Parks Planning Advocacy

The Ministry of Natural Resources began developing master plans for parks in the 1970s. The plan for Sleeping Giant Provincial Park (at that time Sibley Provincial Park) didn’t rely on any public consultation, and was not well received.

Park Plans include those for:
Sleeping Giant Provincial Park (1972)
Northern Lights Lake Area Plan (1972)
Ouimet Canyon (1975)

One Big Union

The One Big Union came into existence in 1919 as a Western Canadian industrial union revolt against the craft-dominated Trades and Labour Congress of Canada. For a short time the Lumber Workers Industrial Union #120 of the Industrial Workers of the World affiliated themselves with the O.B.U. since the I.W.W. was banned under the War Measures Act in 1918. Along with the I.W.W., the original majority shareholder in the Finnish Building Company, the Finnish Socialist Local was also banned. The Local donated its shares, nearly equally, to the Finnish O.B.U. Support Circle and the O.B.U. Central Committee, thus allowing the local O.B.U. Support Circle to gain control of the Labour Temple. However, the O.B.U. disappeared nearly as quickly as it came into existence and, by 1925, the former O.B.U. Finnish Support Circle, which had been acting independently of any remnant activities of the O.B.U. central organization, affiliated itself with the C.T.K.L. The O.B.U. turned over its shares in the Finnish Building Company to the C.T.K.L.

Northwestern Ontario Fish Inventory Collection

Fish inventory studies were conducted by Walter Momot, Sam Stephenson, and the students of biology class 4221, to examine trends in abundance and population variables for key indicator fish species. Sam Stephenson was a University of Manitoba Ph.D. student working with Momot as a teaching assistant. Connie Hartviksen, LU biology research and teaching assistant, performed taxonomic verifications and notations.

Connie Hartviksen noted on February 14, 1992, the status of their inventory since 1988 had collected specimens from 120 creeks and rivers, approximately 155 lakes in Northwestern Ontario.

The LU data collection including biology 4221 class represents 150 streams, 4x 150 for river data and 640 lakes concentrated in the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Primary watershed division, 2nd and 5th secondary watershed divisions in Ontario, within those two divisions 10 tertiary watershed divisions 2AD (units; 22, 19,1,4,5,6,24,23,7,10,9,11,13), 2AE (2), 4GA(16), 5QA(units; 8,4), 5PB(units; 1, 25,5,24,22,23) 5PA(3,5,7,8), 2AA(units; 1,2,3,4), 4GB(units 5,4,3,11), 2AB (all units,5 Lake Superior tributaries, 2AC (all units except 4 and 5, 21 Lake Superior tributaries)

This collection includes correspondence between Dr. Crossman and Dr. Momot regarding the verification of rare fish species. These fish have either been introduced or adapting to an environmental stressor such as climate change. Positive identification is an important step to mapping and documenting changes to their distribution overtime.
