The Government of Ontario is one of the original sponsors. The Conference is under the Distinguished Patronage of His Excellency The Right Honourable Roland Michener, Governor-General of Canada. c.c., C.D., The Conference is also honoured to have as Patrons the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, P.C., O.B.E., M.A., LL.D. and the Honourable Leslie Frost, P.C., Q.C., LL.D., D.C.L. The membership of the Convening Board of the Conference is made up of the following persons: Professor J. Jameson Bond, University of Alberta7 Professor Robert Bone, university of Saskatchewan; Professor J. D. Chapman, University of British Columbia; Professor Yves Dube, Laval Universityi Professor J. c. Gilson, University of Manitoba7 Mr. Christian de Laet, Secretary-General, Canadian Council of Resource Ministers7 Mr. Ian Macdonald, Deputy Treasurer, Province of Ontarioi Mr. David Morgan, Lakehead University7 Professor E. R. W. Neale, Memorial University of Newfoundland; Professor Norman Pearson, University of Guelph; Mr. James Ramsay, Department of Trade and Development, Province of Ontarior Mr. Richard Rehmer, Q.C.; Mr. Norman Simpsoni Professor W. Y. Watson, Laurentian University; �- 2 - Professor F. T .. M,. White, McGill University. The function of the Convening Board is to determine the objectives, the format and all general policy for the creation and administration and conduct of the Conference. The objects of the conference have been defined by the convening Board to be: "To examine the practicability of a continuing long range economic development and land use plan for the urbanization, industrialization populating and general development of Mid-Canada; and to this end to use the concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor as a focal point. And if such a long range economic development and land use plan is found to be both feasible and practicable, then to formulate recommendations and suggested course of action to be delivered to the Federal and Provincial Governments, to financial, commercial and industrial sectors of the National Community and to Canadian Universities." The Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 20 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. The Concept envisages a coast-to-coast development corridor from two to five hundred miles in width running from Newfoundland through Labrador, northern Quebec, south of James Bay, then northwest �- 3 - across the unopened Ontario clay belt, through Northern Manitoba with a spur into Churchill, Saskatchewan and Alberta where the Corridor splits into three parts, one going into the Northwest Territories up the Mackenzie River Valley to the Arctic Ocean at Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. While the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept will be used as a focal and starting point for the conference, it may well be that the Conference will find that, in principle, a completely different approach to a Plan for the Mid-North should be taken. Thus the Conference is in no way bound or committed to the Development Corridor Concept. Should the recommendations and suggested courses of action as formulated by the Conference support the creation of a Mid-Canada Development Plan it is intended that the Federal, Provincial (exclusive of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and Territorial Governments should prepare a Plan in co-operation with the Universities of Canada and Canadian controlled private enterprise. The Convening Board invited Richard Rohmer,Q.C. to be the Chairman of the conference, and President of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation controlled by three of the sponsoring Universities. Professor Norman Pearson, Chairman of Th&Centre For Resource Development, University of Guelph is Secretary of the Foundation. Mr. Adam H. Zimmerman,C.A., Vice-President and Comptroller of Noranda Mines Limited is Treasurer. The officers of the Foundation serve without �- 4 remuneration. The function of the Foundation is to provide the corporate structure through which the Conference funds will be raised and all staff and administrative expenses will be met. The Foundation has been qualified for income tax exemptions, and all payments and donations to it will be deductible. The Conference will be held in two separate sessions. The first will be August 20th, 21st and 22nd of 1969 and the second in August of 1970. Field trips through the Corridor and to Siberia and Northern Scandina~ will be taken in the period between Sessions. The First Session of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference will be held at Lakehead University. Field trips through the Corridor will occur during the months of September, October and November of this year and will be of approximately ten days duration. The field trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia is planned for June of 1970, with a time requirement of about two weeks. This trip will be optional for all Conference participants, whereas the Corridor field trip is essential for all members. The Second Session of the Conference will be held during August of 1970 at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be selected. At the First Session of the Conference the problems - as opposed to the solutions-related to urbanization, industrialization, transportation, resource use and many other factors eoncerning the growth, development and planning of the Mid-North will be discussed. �- 5 - The Conference will deal with eight major topics and will be divided for its ongoing work into eight Groups each assigned to one topic as well as to consideration of the general theme of the Conference. Those Canadians who present papers at the First Session will provide their respective Groups and each Group Leader with a point of departure. While some of those who deliver papers may not be "of the Mid-North" all of them have a full understanding of the growth problems confronting Canada and are fully qualified to speak on the subjects which they have accepted. Each of the Group Leaders will be fully experienced in Canada's Mid-North and will be able to supply the backg round and direction necessary to best guide his Group in its work over the year's period. The topics which will be considered and the Conference Groups which are formed to deal with them are: Urbanization and Industrialization Transportation and Communication Environment Human and Economic Factors Resources