CA ON00159 P195 · Fonds · n.d; [ca. 1925-1947]

The William Meredith Ireton fonds contains 22 black & white photographs and 12 black & white negatives that attest to Ireton’s professional relocation to Northern Ontario and document the way of life in that area between 1925 and 1947.

Of the 22 photographs, at least 13 were taken in Connaught Station, Ontario before 1930. These photos depict Ireton himself, local townspeople (along with a dog named Woof Woof), social activities such as a picnic and concert, and buildings throughout town, including the drug store where Ireton worked as a pharmacist. Additional photos and negatives depict scenes on a dock, and of an unknown wedding, both in unidentified locations. Also included in the fonds are two photos of an Osulake Mines site at O’Sullivan Lake in 1947, likely reflecting Ireton’s work as an insurance salesman throughout Northern Ontario.

Consultations were held throughout Ontario and information exists for the meetings held in Northern Ontario: North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, Sudbury, Elliot Lake, Espanola, and Thunder Bay. Many groups, associations and industries submitted briefs. The forest industry, mining industry along with the tourism industry and indigenous communities, provincial parks as well as regional anglers & hunters and snowmobiling associations all presented their points of view and suggestions about the use of Crown Lands. A report on the Ancient Forest Ecology and Conservation of Lake Temagami is amongst the studies and reports presented. Also included are some original maps created for consultation with the public in general which illustrate what was suggested by the different groups for each region and the current situation at the time of the hearings and reports of the suggested land use.
