Many partners over the years have contributed to the development of various recreational facilities. A longstanding commitment to providing quality and accessible opportunities to play in our parks, sports fields and trails has contributed to the success of Lucan in becoming a desirable place for families to live. Residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy trails while exercising their minds and bodies. Our trails will serve as a social meeting place while surrounded by the beautiful landscape Lucan has to offer. The goal of this Master Plan is to provide a guide for the future of our trail system whereby multi-user trails for non-motorized use are systematically established in order to connect people and places and encourage residents and visitors to enjoy our beautiful town and the natural beauty of our on- and off-road trails. The Lucan Trails Master Plan (LTMP) is a plan for constructing new trails and is integral in the future short and long term planning of trails. A disadvantage of not preparing a Master Plan for trails is that there will not be a vision for the future of our town trails and the creation of vital links may be ignored or under prioritized. The LTMP is designed to be a living and fluid document, subject to review and change. It simply serves as guide for trail development in an evolving community. This report is organized into the following sections: Section 2: History reports on Lucan’s population and demographics supporting this plan. Section 3: Benefits of the Lucan Trails Master Plan outlines the benefits of the creation of this document as well as the proposed impact of the recommendations on the municipality. Section 4: Goals and Objectives details expectations of implementing of the master plan. Section 5: Building a case – the NEED for trails discusses the importance of and impact that trails have on our community. Section 6: Existing Trails lists and describes the current trails within Lucan. Section 7: Building Trails outlines the trail types, signage, trailheads and accessibility. Section 8: New Trail Development and Infrastructure details the recommended three phase plan to create trails in and around Lucan. This plan includes creation of a Model Trail, creation of additional trails, and prioritization of ongoing trail development. Section 9: Supporting/Maintaining Trails discusses promotion and maintenance issues related to trails. Section 10: Risk Management discusses the need to consider risk management in the development and maintenance of trail projects to provide a safer, more responsible and enjoyable trail experience. Section 11: Summary 1 SECTION 2: History Lucan is located in the heart of Southwestern Ontario, within Middlesex County and 20 minutes north of the city of London. Lucan’s motto is “Get that small town feeling”. Among the first residents of Biddulph Township were free blacks from Cincinnati, Ohio who, after being forced to leave Ohio as a result of the enforcement of the state's "Black Laws", formed the Wilberforce Colony in 1821. As Wilberforce went into a steady decline by the late 1830's, many of the colony members sold their land to Irish settlers. The town was originally called "Marystown" in honour of Canada Company's John McDonald's wife, but was later changed to Lucan. On January 1, 1999 the Village of Lucan and the Township of Biddulph united to become the Township of Lucan Biddulph. With an area of approximately 16,876 hectares and a population of 4,187 people (Statistics Canada 2006), Lucan Biddulph Township has maintained its small town feeling with lots of room and land to allow comfortable living. Lucan, from its conception, has been a hub of agricultural activity and is also home to many residents who commute to London on a daily basis. The median age of the population of Lucan Biddulph is 37 years, with the highest 5-year age grouping segment being those between 40 and 44 years of age, as of the 2006 census. Lucan is a healthy and vibrant community with many residents expecting quality and diverse recreational opportunities as they are retiring earlier, and are healthier and wealthier as they do so. New residents to Lucan are drawn to our community because of the high quality amenities the community has to offer. Residents expect quality recreation opportunities at their doorstep, such as the Lucan Memorial Community Centre. There is, however, a definite lack of established trail system within the municipaility. An interconnected trail system is the missing link in providing outdoor opportunities for active citizens. To date a master plan for trails has not yet been prepared for the Township of Lucan Biddulph, whose Council has asked the newly-formed Lucan Area Trails Association to undertake this task. SECTION 3: Benefits of the Lucan Master Plan for Trails Benefits of the LTMP: 1. The LTMP provides recommendations to town Council. 2. This document provides direction for community projects

