  • THE CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION of the CRS SITE, SIMCOE COUNTY, ONTARIO David R. Bush
    Bush: THE CRS SITE 17 THE CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION OF THE CRS SITE, SIMCOE COUNTY, ONTARIO David R. Bush ABSTRACT Through the application of the coefficient of similarity test (Emerson, 1966, 1968) on the ceramics excavated from the CRS site, the chronological position and cultural affiliation of this site was established. The ceramic vessel and pipe analyses of the recovered materials indicate the site to be a very Late Prehistoric Huron village occupied between A.D. 1550 and A.D. 1580. INTRODUCTION The preliminary excavation of the CRS site (from 1968-1973) was undertaken with the hopes of establishing the site's proper cultural and temporal position. Further studies of cultural processes could then proceed once the cultural and chronological position of the CRS site was evaluated. It has been the aim of this research to utilize the coefficient of similarity test as one method of determining the chronological placement and cultural affiliation of this site. The following is the study of the ceramics excavated from the CRS site. Simcoe County, Ontario (Figure 1, taken from Emerson, 1968, p. 63). SITE DESCRIPTION The exact location of the CRS site has been withheld by personal request of the landowner. The site lies approximately one-half mile east of Hog Creek and approximately 3-1 /2 miles south of Sturgeon Bay. The site sits within the 900 foot contour line about 320 feet above the water level of Georgian Bay. Within a 2 mile radius of the site the soils are generally deep, moderately well drained, and have a good water holding capacity.

  • History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017
    History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017 If anyone has been to the Simcoe County Museum on Highway 26, they will have seen the beautiful Huron-Wendat artifacts and replica longhouse they have on permanent display. With all the discussion around Anishnaabeg (Ojibwe people) and the Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe language) program, many may be confused as to why there are different nations in the same region. Hopefully, I can shed some light on this question. This region was once inhabited by the Huron-Wendat nations, until about 350 years ago. The Huron- Wendat are a confederacy of five Haudenosaunee-speaking (Iroquois) nations. They are the; Attinniaoenten ("people of the bear"), Hatingeennonniahak ("makers of cords for nets"), Arendaenronnon ("people of the lying rock"), Atahontaenrat ("two white ears" i.e., “deer people”) and Ataronchronon ("people of the bog"). These nations had once been as far south as the Virginias and Ohio Valley, but had settled in this region pre-contact. These nations came into contact with the French settlers in the early 1600s, and it was this contact that caused a great deal of epidemics such as measles, influenza, and smallpox amongst the nations. The term ‘Huron’ comes from a demeaning nickname for the nation, which means ‘boar’s head’ in French and was used in reference to ruffians. The Wendat were enemies of the five Haudenosaunee nations (later joined by the Tuscarora in 1722 and became the Six Nations we know today). By the mid-1600s the Wendat population had been reduced by half, from approximately 20,000 to 9,000 by the epidemics brought by the French settlers living in close quarters with the nations.

  • How Well-Protected Are Greenlands in Simcoe County?
    HOW WELL-PROTECTED ARE GREENLANDS IN SIMCOE COUNTY? Proportion of total land area in each 'level of protection'. County of Simcoe July 2019 To see the full legend, go to bit.ly/greenlandsreport. Map produced by Assim Sayed Mohammed and Kirby Calvert, Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics, University of Guelph, on behalf of the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition. HOW WELL-PROTECTED ARE GREENLANDS IN SIMCOE COUNTY? The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition’s greenlands[i] mapping project seeks to identify how well- protected Simcoe County forests, wetlands and shorelines are by analyzing the strength of the policies that protect them, and mapping the results of our findings. Cartographers created four maps for this research, showing the land use mix in Simcoe County, the breakdown of the levels of protection, the locations of aggregate resources that could eat into the best protected greenlands if extraction were permitted, and the features identified in our “Best Protected” category. What should we have? Forest cover 50% forest cover or more of the watershed is likely to support most potential species, and healthy aquatic systems.[ii] Simcoe County has 22%, but is losing forest cover. Wetlands The greater of (a) 10% of each major watershed and 6% of each subwatershed, or (b) 40% of the historic watershed wetland coverage, should be protected and restored, and no net loss of wetlands. [iii] Simcoe County has 14% wetland cover based on our analysis, and approximately half of its historic wetland cover.[iv] Simcoe County is losing wetlands. [v] Simcoe County’s land use mix does not meet ideal greenlands protection targets, but it is possible to get it right in Simcoe County, and permanently protect an effective Natural Heritage System to buffer our waters and ecosystem from the impacts of climate change and development.

