  • Summary

  • This week, Kate delves into the pages of the Haliburton Echo from July 30, 1953 to bring us stories about the local efforts of the Rotary Club. Plus, Paul talks about the Constitution Act of 1791 - one of the steps in the long evolution of Canada from being a colony to an independent country. Under the Constitution Act Britain split the former colony of New France into Upper and Lower Canada. The good intentions of the Act ended up with the Family Compact and Clergy Land Reserves. These in turn built up tensions that led to separate rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837/38. The British response to the rebellions moved Canada one step closer to Confederation.
