  • Heritage Strategy Ottawa River Ontario 2007
    CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM Heritage Strategy for the Ottawa River Ontario 2007 Ottawa River Heritage Designation Committee Submitted to the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board by the Government of Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ontario Parks In Memory Of Len Hopkins 1930 ~ 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) was created by the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments to recognize outstanding and exemplary rivers of Canada and to ensure the sustainable management of the heritage values for generations to come. To qualify for inclusion in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, a river or section of a river must demonstrate outstanding cultural and/or natural heritage values, and offer quality recreational opportunities. The Ontario portion of the Ottawa River will play an important role in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, providing representation of several important cultural themes. Aboriginal peoples utilized the resources along the Kichi Sibi for over 6,000 years. The river continues to be considered the heartland of the Algonquin First Nations community. The outstanding historical and political significance of the river, as the gateway for continental exploration, premier transportation corridor during the fur and timber eras, and home to the Nation’s Capital – Ottawa, make the Ottawa River deserving of CHRS status. The natural resources that made the Ottawa River so attractive to its early inhabitants continue to be important on a national level. The Ottawa River plays a significant role as the largest tributary in the St. Lawrence River basin ecosystem. The river traverses easily accessible, visible segments of the lithosphere that represent the past three billion years of the Earth’s history.

The area offers modern cities and towns tucked into the raw beauty of our untamed Canadian wilderness. For boaters, it’s North Eastern the best of both worlds – convenience and nature.

MAGNETAWAN RIVER AREA Near Sundridge you can head down Highway 124 to the town of Magnetawan to enjoy excellent fishing, as well as an historical museum and recreation facili- ties. The reconstruction of the historic Magnetawan Lock was completed in 1998 and re-opened the area to boat traffic. There’s a walkway right across to the island in Lake Cecebe and in addition to offering full marina services, the area is part of a 40-mile water- way system leading to Ahmic Lake and the majestic Magnetawan River. Dunchurch is the only town in the area with a direct public access road to the district’s second largest body of water, Whitestone Lake. With its various on-water activities and exciting attractions, you’ll come LAKE NIPISSING back year after year. North Bay is the first big city you’ll come to on your journey up Highway 11.

  • Cover & Forward
    THE OTTAWA RIVER BY NIGHT i The Ottawa River By Night Poem donated by Margaret Atwood in support of Ottawa River heritage designation In the full moon you dream more. I know where I am: the Ottawa River far up, where the dam goes across. Once, midstorm, in the wide cold water upstream, two long canoes full of children tipped, and they all held hands and sang till the chill reached their hearts. I suppose in our waking lives that’s the best we can hope for, if you think of that moment stretched out for years. Once, my father and I paddled seven miles along a lake near here at night, with the trees like a pelt of dark hackles, and the waves hardly moving. In the moonlight the way ahead was clear and obscure both. I was twenty and impatient to get there, thinking such a thing existed. None of this is in the dream, of course. Just the thick square‐ edged shape of the dam, and eastward the hills of sawdust from the mill, gleaming as white as dunes. To the left, stillness; to the right, the swirling foam of rapids over sharp rocks and snags; and below that, my father, moving away downstream in his boat, so skilfully although dead, I remember now; but no longer as old. He wears his grey hat, and evidently he can see again. There now, he’s around the corner. He’s heading eventually to the sea. Not the real one, with its sick whales and oil slicks, but the other sea, where there can still be safe arrivals.

  • Wilfred C Bain
    Wilfred C. Bain Material prepared by Charles Nelson Biographical Sketch North Texas State Teachers College Denton, Texas • 1938-1947 In the fall of 1938, the Music Department at North Texas State Teachers College in Denton, Texas, was housed in several houses on the east side of the campus. The faculty consisted of Mary Anderson and Gladys Kelso who taught piano, Floyd Graham who directed the orchestra, the marching band and the stage band, and Lillian Parrill who directed the choir. They shared the classroom teaching for the twenty-five music majors they served. Dr. Joseph McConnell, the president of NTSTC, hired Wilfred Conwell Bain, a thirty four year old musician with an Ed.D. in Music Education from New York University, to head the Music Department. Born in Canada, son of a minister, Wilfred Bain had attended Westminster Choir College in Princeton NJ where he fell under the influence of the school’s founder and president, John Finley Williamson. Movie star handsome, with a deep, resonant speaking voice, in the flower of manhood, Wilfred Bain conveyed an air of confidence that was infectious. When he talked to students, they believed him. When he talked to the mother of a prospective student, her child was destined to enroll at NTSTC. He talked to a lot of mothers and music major student enrollment grew by 109% in the first year of his administration. By 1939, the NTSTC music department was awarded associate membership in the National Association of Schools of Music; only the second teachers college in the United States to be so designated.
