FOREWORD ARDA is more than an Act of Parliament. It is more than policymakers, administrators, planners and researchers; more than problems; more than resources that need to be devel- oped or reorganized. It is, above all, a means of improving the lot of rural people, of helping them to rise above the con- ditions that cramp their lives and stifle their hopes for their children. A program such as this, if it is to work well, demands understanding and co-operation at all levels- family, community, regional, provincial and national. To know what is needed, and how the needs may be met, demands research and study. That is why so much effort, both federal and provincial, has been put into ARDA research. That is also the reason why as many people as possible, among those involved in ARDA, should have access to the results of the research. The federal ARDA administration has undertaken to pub- lish and distribute research reports that provide useful back- ground information, not only for those who make the decisions, but for those who carry out the decisions and those who are affected by them. The research study reported in this volume, Life and Poverty in the Maritimes, was sponsored by the govern- ments of Canada and the provinces involved. e /OaSO OM Maurice Sauv6 Minister of Forestry and Rural Development Canada PREFACE The Contract This survey, requested by the federal ARDA administra- tion, Department of Forestry and Rural Development, was carried out within the framework of Project No. 15002. The views ex- pressed are entirely those of the author, and do not necessarily represent government policies. The Terms of the Contract were: 1. To conceive, organize and carry out a geographical sur- vey in order to evaluate ideas of comfort and poverty in some typical counties of the Maritime Provinces. 2. To ensure the co-ordination of the results of this sur- vey with the observations derived from data furnished by people engaged in other scientific disciplines, in order to: (a) help in establishing a valid process for defining depressed areas, according to factors observed and evaluated on the spot; (b) bring out the significant elements or factors in those depressed areas on the basis of criteria es- tablished by comparing the various geographical areas surveyed; (c) collect material necessary for an understanding of life and problems in these areas, and use this material as a general outline of factors which could ba applied to similar regions in the Maritime Provinces. Choice of Localities Many readers may be perplexed by the omission in the Introduction of the criteria and factors which led to the choice of the localities surveyed and the persons interviewed. The reason is simple. After selecting the survey counties, a centre of operations, typical of the milieu and the traffic hub for investigations, was established. As the purpose was not to draw up an inventory or a monograph but to carry out a geographical reconnaissance, we thought it sufficient to stick to the three following operations: a survey of a typical, well-situated centre and of the surround- ing district, a geographical reconnaissance of the entire county, and a survey of typical areas (sub-regions) - fishing coasts, agricultural valleys or plains, and forest tablelands. Thus, by residing in Cap Lumière and in Richibuctou Village, twin localities which form one of the best integrated Acadian com- munities in Kent (centre OL operations in the first survey region) we were able to make a thorough study and also the wid- est range of comparisons between thriving and depressed areas, from Claire-Fontaine to Cocagne. In the same way, on Prince Edward Island, a base in thl north-east (Souris) - a veritable microcosm - made it easier to understand one of the most signi- ficant areas of the survey regions. Ch6ticamp was the obvious choice in Inverness North, and so was Oak Bay in Charlotte. The only problem of location arose in Digby-Yarmouth, which is on a long stretch of coast with virtually continuous settlements. With regard to the people interviewed, it was a matter, as in any survey of this nature, of maintaining a balance between contact with elements representing social and economic leader- ship and with elements representing the mass - the positive and the problematic elements. Since we wanted several points of view on each question, we interviewed fishermen, fish process- ing workers, fish buyers and factory managers with the aim of understanding the basic nature of fishing in all its aspects. iv The same applied to the fishing, processing, and foodco-opra- fives and to Credit Unions. Thus, the reader should not expect to find the same rigid system applied in each chapter. A word is needed to emphasize the simplicity of the working method in the field, which was tied directly to the choice of localities to be surveyed and persons to be inter- viewed. It was essentially a matter of living in a milieu, and among its inhabitants; the intensity of the survey was to recon- cile the scope of the program with the briefness of the stay. Two months of laboratory work provided some academic and statis- tical knowledge of the area to be surveyed. In the field, the map, photography (more than two hundred slides), direct investi- gation and the daily annotated travel journal providedour work- ing tools. This method sufficed for observing man, individually and collectively, in relation to his living milieu, at work and at rest, at sea and in the fields, on the forest tablelands and in the villages. This was how we proceeded. Geographical re- connaissance trips were the basis for detecting most of theex- planatory factors determining the phenomena under study, andto find some of our most valuable informants. We have not hesitated to record contradictory informa- tion, comments and evaluations on any subject. Each man is en- titled to his own beliefs, and the answer wewere seeking often emerged only from a compromise, by establishing a common denom- inator between contradictory points of view. The plan for this study of the Maritime Provinces bc- gan taking shape in February 1965, when discussions opened with some senior officers of ARDA in Ottawa. Following this, there was a general meeting of some 10 members of the scientific staff. This brought together the theory, practice, experience and, above all, the determination of a group who wanted to study the rural situation and its problems concretely and efficiently. We also called upon many colleagues; geographers, v XIIIIIOrusworr town-planners, economists, anthropologists, demographers and others, asking for their comments and criticisms of thetext, and for interviews. It is thanks to them that our approach was kept within realistic bounds. Special mention should be made of the professorial staff of the Institute ofTown Plan- ning, who provided an environment wherewe could work with many disciplines that acted as a corrective influence. We thank all of them. During the field work (July and August 1965)we made full use of the people of the Maritime Provinces, questioning them ceaselessly, and gathering documents and figures. Some interviews took four or five hours. We encountered in them understanding, interest and co-operation. This was our first extended contact with the Maritimes, and itsoon aroused our desire to return to this modest yet proud people, who live in picturesque or spectacular surroundings, and who have preserved a way of life and a dignity that deserve respect. It is thus with real regret that we bring

