  • The Advance Wednesday, October 3, 2018
    The Advance Wednesday, October 3, 2018 Standing-room only at Flesherton all-candidates meeting Thursday (by Don Crosby) There’s a great interest among voters for information about candidates in the upcoming Grey Highlands municipal election, as evidenced by a standing-room only crowd at the latest all-candidates meeting in Flesherton. The high interest also shows in numerous all-candidate meetings for Lake Eugenia and Brewster’s Lake; Flesherton, Markdale and Kimberley, and a meet-and-greet planned for Saturday at the Flesherton Farmer’s Market. Much of the discussion last Wednesday was about tourism and economic development. The meeting was sponsored by the Grey Highlands Chamber of Commerce, which posed the first four questions to be answered by all candidates on those topics. There was almost unanimous agreement on what kind of tourism would be good for Grey Highlands. Everyone agreed that accommodations were badly needed. (Mayoral candidates will be marked as M and Deputy-Mayor as DM, all the remaining are candidates for council) Paul Allen said those that promote health and wellness, such as hiking and cycling, as well a business and conference centre would be welcome. Having operated a business in Eugenia for several years Stewart Halliday (DM) would like to see more entrepreneurs. Aakash Desai (DM) favours adventure-based businesses. Terry Mokriy (M) wants more tourism-related businesses and for council to work more closely with the tourism industry. Paul McQueen (M) also thinks more accommodation is needed for both residents and visitors. Danielle Valiquette would like to see more agri-tourism and heritage tourism.

  • Priorities in Collecting the Ontario Archival Recor4
    "Quaint Specimens of the Early Days": Priorities in Collecting the Ontario Archival Recor4 by DONALD MACLEOD Images of a region's past reflect largely the history written about that past, and the archival resources available in turn exercise a pronounced influence over what history is written. In Ontario, fascination with things military, with pre-Confederation colonial politics, and with pioneer life and settlement occupied special places in archival collecting between 1872 and 1935. The documentation of local settlement, for one, played so prominent a part that it might readily be argued that more attention was paid to local identities than to the provincial identity as a whole, especially by the provincial archives. Archival collect- ing in Ontario, centred in the work of the Public Archives of Canada (dating from 1872) and the Ontario provincial archives (founded in 1903) did differ markedly from that in at least one other region. Archival work in the Maritimes concentrated almost wholly on the pre-Confederation period; in Ontario, archival institutions more frequently followed developments into the twentieth century. Moreover, in Ontario, intermittent attempts were made to document social life and, especially, the march of material progress won through corporate growth, agrarian enterprise, and various aspects of institutional modernization. Yet few relevant unpublished materials were acquired, eccentricities beset the later work of the Public Archives of Canada, and the broader spectrums of political, social, and economic change remained neglected. Other preoccupations dominated.
