which provided good middleclass jobs for nearly everyone for over a century. However, from 2002-2012,
Ontario lost over 300,000 manufacturing jobs equivalent to 30% of the industry. Typical of many rural
post-industrial communities in Canada, Smiths Falls is left with the challenges of a shrinking population
and underused industrial buildings.
This thesis explores innovative ways to adaptively reuse a 19th century mill complex in Smiths Falls in a
way that positively impacts the region by reconnecting the community with their industrial heritage. The
project uses the four-pillar model of sustainability to investigate the role of social equity, cultural vitality,
economic prosperity and environmental balance in the rehabilitation process and how this contributes to
community resilience.
The methodology integrates a bottom-up community approach within the structure of the ICOMOSTICCIH
Dublin Principles. The first step is documenting and understanding the local context including
engagement with multiple stakeholders (local youth, indigenous groups, and visitors). Next, is planning to
protect and conserve values of the site, and thirdly, proposing an intervention which meets the needs and
desires of the community. The final step is to interpret the local industrial cultural landscape within the
larger context of the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site.
This study of the mills in Smiths Falls could serve as a case study and model for the rehabilitation of
other industrial sites in rural North America and beyond.","2018","published",,,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,"","","","ICOMOS","",,"scientific_symposium","19th General Assembly, New Delhi, 2017",,"en",,,,,"public",,"paper",,,,,,,,,"ICOMOS 19th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium ""Heritage and Democracy""","New Delhi, India","13-14th December 2017","other",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,,"","","","Algonquins of Ontario.
