Belmont Lake Lake Plan BELMONT LAKE LAKE PLAN JULY 2007 PREFACE Belmont Lake is a special place for everyone residing on it, and for many reasons. It is special for its size and shape, clean water, natural beauty, wildlife, wetlands, and its ability to provide the opportunity for people to enjoy their cottage experience – whether it be relaxation and serenity, water sports, fishing or swimming. • The Purpose of the Lake Plan – To identify the significant social, natural and physical features that make the lake and its surrounding area a desirable place for people to live and visit. – The plan will recommend a series of actions that will ensure the long-term sustainability and healthy existence of the lake for future generations. – These actions encompass the lake’s health, beauty, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, as well as opportunities for residential and commercial development. – A living document that will continue to evolve over time as individual circumstances and issues occur and new information becomes available. – Review date every 5 years to establish new direction to meet current issues. • Thank you to the following Belmont Lake cottagers for your volunteered input along the way, every effort made is important and extremely valued: – Art Church, Jane Prendergast, Jonathan Church, Sylvie Samson, Mike Hammond, Helen Falconer, Bob Watson, Jean Gower and Julia Matys – French Planning Inc.; Randy French, Jasmine Chabot • The Lake Plan Committee expresses it’s gratitude to the following agencies that helped by providing material, advice, assistance, and encouragement: – Township of Havelock BelmontDRAFT Methuen – Crowe Valley Conservation Authority – Ministry of Natural Resources – Ministry of the Environment – MNDM – Department of Oceans and Fisheries – Ontario Trillium Foundation or other funding bodies i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface

  • AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT from SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B
    JOHNSTON: ENGRAVED SLATE POINT 23 AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B. Johnston ABSTRACT A consideration and interpretation of a slate point bearing apparently notational engraving suggests that it may have been associated with Late Archaic ceremonialism. INTRODUCTION Some years ago a ground slate point was found north of Blairton, Ontario (Belmont Township, Peterborough County) in the shallow waters of the Crowe River a short distance north of Crowe Lake. It was a fortuitous and isolated discovery by a cottage owner, Mrs. H. J. (Joyce) Armstrong, presently of Peterborough, to whom I am indebted for her having brought the artifact to our attention and for subsequently depositing it in the collection of the Trent University Archaeological Centre (number 7PT23-1 from Borden location BcGk-4). What distinguishes this specimen from other slate points of the region and makes it of special interest is the extensive engraving cut into both faces of the point. THE POINT AND ENGRAVING The point is 124 mm in length, including a small allowance for damage at the tip, and has a maximum width of 32 mm near the base of the blade. The maximum thickness is 8 mm in the center of the midsection of the blade which has a lozenge-shaped cross-section with four flat external faces. The point weights 38.8 g and is made of a dark uniform slate; in terms of Munsell soil colours it would be described as very dark gray, approximating 2.5 YR 3/0. The form of the point is within the range exhibited by slate points of southern Ontario, although it is longer and narrower than average, while the base could be said to be atypical in that it is not the relatively long tapering or contracting stemmed form commonly seen on slate points.

  • Algonquins of Ontario
    Algonquins of Ontario Friday, October 11, 2019 Changes to the 2019 – 2020 Algonquin Park Harvest Area Pembroke, ON – For many years, the annual Algonquins of Ontario harvest of moose, deer and elk has been managed pursuant to management plans developed by the Algonquin Negotiation Representatives (ANRs). These management plans establish the process of issuing tags to eligible Algonquin harvesters, the species that can be harvested, the season during which harvesting shall occur and the Harvest Area within which harvesting may take place. They also provide for reporting and monitoring of harvesting activities. These management plans have resulted in responsible and well-managed Algonquin harvesting for many years. In the past, Algonquin harvesting of moose and deer as well as the harvesting of other species of game normally taken for food in Algonquin Park has been restricted to the area within Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) 51 and to the east of Shirley Lake Road. For the 2019-2020 harvest season, the Algonquins of Ontario have decided that this area is now expanded to include that portion of Algonquin Park that lies within WMU 51, both east and west of Shirley Lake Road, north of the Hwy 60 Corridor Development Zone and within the Algonquin of Ontario Settlement Area. This decision has been taken after a great deal of consideration and is the result of anticipated increased harvesting by members of the Métis Nation of Ontario pursuant to arrangements made with the government of Ontario that have been challenged in court by the Algonquins of Ontario. In recent years moose populations in certain Wildlife Management Units have declined significantly, coinciding with increased harvesting by self-identified Métis harvesters.

(i) Executive Summary The 1991 Ontario Prospectors Assistance Program (OPAP) Funding was directed to a somewhat ignored copper mineralized area associated with volcanogenic iron formations in Lake Township, Grenville Province of Southeastern Ontario within the Eastern Ontario Mining Divison. Three unpatented claims, referred to as the Crowe River property, were staked at latitude 44 degrees 41 minutes North and longitude 77 degrees 45 minutes West, Concession III, Lots 17 and 18, to examine the prospects of economic mineralization in association with past sporadic gold and copper minor production occurrences. A technical report was requested by Mr. Uldis Abolins; it was the author©s decision to expand such a report into a more lucrative summation of the OPAP grant project. Generally, the Crowe River property lies southeast of Bancroft and northeast of Peterborough, a northerly one hour drive approximately 20 air miles north of Havelock within the Grenville Province of the Eastern Ontario Mining District, Ontario.

  • Chapter 1 WHAT IS LAKE PLANNING
    1 ii Preamble People residing along the shorelines of the lakes and rivers in Ontario are drawn by the quality of the water, the exposure to nature, the offer of peace and tranquility, and the attraction of sustainable recreational opportunities. What makes each shoreline unique is the particular blend of natural and human communities that thrive there. A growing number of shoreline groups are conducting studies regarding the character and qualities of their respective communities ranging from the casual to the complex. By following their lead, we can establish what it is about our lakes, shorelines, surrounding environment, and communities that should be retained and sustained for future generations. The study of our lake surroundings and shoreline communities requires “One of your most knowledge, patience, enthusiasm and persistence. We have the early powerful tools is to pioneers in lake planning to thank for paving the way for those who will write a report on follow. However, what has yet to be done is to draw upon that collective your own lake and body of experience in order to lay out the process of lake planning in a area. After all, who knows your lake and simple and easily understood manner. Whether a group is either large or area better then small, of greater or lesser means, or narrow or broadly focused, they all must you?” be able to find, within the pages of this handbook, the information they need to design and support their individual planning and stewardship efforts. …Jerry Strickland FOCA (1990) What does this handbook provide?
