AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

The surrounding areas to the north east and west are municipally serviced for water and sewer. Based on information compiled, the Property was first developed for agricultural use prior to 1927. The Phase One ESA has been prepared to provide Delpark Homes (Port Perry) Inc. with a professional opinion of the potential for materially significant environmental liabilities as part of the due diligence process. It is understood that the Property is being considered for future residential development. The Property is located in the Town of Port Perry on Part Lot 17 and 18, Concession 5, in the geographic Township of Reach. The surrounding area can be generally described as a mix of residential and agricultural land use.

Our surface and groundwater resources supply our drinking water, maintain property values, sustain an agricultural industry and support tourism. Kawartha Conservation is the local environmental agency through which we can protect our water and other natural resources. Our mandate is to ensure the conservation, restoration and responsible management of water, land and natural habitats through programs and services that balance human, environmental and economic needs.

We are governed by the six municipalities that overlap the natural boundaries of our watershed and voted to form the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority.
