Our Society Lacks Consistently Defined Attitudes
‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management. -

3.1 Waterdown/Aldershot Master EA Transportation Network Study
City of Hamilton Development of the Waterdown/Aldershot Transportation Master Plan Draft Report – August 2005 Page 14 3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEM OR OPPORTUNITY (PHASE 1) 3.1 Waterdown/Aldershot Master EA Transportation Network Study The Phase 1 Final Report of the Waterdown/Aldershot Master EA Transportation Network Study was completed on July 30th, 2004 by SNC-Lavalin. The purpose of Phase 1 was to “review all the land use and transportation network changes, either proposed or constructed, which may effect the study area conclusions and recommendations of the previous Transportation Master Plan Study undertaken by Stantec Consulting Ltd. in September 1999”. The report confirmed the need for additional east-west and north-south capacity in the Waterdown/Aldershot area due to OPA 28, stating that additional capacity was needed in each direction. The report also recommended that the next phase consider all options to provide additional capacity in the Waterdown and Aldershot areas. 3.2 Existing Population/Employment Waterdown currently has a population of 15,000 (2001 census). The community was established in the late 1700’s as a stopping point on Highway 5. The population has remained fairly stagnant until the early 1990s, when the community received considerable growth, almost doubling in size. Thus, the community is characterized by a combination of old and new development. The town centre is comprised of older homes and retail buildings, which is contrasted by newer residential and retail development along the outer fringe of the developed urban area. The Flamborough Business Park is located at the intersection of Highway No. 5 and Highway No. -

Resilient Buffalo Niagara
Climate Change Action Strategy Document Resilient Buffalo Niagara Strategies to Respond to Climate Change Resilient Buffalo Niagara was prepared by Dr. Himanshu Grover, University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning DECEMBER 2014 About this Strategy Document Resilient Buffalo Niagara Strategies to Respond to Climate Change This strategy document provides a broad policy framework for responding to the existing and anticipated impacts of climatic change already underway across the Buffalo-Niagara region. Effective climate change response primarily requires increased environmental sensitivity in day-to-day planning and development decision-making. The majority of climate change response strategies are rooted in ongoing local municipal planning initiatives such as land use planning, transportation planning, building codes, and hazard mitigation. As such this report highlights important considerations that local decision makers need to be sensitive to when implementing such local developmental planning actions. A critical aspect of climate change response is limiting existing greenhouse gas emissions without compromising local economic growth and development. In light of this, the report recommends broad policy considerations to guide local decision making to limit greenhouse gas emissions without hindering economic prosperity. With respect to direct local impacts from climate change, present models indicate marginal changes in normal temperature and precipitation patterns by mid-century. However, it is very likely that the resultant -

Mining for gypsum, or Plaster of Paris, began in Ontario in 1822 by Squire William Holme, first settler in the Paris area. Deposits of gypsum were found along the banks of the river both upstream and downstream of the town. For the first two years of mining, the gypsum was broken up by sledge hammers. In 1824, a race- way was dug to allow easy access to a grinding mill. The gypsum was sold to settlers as fertilizer and course plaster for housing.