Constitutional and Jurisdictional Matters Technology Financing and Trade Implications �- 6 - Some of those who have agreed to prepare opening papers are: Dr. o. M. Solandt, Chairman, Science Council of Canada - Technology; Father John Page, University of Manitoba - Environment; the Honourable Dufferin Roblin, P.C., Executive Vice-President of Canadian Pacific Investments Limited - Human and Economic Factors. Other distinguished Canadians have been and will be approached by the Convening Board to deliver papers on the remaining topics. The Corridor Field Trips during the Fall of this year will be designed to meet the interest of each specific Group. It is anticipated that some of the major points to be visited will be the west coast of Newfoundland, Churchill Falls, Schefferville, Val d'Or, Rouyn, Lakehead, Moosonee, Churchill, Thompson, Hay River, Yellowknife, Peace River region, Prince Rupert, Whitehorse, Inuvik and Tuktoyatuk. There will ee many other places of special interest to be seen. The Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandinavia will be for the purpose of observing at first hand urbanization and industrialization experience achieved in areas whichare comparable or even more difficult than Canada's Mid-North. The Conference hopes to visit such places as Kirana in Sweden and Norilsk, Irkutsk and other important northern cities in Siberia. A few days at Expo '70 in Japan on the way home will add to the trip. �- 7 - At the Second Session of the Conference (to be held in August of 1970 - place and dates to be selected) each Group will formulate and present recommendations and suggested courses of action pertaining to the Group's topic and to the general theme of the Conference. The report of each Group will then be discussed by the Conference in plenary session. The recommendations and findings of the Conference will be recorded, published and distributed on a nationwide basis in accordance with the Objects of the Conference. There will be one hundred and fifty seats at the MidCanada Development Corridor Conference. Twenty-five of these will be for Canadian Universities, fifty for representatives of the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments, and seventy-five for representatives of Canadian industrial, commercial and financial firms, labour organizations, the professions and spokesmen for the Indian and Eskimos of Canada. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations to participate will be on a selective basis. It is believed that the work of the Conference and the ultimate establishment of a Plan for the Mid-North should be exclusively undertaken by Canadians. Accordingly invitations to participate in the Conference will be extended only to Canadian citizens and corporations and other organizations which are Canadian controlled. On the other hand provision will be made for 11 observers 11 whose origins or interests may not be Canadian. The funding of the Conference will be principally by payments received from participating firms and governmental departments �- 8 - each of which will be asked to pay the costs of its Conference representative. These costs are now budgeted at Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars which includes all transportation, accomodation and other expenses for both Sessions of the Conference including the Corridor Field Trip. In addition a further amount of Fifteen Hundred Dollars is requested which funds will be utilized to support the attendance of the representaives of the participating Universities. The cost of the Field Trip to Siberia and Northern Scandi~avia {which is optional) is estimated at a further Two Thousand Dollars. All payments are tax deductible. In addition to the monies already received from participating corporations the Government of Ontario has made a substantial contribution. It is hoped that the Federal and other Provincial Governments will see fit to make comparable grants in addition to sending representatives to the Conference. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining are to be distributed to Canadian Universities for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. Provision will be made for those of the press, television, film and radio media who wish to cover any aspect of the Conference including the field trips through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor, Siberia and Scandinavia4 �- 9 - An Advisory Council to the Conference has been established. The first members of this group are Mr. N. R. Crump, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Pacific Railway; Mr. Arnold Hart, Chairman, Bank of Montreal; Mr. E. C. Bovey, President, Northern and Central Gas Company : Mr. c. P. Baker, President, Foundation Company of Canad.a Limited; Brig. H. W. Love, Executive Director, The Arctic Institute of North America. The Advisory Council will be canvassed from time to time in order that their opinions can be obtained in relation to Conference policy and other matters. Their counsel will be most necessary to the success of the Conference. The Convening Board intends to make this examination of the potential of our Mid-North the most important and significant ever undertaken on the future growth of Canada. Canada will have an additional one hundred million citizens one hundred years from now. Canada today has the technological ability, the human resources, the wealth to embark on a planned scheme for the opening up, urbanization, industrialization and populating of the massive habitable regions which lie in Mid-Canada so that those one hundred million will not have to remain huddled against the border of the United States, so that the incredible treasures of our natural resources can become accessible, so that they can be taken from above or from under the ground, processed and made by our people into manufactured products providing employment for our citizens and finished goods for competitive consumption in the expanding markets of the world. �- 10 - Canada can continue to grow in its Mid-North sporadically, without plan, virtually by accident of discovery of resources7 or it can grown in accordance with a far reaching plan of economic development and land resources use which will provide for new cities, new transportation links, new methods of climatic control, new environmental techniques, new harbours, new technology of all kinds and, finally, a new common objective or National Purpose for the people of Canada.