  • Genealogy Basics – Family History, Educators in My Tobin Family
    Genealogy Basics – Family History, Educators in My Tobin Family By Joe Petrie INTRODUCTION Many Genealogy organizations have the word History or Historical in the title. For example, Cape Breton Genealogy and Historical Association (CBGHA) and Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador (FHSNL) are a couple of organizations that use the terms. In a Genealogy Basic article about the United Kingdom and Ireland web site (Genuki), I used the Genuki site’s definition of Family History. Suggest that you read it. The article is in cbgen Records\Research. It is labeled “Genealogy Basics – An Amazing Irish Web Site”. My title of the article indicates that the Genuki site had a fantastic Getting Started link. Other tabs on the site were not reviewed. My simple view of Family History is: If the author includes non-verifiable oral history, it is a Family History document. My Register Reports in Records\Family are Family History Reports. Please note that a report by a paid professional genealogist often will only include verifiable facts. Some professionals go beyond one verifiable fact. For example, members of the Association of Professional Genealogists try to verify using two verifiable sources. Also, please remember that most genealogy teachers encourage students to start with relatives. A few teachers even say that the facts should be verified. Some teachers start on-line with Census records. Latest US Census records are for 1940. Canada Census records are for 1921. BACKGROUND I’ll cover eight of generations of my Tobin direct line family or siblings who taught (or still teach) starting with Patrick Tobin who immigrated from Gowran, Kilkenney, Ireland to Northern Bay, Bay DeVerde, Newfoundland in the early 1800s.

The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • A Lesson in Stone: Examining Patterns of Lithic Resource Use and Craft-Learning in the Minas Basin Region of Nova Scotia By
    A Lesson in Stone: Examining Patterns of Lithic Resource Use and Craft-learning in the Minas Basin Region of Nova Scotia By © Catherine L. Jalbert A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2011 St. John’s Newfoundland Abstract Examining the Late Woodland (1500-450 BP) quarry/workshop site of Davidson Cove, located in the Minas Basin region of Nova Scotia, a sample of debitage and a collection of stone implements appear to provide correlates of the novice and raw material production practices. Many researchers have hypothesized that lithic materials discovered at multiple sites within the region originated from the outcrop at Davidson Cove, however little information is available on lithic sourcing of the Minas Basin cherts. Considering the lack of archaeological knowledge concerning lithic procurement and production, patterns of resource use among the prehistoric indigenous populations in this region of Nova Scotia are established through the analysis of existing collections. By analysing the lithic materials quarried and initially reduced at the quarry/workshop with other contemporaneous assemblages from the region, an interpretation of craft-learning can be situated in the overall technological organization and subsistence strategy for the study area. ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to thank all those who made this thesis achievable. First and foremost, this thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and support provided by my supervisor, Dr. Michael Deal. His insight throughout the entire thesis process was invaluable. I would also like to thank Dr.

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976.
