I sincerely thank my committee members for their criticism, insight, a¡d support during the cou¡se of this s$dy. I am most grateful: To Professor A. E. Rattray, whose enthusiasm for the historic landscape was an inspiration to me and who supported me patiently through my graduate studies at this University. To D¡. J. M. Shay fo¡ her valuable suggestions and input. To M¡. G. Thomas, for generously providing all information and necessary documents and for the support of the Canadian Parks Service's Prairie Regional Office. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to my family especially my wife, Farideh, for her encouragement, suppo¡t and patience. It is to you that this practicum is dedicated. ll ABSTRACT This practicum deals with landscape restoration at the l,ower Fort Ga¡ry National Historic Site, a cultu¡al landscape in Manitoba. The site contains historic resou¡ces of national value, and functions as an historic "anchot''for the City of Winnipeg. presently, the site lacks a cohe¡ent landscape and does not provide an appropriate setting for the historic buildings. Addressing rhis issue, and within the framework of an historic preservation strategy, it is the aim of this wo¡k to develop a landscape proposal represent- ing the Fort during the 1850-1865 period. The proposal is guided by rhemes recommended by the Canadian Pa¡ks Service. The restoration plan for the site incorporates both an understanding of the site's heritage value and today's practical concems. The f,rst part of the study explores the historical background of the site, including its relation to the fur trade in Western Canada and the impact of the Fort on the natural landscape. These studies resulted in a comprehensive body of information depicting the landscape at Lower Fon Garry during the 1850- 1865 period. In the second part, a comprehensive site inventory is provided. The results a¡e analyzrÃ,, along with the prevailing conditions and issues and oppornrnities for development are add¡essed. In the third part, planning / design criteria and guidelines are established. Recommendations for landscape restomtion are shaped by evaluation of the information gained through resea¡ch and documentadon, internationally accepted guidelines and sta¡da¡ds for treatment of historic landscapes, as well as policies established by the Canadian Pa¡ks Service. Based on these recommendations for landscape restoration, a design program and a conceptual plan are developed. The concept presented in this study suppons a particular emphæis on the relationship of the Fort to the river, enharcement of the agricultural and indusrial activities, and the reintroduction of pre-settlement vegetation cover to the site. The study concludes with a discussion of the plan elements. lil TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE PAGE Ack nowledgement I Abstract II List of Illustrations VI FIGURES VII PLATES vII TABLES uu CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 PROLOGIJE 1 1.2 PRACTICUMOBJECTTVES 2 1,3 SCOPE OF TFIE STUDY 2 1.4 EVALUATON OF ÐíSTING INFORMATION AND LIMITATIONS TO TI{E STUDY 3 CHAPTER 2: GEOGRAPHIC SETTING 5 2.1 SITECHARACTERISTICS 2,2 ZONING 5 CHAPTER 3: HISTORIC CONTEXT I 3.1 FUR TRADE AND ITS IMPACT ON TI{E I-A.NDSCAPE OFWESTERNCANADA 8 3.2 EVOLUTION OF THE LOWER FORT GARRY LANDSCAPE 9 CHAPTER 4r RESTORATION HISTORY OF LOWER 15 FORT GARRY 4.I Restoration Programs and Theme Establishment 15 4.2 A Living History Farm Feasibility Study 19 IV CHAPTER 5: METHODOLOGY )', CHAPTER 6: SITE ANALYSIS AND RELÄTED ISSUES 25 6. 1 DOCUMENTATIONOFCURRENTCONDMONS 25 6.1.i Climate 25 6.1.2 Topography 25 6.1.3 Drainage 25 6.1.4 Soils 26 6.1.5 Flooding 28 6.1.6 Vegeøtion 28 6.1.7 Visual Qualities 28 6. 1 .8 Site Access 29 6. 1 .9 Ci¡culation and Visitor Flow 30 6. 1. 10 Historic Structu¡es 30 6.2 SITE ANALYSIS IN RELATION TO THE 1850-1865 PEzuOD 31 6.2.1 Site Features 31 6.2.2 Period Plant Materials 33 6.3 ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTI.]NTIIES 33 6.3.1 Issues 33 6.3.1 Opportunities 38 CHAPTER 7: PLAN DEVELOPMENT 42 7.1 PLANNINGIDESIGNCRITERIA 42 7. 1. 1 General Development 42 7.1.2 Access 43 7. 1.3 Circulation 43 7. 1 .4 Natu¡al Landscape 45 7. i.5 User Needs 44 7.1.6 VisualQuality 44 7. 1.7 Safety 44 7. 1 .8 Maintenmce 45 7. 1.9 Agriculture 45 7.1.10 Recreation 45 V 7.2 DESIGNGUIDELINES 47 7.2.1 General 47 7.2.2 Circulation 48 7.2.3 Natural Landscape 49 7.2.4 Recreation 49 7.2.5 Visual Qualities 50 7.2.6 Agricultural Complex 51 7.2.7 Indusrial Complex 52 7.3 PROCRAMMATICELEMENTS 53 7.3.1 Parking/Enry 53 7.3.2 Visitor Reception Centre / Recreation 53 7.3.3 Indusriat Complex 56 7.3.4 York Boat Area 56 7.3.5 Native Encampment 57 7.3.6 The Fort Grounds Inside the Walls 57 7.3.7 Agricultural Complex 57 7.3.8 Riverba¡k 58 7.3.9 Administration and Maintenance Functions 58 7.3.10 General 59 7.4 SIJMMARYOFDESIGNOPTIONS FORDEVELOPMENT 62 7.4.1 Suategy 62 7.4.2 PlanOptions 62 7 .4.3 The Conceptual Plan Description and Elements 63 CHAPTER 8: SUMMARY 76 APPENDICES 92 Appendix I Guidelines and Standards for Conservatiory' Restoration of Historic Landscapes 92 Appendix 2 Chronological History of Landscape Evolution atLowerFortcarry 96 Appendix 3 List of the Existing Plant Species at the Lower Fort Garry site 101 Appendix 4 Historic Sructu¡es at I.ower Fort Garry 105 Appendix 5 Period Plmt Materials 112 VI Appendix 6 Canadian Parks Service Objectives fo¡ Restoration of Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site r32 Appendix 7 List Native Vegetation in Manitoba 134 Appendix 8 Priorities and Phasing of Plan Implementation 138 Appendix 9 Recommendations for Vegetation Establishment and landscape Maintenance t41 REFERENCES t44 vil LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ILLUSTRATION PAGE FIGURES Figure 1: Lower Fort Garry Location Map 6 Figure 2: Aerial View Of Lower Fort Garry and Context 7 Figure 3: Methodology Flow Chan 24 Figure 4: Site Inventory: Climatic C-onditions )1 Figure 5: Disribution of the Nodes Within the Site Indicating the Major Focus of Development 55 Figure 6: Conceptual Development Process 68 Figure 7: Composite Functional Relationship Diagram 7l Figure 8: Franklin House in Philadelphia and Scott House Near Winnipeg Utitizing the "Ghost House" Concept 72 Figure 9: The Big House 107 Figure 10: Saleshop / Fur Loft t07 Figure 11: Men's House 108 Figure 12: South-West Bastion 108 Figure 13: The Fort Walls and Bastions 110 Figure 14: Fraser House 110 Figure 15: Ross Cottage 111 Figure 16: Blacksmith's Shop 111 Figure 17: Planting Techniques Proposed for Refo¡estation of the Contemporary Grounds at l,ower Fort Garry t43 PLATES Plate 1: Site Inventory: Topography and Hydrology 78 Plate 2: Site lnventory: Vegetation 79 Plate 3: Site Inventory: Visual Qualities 80 Plate 4: Site lnventory: Access and Circulation 81 Plate 5: Site Inventory: Land Use and Site Features 82 Plate 6: Site Featu¡es: 1850-1865 83 Plate 7: Site Analysis: Issues and Opponunities 84 Plate 8: hogram Summary 85 Plate 9: Landscape Restoration: Concept A 86 Plate 10: Landscape Restoration:

They are places of learning, recreation and fun where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors unique opportuni- ties to experience Canada. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our Government’s goal is to ensure that each of these special places is conserved.

He spent the winter of 1792‐93 with a group of Piikani hunting buffalo in the foothills SW of Calgary. These were remarkable journeys. The river brigade travelled more than 2000 km in 80 days, hauling heavy loads, moving upstream almost all the way. With the Piikani, Fidler witnessed hunts at sites that archaeologists have since studied intensively. On both trips his assignment was to map the fur-trade route from Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains. Fidler kept two journals, one for the river trip and one for his circuit with the Piikani. The freshness and immediacy of these journals are a great part of their appeal. They are filled with descriptions of regional landscapes, hunting and trading, Native and fur-trade cultures, all of them reflecting a young man’s sense of adventure as he crossed the continent. But there is noth- ing naive or spontaneous about these remarks. The journals are transcripts of his route survey, the first stages of a map to be sent to the company’s head office in London.

INDEX SAMUEL HEARNE SAMUEL HEARNE “A YANKEE IN CANADA”: I got home this Thursday evening, having spent just one week in Canada and travelled eleven hundred miles. The whole expense of this journey, including two guidebooks and a map, which cost one dollar twelve and a half cents, was twelve dollars seventy five cents. I do not suppose that I have seen all British America; that could not be done by a cheap excursion, unless it were a cheap excursion to the Icy Sea, as seen by Hearne or McKenzie, and then, no doubt, some interesting features would be omitted. I wished to go a little way behind that word Canadense, of which naturalists make such frequent use; and I should like still right well to make a longer excursion on foot through the wilder parts of Canada, which perhaps might be called Iter Canadense. SAMUEL HEARNE ALEXANDER MACKENZIE HDT WHAT? INDEX SAMUEL HEARNE SAMUEL HEARNE 1745 February (1744, Old Style): Samuel Hearne, who would become the initial European to make an overland excursion across northern Canada to the Arctic Ocean, was born in London, England.

Cam Elliott Superintendent, Wapusk National Park & Manitoba North National Historic Sites Usually people don’t view the implementation of new rules and regulations as a reason to rejoice, but in the case of the Wapusk National Park Use Regulations, which came into effect on March 26, 2010, there is reason to celebrate. The Wapusk regulations are unique in Canada’s national park system. By allowing certain activities customarily prohibited in other national parks, they reflect and respect the unique history and traditional local use of the Wapusk National Park (NP) lands. The commitment to the distinct local use of Wapusk NP was made by the Government of Canada in the Federal- Provincial Agreement to Establish Wapusk National Park, an agreement that grew out of public consultations in the Churchill area. Certain activities are generally prohibited in national parks: hunting, trapping, gathering natural products from the land, using all terrain vehicles to access park lands, and using cabins to support these activities. However, the Wapusk Park Establishment Agreement (1996) recognizes these as traditional user activities for the longtime residents of Churchill at the time the agreement was signed. Aboriginal and treaty rights in the park, Picking berries continuation of traditional use of park lands by First Nation Photo: Parks Canada 1 people, and continuing specified traditional uses of park lands and resources by eligible non-Aboriginal people are Parks Canada Plans outlined in the agreement and are allowed through the park use regulations.