And if such a long-range economic development and land use plan is found to be both feasible and practicable, then to formulate recommendations and suggested courses of action to be delivered to the Federal and Provincial Governments, to financial, commercial and industrial sectors of the National Community and to Canadian Universities. �Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference MID-CANADA DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR CONFERENCE A two-part "Mid-Canada Development Corridor" Conference on the feasibility and practicability of the preparation of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North will be held in 1969 under the sponsorship of the University of Guelph, Lakehead University, Laurentian University and the Government of Ontario. The theme of the Conference will be the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept which includes plans for new cities, harbours, railways, industries, roads to be built over the next 50 to 100 years to receive part of the 100 million population growth expected in Canada by 2067. Early in 1967 the idea of a transportation and development corridor was taken by Richard Roh mer, of Toronto, to Norman Simpson, President of Acres Limited, who agreed that his firm would undertake its research. The Acres Group is Canada's largest totally Canadian Engineering organization. The combined efforts of Acres and Mr. Roh mer resulted in their jointly producing the Rohmer-Acres Concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor which was first published as a Centennial Project at the beginning of July, 1967. The Concept envisages a coast-to-coast development corridor from two to five hundred miles in width running from Newfoundland through Labrador, northern Quebec, south of James Bay, then northwest across the unopened Ontario clay belt, through Northern Manitoba with a spur into Churchill), Saskatchewan and Alberta where the Corridor splits into three parts, one going into the Northwest Territories up the Mackenzie River Valley to the Arctic Ocean at lnuvik and Tuktoyatuk, another into the Yukon Territory -and the third into the Prince Rupert sector of British Columbia. The provinces and the territories through which the Development Corridor passes will be asked to join the Conference as co-sponsors. �The Government of Canada has already agreed to a full participation in the Conference. The first organizational meeting of the Convening Board of the Conference was held on August 7th with representatives of Guelph, Lakehead and Laurentian Universities and the Government of Ontario in attendance. The general format and method of organization and financing of the Conference were decided upon at this meeting. The Conference is to be divided into two Sessions. The first will be held at Lakehead University on August 20th, 21st and 22nd, 1969. The second Session will be held early in 1970, at a place and on dates to be decided. The August, 1969, meeting of the Conference will discuss the problems, as opposed to the solutions, of the future and long-range urbanization, industrialization, populating and the general development of Canada's Mid-North. Papers will be delivered by outstanding Canadian authorities on eight major topics: Transportation and Communications, Resources, Environment, Human Factors, Jurisdictional and Constitutional Aspects, Technology, Urbanization and Industrialization, Financing. The Conference will be limited to one hundred and sixty persons. Each of the participants will be assigned to a working group of approximately twenty. In turn each group will study and examine the objectives of the Conference in relation to one of the major topics. After the first Session of the Conference adjourns in August, 1969, and before the second Session , each group will take part in a field trip to various places of interest throughout the entire Mid-Canada Development Corridor and will see at first hand the existing situation in the Mid-North. During the same period, about fifty Conference members will participate in an additional field trip through Siberia and Northern Sweden where the experience in urbanization, industrialization and general economic development is significant. The field trip to Siberia will depend upon the geo-political climate of the day. Early in 1970, the Conference wi 11 reconvene outside Ontario and inside the Corridor, to discuss solutions and the practicability and feasibility of a long-range economic development and land use plan for Canada's Mid-North. At that meeting each working group will prepare and submit recommendations to the plenary Conference for discussion and debate and for