  • Minutes of the Hoito Restaurant March 27, 1918 to May 2, 1920
    Minutes of the Hoito Restaurant March 27, 1918 to May 2, 1920 Translated and Introduced by Saku Pinta This work is dedicated to the staff of the Hoito Restaurant, past, present, and future. 2 The Origins of the Hoito Restaurant: A History from Below By Saku Pinta Then Slim headed to Bay Street, where he read a sign upon a door Inviting the world workers up onto the second floor Come right in Fellow Worker, hang your crown upon the wall And eat at the Wobbly restaurant, you'll pay no profits there at all - “The Second Coming of Christ” by Pork-Chop Slim1 In continuous operation in the same location for over 100 years, the Hoito Restaurant has served Finnish and Canadian food in the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario while also serving as an important local landmark and gathering place. The restaurant the New York Times called “arguably Canada's most famous pancake house” has, since it opened on May 1, 1918, occupied the bottom-floor of the 109-year old Finnish Labour Temple on 314 Bay Street – a building formally recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada in 2011.2 In recognition of the centenary of the founding of the Hoito Restaurant the Thunder Bay Finnish Canadian Historical Society is proud to publish, for the first time in English-language translation, the entirety of the restaurant's first minute book. This unique and historically significant primary source document begins on March 27, 1918, with the first meeting to discuss the establishment of the restaurant, and concludes over two years later on May 2, 1920.

    MAMOWENCHIGE ‘WORKING TOGETHER’ October 22-25, 2019 Boozhoo Welcome to the Mamowenchige “Working Together” Conference. This conference has been developed through the G’minoomaadozimin initiative. G’minoomaadozimin means We are Living Well. It is a Health and Safety program that envisions communities where all people are safe whether they are at home, in the workplace or in the community. Over the next four days we will be discussing ideas that improve the health, safety and wellness within our communities. For the first two days, conference presenters will speak on how communities can address lateral violence and harassment as well as the importance of cultural safety at work and for the overall safety for our community members. The final two days will be training for Spirit Builders. Our Spirit Builder Training has become a positive force of traditional values and teachings, knowledge exchange and has brought an awareness forward that can only be described as a healthy and honest conversation. We pride ourselves on the content of the Our Journey Away from Lateral Violence Training Program and look forward to sharing this inspiring knowledge with as many people as possible. Through the Mamowenchige “Working Together” Conference, Nokiiwin hopes to bring forward ideas and best practices from across Canada from an Indigenous perspective that will help everyone to live well in their own way. Thank you for taking the next four days to learn and to share this journey with us. 01 Floor Map Event Rooms Second Floor Balcony Pointe Du Meuron First Floor Room Amethyst Room Catering Admin Washrooms Office Office Elevator Banquet Office Storage Room Elevator Kaministiquia Room Wash Wash Mc Gillivrary room room Kitchen Room Sundeck Rock Garden Café & Bar McKenzie A McKenzie B Fire Balcony 02 Day 1 October 22, 2019 Kamanistiquia Room Amethyst Room Pointe Du Meuron 7:30 a.m.

  • Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District, Ontario
    Thunder Bay Field Naturalists Checklist of Fish es of Thunder Bay District , Ontario 31 December 2019 Introduction This first edition of Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District adds to existing checklists prepared by members of the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (TBFN) covering other vertebrate taxa (mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians), as well vascular plants, butterflies, and odonates. As with these other checklists, it covers the official judicial District of Thunder Bay (Figure 1). The District extends from the eastern border of Quetico Provincial Park east to White River, and from the international border north to Lake St. Joseph and the Albany River. Much of the District (60%) is within the Great Lakes watershed, with the remaining draining into the Arctic Ocean either north via the Hudson Bay Lowlands, or west via Rainy Lake/Lake of the Woods and the Nelson River watershed. Figure 1. Judicial District of Thunder Bay with primary watersheds and protected areas. 2 The fish species of the Thunder Bay District mostly reflect post-glacial colonization, modified by more recent ecological and anthropogenic influences. The Wisconsinan ice mass began to retreat north of Lake Superior circa 10,700 BP (Farrand and Drexler 1985), allowing fish to initially colonize the Thunder Bay area (Momot and Stephenson 1996). The Marquette advance circa 9900 BP likely wiped out these early colonizers, but its retreat around 9700 BP allowed many species access from glacial refugia in the Mississippi River basin to the south (Mandrak and Crossman 1992b; Stephenson and Momot 1994). Some species invaded from the east via the outlet of Lake Minong and Lake Superiors’ other post-glacial predecessors.
