  • Capsule Railway History of Peterborough County
    23ae Peterborough County – A Capsule Railway History BACKGROUND Before the Railway Age, travel and the movement of goods in Upper Canada were primarily dependent on wa- terways, and primitive trails that passed for roads. Needless to say, both of these modes of transportation relied very much on the weather of the seasons. Agitation for a more efficient mode of transportation had started to build with the news of the new-fangled railroad, but the economic depression of 1837 and the years following were bad years for Upper Canada and for railway development, especially in view of the unsettled economic and political conditions in England, on whose financial houses the crucial investment in railway ventures de- pended. However, in 1849 the Province of Canada passed the Railway Guarantee Act which guaranteed the interest on loans for the construction of railways not less than 75 miles in length. It was this legislation that trig- gered Canada's railway building boom. While the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada (GTR), incorporated in 1852, busied itself with its trunk line along Lake Ontario, the waterfront towns were busy with their own railway ambitions. They saw themselves as gate- ways to the untapped resources of the "hinterland". Thus emerged a pattern of "development roads" from Whit- by, Port Hope, Cobourg, Trenton, Belleville, Napanee, Kingston, Brockville and Prescott. (Toronto had already led the way with its portage road to Collingwood, and later participated in additional development roads to Owen Sound and Coboconk.) North of Lake Ontario were rich natural resources and a rapidly expanding population as successive waves of immi- grants had to seek land further north from Lake Ontario.

  • Strategic Agenda Was Developed Simultaneously with the 2013- 2015 Business Plan
    PETERBOROUGH – LAKEFIELD POLICE SERVICES BOARD STRATEGIC AGENDA November 2012 INDEX page Introduction 3 Basic Assumptions 5 Observations and Analysis 6 Police Priorities 11 List of Reference Documents 13 MPM Consulting Hodgson Associates Page 2 Introduction As part of its regular business planning process, the Peterborough Lakefield Police Services Board decided to create a corollary report that would focus on a period much longer than the three year timeframe for the Business Plan. This Strategic Agenda was developed simultaneously with the 2013- 2015 Business Plan. Information gained through review of existing documentation as well as observations and opinions provided during the consultation phase of the business planning process, provided the basis for the recommendations contained in the Strategic Agenda. The Peterborough Lakefield Police Service is considered a leader in the provision of community based policing. By following the principles and priorities contained in the Strategic Agenda, the Board can continue this strong commitment to the communities it represents. The Strategic Agenda depends on projections that have already been developed with respect to the long term changes identified for both communities. By studying these trends, the Board can develop general directions for the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service that will direct the planning process and provide guidance for changes that are planned for the operation and administration of the Police Service. Ultimately the Strategic Agenda should provide a basis for fundamental organizational improvements that will occur in the next few decades. It should also assist the Board in determining which financial, and human resource, investments best reflect the realities in these changing communities.
