  • History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017
    History of the Simcoe County Region Indigenization Column: May 17, 2017 If anyone has been to the Simcoe County Museum on Highway 26, they will have seen the beautiful Huron-Wendat artifacts and replica longhouse they have on permanent display. With all the discussion around Anishnaabeg (Ojibwe people) and the Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe language) program, many may be confused as to why there are different nations in the same region. Hopefully, I can shed some light on this question. This region was once inhabited by the Huron-Wendat nations, until about 350 years ago. The Huron- Wendat are a confederacy of five Haudenosaunee-speaking (Iroquois) nations. They are the; Attinniaoenten ("people of the bear"), Hatingeennonniahak ("makers of cords for nets"), Arendaenronnon ("people of the lying rock"), Atahontaenrat ("two white ears" i.e., “deer people”) and Ataronchronon ("people of the bog"). These nations had once been as far south as the Virginias and Ohio Valley, but had settled in this region pre-contact. These nations came into contact with the French settlers in the early 1600s, and it was this contact that caused a great deal of epidemics such as measles, influenza, and smallpox amongst the nations. The term ‘Huron’ comes from a demeaning nickname for the nation, which means ‘boar’s head’ in French and was used in reference to ruffians. The Wendat were enemies of the five Haudenosaunee nations (later joined by the Tuscarora in 1722 and became the Six Nations we know today). By the mid-1600s the Wendat population had been reduced by half, from approximately 20,000 to 9,000 by the epidemics brought by the French settlers living in close quarters with the nations.

    Via email April 12, 2021 Growing the size of the Greenbelt Ministry of Municipal Affairs Provincial Planning Policy Branch 777 Bay Street, 13th Floor Toronto, ON M5G 2E5 Dear Ministry staff, The Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition and Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition are pleased the government is taking this important step to expand the Greenbelt. We would like to offer our organizations comments in the province's consultation on growing the size of the Greenbelt at https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-3136. The Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition (SCGC) is a coalition made up of ratepayers, naturalists, farmers, land conservancies, environmentalists and indigenous peoples. Our coalition is comprised of 42 groups from across Simcoe County and the province who are calling for Simcoe County to be included in an expanded Greenbelt. The Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition is an environmental charity focused on the health of the Lake Simcoe watershed. We now have 26 member groups around the watershed. Our coalition began after a failed attempt at including Simcoe County in the Greenbelt in 2005. As Ontario Greenbelt Alliance members, we support the submissions of the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance and the Ontario Headwaters Institute at https://waterscape.ca/wp-content/uploads/PDF-Version-of-Submission-of-March-31-with-App-A.pdf. Please review the maps included at the end of this submission which support our appeal for Greenbelt expansion in Simcoe County. Greenbelt expansion would be helpful for the degraded waters of Lake Simcoe and Simcoe County. 1 The Greenbelt covers 58% of the Lake Simcoe watershed. Source: Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, 2009.
