAT IS C02 SEQUESTRATION? presence of a suitable impermeable cap rock, a pressure and In simple terms, sequestration of carbon dioxide is the temperature regime suitable for injection and storage of C02 capture of C02 from anthropogenic sources before it can be in a "supercritical" or liquid phase, proximity to large point released into the atmosphere, or the removal of C02 directly sources of C02 emissions, and a well-characterized migra­ from the atmosphere, coupled with permanent storage of the tion route for the sequestered gas.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract This thesis explores how the local population of Enniskillen, (including the towns of Oil Springs and Petrolia) Southwestern Ontario, reacted to the environmental consequences of oil development between1858 and 1885. The inception of Canadian’s oil industry in 1858 subsequently resulted in the contamination of the river systems, the pollution of the air, and the creation of new hazards in the region. The pollution led to water scarcity, the odour of oil permeating the air, and the threat of oil fires. In order to continue living in the oil region, the local population adapted, either by normalizing the new conditions of the environment or by trying to create solutions to mitigate the threats.

  • (See Chapter IX), Quebec Is the Fo
    POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY 25 timber limits, which form the basis of a great pulp and paper industry (see Chapter IX), Quebec is the foremost of the provinces in the development of hydro-electric power (see Chapter XIII) and has available water-power resources, at ordinary minimum flow, almost equal to those of Ontario and Manitoba combined. Its asbestos deposits have long been known for their quality and extent and promise to become still more important as a possible source of magnesium as a by-product. Relatively recently, extensive developments of gold and copper in the western part of the Province have taken place and the mineralized area is being extended year by year. Quebec is in second place in mineral production among the provinces of the Dominion (see Chapter XII). Its fisheries in the St. Lawrence River and Gulf are an important resource. The climate and soil of the upper St. Lawrence Valley and of the Eastern Townships are well suited to general farming operations, including dairying and the production of vegetables on a commercial basis. Ontario.—Lying between Quebec on the east and Manitoba on the west, Ontario is usually regarded as an inland province but its southern boundary has a fresh-water shore line on the Great Lakes of 2,362 miles while its northern limits have a salt-water shore line of 680 miles on Hudson and James Bays. There is a tidal port at Moosonee at the southern end of James Bay. The most southerly point in the Province is Middle Island at 41° 41'N. latitude (this is also the most southerly point in the Dominion) and the most northerly latitude of the Province is 56° 50'.

  • 33 a BIBLIOGRAPHY of HURON-PETUN ARCHAEOLOGY L. J. Jackson
    Jackson: HURON-PETUN BIBLIOGRAPHY 33 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HURON-PETUN ARCHAEOLOGY L. J. Jackson INTRODUCTION This bibliography is intended as a research guide for archaeologists studying the Huron-Petun branch of Iroquoian development in Ontario as chronologically and geog- raphically delimited by J. V. Wright in his monograph The Ontario Iroquois Tradition (1966:66-7). A set of six main indices has been used to distinguish sub-areas of study. While this bibliography refers most specifically to the Huron and Petun, numerous references to related Iroquoian groups have been included for comparative purposes. The net result is coverage of Iroquoian developments in the Great Lakes region through- out the Late Woodland period. INDICES 1. PREHISTORIC ARCHAEOLOGY: includes field records and site reports dealing prin- cipally with prehistoric Huron-Petun sites. 2. HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY: includes studies and site reports on European and Huron-Petun contact sites. 3. NATIVE HABITAT: includes studies and reports on the natural resources and site characteristics of the Huron-Petun region. focusing on Simcoe County. 4. NATIVE TECHNOLOGY: includes technical studies, research guides and reports dealing mainly with the material culture of the Huron-Petun and with aboriginal techniques of manufacture. 5. TRADE GOODS: includes reports and research guides dealing with the appearance of European material goods on aboriginal sites. 6. CULTURAL STUDIES: includes miscellaneous archaeological, historical and sociological studies examining Huron-Petun and Iroquoian culture in general. * An additional section, HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, is appended as a preliminary guide to primary historical sources dealing with the contact period prior to the demise of the Huron and Petun in the seventeenth century.
