Indigenizing the Alternative Campus Tour at York University, Toronto, Canada
This article also explores the potential of re-wording common-day academic concepts and words as a means of decolonization. Words and names can lack the animacy and intimacy that are necessary in addressing the current social justice and sustainability crisis. Translated and unique words and concepts from Indigenous languages hold room for innovation. They convey a consistent message of interconnectedness between the human and more-than-human wor…
Decolonizing, Indigenizing, and Making Space for Indigenous Girls Visiting York University
We examine the possibilities for Indigenization afforded by a visit from the girls’ group, Young Indigenous Women's Utopia (YIWU), to York University. Through classroom presentations, workshops, and a book launch, the girls shared their knowledge, perspectives, culture, and art, challenged stereotypes, and inspired university community members. The visit encouraged local students and faculty to find innovative ways to disrupt prevailing colonial …
Competing claims in land-use policy: Property development and mineral aggregates industries
This paper offers an empirically grounded understanding of the historical processes by which economic and institutional actors, particularly industry networks operating over time, influenced regional-scale land use policies at critical junctures involving land conflicts. The research addresses understudied discourses, practices and relationships associated with changes in land use policy. The paper draws on theories of land conflicts and industry…

The Politics of Sewerage: Contested Narratives on Growth, Science, and Nature
Relevant actors in environmental resources disputes base their positions on specific assumptions about growth, science, and nature, and construct narratives to support these positions. The contest over the extension of a sewerage system in Ontario, Canada, illustrates this point. A productivist narrative sees sewers as necessary to meet the competitiveness of the city region and a growing demand for housing. It assumes that science can accommodat…

Pits, Peripheralization and the Politics of Scale: Struggles over Locating Extractive Industries in the Town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada
Chambers C. and Sandberg L. A. (2007) Pits, peripheralization and the politics of scale: struggles over locating extractive industries in the town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada, Regional Studies 41, 327-338. Blowers and Leroy hypothesize that peripheralization, a condition that accommodates locally unwanted land uses, tends to reproduce itself in certain locations. Yet, they acknowledge that the terms of such a condition can be challenged by elite …
Local Responses to Development Pressures: Conflictual Politics of Sprawl and Environmental Conservation
There is an increasing opposition to the absorption of farmland and natural habitats by housing subdivisions and infrastructure, a symptom of urban sprawl. Through an analysis of these challenges at a regional scale, we address the contradictions and tensions in the politics of sprawl and environmental conservation. This article compares environmental conservation on the Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill and Caledon (two towns in the Greater To…
Winning back more than words? Power, discourse and quarrying on the Niagara Escarpment
This paper explores the controversy and public hearing on the proposed extension of the largest limestone quarry in Canada, operated by Dufferin Aggregates at Milton, Ontario. The quarry constitutes an important source of construction material for the nearby Greater Toronto Area. However, the quarry is protected by the provincial Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act and located inside the UNESCO‐designated Niagara Escarpment Biosphere …
Challenging Lawn and Order: Environmental Discourse and Lawn Care Reform in Canada
A growing number of municipal by-laws banning the use of cosmetic pesticides on private lawns has fuelled the momentum of a lawn care reform movement in Canada. Entrenched battles have inspired civic debate about land stewardship, human health, economic governance, property rights, civic responsibility and aesthetics. This paper maps and explores the normative underpinnings and claims of the popular narratives defending and attacking the industri…
Friends or Foe? Invasive Species and Public Green Space in Toronto
Environmentalists and ecologists typically regard invasive species as ecologically detrimental and undesirable. Although the ecological impacts of invasive species are well documented, less attention has been devoted to the sociocultural contexts guiding responses to species invasion. In this study the roles of invasive species are reconsidered through three prominent green spaces in Toronto, Canada: the Don Valley Brick Works, High Park, and the…
Against the Grain: Foresters and Politics in Nova Scotia
This study of foresters and forestry in Nova Scotia presents profiles of seven forestry professionals, whose careers run from the 1920s to the present. Including figures from the interwar, postwar, and contemporary periods, the sample reflects issues and experiences in industrial, government, and civil-sector forestry. It points to a rich tradition of alternative and dissenting practices that is intertwined with the professional and political ort…

Dependent Development, Labour and the Trenton Steel Works, Nova Scotia, c. 1900-1943
The history of labour at the Trenton Steel Works of the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company [Scotia] is explored in the context of dependent development from circa 1900 to 1943. The local owners and managers of Scotia sought profits by aligning themselves with foreign capital and by manufacturing semi-manufactured steel and staples for export. The investment outlook was short-term, few attempts were made to diversity production, and the steel faci…
