During the mid-to-late 1800s and early 1900s, a multitude of spas, springs, and resorts throughout North America catered to an eclectic clientele, ranging from individuals looking for relief from varied ailments to families seeking sanctuary from the summertime heat and humidity of their hometowns. Using period photographs and promotional materials, this presentation provides an overview of the historical development of spas,

springs, and resorts within the province of Ontario (i.e., within Ontario's boundaries as defined by the Canada (Ontario Boundary Act), 1889) during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The presentation is an outgrowth of an ongoing research project that examines: (1) the individuals and businesses who developed and promoted Ontario's spas, springs, and resorts; (2) the demographic characteristics of the sites' visitors; and (3) the social and economic relationships that emerged among the sites' promoters, visitors, and permanent inhabitants.

Paper presented at the Biennial Conference of the Middle Atlantic and New England Council for Canadian Studies (MANECCS), Arlington, Virginia, October 2008.
This paper analyses the activities of U.S. consular offices in two Ontario towns, namely, Peterborough and Rat Portage (later renamed Kenora), during the first decade of the twentieth century. The paper is divided into two sections. The first section presents brief historical sketches of Peterborough and Rat Portage, together with a discussion of the United States' rationale for establishing consular offices in the respective communities. Drawing upon U.S. Department of State records, along with a variety of other archival sources, the second section of the paper analyzes the consular offices' activities between the years 1900 and 1910. The analysis specifically addresses the following questions: (1) What precise activities did the consular agents perform in their official capacity? (2) How much freedom were the agents given by their superiors in Washington, DC, to make decisions on their own? (3) What types of formal and informal interactions did the agents have with their superiors in Washington, DC ? (4) What types of formal and informal interactions did the agents have with their Canadian hosts (e.g., local residents, government officials)? and finally, (5) What impact, if any, did national and international events have upon the day-to- day activities of the consul offices? This in-depth examination of the Peterborough and Rat Portage consular offices will provide new insights into the significant yet often overlooked historical contributions these offices have made to the overall United States-Canadian relationship.
