Scope and content
Series consists of records of a number of sports associations, federations and councils that were active in the 1970s, especially in hockey and gymnastics. The Thunder Bay Gymnastics Association, Ontario Gymnastics Federation, Northwestern Ontario Regional Gymnastics, Annual Lakehead Sports Celebrity Dinner, Northwestern Ontario Council all focused on Northwestern Ontario athletes, and their accomplishments. The need to record accomplishments of athletes was answered by the formation of a Sports Hall of Fame for Northwestern Ontario. The organization was officially launched at the first annual general meeting held on May 7, 1977 in Thunder Bay; induction dinners are still an annual event as well as published pamphlets. In Cairine's role as Northwestern Ontario Co-Ordinator for the Multicultural History Society of Ontario 's project Multi-Ethnic History in the Province, a full record as possible of immigration to Ontario, ethnicity, and old country origins was developed by sharing Finnish-Canadian historical culture. Resources were gathered, volunteers and community based researchers built an extensive archive of taped interviews as well as photographs. Oral history material submission reports, interview log forms and accession forms were shared with MHSO. Also included from the Minister of State for Multiculturalism news releases and Cultures Canada issues.
