    (Title of the Thesis)*

    Canada‘s Hunt for the Harmsworth: A Study in Technology and Nationalism (1934 -1961) by Ted Boniface A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 ©Ted Boniface 2009 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Beginning in the 1940‘s, two Canadian families tried to challenge for the Harmsworth Trophy, symbol of international power-boating supremacy. Canada‟s Hunt for the Harmsworth follows first the Wilsons of Ingersoll Ontario, then the Thompsons of London Ontario, as they tried to build and race the fastest speedboat of their day. The paper illustrates the impact of technology on Canada in post Second World War Canada, and it demonstrates how the story of these challengers caught the imagination of the press and of the nation. Canada‟s Hunt for the Harmsworth chronicles a story that could never again unfold as it did, and concludes that in attempting to master the technology of the time, simple sportsmen were seen as celebrities, even heroes. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Betty Ann Anderson and Paul Adamthwaite of the Archives and Collections Society in Picton, Ontario and Doug Smith of the Muskoka Lakes Museum in Port Carling, Ontario. I also made extensive use of the Woodstock Public Library, Stratford Public Library and the Stratford and Perth County Archives.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….

    FRANKIE HOWERD SHOW to FUR OR FEATHERS

    THE FRANKIE HOWERD SHOW to FUR OR FEATHERS The Frankie Howerd Show Thu 9:00-9:30 p.m., 26 Feb-8 Apr 1976 Sat 8:30-9:00 p.m., 24 Apr-5 Jun 1976 The CBC imported British comic Frankie Howerd, who had recently appeared in the BBC series Up Pompeii, to star in a situation comedy to be called Oooh, Canada.' Howerd's shtik was vulgar, typically English toilet humour and the bawdy double entendre, as he usually functioned as a character in the story as well as the show's host and commentator on the action. The premise of the show, which was retitled before it went to the air, held that Howerd played a British immigrant, unemployed in Toronto. Each show offered a different opportunity for Howerd to make a success of himself and to fail. Through the course of the series, he has to confront the different Canadian institutions that might put him on the road to success. Howerd lived in a run-down rooming house, along with the rest of the show's regular, supporting characters. They included his nosy landlady, played by Ruth Springford, and her son, played by Gary Files; Wally Wheeler, played by Jack Duffy, who lived in obscurity in the basement to avoid making alimony payments; and Denise, a model and dancer played by Peggy Mahon, who gave Howerd the opportunity to lace the show with jokes about her breasts. The show offered a form of comedy distinctly different from the CBC's own King of Kensington, whose time slot The Frankie Howerd Show took for the first part of its run, or such highly rated U.S.

Jack had been a relatively quiet man, but he had also been a terrific family man, a war hero, and someone who had pulled himself up from poverty and fatherless roots. It would be an interesting story, and I wanted my kids to know where they had come from. I also wanted to look into his family history. I had already heard intriguing stories of how his father had deserted the family, with rumors that he started one or more other families as well. And I wanted to see what kind of backgrounds his parents had come from, and what family stories had been remembered and retold. Jack didn’t talk much about these things. His father’s family was pretty much a closed subject, but then a terrific break happened, very much by accident. In my software that tracks my family tree, I had added data about Sandi as my spouse and included those relatives of hers that I knew.

    Grave Concerns: Capturing Religious Diversity in Cemetery Planning

    GRAVE CONCERNS: CAPTURING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY IN CEMETERY PLANNING by Carla Marcela Acosta Smith BES, York University, 2012 A Major Research Paper presented to Ryerson University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Planning in Urban Development Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Carla Marcela Acosta Smith 2018 Author’s Declaration for Electronic Submission of a MRP ____________________________________________________________________________ I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions. I authorize Ryerson University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I further authorize Ryerson University to reproduce this MRP by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. ii GRAVE CONCERNS: CAPTURING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY IN CEMETERY PLANNING © Carla Marcela Acosta Smith, 2018 Master of Planning in Urban Development Ryerson University ABSTRACT It has been estimated that the remaining cemetery land in Toronto will run out of space within the next 30 years. Although death is the only certainty we have in life, planners aren’t planning for it. Toronto’s population is increasingly aging, growing, and diversifying, which makes this an issue that can longer be ignored. There are 23 active cemeteries in Toronto, of which only 13 are non-denominational cemeteries that are able to capture the religious diversity for accommodating the deceased. Through this paper, it is found that cemeteries not only provide an essential public service, but they also play an important role in anchoring immigrant communities.

    View of the Literature Indicates That There Are Few Studies Available

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Hinton and approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ __________________________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2017 ©2017 Elaine B. Kahn ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Interface: The Correspondence of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and H. Marshall McLuhan (1968-1980) By ELAINE B. KAHN Dissertation Director Alexander L. Hinton This study explores the relationship of Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and seminal media theorist Marshall McLuhan through an examination of their correspondence, which has never been studied as a discrete entity. The two men were at the forefront of discussions about critical issues of globalization, especially the political uses of media, at a time when globalization was not yet a recognized keyword in the literature. All this is reflected in the correspondence. There were almost 100 items, housed at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in Ottawa, many of which have appeared in pieces in books written about either man; many of McLuhan’s are in a 1987 collection of his letters, published by Oxford University Press. Mainly, I searched through primary and secondary documents, though I did contact several of McLuhan’s children, spoke with a few people who knew either or both men and paid a visit to LAC. The letters form the second chapter of this dissertation, an intersection between Part I, which introduces them and my interest in them, and Part III, in which I take readers through the correspondence.
