  • 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.

  • Questions and Answers – 2019 Spring Flood
    Ottawa River Commission de planification Regulation de la régularisation Planning Board de la rivière des Outaouais 2019 Spring Flood – Questions and Answers Message from the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board The 2019 spring flood was very challenging, affecting thousands of people’s lives. Many concerned citizens have reached out to the Planning Board seeking answers to their questions about this exceptional flooding event and the Board’s role. We also heard requests for specific actions that will further reduce the impact of floods in the Ottawa River. In Ontario and Québec, municipal, provincial and federal governments all take part in the protection of the residents against flooding, which takes different forms. The Board’s role in this undertaking is often misunderstood. In order to respond to these enquiries, we are providing a series of answers to questions that were often asked during the spring flood of 2019. In the weeks to come, we will continue our review of the 2019 spring flood and will be preparing a summary document similar to the document1 we had prepared following the 2017 flood.

  • Taylor Statten Camps Long Trip Information & Application Policy
    Taylor Statten Camps Long Trip Information & Application Policy The Long Tripping programme at the Taylor Statten Camps is for many the pinnacle of their summer camping experience and for many it becomes a “rite of passage” to participate in each of the trips. For this reason, most long trips are over-subscribed each year. In response to this, the Taylor Statten Camps has developed an application policy to ensure fairness and experience are taken into account when allocating spaces on long trips each year Long Trips 2020 Temagami (formerly “Outpost”) – Extended canoe tripping for campers that already have previous Algonquin Park canoe tripping experience. Trips leave from various access points in Temagami. Highlights may include visits to Paradise Lagoon, McConnell Bay and many new destinations not previously reachable from TSC’s former Outpost. Killarney – A picturesque loop on one of the most historical parks in Ontario. Highlights include Lake Killarney, Silver peak, and Group of Seven historical sites. Please Note: This trip depends solely on campsite availability in Killarney Provincial Park. It is not guaranteed every year – please ensure your child has a second-choice trip in mind when registering. Barron River – Starting at Canoe Lake, campers trip across the west side of Algonquin Park all the way through to the east side culminating in Barron Canyon. Highlights include Lake Eustache, the Petawawa River, and passage through remote corners of Algonquin Park not previously reached on normal park trips. Kipawa – 22 days in the Kipawa region in Quebec, with passage through La Verendrye Provincial Park. Highlights include Lake Kipawa and Turner Falls.

  • Canoe Trips in Canada
    Si Caiadla DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR HON. THOMAS G. MURPHY - - Minister H. H. ROWATT. C.M.G. - Deputy Minister B. HARKIN - Commissioner National Par^s of Canada, Ottawa CANOE TRIPS IN CANADA Department of the Interior National Parks of Canada Ottawa, 1934 TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR CANOEISTS Build your campfires small, close to the water's edge on a spot from which the leaves and moss have been scraped away. Drown it with water when leaving, and stir the ashes with a stick to make sure no live coals are left. Leave your campsite clean. Bury all rubbish, bottles and cans. Never throw glass or tins in the water where others may bathe. Learn how to swim, and first aid methods. Do not sit or lie on bare ground. Never run a rapid without first making sure that it can be done with safety. Examine it carefully for logs, boulders and other obstructions. Two canoes should not run a rapid at the same time. Do not make your packs too heavy; about 40 pounds is a good average. Avoid crossing large lakes or rivers in rough weather. Make camp before dark. Erecting a tent, or preparing a meal by firelight, is not easy. Learn how to prepare simple meals over a campfire. Unless familiar with wilderness travel, never attempt a trip through uninhabited country without competent guides. Charts of the route and good maps of the sur­ rounding country are essentials. Canoe Trips in Canada To those who desire a vacation different from the ordinary, a canoe trip holds endless possibilities, and Canada's network of rivers and lakes provides an unlimited choice of routes.

  • The Petawawa Small Sites Report
    20 ONTARIO ARCHAEOLOGY NO.15 B. M. MITCHELL, D. A. CROFT, P. J. BUTLER, R. J. CAWTHORN (Accepted May 1970) THE PETAWAWA SMALL SITES REPORT ABSTRACT In the Petawawa River Valley, a large drainage system in east Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, 13 small sites of aboriginal occupation have been located. These pertain to Archaic, Middle Woodland, Pickering, Iroquoian and Algonkian groups. Among the Middle Woodland ceramics are sherds which may be attributable to Laurel and Saugeen. INTRODUCTION Discovery of Middle Woodland and other materials at Montgomery Lake (Mitchell, Butler, Ford and Lance: 1966; Mitchell: 1969), led to the investigation of adjacent waterways. A type one survey (Ruppe: 1966) of the Petawawa River, upstream from this lake was conducted during the 1964-1966 high water seasons. The Petawawa River system is a major drainage system in Algonquin Provincial Park, flowing southeast and draining about 1800 square kilometers (Anonymous: 1968). All material recovered from this survey is deposited with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. THE SITES This report describes 13 small sites found on the shores of the series of lakes and intercon- necting rapids extending 80 kilometers between Montgomery and Cedar Lakes, most of which lies within Algonquin Provincial Park (Figure 1). The sites are described consecutively from east to west. Except for C1 and C2 which were exposed on the surface, all other sites were discovered by test pitting. Subsequent excavation was done on a 1.5 meter grid pattern oriented north-south. As the sites under discussion were small, they were completely excavated. Eleven of the sites lie on sandy flats at the water's edge, generally 1.3 to 3.1 meters above water level, and usually within 90 meters of a rapids.

CPAWS-OV is fundamentally opposed to industrial activities taking place in parks and protected areas. We have been calling for an end to commercial logging in Algonquin Park for many years. CPAWS-OV and our partners successfully advocated for the inclusion of a clause in the 2006 Ontario Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act enshrining the maintenance and restoration of ecological integrity as the primary management objective in the province’s parks and other protected areas. The Act defines ecological integrity as “a condition in which biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems and the composition and abundance of native species and biological communities are characteristic for their natural regions and rates of change and ecosystem processes are unimpeded”. In other words, ecosystems have integrity when their lands, waters, native species and natural processes are intact. The Act states that the objective for provincial parks and conservation reserves is to “permanently protect representative ecosystems, biodiversity and provincially significant elements of Ontario’s natural and cultural heritage, and to manage these areas to ensure that ecological integrity is maintained”.
