I was born in Toronto, Ontario, and now live in London, Ontario. My ancestors came from a several places: from France in the 1600s, from Scotland in the 1940’s, and Jamaica in the 1990’s. They settled in Tkaronto on the lands of the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, the Anishinaabeg, and Mississaugas of the Credit. As I reflect on my family’s history in this country, I also recognize and acknowledge the historic relationship of Indigenous peoples to this land. We would like to welcome you to the Grand Theatre, where we oper- ate on the traditional lands of the Attawandaron (also known as Neutral) people and territories associated with various treaties of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Lunaapewak. The Attawandaron peoples once settled this region alongside the Algonquin and Haudenosaunee peoples, and used this land as their traditional beaver AFTER 135 YEARS CANADIANS KNOW hunting grounds. In London, our treaties include the 1796 London Township Treaty and the 1822 Longwoods Treaty. The London Township Treaty was a PURE FLAVOUR regional treaty signed by diplomats representing all parties living on the land that today we know as southwestern Ontario. The Longwoods TASTES BETTER Treaty was signed by representatives of the Crown and the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and covers approximately 580,000 acres in area. Locally, there are three First Nations communities. They are the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, the Oneida Nation of the Thames, and the Munsee Delaware Nation. We would also like to recognize the growing Indigenous urban population, comprised of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people.

Over the course of a few weeks in the spring, there was an onslaught of submissions appearing in our inbox from students of Brigham Young University. How this came to be, we don't know. Perhaps an influencial graduate student was behind it all? Or maybe an English professor there singled out The Summerset Review for some odd, beautiful reason, and assigned the class a project to send literary work our way? In reviewing the submissions, we were impressed, and we're happy to publish one of them in this issue, a nonfiction piece by an undergraduate, Amy Takabori, titled "A Reluctant Enthusiast," her first publication. We want to thank all those at BYU who tried us, and warm appreciation goes to the person who inspired all of this, whoever you are.

    < ^ The Schreiber Times Vol. XXVIII Paul D. Schreiber High School Wednesday, September 30, 1987 ZANETTI TAKES CHARGE Board Names Guidance Head as Acting Principal by Dave Weintraub When Dr. Frank Banta, Schreiber's principal for eight years, departed at the end (rf the last school year for a different job, he left some large shoes to fill. The school board and Superintendent Dr. William Heebink set out on a search for a new principal over the summer. Many applicants were reviewed, but no one was picked. The board and Dr. Heebink decided to extend the search through the 1987-88 school year. To fill the void Dr. Banta had left, they asked John Zanetti, Chairman of the Guidance Department, to serve as acting principal. He accepted, and was given a ten-month contract, which began in September. Most people who know Mr. Zanetti know him as a soft- spoken and amiable man. He has been in the Port Washington school system for many years, and he had humble beginnings. He started work at Salem School as a physical education teacher in 1958. He stayed there for six years and during that time in- troduced wrestling and lacrosse to the high school. He became the first coach of those teams. After Salem, he taught physical educa- tion at Schreiber for two years. He became a guidance counselor in 1967. He was appointed guidance chairman in 1980. He has now moved to the top of Schreiber's administrative lad- der. Has his transition been smooth? "I have an ulcer," he jokes. "Actually, I think I've ad- justed better than I thought I would.

  • Local Water Collaboration to Enhance Community Source Water Protection at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Ontario
    Local Water Collaboration to Enhance Community Source Water Protection at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Ontario by Natalya Garrod A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Rural Planning and Development Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Natalya Garrod, June, 2020 ABSTRACT LOCAL WATER COLLABORATION TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY SOURCE WATER PROTECTION AT CHIPPEWAS OF THE THAMES FIRST NATION, ONTARIO Natalya Garrod Advisor: University of Guelph, 2020 Professor Sheri Longboat First Nations in Canada are disproportionately affected by chronic drinking water insecurity. Water security, sustainable access to adequate quantities of water of acceptable quality, can be improved through source water protection (SWP). Due to the ubiquitous nature of water, upstream and downstream users must collaborate to ensure successful SWP. The goal of this research is to understand how collaboration between water actors from Chippewas of the Thames First Nations, local conservation authorities and municipalities can support First Nations SWP. A conceptual framework for water governance was created which framed collaboration as both a process and a structure. Key findings include perspectives of water actors towards collaboration, activities that enable collaboration, and challenges that constrain water collaboration. This research defines what collaboration means to water actors, what kinds of collaborations occur, what barriers exist, and helps to inform the development of future water collaboration among multiple actors. iii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents, Lynne and Phil Garrod for supporting all my accomplishments, big and small. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people: Dr.