  • Views in Historical Newspapers
    Readex Report Former Slaves and Free Blacks in Canada West: Using Early American Newspapers to Trace the Circulation of a Slave Narrative By Eleanor Bird PhD Student, University of Sheffield, UK Between 1830 and the eve of the American Civil War, approximately 40,000 former slaves and free blacks fled the United States for Canada, especially to Canada West (that is, modern-day Ontario).[i] Slavery in Canada West had been in decline since the late eighteenth century, and slavery in the British colonies was officially abolished by an act of British Parliament which took effect in 1834. The number of fugitives travelling into Canada peaked after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850 since this law made it far easier for runaways in the Northern United States to be returned to their former masters. It is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 African Americans entered Canada from 1850 to 1860.[ii] Until recently critics have ignored the Canadian-dimension of slave narratives, despite the fact that there are more than ten nineteenth-century book-length slave narratives with portions set in Canada West.[iii] Some of these narratives were printed and circulated in the United States, and others in Britain and Canada West. These texts include, for example, Benjamin Drew’s The Refugee or The Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada (1856), Samuel Ringgold Ward's Autobiography of a Fugitive Negro: His Anti-Slavery Labours in the United States, Canada and England (1855), Josiah Henson’s The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as narrated by himself (1849) and Richard Warren’s Narrative of the Life and Sufferings of Rev Richard Warren (A Fugitive Slave) (1856).

  • Austin Steward
    Austin Steward Austin Steward was born in 1793 to slave parents Robert and Susan Steward in Prince William County, Virginia. He had one sister. The Stewards were purchased about 1800 by Captain William Helm. Austin was put to work in the plantation house as an errand boy. Austin Steward recalled Capt. Helm during this period as a kind, pleasant, and humorous man and not a harsh master. Nevertheless, the Stewards were enslaved. When Austin was about eight or nine years of age, Helm sold his Virginia plantation and moved his family, his household goods, and his thirty slaves to New York State, first to Sodus then, three years later, to Bath. Land agent Charles Williamson, also from Virginia, had invested heavily in the Genesee Country and encouraged Helm to settle in Bath. There Helm bought several farms and a gristmill that his slaves operated. Helm also hired out Austin and another slave to work for Henry Tower who ran a large grist mill and distillery in Lyons. Austin worked for Tower until about 1812 when he was hired out to another master. It was at about this time, when he was about twenty years old, that he began to plan his freedom. He purchased a spelling book and taught himself to read. He questioned his slave status because, in New York State, there were two laws in effect that would help him. One law dating from 1785 banned the sale of slaves brought into New York and the other, passed in 1799, provided for the gradual emancipation of slaves in New York.

  • Upper Thames River Assessment Report
    UPPER THAMES RIVER ASSESSMENT REPORT Section Summary - 8.0 Great Lakes Section Summaries The Assessment Reports for the Thames-Sydenham and Region are large summary documents compiling information from many technical reports. These technical reports include Water Budgets, Watershed Characterization Reports and many Source Protection Technical Studies related to municipal drinking water systems. That information has been summarized and compiled into Assessment Reports of the Region. Each section of the Assessment Reports has been summarized in a series of Section Summaries. 8.0 Great Lakes The Clean Water Act (2006) requires that an Assessment Report and Source Protection Plans consider Great Lakes Agreements, if a Source Protection Area (SPA) contains water that flows into a Great Lake (Section 14). The Upper Thames River SPA is landlocked and has no Great Lakes shoreline. It is surrounded by the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley and Lake Erie source protection regions, as well as the Lower Thames Valley SPA. The Thames River originates in the Upper Thames River SPA and continues through the Lower Thames Valley SPA where it outlets into Lake St. Clair, which in turn outlets into Lake Erie through the DUFFERIN YORK WELLINGTON PEEL WELLINGTON Detroit River.

  • The Degenerate Scion of a Noble Line?
    STEAMBOAT JACK: THE DEGENERATE SCION OF A NOBLE LINE? CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE AMERICAN SAILOR AND THE MEANING OF MARITIME IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY GREAT LAKES MARITIME WORLD by Dana S. Brown A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida May 2013 © Copyright Dana S. Brown 2013 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The late Christian mystic and philosopher Thomas Merton offered an interesting perspective on cultivating a positive attitude when attempting to accomplish what, at the time, might seem an insurmountable task: Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. You gradually struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationship that saves everything.1 Although I view this thesis as a personal success I cannot take full credit for it truly could not have happened without the assistance received through personal and professional relationships. While I am wholeheartedly indebted to my thesis committee, Dr. Sandra L. Norman, Dr. Stephen D. Engle, Dr. Kristen Block and Dr. Theodore J. Karamanski Loyola University Chicago, Illinois for their support and guidance throughout the entire research and writing process, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to share ideas, laughs and oftentimes tears, with some very special people.