amendment, adoption or rejection. �The findings of the Conference will then be submitted to the Federal Government and the Provincial and Territorial Governments through which the Mid-Canada Development Corridor passes. The question whether the Conference will conclude with its 1970 Session or carry on in continuing sessions is yet to be decided. There will be one hundred and sixty seats at the Conference. The preliminary allocation will be: ten seats for the lecturers; fifty seats for Federal, Provincial and Territory representatives; seventy-five seats for Canadian "captains" of industry, commerce and finance; and twenty-five seats·for Canadian universities. Because of the limited number of seats the invitations will be on a selective basis. The expenses of all participants, such as travelling and hotel accommodation, will be paid by the Conference. Provision will be made for those of the press, television, film and radio media who wish to cover any aspect of the Conference including the field trips through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor, Siberia and Sweden. Policy concerning the direction and operation of the Conference will be under the control of the Convening Board which is made up of representatives of each of the sponsors, representatives of the Government of Canada, Mr. Norman Simpson and Richard Rohmer. The size of the Convening Board will be increased to accommodate representatives of such other governmental or university sponsors as may participate. The administration and organization will be in the hands of a newly created non-profit corporation, Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., which will also be the fund raising vehicle through which the Conference will receive its monies. It is anticipated that all donations to the Foundation will be tax deductible. An application for this privilege has been made. The letters patent of Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation, Inc., provide that when the work of the Foundation is finished any funds then remaining will be divided among the three sponsoring Universities to be used for the furtherance of research into the continuing development of Canada's Mid-North. The Board of Directors of the Foundation are Professor Norman Pearson (University of Guelph), David Morgan (Lakehead University), Dr. W. Y. Watson (Laurentian University), Norman Simpson, President, Acres Limited, Richard Rohmer, Q.C. In addition, an advisory Council to the Conference will be appointed from among the invited participants. The Advisory Council \ �will be canvassed from time to time in order that their opinions can be obtained in relation to Conference policy and other matters. Their counsel will be most necessary to the success of the Conference. The financing of the Conference will be through substantial donations by the corporations, trade unions and national associations whose representatives participate in the Conference. The Conference will seek a minimum contribution for each of the seventy-five seats allocated to this group. Funds will also be received from the Government of Ontario and from such other governments - Federal, Provincial or Territorial - which join as sponsors. The Convening Board is hopeful that all invited governments will accept the proposal to join the original sponsors in order that the scope of the Conference might be as nation-wide in its support and involvement as is possible. The Conference will also seek from certain of the corporate participants the use of their aircraft for a period of about ten days during the period August, 1969, to early 1970, in order to transport each of the eight working groups of the Conference on its field trip through the Mid-Canada Development Corridor. The Convening Board intends to make this examination of the potential of our Mid-North the most important and significant ever undertaken on the future growth of Canada. Canada will have an additional one hundred million citizens one hundred years from now. Canada today has the technological ability, the human resources, the wealth to embark on a planned scheme for the opening up, urbanization, industrialization and populating of the massive, habitable sectors of our country which lie in Mid-Canada so that those one hundred million will not have to remain huddled against the border of the United States, so that the incredible treasures of our natural resources can become accessible, so that they can be taken from above or from under the ground, processed and made by our people into manufactured products providing employment for our citizens and finished goods for competitive consumption in the expanding markets of the world.

