2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers. -
Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of Us Have Been Talking About Experimenting with a Regular Gathering of Ottawa Area Ministry Personnel
1 Ministry Personnel Pub Nights by Mike Perreault Some of us have been talking about experimenting with a regular gathering of Ottawa area ministry personnel. The second Tuesday of each month (Ottawa's former Presbytery night) seemed like a natural fit. We thought a more-or-less central location close to the 417 with ample parking would work to start. We came up with Liam Maguire's on St. Laurent near Innes. I contacted them and made a reservation for 12 (seemed like a good number!) for Tuesday, August 13th at 7:30 PM. I can commit to being there for the first meet-up and hope to see some of you there. Visit the gallery of EOORC churches now on the website.

A Short History of the United Church of Canada's Young Peoples Union
A Short History of the United Church of Canada’s Young Peoples Union (YPU) Introduction The purpose of this short history is to ensure that the story of the Young Peoples Union movement in the United Church of Canada is remembered and preserved in the files of the Archives of the United Church of Canada. Although this short history is based on the files, stories and achievements of one church; namely, Parkdale United Church of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the same can be said of many United Churches across Canada during the period after Church Union in 1925. The period from approximately 1930 to 1964 saw the development of the United Church Young Peoples Unions (YPU); some were called “Societies”, (YPS) until 1935. They began to form in churches after the June 10, 1925 union of some of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches to form the United Church of Canada. It was organized at the National, Conference and Presbytery levels. The YPU had considerable autonomy given to it from the Board of Christian Education. The YPU was born in the Depression years of Canada, 1929-1938, went through the Second World War period, 1939-1945, grew during the post-war period, endured the Korean War of 1950-1953, thrived in the late 50’s as the population of Canada grew, and started to dwindle in the mid-1960s. To examine the Young Peoples Union movement is to look at a very interesting stage of church development and to see 1 how one part of the United Church helped its young people to learn, grow and develop leadership skills and Christian values that have continued to this day. -

Scripture's Role in Discerning Theology in the United Church of Canada
Scripture’s Role in Discerning Theology in The United Church of Canada by John William David McMaster A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Knox College and the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Knox College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by John William David McMaster 2016 Scripture’s Role in Discerning Theology in The United Church of Canada John William David McMaster Doctor of Ministry Knox College and the University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Traditionally, the Bible has been at the centre of the Church’s life and thought. It has been viewed as the Word of God, a unique work, revealing God and God’s ways to humankind. Authority and the authority of scripture have been questioned, however, in recent years particularly within mainline Protestant denominations. The following study seeks to clarify the role of scripture in discerning theology within congregational life of the United Church of Canada. It begins by examining the view of scripture held by the Protestant Reformers of the 16th and 18th centuries. It moves to discuss how those views have been affected by the rise of modernist and postmodernist thought, and then looks at the changing role of scripture within the history of the United Church. These contextual studies form the base for a case study of the practices and thought of three United Church Councils in the city of Toronto. There, it was found that more experiential factors were the chief influences on United Church lay leaders today as they make theological ii decisions. -
The Seeds of Hope Granting Program
Thanks to the generous members of the United Church and the General Council Office, we are pleased to announce the following grants made through: The Seeds of Hope Granting Program: 57 grants were awarded through 2020 Spring round of the Seeds of Hope Granting program at the United Church of Canada Foundation totaling $395,044. Children, Youth, and Young Adult Programs From the Camping Trust Fund $1,500 to Burry Heights Camp and Retreat Centre (St. John's, NL) in support of the Outdoor Chapel Upgrading and Trail Revitalization project. This spring they aim to make their chapel more accessible by completing groundwork and removing trees. They also aim to revitalize the trail system that leads to the chapel by removing trees and filling holes to make it safer. Their goal is for the chapel to be able to be accessed safely for everybody through our intricate trail system $2,000 to Hardisty Lake United Church Camp (Forestburg, AB) in support of their Floor covering for outdoor play space project. At Hardisty Lake United Church Camp they have just received funding to build a 32 by 16 foot outdoor play space. This will enhance the camp by providing sun and rain protection for outdoor activities. They are going to install a rubber floor in this play space which will make it safer and more user friendly than the hard concrete floor. $2,000 to MacKenzie Camp Society (Armstrong, BC) in support of the MacKenzie Camp Lighting project. The MacKenzie Camp Lighting Project involved the upgrading of lighting both in the Craft Hall, a multi purpose building used for many program activities, especially during rainy days when outdoor programming is unavailable, and our kitchen/Dining Hall building.