  • Identifying Land Acquisition Strategies for Simcoe County Forests a Review of Securement Strategies in Ontario
    Identifying Land Acquisition Strategies for Simcoe County Forests A Review of Securement Strategies in Ontario by Anna Ketchum A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Forest Conservation Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design University of Toronto © Copyright by Anna Ketchum 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Graeme Davis and the rest of the forestry staff at the County of Simcoe for the opportunity to learn and work in such an incredible role for my MFC internship and for giving me direction on a research topic for my capstone. Thank you to Dr. Anne Koven for providing guidance, feedback, and support throughout this process. Finally, thank you to my peers and friends in the MFC program for their kindness, camaraderie, and support. 2 EXCUTIVE SUMMARY Simcoe County Forests are municipally owned, and managed forested lands located in Central Ontario, originally established and expanded through the Agreement Forest Program. Historically, Simcoe County acquired and restored marginal agricultural land, known as ‘wastelands’ which were the result of the reduction in forest cover, erosion, and depletion of topsoil by wind and rain. While the restoration of degraded agricultural land and expansion of revenue from timber sales was the initial priority for the acquisition of County Forests, enhancement of natural heritage and recreational opportunities have become increasingly important priorities for the County. Current land acquisition protocols for the County of Simcoe are based on documentation nearly 25 years old, and with the centennial of the County Forests in 2022, land acquisition priorities should be reviewed. With pressure on the County to increase forest lands due to an influx in population and challenges in maintaining wood flow, the review of land acquisition strategies from similar municipalities in Ontario and conservation organization organizations within Simcoe County could provide insight on how the County may align its management of the municipal forest to meet shared goals.

  • Where Are All the Canadian Millennials Moving To? Hint: It’S Not the City of Toronto
    Centre for Urban Research and Land Development Where Are All the Canadian Millennials Moving To? Hint: It’s Not the City of Toronto. By: Diana Petramala and Dmytro Kharena February 20, 2020 We often hear about how the immigration of Millennials is boosting population and growth in Canada’s major cities, especially in Toronto. But, what’s going on with the more than 9 million Millennials already living in Canada? Where are they moving to and from within the country? Millennials (defined here as those aged 23 to 38 as of mid-2019) are now the biggest demographic cohort in Canada. The majority of Millennials are finishing school, starting their careers and are at an age where they are leaving their parental home and entering the rental or homeownership markets. So, where are they going? It looks like resident Millennials are giving up big cities like Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto for places with more affordable homeownership options like Ottawa, Simcoe County and Waterloo – to name just a few (see Map 1 and Figure 1a and b). Centre for Urban Research Where Are All the Canadian Millennials Moving To? 1 and Land Development February 20, 2020 The Population moves within Canada through: • Net intraprovincial migration: Moving to another municipality in the same province; or • Net interprovincial migration: Moving from one province to another. • “Net” refers to these estimates being is calculated as the number of people moving in less the number of people moving out. The average annual net flow of Millennials across Canadian cities is measured here as the sum of these two components of population change as estimated by Statistics Canada for the 12 months ending July 1, 2018 and 2019.[1] Five of the top six destinations for Millennials moving within the country are in Ontario, but Toronto is not one of them Ottawa is the top destination for Millennials moving within Canada, attracting a net 3,100 Millennials per year between July 1 2017 and July 1, 2018, largely driven by interprovincial migration.
