A media kit, produced by Grand Council Treaty Number 9. Titled "Reed's Greed," the materials here relate to opposition to Reed Paper (Canada) Ltd., the company responsible for mercury pollution in the English & Wabigoon River system, affecting the people of Grassy Narrows First Nation/Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek.

Most material dates from 1976. At this time, Reed was planning an expansion of its forest products operations and requesting increased timber rights from the Ontario government. This is also a time after the mercury pollution had been identified by researchers and made known to governments, but long before any settlements were reached.

Documents include media releases, clippings, information sheets, and posters for protest events in Winnipeg.

Most materials are in English; some in an Indigenous language written in syllabics.

Records of Keewatinase, the Department of Indigenous Education, Faculty of Education, Lakehead University. A significant amount of the material relates to Native Language Instructors' Program, NLIP, after 2001 known as Anishinaabemowik.

The records include reports and administrative records, program newsletters, yearbooks, student and instructor handbooks, and ephemera.

Languages represented in the program include Ojibwe/Anishinaabemowin, Oji-Cree/Anishininimowin/Severn Ojibwe, and Cree/nēhiyawēwin.

Viljo Rosvall and Janne Voutilainen, while working to organize lumber workers with the Lumber Workers Industrial Union of Canada (LWIUC) at Onion Lake, disappeared in November 1929 and were later found dead. These deaths have been contested: many believe that they were killed for their work in the labour movement, while the official inquest stated their deaths were accidental and due to drowning.

This collection of records includes academic and popular articles related to the deaths of Rosvall and Voutilainen, and materials related to their grave site and memorials. The most significant item here is an affidavit made by Arthur Alanko to Ernie Epp and Paul Pugh: he states that while visiting Finland in 1990 he was given information about men who had killed Rosvall and Voutilainen and then returned to Finland. This information is new to the story as generally understood and told as part of Thunder Bay's popularly understood history.

Raymond Souster was born in 1921 in Toronto, Ontario, He lived there until his passing in 2012. He never lived outside of Toronto except during his military service in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 40s. Outside of his military service he was employed by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce until his retirement in 1985. His literary career began with an association with John Sutherland and his literary magazine First Statement. This led to him launching a literary magazine titled Direction in 1943. He was awarded the governor general award in 1964, and continued publishing works well into the 70s and 80s.

After Souster ended Direction he began a partnership with Louis Dudek and Irving Layton to launch the Contact magazine from 1952-1954, and Contact Press from 1952-1967. This partnership with Louis Dudek would also lead to the two working together on many of Souster’s poetry collections such as Selected Poems released in 1956 and included poems by Souster chosen by Dudek for publication. Souster collaborated with a wide variety of poets through Contact Press and worked to bring attention to Canadian poetry. He was also in contact with many American poets such as Sidney “Cid” Corman, Jonathon Williams, Charles Olson, and Louis Zukofsky. Souster received feedback from these poets on his collections while providing them with feedback of his own. He was incredibly involved in the poetic community especially for Canadian poetry.

Outside of poetry, Souster also published two works of fiction, one titled The Winter of Time in 1949, and the other titled On Target in 1972. He published these under the pseudonyms Raymond Holmes and John Holmes. His contributions to the literary community, not only in his own poetry, but through his collaborations with others and his work in publishing makes him an influential force for many Canadian poets. His publishing work at Contact Press allowed him to uplift new Canadian writing which included work from Margaret Atwood and Michael Ondaatje. He was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1995, and the League of Canadian Poets named an annual prize after Souster in January of 2012.

Senator Norman M. Paterson was born in 1883 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

He was appointed to the senate in 1940 by then Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, and retired in 1981.

Outside of the senate and his business, Paterson was charitable, giving to multiple organisations focusing on education and church programs. He became the first Chancellor of Lakehead University in 1965, and held the position until 1971. He died in 1983 at the age of 100. He founded a charity in his name through the Presbyterian Church which is still operating. He was a key figure in Lakehead University's history, and he helped open the library on the Thunder Bay Campus which is named after him.

Frederick O. Robinson was born in Port Arthur, Ontario on Aug. 2, 1903. He attended public and high school in Port Arthur and then served his apprenticeship to the machinist trade in the C.N.R. shops. He worked for 25 years as a skilled machinist in the Port Arthur shops of the C.N.R. until his election to the Ontario legislature in 1943. He continued to work as a C.N.R. machinist between sessions of the legislature, and after his election to the office of mayor, he worked in the C.N.R. shops on weekends.

He entered public life in January 1943 when he was elected to the Port Arthur Board of Education. In August of the same year he was elected to the Ontario legislature as C.C.F. member for Port Arthur. He was M.L.A. for Port Arthur until his defeat in 1951. In civic affairs, he remained on the Board of Education until 1946 when he was elected as alderman. In 1949, he became Mayor of Port Arthur; he remained in this post except for 1952 when he was defeated until 1955 when he resigned to become personnel manager for the Public Utilities Commission. He left active political life at this time. He resigned from the Public Utilities Commission in 1966 because of ill health. In July, 1969, he died.

The Frederick O. Robinson fonds comprises 7 feet of correspondence, clippings, pamphlets, articles and other material and is contained in seventeen transfer cases. The folder titles in the main are those designated by Mr. Robinson. Some re-arrangement of the material has been effected in order to comply with the folder titles. Since the folders themselves were in no apparent order when .they were donated to the university, the following arrangement was thought to be most suitable for research purposes:
I. Pre-1943 Period
II. Political Affairs (relating to the C.C.F.)
III. The Ontario Legislature and Provincial Affairs, 1943-51
IV. Provincial and Local Affairs.
V. Local and Municipal Affairs.
VI. General
VII. Miscellaneous

Records of Reverend Toivo Johannes Pajala (1903-1972), minister of Saalem Pentecostal Church.

Toivo Pajala was born Dec 31, 1903, in Vimpeli, Finland. His family was Lutheran, with some ties to the Pentecostal Church. Pajala migrated to Canada at age 19, and was in Port Arthur at least by 1923. For many years he made a living as a bushworker.

Religion became an important part of Pajala's life: he became Laestadian, then Pentecostal. He attended the Western Bible College in Winnipeg for two years, and then was ordained in 1946 in Toronto. He married his wife Sylvia in 1949 shortly before returning to Port Arthur.

From 1949 to 1963, Pajala was pastor of Saalem Finnish Pentecostal Church in Port Arthur. In 1951, he established a Finnish-language Pentecostal radio program on CKPR, particularly reaching bushworkers and others in rural areas, and people unable to leave their homes. He was also well known for supporting immigrants to the region, and providing funeral services when others would not.

Pajala spent 1963-1967 as a pastor in Waukegan, Illinois. After 1967, he officially retired, and returned to Port Arthur, where he was still active in the church. His death was in 1972.

Most of the records in this fonds relate to either Pajala's religious education in the 1940s (organized by class or by notebook) or the sermons he gave in Finnish or English, in Port Arthur and by radio (organized loosely by theme.)

The last few files of the fonds relate to a project after Pajala’s death: to interview those who knew him and memorialize him. The book “Kansanpappi Toivo Pajala,” written by Tellervo Kähärä and available in the Library, is a result of that work.
