Request for Proposals Township of Algonquin REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TOWNSHIP OF ALGONQUIN HIGHLANDS MUNICIPAL CULTURAL PLAN The Township of Algonquin Highlands is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a municipal cultural plan for the Township. The municipal cultural plan will be a key tool in the Township's economic development tool kit. 1.0 COMMUNITY PROFILE The Township of Algonquin Highlands is a lower tier municipality located on the western side of the Haliburton Highlands in Central Ontario. Algonquin Highlands includes the geographic townships of Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence, Nightingale and Stanhope. The former townships of Stanhope and Sherborne were each incorporated in 1866. In 1874 the two townships came together and were known as The United Townships of Stanhope and Sherbourne (with a u). They separated in 1897 and Sherborne went on to become Sherborne et al, encompassing the townships of Sherborne, McClintock, Livingstone, Lawrence and Nightingale. Stanhope remained independent until it amalgamated – again, with Sherborne et al in 2001, becoming Algonquin Highlands. The municipality is characterized by several very small urban settlements and a significant amount of both waterfront and rural areas predominantly understood to be “cottage country”. The Township of Algonquin Highlands includes half the village of Dorset, part of Carnarvon and the hamlets of Boskung, Buttermilk Falls, Halls Lake, Little Hawk Lake, Maple Lake, Ox Narrows, and Oxtongue Lake, the latter having the pleasure of being nestled up beside, and sharing the history of, Algonquin Provincial Park. While the township is characterized by having four main communities (Carnarvon, Stanhope, Dorset and Oxtongue), each of the hamlets noted above has a colourful and well-documented history. The village of Dorset is the township’s only real town and has the interesting (and challenging) situation of being split in half by the boundary line between Algonquin Highlands and Lake of Bays townships. Its settlement history goes back to 1859. For the purposes of this project, in order to retain the identity of the village of Dorset, this plan will include the geographic village on both sides of the boundary line. Dorset’s story is steeped in its waterways where the legendary Royal Mail Ship steamboats of the early 1900s plied their trade to places like the Bigwin Inn and some 21 other grand hotels of the era. At its height, the town boasted five hotels, three stores, three churches, two sawmills, and one jail. The area’s culture was based on a tough and self-sufficient style of people: Municipal Cultural Plan, Township of Algonquin Highlands Page 1 of 20 May 10, 2012 farmers, loggers, fishers, carpenters, guides and mid-wives. Today its culture is embodied by the Dorset Lookout Tower, the rebirth of the Bigwin Steamship and a connection to Group of Seven painter Franz Johnston, murals of whose work have been commissioned by the Dorset Museum. At Oxtongue Lake, people initially settled the area to service the huge lumber companies in the Algonquin region and as a result, a small community sprang up around those services. The rugged hinterland was an attraction to the likes of department store founder Timothy Eaton and Group of Seven legend Tom Thomson, and Oxtongue Lake’s long flat surface was a testing ground for Art Asbury’s Miss Canadian and the hydroplane speed records he set in the 1950s. Stanhope remains the “township without a town”; a community of loggers and farmers where the absence of a village forced people to create their own sense of community. Home of the Hawk Lake Log Chute, famed racehorse Guilford Bay and myriad colourful characters, the Stanhope area of Algonquin Highlands is the headwaters of the Trent-Severn Waterway and is a picturesque and storied community of toil, innovation, tenacity and creativity. Carnarvon today is but a crossroads of two highways straddling Algonquin Highlands and its neighbour to the south, Minden Hills. Yet beyond the stoplight and the handful of businesses is a settlement originally called Brown’s Corners where the original “union school”, Fry’s blacksmith shop and Rogers’ Store lie quietly waiting to tell their stories, where creative businesses flourish in these re-purposed buildings and where an entire generation grew up with in the shadow of the old Browndale Camp up on Cowen’s Hill. The permanent population of Algonquin Highlands is just under 2,000 persons, however the Voters’ List from the 2010 municipal election indicates 7,754 eligible voters. Seasonal residents in Algonquin Highlands number about 8,000. The permanent population of Lake of Bays, whose border is shared with Algonquin Highlands in the village of Dorset, is 3,750. Seasonal residents in Lake of Bays number around 10,000 with a significant number using Dorset as their local town. It’s estimated that the number of Dorset residents on the Lake of Bays side of the border is 150 persons. While forestry and farming were initially the main economic drivers in the area, tourism first began in the early 1900s when the railways to Haliburton, Huntsville or Portage offered “Hunter’s Excursions” to “one of the best hunting and fishing districts in Ontario”. Once the logging ended in the 1920s, it didn't take struggling farmers long to realize that the area’s lakes and rivers were a huge attraction to outdoorsmen who needed food, supplies, guides, and places to stay. The majestic grand resorts with music pavillions sprang up throughout Lake of Bays, and the cottage boom occurred during the 1930s when improved roads provided easier access and farmers sold waterfront bush lots for as little as $1 per foot. Orders in Council of 1905 transferred ownership of the waterways to the Federal government, now Parks Canada, and the complicated – and controversial - dam system was created throughout Algonquin Highlands to manage water levels for the benefit of the Trent-Severn Waterway. To this day the cottage community remains steeped in a multi-generational dispute over water levels; a campaign unique to this particular region. While forestry is still a mainstay of industry, the tourism industry is the primary employer of the area and creative economy businesses are increasing in number. The