Since the reorganization of the force in 1920 the strength in successive years has been:— N.C.O. and Constables Personnel Total - Excluding Year Officers and Horses Special Perso nnel Special - Constables Constables 1920 73 1,598 1,671 1,532 942 1921- 70 1,610 1,680 1,555 795 1922 64 1,163 1,227 1,145 656 1923 58 1,090 1,148 1,068 , 543 1924 58 962 1,020 941 433 1925 53 924 977 895 360 1926 53 910 963 876 314 1927 52 952 1,004 907 248 The distribution into posts and detachments on September 30, 1927, was:-- Divisional Detach- Posts ments Maritime Provinces 1 1 Quebec ' 1 4 Ontario 2 12 Manitoba 1 12. Saskatchewan (1 depot) 2 20 Alberta 2 22 British Columbia 1 11 Yukon Territory 1 10 Northwest Territories 16 Baffin Island Ellesmere Island 1 North Devon Island 1 . 11 113 Here again there has been a turn, the detachments showing a tendency to increase. In 1922 these numbered 122, but they then were rapidly reduced, to 106 in 1925; in 1926 they went up to 112, this year there is one more, and, while detachments here and there may occasionally be closed, the prospects are for a steady increase in the North. The alteraticins of strength in personnel in the several 'districts have been:— — 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 1927 Maritime Provinces 25 32 33 32 31 30 30 36 Quebec 8 23 31 27 24 23 31 30 Eastern Ontario 395 z 442 325 343 339 341 334 349 Western Ontario 31 37 34 37 46 44 41 45 Manitoba 189 203 100 85 55 50 54 54 Southern Saskatchewan 354 277 225 214 159 166 142 138 Northern Saskatchewan 53 60 58 49 41 37 37 39 Southern Alberta 248 211 121 103 97 82 79 79 Northern Alberta 89 104 92 87 90 87 98 106 British Columbia 229 238 157 128 97 79 82 91 Yukon Territ,ory 50 53 51 • 43 41 38 35 , 37 • The foregoing are territorial subdivisions arranged for convenience of administration.

M,oreoVer,;the deductions from my disposable strength also have increased, and thé number of men available for the typical work of the force actually is smaller than in 1926. Of our 907 net strength, 261 are immobilized by 'permanent guards and, protection to public buildings, as against 225 last year," while Our northern service accounts for 77, as against 70 last year, so that I can call ;open 569, as against 580 last year, to c,ope with the work which is steadily growing. And it must further be observed that from this 569 must be deducted recruits and the necessary training establishment, while there also is the need for supervisory and clerical work. A speéial characteristic of this force is the -general control exercised, alike by the officers commandin g districts.Over -their detachments and by headquarters over the districts, and this is impossible without numetouà reports and returns and the accompanying checking and direction; the ,volume of correspondence centering in Ottawa is about one thousand letters a day, and a large proportion of these are not formal matters of routine, but communications require individual consideration and action; so that. the need for a- deduction whiCh for staff and clerical work is clear. ' After allowing for the foregoing, there is also to consider the need• for a. reserve of strength, uPon which I have laid stress before.

Copyright © 2008 Inuit Circumpolar Council – Canada Executive Summary Context: This report from the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) Canada contributes to the Arctic Marine Shipping Assessment (AMSA) being conducted by the Arctic Council.

As a Permanent Participant at the Arctic Council, ICC speaks on behalf of all 155,000 Inuit living in Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Russia. Sources: The report investigates Inuit use of sea ice. It draws upon three sources: Thirty-year old land use and occupancy studies upon which the modern Inuit land claims agreements in Canada were based; Recent interviews with Inuit hunters in Canada; and Additional studies from Alaska and Greenland. Parts of this report are written in the first person with Inuit telling their story. Main Point: This report demonstrates unequivocally that life in the Arctic is dependent on movement, and that sea ice is integral to this movement.

COWALL, DHMSA, M.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by E. Emily S. Cowall, November 2011 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2011) McMaster University (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Puvaluqatatiluta, When We Had Tuberculosis: St. Luke's Mission Hospital and the Inuit of the Cumberland Sound Region, 1930–1972 AUTHOR: E. Emily S. Cowall, DHMSA (Society of Apothecaries), M.Sc. (University of Edinburgh) SUPERVISOR: Professor D. Ann Herring NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 183 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the history of Church- and State-mediated tuberculosis treatment for Inuit of the Cumberland Sound region from 1930 to 1972. Pangnirtung’s St. Luke’s Mission Hospital sits at the centre of this discussion and at the nexus of archival evidence and regional Inuit knowledge about tuberculosis. Triangulating information gained from fieldwork, archives, and a community-based photograph naming project, this study brings together the perspectives of Inuit hospital workers, nurses, doctors, and patients, as well as of Government and Anglican-Church officials, during the tuberculosis era in the Cumberland Sound. The study arose from conversations with Inuit in Pangnirtung, who wondered why they were sent to southern sanatoria in the 1950s for tuberculosis treatment, when the local hospital had been providing treatment for decades. Canadian Government policy changes, beginning in the 1940s, changed the way healthcare was delivered in the region. The Pangnirtung Photograph Naming Project linked photos of Inuit patients sent to the Hamilton Mountain Sanatorium to day-book records of St.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