Where will they live? Where will Will they simply increase the concentration of today's population that is physically and economically oriented to the United States border? Or will a significant number of them choose to live in model cities and towns planned from the ground up with people in mind, that will be built in the rich vast and beautiful land of Canada's Mid North? The starting point of the Conference relates to the MidCanada Development Corridor Concept originated by the Conference Chairman as a possible long-range economic development, land use and resources use plan for Canada's habitable Mid-North. However, the Conference is in no way bound to the corridor Concept 1 and might ultimately emerge with an entirely different approach to a policy and plan for the Mid-North. Inherent in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Concept is the belief that only with a policy and plan can intelligent and rational development take place. We in Canada are attempting to meet the problems of developing our North in a fragmented way. Real success will only be achieved when the necessary resources qan« our Federal and Provincial Governments, our industry and our society can �Page 5 (Cont'd.) be channelled into a recognized, co-ordinated, and suitably financed program - a Canada wide policy and plan. �Page 6 Montage of Press clippings re the "Concept" as put forward by Rehmer - -- �Page 7 Copy: A concept ..... in action The total feasibility of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, as conceived by Richard Rehmer, Q.C., hinged upon one primary factor: transportation. Could Canada build an east-west railway through the Mid-North, one that would pick up and connect existing north-south railways and create a transportation grid for the movement of heavy bulk materials over long distances in all weather? And if this could be done, could the corridor -- assisted by the transportation grid support new long-cycle towns and cities, new manufacturing and other industries, new ports, airfields, communications systems, highways, pipe lines and all of the facilities essential to permanent urbanization? one of the largest engineering firms in the world -- The Acres Group -- was retained to research this question in detail. Acres answer was "yes" and it was contained in a study that is today regarded as a basic inventory of Canada's assets: its minerals-oil, gas, agriculture, hydro potential, population, tourism, railways, air services, pipe lines, timber, climate and other factors. From Rohmer's original concept of a Mid-Canada Development Corridor, underscored by the extensive research of Acres, a concept is evolving. �Page 8 Montage of news clips announcing plans for conferences, field trips, formation of Foundation. �Page 9 Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference First Session - August 18th to 22nd, 1969 - Lakehead University Trips through Corridor - September, October, November 1969 Visit to northern Scandinavia and Siberia - June 1970 - optional Second Session - August 1970 150* Senior representatives of sponsoring universities, business, industry and government from all parts of Canada will participate in the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference. First Session: The first session will be devoted primarily to the consideration of the problems related to the future development of the middle north. Keynote speakers and panelists will give papers under the following general headings: (1) Urbanization and Industrialization (2) Resources (Human and Natural) (3) Transportation and Communications (4) Human and Environmental Factors (5) Financial and Trade Implications Each of the conference participants will be assigned to a discussion group of approximately 20 people. Each group will have participants from government, industry and universities in it. Group discussions will occur after the presentation a:t r each major topic. Discussions will be lead by• personswho due to their special skills or experience are considered to be the �Page 9 (Cont'd.} most knowledgeable in Canada concerning the Mid North region. Trips through Corridor During the September, October and November 1969 period Conference members will be asked to take part in 7 to 10 day field trips through the Corridor area. Groups of 20 persons will make five or six stops, at carefully chosen places in the Corridor, in order to familiarize themselves with living, working and other conditions at first hand. Group Leaders at the Lakehead University Session and for the tours are being chosen from Canadians with the most experience and knowledge of the Mid-North. Visit to Siberia It is planned that in May or June of 1970 approximately 50 Conference members will be able to tour Siberia and Northern Scandinavia to see, at first hand, developments in these countries. Arrangements for this tour are somewhat dependant on the gee-political climate at the time. Second Session: In August of 1970 the Conference will reconvene, at a place in the Corridor and on dates yet to be determined. The intention of the Second Session is to create recommendations and conclusions which will then be published and put forward to Government and to the people of Canada. �Page 9 (Cont'd.) We feel that the discussion of stimulating topics and ideas by university, government and industrial leaders at the two formal Sessions of the Conference, as well as during the tours through the Corridor, will produce a most exciting "cross pollenization" learning effect for all participants. * 25 speakers, panelists and group discussion leaders. 25 Federal, Provincial and Territorial representatives. 25 Canadian university representatives. 75 leaders of Canadian industry, business and labour. Total - 150 participants. Provision will also be made for press, television, film and radio media wishing to cover the Conference. �• Page 10 Mid-Canada Development Corridor Foundation Inc., Organization and administration of the Mid-Canada Development Corridor Conference is in the hands of a non-profit corporation MID-CANADA DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR FOUNDATION, INC., which is also the fund-raising vehicle through which the Conference will receive its monies.