township is a popular Municipal Cultural Plan, Township of Algonquin Highlands Page 2 of 20 May 10, 2012 recreation area that boasts an extensive and firmly entrenched cottaging community; a wide range of outdoors experiences; and a vibrant arts, cultural and creative business community - all of which complements and support each other. The arts, heritage and cultural community of Algonquin Highlands developed slowly, through the collaboration between and among grass roots organizations and the various pre-amalgamation municipalities. The Township’s large geography and lack of a complete town centre within its borders provides a unique opportunity to capture the way in which people have forged a community, a culture and a sense of pride. When the majority of citizens don’t “belong” to a town, how do they know who they are? It’s easy to develop plans around an urban downtown or an old rural Main Street such as the village of Dorset and although this Township has neither, the identities of people in Algonquin Highlands are inextricably linked to the landscape; firmly established, valued and protected. Each of Carnarvon, Stanhope, Dorset and Oxtongue have developed and retained their own sense of identity and culture and over the years, the arts and cultural community has expanded to include community groups with an interest in art, heritage, music and the inspiration of natural surroundings. The Arts Council~Haliburton Highlands, formed in 2003, has given a forum and a voice to arts and culture groups. Community life is enriched by many events and festivals that are planned by various organizations. Some of these events are organized by the municipality’s committees (e.g. Heritage Day; Wine, Words, Music & Art; Water Trails Day). Other events are organized by local interest groups (e.g. Stanhope Triathlon; Farmers’ Markets; Haliburton County Studio Tour). Annual regattas have become an important part of the generational culture of many of the area's lakes. Arts, heritage and culture are now an integral part of the local economy. Many businesses, such as The Art Hive and Lake of Bays Marine Museum focus on the area's art and cultural traditions to attract tourists and increase business. Many local artisans are able to make a living at their craft in home studios, small local galleries, online and with social media, and by association with the Haliburton School of the Arts. Some examples of existing municipal facilities in the Township that support art and culture include: The Stanhope Museum – located in the original council chambers of the Township of Stanhope The Stanhope and Dorset libraries The Stanhope Firefighters’ Community Centre Club 35 The Hawk Lake Log Chute Historic Park (see below) The Haliburton Highlands Water Trails System (see below) The Dorset Heritage Museum The Dorset Recreation Centre Lake of Bays Marine Museum The Dorset Tower – Originally built as a fire lookout tower in 1922, the current tower (1967) is 30m high, has an observation deck 142m above Lake of Bays, and it – along with a surrounding park and kiosk, welcomes 60,000 vehicles per year Municipal Cultural Plan, Township of Algonquin Highlands Page 3 of 20 May 10, 2012 The Bigwin Steamship The Oxtongue Lake Community Centre Some examples of events in the Township that support, promote and/or showcase the arts and cultural community includes: Haliburton County Studio Tour - A two-weekend tour of artist’s studios across the county, including Algonquin Highlands, is held annually in the fall and drawing some 6,000 visitors to the county. Stanhope Heritage Day - An annual festival hosted by Stanhope Museum, in its 9th year, that celebrates traditional arts and trades such as tinsmithing, bookbinding, blacksmithing, soap making, spinning and weaving and so on.

  • Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates Elected in Minden Hills
    Responses to CEWF Questions from Candidates Elected in Minden Hills Responses from Jeanne Anthon Candidate for Ward 1, Minden Hills Questions from the Coalition 1. Do you agree that municipalities have a role to play in working to improve water management in the Haliburton sector of the Trent River watershed? If so what is your personal commitment in this regard? JA: Yes, lower-tier municipalities especially are too often subject to the dictates of larger centers along the Trent River watershed and accordingly must be provided a position at discussion tables to ensure their concerns and needs are considered. I have read and support the CEWF mission and objectives plus the 2008 Panel Report on the Future of the Trent-Severn Waterway. I commit to keep these matters before local council. 2. Do you agree that, rather than seeking the establishment of Conservation Authorities in those areas currently lacking a CA, there is merit in municipalities contracting the existing CAs to provide specific expertise and services such as low water response planning or flood plain mapping for reservoir lakes deemed to have significant flood risk? JA: Yes, I worked with Ontario Conservation Authorities several years ago in developing a watershed management tool and envied areas that utilized Authorities. I would suggest that, if an authority is contracted to manage our Haliburton systems, representation from this area sit on the Board of Directors. There will be a cost to municipalities but this would hopefully be offset by the more efficient operations of our watershed-based ecosystems. Two recent floods cost several million dollars and climate changes threaten to repeat these disasters.

To determine the economic impact of an airport, economists measure three types of impacts: direct, indirect, and induced. The sum of the three measures equals the total economic impact of the airport. • Direct economic impact refers to the employment and revenues attributable to the commercial activities which take place directly at the airport. For the purposes of this study, businesses located adjacent to the airport with airside access, and whose operations are integral to the operation of the airport have also been included. • Indirect economic impact measures the purchase of goods and services by airport businesses from other firms, in terms of the employment and revenues resulting from their operations in support of airport operations.
