Promoting Pioneer Settlement plus Jamaican Maroons in Halifax

  • サマリー

  • This week, Kate has the story of some of the ways that the Canadian Land and Immigration Company tried to entice early pioneering settlers to Haliburton County in the late 1860's and early 1870's. Plus Paul has the tale of how escaped slaves in Jamaica fled to the interior and mountains, set up farms and communities, and collectively came to be called Maroons (from a Spanish word that roughly translates to castaways or runaways). After a century of being a thorn in the side of the British colonial government, it was decided to deport one of the Maroon factions to Halifax in the British colony of Nova Scotia. In 2022 the event and it's aftermath was designated a Canadian national historic event.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
