Canada's Evolving Crown: from a British Crown to A
Canada’s Evolving Crown 108 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2014-0030 Canada’s Evolving Crown: From a British Crown to a “Crown of Maples” SCOTT NICHOLAS ROMANIUK University of Trento and JOSHUA K. WASYLCIW University of Calgary Abstract This article examines how instruments have changed the Crown of Canada from 1867 through to the present, how this change has been effected, and the extent to which the Canadian Crown is distinct from the British Crown. The main part of this article focuses on the manner in which law, politics, and policy (both Canadian and non-Canadian) have evolved a British Imperial institution since the process by which the federal Dominion of Canada was formed nearly 150 years ago through to a nation uniquely Canadian as it exists today. The evolution of the Canadian Crown has taken place through approximately fifteen discrete events since the time of Canadian confederation on July 1, 1867. These fifteen events are loosely categorized into three discrete periods: The Imperial Crown (1867-1930), A Shared Crown (1931-1981), and The Canadian Crown (1982-present). Keywords: Imperial, the London Conference, the Nickle Resolution, the British North America Act, Queen Victoria, Sovereignty, the Statute of Westminster 109 Canada’s Evolving Crown Introduction Of Canadian legal and governmental institutions, the Crown sits atop all, unifying them by means of a single institution. This Crown has remained both a symbol of strength and a connection to Canada’s historical roots. The roots of the Crown run deep and can be traced as far back as the sixteenth century, when the kings of France first established the Crown in Canada in Nouvelle-France. -

Report of the Grand Historian
REPORT OF THE GRAND HISTORIAN To the Most Worshipful the Grand Master, officers and members of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario: I would like to express my gratitude to you, Most Worshipful Brother Dowling, for honoring me with the office and title of Grand Historian. This report is submitted in accordance with the book of Constitution which requires the Grand Historian “to record matters that are connected with the history of Freemasonry in Ontario.” Given the challenge posed by the subject a more comprehensive research paper has been given to The Heritage Lodge: this report is but a compressed summary. Last year my report focussed on the War of 1812 and the masonic dimension across the six British Colonies of Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. It was one of the key periods in our history which would help to define what it is to be a Canadian. But the process of developing a national cohesiveness would continue until, on July 1, 1867, the Dominion of Canada would be formed by confederation of the Province of Canada (Canada East and Canada West), New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The process would continue with the addition of Manitoba and the North West Territory (July 15, 1870), British Columbia (July 20, 1871), Prince Edward Island (July 1, 1873), Alberta and Saskatchewan (September 1, 1905) and Newfoundland (March 31, 1949). These ten provinces are considered co-sovereign divisions deriving their power and authority directly from the Constitution Act of 1867 where the “Crown” is represented by a Governor General and provincial Lieutenant-Governors. -

JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES Issue 2 (2011) Stuck…in This Place: Shrinking Policy Space in New Brunswick Thomas M.J. Bateman Abstract After New Brunswick’s 2010 provincial election, a new policy environment took shape, characterized by an awareness of, among other things, ballooning public debt, economic dysfunction, soaring health costs, and demographic decline. Employing institutionalist analysis, this essay canvasses these problems and examines the obstacles standing in the way of effective, concerted action to deal with them. New Brunswick manifests several factors making institutional change to address these policy challenges difficult. Résumé Après les élections du Nouveau-Brunswick de 2010, un nouvel environnement politique a pris forme. Cet environnement a été caractérisé par une prise de conscience, entres autres, d’une dette publique astronomique, d’une économie dysfonctionnelle, de coûts de soins de santé qui montent en flèche et d’un déclin de la démographie. En s’appuyant sur une analyse institutionnaliste, cet article sonde ces problèmes et examine les obstacles qui freinent les actions efficaces et concertées nécessaires afin de les surmonter. Le Nouveau-Brunswick présente plusieurs facteurs qui contribuent aux changements institutionnels afin de traiter de ces défis politiques difficiles. Introduction During the 2006 provincial election campaign, Liberal leader Shawn Graham promoted a twenty-year plan to make New Brunswick self-sufficient—a “have” province in Confederation. After winning the election, the government quickly embarked on the Self-Sufficiency Agenda, and provincial re-branding was considered essential to the initiative. In this, Graham followed Frank McKenna who as premier in the 1980s and 1990s had attempted to alter perceptions of New Brunswick as a depressed, dependent, defeated jurisdiction in favour of the view that New Brunswick was “open for business.” A new brand, argued the members of the Self-Sufficiency Task Force in 2007, was necessary for the same reasons. -

This assembly of information is an inclusion to the Dickson – Paternal And Briggs – Maternal The Town of Chatham was the Maternal Family hub Genealogy Project February 1, 2021 Town of Chatham, New Brunswick Chatham is an urban neighborhood in the city of Marimichi, New Brunswick, Canada. Prior to municipal amalgamation in 1995, Chatham was an incorporated town in Northumberland County along the south bank of the Marimichi River opposite Douglastown. Since amalgamation, it has been sometimes referred to as Marimichi East. Communities amalgamated in 1995 to form the City of Marimichi, New Brunswick Historical population Year Pop. ±% 1871 3,000 — 1901 4,868 +62.3% 1911 4,666 −4.1% 1921 4,506 −3.4% 1931 4,017 −10.9% 1941 4,082 +1.6% 1951 5,223 +28.0% 1961 7,109 +36.1% 1981 6,761 −4.9% 1986 6,219 −8.0% 1991 6,544 +5.2% At Chatham, the Marimichi River is quite wide, the water salt and tidal. Just downstream from the town, the river begins to widen into a broad estuary, where the Marimichi River gradually becomes Marimichi Bay. Because of its eastward facing location, ships coming from the British Isles in early times had easy access through the Strait of Belle Isle and across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It was more accessible and safer to get to than the ports of Quebec City or Saint John, New Brunswick. In colonial times, the surrounding lands were heavily forested; the stands of eastern white pine were especially valued for ships' masts. The river teemed with fish, Atlantic salmon the most prized. -

Canada's Historic Heritage
Canada's Historic Heritage National Historic Parks and Sites in Canada Museum Building, Fori Anne National Historic Park, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. FOREWORD Joseph Howe, famous Canadian statesman, has said that "a wise nation fosters national pride and love of country by perpetual reference to the sacrifices and glories of the past". To this end the National Parks Branch has been entrusted with the preservation, restoration and marking of places of national historic importance throughout Canada. Many of these are associated with stirring events in the nation's early history, and include Indian earthworks, villages and portages; French trading posts, forts and mission enterprises; sites connected with British exploration and naval and military operations in the long struggle for the possession of Canada, and others relating to the economic, industrial and political development of the country. The services rendered by distinguished men and women of Canada are also being commemorated. The National Parks Branch is advised in connection with this work by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, an honorary body whose members, resident in various parts of the country, are historians of recognized standing. A number of the larger and more important sites have been set aside as National Historic Parks. Museums housing exhibits relating to the history of the region have been established at most of these parks. In the necessarily brief description contained in this booklet, it has not in every instance been possible to state the exact location of each historic site. An inquiry in the particular neighbourhood, however, will enable the visitor to obtain this information.
