  • 2020 a Sentimental Journey
    0 1 3 Lifescapes is a writing program created to help people tell their life stories, to provide support and guidance for beginner and experienced writers alike. This year marks our thirteenth year running the program at the Brantford Public Library, and A Sentimental Journey is our thirteenth collection of stories to be published. On behalf of Brantford Public Library and this year’s participants, I would like to thank lead instructor Lorie Lee Steiner and editor Shailyn Harris for their hard work and dedication to bringing this anthology to completion. Creating an anthology during a pandemic has been a truly unprecedented experience for everyone involved. Beyond the stress and uncertainty of facing a global contagion, our writers lost the peer support of regular meetings and access to resources. Still, many persevered with their writing, and it is with considerable pride and triumph that I can share the resulting collection of memories and inspiration with you. I know that many of us will look back at 2020 and remember the hardship, the fear, and the loss. It is more important than ever to remember that we – both individually and as a society – have persevered through hard times before, and we will persevere through these times as well. As you read their stories, be prepared to feel both the nostalgia of youth and the triumph of overcoming past adversity. Perhaps you will remember your own childhood memories of travelling with your family, or marvel at how unexpected encounters with interesting people can change perspective and provide insight … and sometimes, change the course of a life.

  • The Lands and Monuments Are Known Municipally As Confederation Square
    CONFEDERATION SQUARE LOCATION AND LEGAL DESCRIPTION - The lands and monuments are known municipally as Confederation Square. All the certain parcels or tracts of land and premises situate, lying and being in the City of Peterborough, in the County of Peterborough and Province of Ontario and being composed of Lots one and two on the south side of McDonnel1 Street and West of George Street and Lots one and two on the north side of Murray Street and west of George Street for the said City of Peterborough. OWNER - The Corporation of the City of Peterborough. DATE OF CREATION - August 18, 1884 SITE AND SETTING - The park is situated in the central part of the city directly east of the Peterborough Armouries and Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School. An iron fence separates those properties from the park. Confederation Square is also bound by Murray Street to the south, George Street to the east and McDonnell Street to the north. SIGNIFICANCE - Since its Crown Patent in 1825, Confederation Square has remained for public use first as the town's only burial ground (1825 - 1851), then as an agricultural park (1875 - 1877) and finally as a park. With the War Memorial dedicated to the victims of the two World Wars which was designed by famed Canadian sculptor Walter Seymour Allward, the Brown Memorial from the 1885 Northwest Rebellion designed by local architect John E. Belcher and a granite representation of the city's Honour Roll of the World Wars, the park is today a local dedication to the conflicts which made Canadian freedom a reality.

    SIR EDMUND WALKER, SERVANT OF CANADA by Barbara' Ruth Marshall B.A., York University, 1969- A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of The Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard The University of British Columbia June, 1971 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Depa rtment The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada i ABSTRACT In the laissez-faire system of the late nineteenth century, Sir Edmund Walker, Canadian businessman, saw his life in terms not of his personal gain, but of his service to his country. His Victorian curiosity and ethic of service prompted him to work for Canada in many varied areas from banking, to the arts, to planning a new imperial structure in the Round Table. By World War I, however, this Victorian ethic could no longer survive in the modern world which had evolved. Government also ended laissez-faire by entering fields which business philanthropy had neglected. While most Canadians seemed to recognize Sir Edmund's achievements, after the war they scoffed at his outdated views of service.

Mining for gypsum, or Plaster of Paris, began in Ontario in 1822 by Squire William Holme, first settler in the Paris area. Deposits of gypsum were found along the banks of the river both upstream and downstream of the town. For the first two years of mining, the gypsum was broken up by sledge hammers. In 1824, a race- way was dug to allow easy access to a grinding mill. The gypsum was sold to settlers as fertilizer and course plaster for housing.
