Canadian Provincial Censuses, 1763-1861 Canadian Provincial Censuses, 1763-1861 MSS -037 (www.maplestarsandstripes.com/38) Post -Conquest Head Counts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The four major censuses conducted after the Conquest and before Confederation were an attempt to count the population of this growing region. However, there are gaps, and returns for some areas Sandra are missing. Goodwin Besides these broad censuses, many provinces, regions, cities, towns, and parishes took their own head count, and some do survive. Only http://www.maplestarsandstripes .com The major censuses have been digitized and placed online. Others are on microfilm or were transcribed and published by various local [email protected] societies. An understanding of geography helps to understand the censuses. Between 1763 and 1861, there were several geographic name Copyright 2015 Goodwin Genealogy Productions changes as you can see in the chart below: Three Types of Censuses Nominal: includes the names of everyone in the household. Women are listed with their maiden names. Head of household: other members of household listed as total numbers or divided into age groups by gender and age.

  • The Migration of African Americans to the Canadian Football League During the 1950S: an Escape from Discrimination?
    IASE/NAASE Working Paper Series, Paper No. 07-13 The Migration of African Americans to the Canadian Football League during the 1950s: An Escape from Discrimination? Neil Longley†, Todd Crosset††, and Steve Jefferson††† June 2007 Abstract The institutional racial discrimination that existed in American professional team sports prior to World War II resulted in African American players effectively being barred from playing in the major professional leagues. Although the NFL color barrier did officially fall in 1946, to be quickly followed by the fall of the MLB color barrier one year later when Jackie Robinson made his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers, these events were just the beginning of the struggles for African American athletes. Integration proceeded very slowly during the next two decades, and economists have shown that African Americans continued to suffer from a variety of forms of discriminatory treatment. However, it is the argument of this paper that the literature that examines discrimination during this era is incomplete, in that it ignores the experiences of a small, but relatively significant, group of African American football players who actually chose to leave their own country – and correspondingly leave the racially-charged environment of mid-20th century America – to head north to play professional football in the Canadian Football League (CFL). †Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003, Phone (413): 545-5059, e-mail: [email protected] ††Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 †††Department of Sport Management, Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 Beginning in 1946, a steady flow of African Americans began to migrate to the CFL which, at the time, was a legitimate competitor league to the NFL.

  • Montreal, Quebec
    MONTREAL, QUEBEC Montreal is the port city where their crossing of the Atlantic ended for many Lithuanians. So it is not surprising that the 1951 Canadian census indicates 3,438 Lithuanians in Montreal and 552 in the suburb of Verdun. Community leader Jonas Kardelis wrote in Lietuvių Enciklopedija (Lithuanian Encyclopaedia) that “Montreal’s Lithuanian community was established about 1900, but the exact date is unknown. Before 1901, no statistics were compiled about Lithuanians and later census figures lumped Lithuanians together with Hungarians and Moravians. It was only after 1921 that Lithuanians were listed separately… The first recorded Lithuanian family name is that of the Štarkas brothers, who arrived from Glasgow in 1902…The number of Lithuanians in Montreal increased after the 1905 revolution because many fled czarist repression…A Lithuanian émigré office was opened in Montreal, with a branch office in Kaunas.” Lithuanians established many organizations in Montreal from 1904 onwards: the Saint Anthony and Saint Paul Mutual Aid Society (established in 1904 and disbanded the following year); the Saint Casimir Mutual Aid Society (22 October 1905); a local chapter of the Lithuanians in America Union; Saint Casimir’s Parish (1907); the Vytautas the Great Society (1907); the Lithuanian Socialist Alliance (1908); the Birutė Mutual Aid Society (1909); Saint Ann’s Society (1911); Saint Elizabeth’s Society (1919); the newspaper Darbininkų Balsas (Voice of the Workers) (1932); a chapter of the Sons and Daughters of Lithuania Society (1928); the Lithuanian Canadian Council (1940). Later on the LCC and the Seimelis, an umbrella group for Montreal’s Lithuanian organizations, were established.

The first is an examiniation of the process of acculturation, defined here as the process of learning skills and strategies native to another group. The second is comparative and examines the causes for the relative success that the Portuguese had in learning to accommodate and be accepted in Canada. By the same token the sources of acculturative stress for the Sikhs will be identified. The two groups are comparable along several dimensions such as age, education, skills, knowledge of English on arrival and so on.

  • A Report on Evidence-Based Practice in the Provision of Policing Services to Aboriginal Peoples
    Challenge, Choice, & Change: A Report on Evidence-Based Practice in the Provision of Policing Services to Aboriginal Peoples Prepared by ∗ www.hsresources.ca November 2004 ∗ Opinions expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Ipperwash Inquiry or the Commissioner Challenge, Choice & Change 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is paper #12, one of more than 20 research documents commissioned by the Ipperwash Inquiry for the purpose of assisting in the development of the Inquiry’s “Part 2” recommendations. Those recommendations will consider both “systemic” and “operational” issues relating to the Inquiry’s mandate of assessing evidentiary information and making recommendations regarding the avoidance of violence during confrontations between police and Aboriginal peoples. In preparing this report, researchers reviewed more than 15,000 pages of material gleaned from inquiries, commissions, studies, reports and evaluations of Aboriginal–police relations in Canada, Australia, and the United States. Unfortunately, the original plan to identify only “evidence-based” initiatives had to be abandoned—there was little evidence about what really worked. There was, however, consensus in three significant areas as to what “should” and, in some cases, what “seemed” to be working. It also became evident that the potential for significantly impacting crime and victimization of Aboriginal peoples simply through adjustments to Aboriginal–police relations was limited. The reality of Aboriginal “overrepresentation” in the Canadian criminal justice system is that the circumstances that give rise to this overrepresentation are principally age, poor education, unemployment, and substance abuse; by and large, conditions that are beyond the criminal justice system’s ability to ameliorate.

