N1H 4Y3 Phone: (519) 823-1647 / Fax: (519) 821-0202 URL: www.hcaconsulting.ca Email: [email protected] ii Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide a profile of agriculture in the Algoma - Manitoulin region and an update on the economic impact of agriculture on the wider economy. The report is intended to help the broader community better understand the nature and economic significance of the agricultural economy in terms of dollars and jobs. The findings are also intended to inform program and policy development work within northern Ontario.

The research in this report relies on data from the Population and Agricultural Census (1996-2006) and a review of the findings from the previous agri-economic impact study conducted in the region in 2002. The study was completed as part of a larger collaborative partnership between stakeholder groups in Thunder Bay District, Rainy River District, Kenora District and Cochrane District. The focus of this report is on the Algoma - Manitoulin region. The value of agricultural production in the Algoma - Manitoulin region is substantial.

  • The Manitoulin Phragmites Project Results of 2019 Work Compiled by Judith Jones, Project Coordinator, October 2019
    The Manitoulin Phragmites Project Results of 2019 Work compiled by Judith Jones, Project Coordinator, October 2019 Volunteers and Phrag Project team controlling Phragmites at Mud Bay, Cockburn Island Phragmites (“frag-MITE-eeze”) is a hugely tall, European grass that has been spreading aggressively on shorelines and in wetlands in our area. Phragmites can quickly grow into dense patches which eventually wipe out all other vegetation. It is a serious threat to property values, recreation, tourism, biodiversity, and aesthetics. Southern Ontario has lost hectares and hectares of beaches and other natural habitat to Phragmites. The Manitoulin Phragmites Project was started to make sure this does not happen here! We have just finished our 4th season of work on Manitoulin, Cockburn, and Great Duck Islands. You are receiving this letter because there is Phragmites on your property or in your jurisdiction, or because you have been involved with the project. We want you to know where the Phragmites is or was (page 4), what has been done, and how the results turned out. We also want to talk about the future to ensure we maintain what has been achieved. The work of the Project has been EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL! You can see some striking before and after photos on our Facebook page: Manitoulin Phragmites Project. On Manitoulin Island, all of the Lake Huron shore from South Baymouth to the Mississaugi Lighthouse is completely clear of Phragmites except the mouth of Blue Jay Creek and the bay east of Burnt Island. On Cockburn Island and Great Duck Island, all sand dune habitat is now clear of Phrag.

  • Manitoulin Island Regional Energy &Emissions
    Manitoulin Island Regional Energy and Emissions Plan January 2021 Executive Summary This Regional Energy and Emissions Plan (REEP) for Manitoulin Island is presented at a time (Fall 2020) when the world, as we know it, is going through a period of enormous transformational change. Still reeling from the effects of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, our human population is realizing its own vulnerabilities and debating “what is next”? The question remains: How do we plan and prepare for a future that is more resilient, not only in terms of our response to the virus; but more generally in terms of how we develop communities more sustainably and in a way that ‘meets the needs of present generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’.1 Proponents of sustainability are keen to ensure the redevelopment of our societies and communities will not only lead to satisfactory human health outcomes, but result in a more open, tolerant, and inclusive society - complimented by a vibrant local economy - that effectively balances the risks and effects of climate change. From a global perspective, the Paris Agreement serves as our current barometer of progress. Negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the agreement came into effect on November 4, 2016, and established the goal of holding an increase in global temperatures to between 1.5ºC - 2ºC above pre-industrial levels. It also introduced a commitment for signatures to the agreement to engage more constructively in the planning and implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. While the purpose of this study is to focus on regional energy and emissions, it is important to recognize how the three primary pillars of sustainability (social, economic, and environmental factors) should be considered as an integrated approach to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
