The format of this Background Report is similar to those previously produced for other neighbourhoods, in order to provide for easy comparison between Neighbourhood Plans as they are developed. The intent of the Background Report is to help Council, municipal staff, the Community Focus Group and the general public understand the dynamics of Bridgeburg as a community: its past, present and its future. It provides a compilation of available information relevant to the Neighbourhood Plan, especially demographics and land use, in order to assist in preparing informed recommendations on future development direction. Several areas of interest are reviewed in this report, and a brief summary of each is outlined below. All demographic information is obtained from the 2001 Census of Canada, the most recent year for detailed analysis available. Where possible, further extrapolation to 2006 was conducted based on other available information. Major Issues Identified through Public Consultation • Open House Information Sessions were held in October and November 2005, in order to introduce the Neighbourhood Plan concept to the community, and to receive input with respect to the broad issues and concerns. As well, two Strategic Planning Exercises were conducted in December 2005 and January 2006 with municipal staff and the Bridgeburg Community Focus Group. A number of issues were identified through these processes as being in need of study and improvement in the Bridgeburg area, including urban design and character, residential/commercial rehabilitation assistance, and the development of a Master Capital Plan for neighbourhood improvements. These issues are described in further detail in this report. Demographics • The population of Bridgeburg is about 3700, and has remained relatively stable over the last 25 years • The age structure of Bridgeburg typically reflects “baby boomers” and their children • There is a slightly lower proportion of Bridgeburg residents who are Canadian citizens, compared to Fort Erie as a whole • At 30%, the percentage of residents with higher education is almost identical to that of Fort Erie as a whole, but lower than that of the metropolitan area and the Province • The unemployment rate, at 10.5%, is markedly higher than that of Fort Erie, the province and the country. It is almost twice as high as that of the Niagara Metropolitan area. • Total Household income in Bridgeburg is identical to that of Fort Erie as a whole, at $50,000. This however is lower than the average household income of the Niagara area, the Province and Canada. Housing Trends • The housing stock in Bridgeburg is only slightly more varied than other parts of Fort Erie, with 79% of housing in the form of low-density single-detached or semi-detached dwellings • 66% of Bridgeburg dwellings are owned, and 34% are rented • Over half of the housing stock was constructed before 1946, less than 2% was constructed after 1991 1 Fort Erie Neighbourhood Plan Program "Envisioning Great Communities" Bridgeburg Neighbourhood Plan - Volume 1: Background Report • The average dwelling price in Bridgeburg is $118,000, 40% lower than the Provincial average, and 8% lower than the average dwelling price in Fort Erie. Land Use Planning • The Bridgeburg Neighbourhood contains a diverse array of land uses ranging from Residential to Commercial, Institutional and Open Space, encompassing nearly 1500 acres. • 26% of the neighbourhood is comprised of vacant lands, both inside and outside the current Urban Area Boundary. The New Official Plan designates all Bridgeburg Neighbourhood lands as being within the Urban Area Boundary, however as of the writing of this report the Official Plan had not yet been approved by the Regional Municipality of Niagara • 19% of land in Bridgeburg is used for residential purposes • 17% of the neighbourhood land is devoted to industrial use, including the CN Rail Yard • 15% of the Neighbourhood land is devoted to institutional and government uses, including road allowances and traveled roadways • 11% of the neighbourhood land is designated in the New Official Plan as “Environmental Protection” including Provincially Significant Wetlands, mainly in the western end of the neighbourhood in the vicinity of Frenchman’s Creek • 8% of Bridgeburg land is utilized for commercial uses • 4% of the neighbourhood is devoted to public parkland, including the Niagara Parks Commission riverfront greenspace Parks and Open Space • There are 3 municipal parks in the Bridgeburg neighbourhood, plus the Niagara Parks Commission riverfront greenspace, altogether comprising a total of 63 acres of programmed and non-programmed public open space. • Although there is an excess of parkland designated as “community level” and “municipal-wide level”, there is a 5.5 acre deficiency of “neighbourhood level” parkland, which the Neighbourhood Plan intends to address • The Niagara Parks Commission owns and maintains over 30 acres of linear greenspace (2.6 miles long) along the Niagara River waterfront in the neighbourhood. All space is non- programmed, and the majority of the linear space includes a well-utilized recreational trail which forms part of the Greater Niagara Circle Route and the Trans-Canada Trail system • Bridgeburg is home to Sugarbowl Park and Oakes Park, which together form a municipal- wide recreational facility including ball diamonds, tennis courts, a public library, a swimming pool, playground equipment, a railroad museum, and a central water feature surrounded by 16 acres of greenspace Schools • The Bridgeburg Neighbourhood contains two public elementary schools and one public high school. The high school serves all of eastern Fort Erie • There are no Catholic elementary or high schools within Bridgeburg, however elementary students would attend school in the Fort Erie Neighbourhood, a short distance south. High School students would travel to Port Colborne for the closest Catholic High School • Post secondary students attend college/university locally in Welland and St. Catharines, or well as outside the Niagara Region. 2 Fort Erie Neighbourhood Plan Program "Envisioning Great Communities" Bridgeburg Neighbourhood Plan - Volume 1: Background Report Cultural and Natural Heritage • The Greater Fort Erie area has a rich cultural heritage dating back over 11,000 years • Modern day settlement of the Bridgeburg area began in the early 1870s with the opening of the International Bridge • The unincorporated village was originally named Victoria, but was also known variably as Bridgeburg and International Bridge • In 1895 the village separated from Bertie Township and was incorporated as the Village of Bridgeburg, population 895 • In 1915 Bridgeburg became a Town, and in 1931 Bridgeburg annexed Fort Erie and Amigari to become the expanded “Town of Fort Erie” • The Frenchman’s Creek Wetland Complex , a Provincially Significant Natural Area, is located in the western end of the Bridgeburg Neighbourhood, and is considered an important natural resource for the community. The Neighbourhood Plan will recognize this area, as it is currently protected through policies in the New Municipal Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statements Transportation • There are four (4) Regional Highways in the Bridgeburg Neighbourhood (Thompson Road, Central Avenue, Gilmore Road and Phipps Street), serving as the main arterial routes for the Neighbourhood • The Niagara River Parkway (Niagara Boulevard) is a Provincial tourist route designed to carry leisure traffic along the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Having, unfortunately, no accurate information as to his plans of attack, general defensive arrangements can alone be suggested.

Some ethnologists believe the Shawnee descended from the Fort Ancient people. The Shawnees were wanderers, who lived in many places in the south. They became associated closely with the Delaware in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Able fighters, the Shawnees stubbornly resisted white pressures until the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. At the time of the arrival of the European explorers on the shores of the North American continent, the American Indians were living in a network of highly developed cultures. Each group lived in similar housing, wore similar clothing, ate similar food, and enjoyed similar tribal life. In the geographical northeastern part of North America, the principal American Indian tribes were: Abittibi, Abenaki, Algonquin, Beothuk, Cayuga, Chippewa, Delaware, Eastern Cree, Erie, Forest Potawatomi, Huron, Iroquois, Illinois, Kickapoo, Mohicans, Maliseet, Massachusetts, Menominee, Miami, Micmac, Mississauga, Mohawk, Montagnais, Munsee, Muskekowug, Nanticoke, Narragansett, Naskapi, Neutral, Nipissing, Ojibwa, Oneida, Onondaga, Ottawa, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Peoria, Pequot, Piankashaw, Prairie Potawatomi, Sauk-Fox, Seneca, Susquehanna, Swamp-Cree, Tuscarora, Winnebago, and Wyandot.