It argues that in the prison, processes of colonialism, decolonization, and neocolonialism took place simultaneously. In the nineteenth century, the prison was built as part of a network of colonial institutions and polices. It was imagined, designed, and built by representatives of the Canadian state alongside other colonial institutions, drawing on similar intellectual traditions.

Nevertheless, neither nationally, nor provincially, has this group received much academic attention, especially for the years between the end of the Second World War and the building of the Berlin Wall when about 200,000 German-speaking persons arrived in Canada. Based on the life stories of fifty German immigrants interviewed in British Columbia, published biographies, and archival records from Germany and Canada, this study reconstructs the conditions in interwar and postwar Europe that led to the mass-emigration of Germans in the late 1940s and the 1950s.

  • Research Paper
    Canada’s First Shopping Centre: The Early Evolution of West Vancouver’s Park Royal Maia Janz UBC Undergraduate Student April 29th, 2016 Report prepared at the request of the West Vancouver Historical Society, in partial fulfillment of UBC Geography 429: Research in Historical Geography, for Dr. David Brownstein. !2 Abstract The introduction of shopping centres to the retail environment in Canada in the twentieth century was an idea both innovative and risky. Up until the 1950’s, Canadian retail had been centralized within the urban cores, an organizational trait which would be altered following the addition of Canada’s first shopping centre, Park Royal, in 1950. Park Royal was a thoughtfully crucial component in the success of West Vancouver as a desirable residential neighbourhood situated within the periphery of Vancouver’s cityscape. The addition of regional shopping centres like Park Royal altered the shopping experience for suburban residents by localizing goods and services which had previously only been accessible outside of resident’s immediate areas. Shopping centres were modelled after existing shopping districts in North America which tended to cater towards the automobile-owning middle and upper class consumer. Eventually, the success of the shopping centre could be seen in mass adoption of retail development nationwide. In support of the West Vancouver Historical Society’s next book, this composition will explore the urban development in Park Royal Shopping Centre’s first thirty years of growth. !3 Introduction In the period before the addition of Canada’s first shopping centre, the retail environment in suburban spaces was minimal. Retail activity was focused primarily within the various shopping districts of the urban cores, to which consumers would flock to purchase goods both for necessity and, less commonly, for leisure.

  • The Interchangeable Worker and Fight­ Ing Back: Identifying Some Strategic Issues
    DEBATE/DEBAT The Interchangeable Worker and Fight­ ing Back: Identifying Some Strategic Issues Ester Reiter WORKPLACE ORGANIZING AND MILITANCY are the tactics that workers have used to protect their interests against the advances of capital. In the post World War II period, the trade union movement has been successful in im­ proving wages and working conditions for working people - primarily in large industrial workplaces such as auto or steel works, where male breadwinners are employed over long periods of time. In smaller-scale firms, especially those in more competitive industries such as the garment trades, trade un­ ions have found it harder to improve working conditions. Even those sectors afforded the protection of collective bargaining have found in recent years, however, that it does not provide sufficient mechan­ isms for guaranteeing adequate social and economic entitlements. Plant shut­ downs and relocations, reduction in wages and benefits are widespread, aided by technological advances that make large numbers of workers dispensable. Existing collective bargaining structures have been unable to protect organized workers, let alone provide the means to organize new sectors of the working class - the growing numbers of women with families and young people seek­ ing paid employment.

  • Call the Doctor? Understanding Health Service Trends in New Brunswick, Part I, 1918–1950
    JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES ISSUE 8 (FALL 2017) Call the Doctor? Understanding Health Service Trends in New Brunswick, Part I, 1918–1950 Sasha Mullally and Katherine MacDonald Abstract This article initiates an online discussion of health service trends in New Brunswick over the course of the twentieth century. It sets the stage by describing changes in physician service access, examining registration data from the American Medical Directory for 1918 and 1950. When comparing data sets, three distinct trends emerge. First, we see the centralization of physician services in larger population centres, especially those communities with larger general hospitals. Second, a more equitable physician per population ratio between anglophone and francophone, southern and northern, regions of the province in 1950 as compared to 1918 is evident. Finally, the transnational Canada- U.S. border becomes more important in defining physician career paths (especially medical and post-graduate education) as the twentieth century unfolds. Résumé Le présent article amorce une discussion en ligne des tendances en matière de services de santé au Nouveau-Brunswick au cours du XXe siècle. Il ouvre la voie en décrivant les changements liés à l’accès aux services médicaux, à l’examen des données relatives à l’enregistrement du American Medical Directory pour 1918 et 1950. Quand on compare les ensembles de données, on voit que trois grandes tendances émergent. D’abord, on voit la centralisation des services fournis par des médecins dans les grands centres urbains, notamment dans les collectivités ayant de plus grands hôpitaux généraux. Ensuite, on note qu’il est clair qu’il y a une répartition plus équitable de médecins entre les anglophones et les francophones, entre le nord et le sud de la province et entre les régions de la province en 1950 comparativement à en 1918.
