As the course of our lives changes, another question arises; where will I live? Housing is one of the most fundamental parts of our lives. It offers us warmth and shelter, it offers an address that marks us as a citizen that can be counted, and it provides us with privacy. It is a place to call home. In planning for the future of housing, we have taken a look at the past and present. In the past, the Nipissing District Housing Needs, Supply & Affordability Study in 2008 led us to initiatives such as creating new affordable housing, more housing options and ntroduction opportunities, improvements in housing condition, and finding ways to prevent homelessness. In June of 2012, the Nipissing District hosted the Northern Ontario Service Deliverers’ Association summit on homelessness. The purpose of the two day summit was to find solutions and to be heard as one voice in Northern Ontario following an exchange of ideas to find ways to improve services for people who are homeless, to address common issues, and to use a common voice to bring about change. Findings of the final paper, Moving Forward on Affordable Housing and Homelessness in Northern Ontario, were incorporated into the full body of research conducted for this plan. In January 2013, we began looking at the present. The goal of the Nipissing District 10 Year Housing and Homelessness Plan is to “provide housing options that prevent homelessness and ensure acceptable, safe and affordable housing that meets the needs of the citizens”. To find out what those needs are, we talked with citizens, community partners and other stakeholders. We noted gaps that need to be addressed, looked to see what housing issues had changed, and we tracked the trends that indicate the needs of the future. We are grateful for the support and endorsement from member municipalities in the District, each an integral part of the whole. We are also very appreciative of the valuable input from every part of our community and everyone who participated. We have Year Housing10 and Homelessness Plan: I developed a solid, workable plan for the future. We couldn’t have done it alone and we will be counting on this collaboration to achieve the future goals outlined in this plan. Thank you.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.
