Media Release I want to first acknowledge and thank my Council for KHR, who from the beginning of this process were in full support in taking the lead on behalf of all stakeholders to pursue an amendment to the Bonnechere River Water Management Plan with the intention to limit severe flooding along the Bonnechere River Water System. It has been a long tedious process and we have worked hard to achieve this amendment. I want to personally thank MPP John Yakabuski, without his strong support, we would never have achieved this amendment to the Bonnechere Water Management Plan, Laura Lapenskie from MPP John Yakabuski’s office for her insight and guidance, Shawn Cameron of Renfrew Power Generation for his guidance, expertise and cooperation, Michelle Lavictoire of Bowfin Environmental Consulting for her expertise , and who have all diligently worked together as a team on behalf of the all the stakeholders to fulfill the requirements and conditions to satisfy the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO). As stated, we have been working extremely hard on the stakeholder’s behalf towards the ultimate end of getting a permanent amendment to the Bonnechere River Water Management Plan. To date our costs to achieve this amendment is approximately $80,000.00. I want to also acknowledge the assistance and support from the Round Lake Property Owner Association and the Golden Lake Property Association for their generous donation of $3,000.00 each and a $5,000.00 donation from the Township of Bonnechere Valley and $5,000.00 from the Township of North Algona/Wilberforce. To date we have met all the conditions and requirements including mandatory monitoring and sign offs, and we are pleased to advise that all required reports, monitoring requirements have been met and our amendment to the Bonnechere River Water Management Plan is officially approved. On behalf of all the stakeholders of the Bonnechere Water Management Plan we want to thank all those involved in this long process and partnership. Mayor Janice Tiedje Township of Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards .

The Proposed Development Area (PDA) is located within Lot 14 Concession 1, Horton Township (Geo.), Town of Renfrew, County of Renfrew, Ontario. The PDA is approximately 15 ha and is bounded on the southwest by an old rail bed, to the southeast and northeast by the backyards of houses along Aberdeen Street, Mason Avenue and McAndrew Ave, and to the northwest an agricultural ﬁeld. The Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment included consultation with local heritage organizations, reviews of aerial imagery, archaeological potential maps, national topographic maps, physiographic maps and early maps of the area. In addition, information regarding known archaeological sites in the vicinity, land grants, and historical reference books for the PDA was reviewed. A site visit to assess archaeological potential was conducted November 29, 2017. Based upon the review of background material and the site visit, there are areas with and without potential for the presence of archaeological resources within the PDA.

Settler Colonialism and the Failed-Settlement Narrative in the Ottawa-Huron Tract, 1850–1910

Settler Colonialism and the Failed-Settlement Narrative in the Ottawa-Huron Tract, 1850–1910 by Derek Murray B.A. (Honours), University of Guelph, 2007 M.A., University of Guelph, 2009 G.Cert., Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, University of Victoria, 2014 Supervisory Committee Dr. Eric W. Sager, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Lynne S. Marks, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Peter A. Baskerville, Outside Member Department of History and Classics, University of Alberta iii Abstract In the 1850s, the government of Canada West initiated a project to colonize a vast region of the Canadian Shield known as the Ottawa-Huron Tract. Later, in his influential interpretation, Arthur Lower argued the myth of the inexorable forward movement of the settlement frontier was here shattered by a reality of lakes, rocks, and forest inherently unsuitable for farming. This refrain continues to be repeated by proponents of what I call the failed-settlement narrative.

5.3 Highlights in the Settlement History of Renfrew County
OTTAWA RIVER COMMUNITY HERITAGE 218 5.3 Highlights in the Settlement History of Renfrew County Len Hopkins Co‐Chair, Ottawa River Heritage Designation Committee Renfrew County follows the Ottawa River from Arnprior all the way to the Township of Head, Clara and Maria upriver from Rolphton. It is the largest county in Ontario. Before human presence, the Champlain Sea stretched as far inland as Deep River. The original shoreline of the Champlain Sea passes through Petawawa. The modern settlement history of Renfrew County begins with today’s Arnprior, Braeside, and McNab along the Ottawa River. In 1825, McNab Township included today’s Arnprior, Braeside, and McNab. It consisted of a strip of land about six miles wide along Lac des Chats (Shaw), which was a deep clay deposit dating from the Champlain Sea. While much of McNab Township had excellent agricultural land, in parts of the township the surface was a challenge to farm. Chief Archibald McNab, the 13th Chief of Clan McNab, immigrated from Killin, Scotland, to Upper Canada in 1823. He then went to York (later Toronto), the provincial capital and proposed to the Government that he settle a township with his clansmen. The Laird of McNab was given directions to a surveyed township which he later called McNab. The Laird himself was granted 1200 acres. He then wrote to his cousin in Scotland, Dr. Hamilton, to send out settlers. Laird McNab built Kinnell Lodge near the mouth of the Madawaska River, in today’s Town of Arnprior. Later he built Waba Cottage at White Lake, which has been restored.

The Bonnechere Cultural Heritage Project
Social Science Research in Parks and Protected Areas 31 THE BONNECHERE CULTURAL HERITAGE PROJECT Jim Fraser Park Superintendent Bonnechere Provincial Park, Ontario Parks Box 220, Pembroke, ON K8A 6X4 Phone: (613) 757-2103 [email protected] ABSTRACT In August 1994, a number of avocational, academic, museum, consulting and government archaeolo- gists joined with writer/historian Rory MacKay, representatives from the Ontario Archaeological Society, the Algonquins’ of Golden Lake First Nation and Ontario Parks staff to discuss their interests in the region’s cultural heritage. Five days of think tank sessions on the history and archaeology of the Bonnechere proved to be an excellent forum for the rich exchange of information, ideas and theories about cultural resource protection. From this was born, the Bonnechere Cultural Heritage Project, whose team efforts have provided public archaeology programs at Basin Depot, Lafleur Homestead, Egan Farm and the mouth of the Bonnechere at Round Lake. While not every archaeological site or proj- ect is suitable for public visitation and/or participation, the discipline of archaeology as a whole bene- fits from the public’s exposure to the science of archaeology. This presentation will review: 1) the impor- tance of partnering; 2) findings of the digs to date; and, 3) the role of the public in archaeology. INTRODUCTION “On our way up the stream, we repeatedly found it almost entirely blocked up with square timber, sometimes for miles together.” (Alexander Murray, Geological Survey of Canada, 1853) Rising from the gentle waters of McKaskill and North Branch Lakes in Algonquin Provincial Park, the Bonnechere River meanders for approximately 145 km in a southeast direction where it enters the Ottawa River.
