Toronto Has No History!’
‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s. -
510 Main Street Winnipeg City Hall
510 MAIN STREET WINNIPEG CITY HALL City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings Committee Researcher: M. Peterson April 2014 510 MAIN STREET – WINNIPEG CITY HALL Winnipeg’s first City Hall was officially opened in March 1876, the brick structure costing nearly $40,000 to complete (Plate 1), one of only a few substantial structures in the City that had incorporated two-and-a-half years earlier.1 But the structure had been built over a poorly filled Brown’s Creek. The fill could not hold the weight of the building and cracks began to appear shortly after it opened. An addition was completed in the winter of 1882-1883 but it too was poorly built. The entire structure had to be propped up because of these structural problems, ultimately being torn down in April 1883.2 The second City Hall, the famous “Gingerbread” building, was erected amid controversy between 1884 and 1886. Debate over location, construction materials, architect fees and other problems kept the building in the local papers throughout its construction. However, the completed structure was well-built and served the civic government and the citizens of Winnipeg for nearly 80 years (Plates 2 and 3).3 Three years later the City Market Building was completed to the west of City Hall adding a major retail element to the area (Plate 4). In 1913, a City of Winnipeg committee recommended replacing this City Hall, a competition was held and a winner from Regina, Saskatchewan, architects Clemesha and Portnall, was declared (Plate 5). But global economic downturn and the escalation of conflict leading to World War I halted any major construction plans and this new city hall building was never built. -
The Value of Investing in Canadian Downtowns Part 2

In preparation for this growth, the City has undertaken an “Regina has a very small, very extensive downtown master planning process that contained downtown this is a – recognizes the importance of the core and envisages it tremendous positive when it emerging as an increasingly vital, mixed use and walkable comes to experiencing the neighbourhood. The City has also created a range of downtown environment.” financial incentives, policy tools and invested in public projects to accelerate downtown revitalization efforts. Despite these positive steps, downtown Regina remains challenged to attract its share of growth and investment in an expanding urban region, achieve high quality urban design, enhance its heritage buildings, and attract residential growth to increase its critical mass of activity beyond business hours. On the whole, Regina is placing greater value on its downtown, but long term commitment to intensification efforts will be required to realize the urban vision set out for the downtown core into the future. 53 Downtown Regina Timeline 1881: Edward Carss, one of the first 1882 – Regina, named for Queen Victoria, European pioneers in the Regina area, is established as the capital of the North- settled at the junction of Qu’Appelle River West Territory near the site of an earlier and Wascana Creek. -

Waiting Periods and Direct Payments in Workers' Compensationances
June 1998 Waiting Periods and Direct Payments in Workers’ Compensation (Prepared for the Royal Commission on Workers’ Compensation in British Columbia) by Morley Gunderson* and Douglas Hyatt** * Professor, Department of Economics and Centre for Industrial Relations, University of Toronto. ** Associate Professor, Scarborough College, Faculty of Management, and Centre for Industrial Relations, all of the University of Toronto, Research Associate, Institute for Policy Analysis, University of Toronto, and Senior Scientist, Institute for Work and Health. 1. Introduction At the time of introduction of workers’ compensation in North America, waiting periods were a prominent design feature. This appears, fundamentally, to be due to the heavy influence of the first jurisdictions to adopt compensation programs for work injuries on the jurisdictions that followed. The North American workers’ compensation system was heavily influenced by the German system, established in 1884 under Bismarck, to which both workers and employers both contributed. In Britain, the “Friendly Societies” in the pre-1880, were initially established to compensate injured workers and their families for death or disability associated with a workplace injury, without regard to fault. Workers’ paid for the cost of the system, but over time, employers agreed, either through collective negotiations or on their own accord, to assist in financing the societies. Frequently, the quid pro quo was an agreement that workers’ would not sue the contributing employer. In the United States, a number of early attempts to legislate workers’ compensation statutes were beaten back by the U.S. Supreme Court, which found many of the provisions of the legislation offensive to common law doctrine, including the absence of waiting periods (as a form of co-insurance). -

THE CREATION OF CANADA A Scattering of Seeds - The Creation of Canada is a series of 52 documentary films exploring the dreams, daring and determination of Canada’s first immigrants. It is a journey into the hopes and triumphs of those who built a nation, interpreted by Canada’s best independent documentary filmmakers. The series draws on a rich archive of home movies, photographs, letters home, diaries and oral history. These are personal portraits celebrating the diversity of the first families who arrived during Canada’s formative years of nation building. From the early French, Irish and African-American settler to the Chilean music teacher and Chinese painter, this kaleidoscope of images and experiences is unparal- leled in Canadian filmmaking. By personalizing the stories of immigrants, A Scattering of Seeds makes the stranger immediately familiar and the beginnings of this country a shared experience.There is conflict, oppression and the occasional sinking of hearts, yet the resolve and character of these immigrants is what built our nation and allows it to grow. At the root of each story is the instinct to contribute something, to leave some- thing, to mark the efforts of a life. Who we were before we became who we are is our lasting legacy and our greatest teacher. A Scattering of Seeds demonstrates a profound understanding of the sense of community that continues to shape a country still in transition. “. an evocative anthology of personal stories which tell Canadian tales, not through great men, but through the unsung heroes -
