The Adrienne and Ricardo de la Riva fonds attests to Adrienne and Ricardo’s social involvement within the community of Sudbury and highlights their numerous political and cultural accomplishments and interests.

Although the fonds contains few records from Ricardo de la Riva’s medical practice, it does include some records from St. Joseph’s Hospital and the General Hospital, most of which relate to on-call schedules or restructuring changes at these institutions.

Most of the records in this fonds come from city committees, associations, or groups which Ricardo de la Riva was a part of as a city councillor. The records include meeting minutes, correspondence, reports, budgets, maps, and plans which shed light on positions Adrienne and Ricardo de la Riva held on various committees. These records document Sudbury’s political, social, and cultural evolution over the course of more than 28 years.

In addition to records on Francophone education, cultural activities, and services offered by the city, many documents deal with projects that were submitted and carried out. They concern economic development, road development, architectural and urban planning, and various services offered to citizens of the city either by the municipality or by associations, groups, and organizations.

The Flour Mill Museum records document, not only the activities of the museum and its administration, but also partnerships with other local organizations and groups involved in joint projects. There is also extensive documentation on the Flour Mill silos, their history, restoration, and use.

Files of correspondence to and from Ricardo de la Riva’s constituents, as well as correspondence and follow-ups with city employees, attest to the importance de la Riva placed on every letter he received.

Many reports, studies, newspaper clippings, and engineering plans document road rehabilitation in the city, especially in the downtown and Flour Mill area.

Additionally, there are different reports, architectural plans, and committee minutes that document various interventions and changes brought about regarding economic development, area revitalization, building renovations, and parking issues in the Flour Mill. Many projects, including the municipal library project, the establishment of a cultural centre, the possibility of a new arena, and a casino in the downtown core, are well documented and give information on the position taken by de la Riva during these projects.

While the meeting minutes, motions, notes, budget proposals, and other city council documents give information on council operations and bylaws which were passed, they also give information on the internal structure of the city and its relationship with various other levels of government. Several handwritten notes and opinion letters written by Ricardo de la Riva give a glimpse into his vision for the city. The fonds contains a number of records from different city committees such as the zoning committee, planning and development committee, the engineering committee, as well as the Sudbury Airport Review Committee, among others. There is also extensive documentation on community improvement projects in many areas of the city, including the Junction Creek development, accompanied by environmental records from the Nickel District Conservation Authority. Other records contain information on the history of city buildings, their restoration, and heritage value.

Ricardo de la Riva’s activities as part of the Junior Soccer League are also well documented.

The Housing Resource Centre (HRC) fonds consists of correspondence, memorandums, minutes, financial reports, press releases, news clippings, government documents, personnel files, and statistical reports.

Further importance is given to the financial and organizational struggles of non-profit and non-governmental organizations throughout the 1990s, as well as changes in government programs. The HRC's initial mandate did not cover the advocacy and support activities that it would later undertake, but its frontline contact with homeless peoples allowed for observations on the cycle of homelessness in the context of North Ontario.

The United Steelworkers of America (USWA) Timmins Office fonds attests to all activities, realizations, battles, struggles and achievements of the Union in the area. Although the fonds contains very few records from the first years of its presence in the regions of Timmins and Kirkland Lake, it still attests to the significant role the Union played in the area. Informing of the staff representatives’ responsibilities and services provided to the Locals, the USWA Timmins Office fonds also illustrates the different administrative functions of the Office.

In fact, some records, such as charters, by-laws, nomination forms, vote ballots and procedures for election, are indicative, not only of the process of affiliation of Locals to the USWA, but also of their duties. Minutes books, correspondence, financial statements and due journals give a better sense of understanding of the Timmins Office’s governing role. It also documents the coordination and administration of Locals’ activities. The fonds contains records in regard to the role of the Office with the Locals under its responsibility.

The USWA Timmins Office fonds also contains records in regard to tasks involved with the administration of the spaces and properties owned by the Union. Minutes of the Building Committee, appraisals and plans illustrate management, renovation and maintenance activities but also attest to their patrimonial value. Other records are indicative of the active involvement of the staff and Locals’ representatives, both in the social and political spheres. Plaques, correspondence and photographs, are testimonies not only of the Union’s participation to the erection of memorials for miners and the organization of the Day of Mourning, but also of the support to social groups such as Victims of Mining Environment and local food banks. Moreover, correspondence files and briefs attest to the lobbying efforts with the provincial and federal governments in regard to labour legislations, more specifically in the Health and Safety field. Some records are indicative of the Union’s official identification over the years; many artefacts, leaflets and newsletters bearing the USWA logo attest to the promotion of the Union and its public image. Booklets and other material published by the Union inform not only of the duties and responsibilities of staff positions, but are also indicative of the USWA’s role in educating and training its staff and members. A large number of documentation attests to battles and disputes involving the Union against the membership or the companies. Correspondence and related documents in regard to the merger of IUMMSM and USWA, are also included.

Certification and membership files, including seniority lists, organizer’s report and OLRB forms, are indicative of the organizing activities and development of membership as well as the process of affiliation to the USWA. These documents also inform of jurisdictional disputes against other unions. Numerous correspondences, union-management meeting minutes, policies and procedures attest to daily negotiations between the staff representatives and the companies in regard to the protection of the membership’s working conditions. Also, a large number of notes, proposals, memos, amended articles and agreements outline the process of collective bargaining. These files are quite complete and cover a long period of time. Moreover, incentive agreements, correspondence and job descriptions contained in the layoff files inform of the different steps of a company closure and measures put in place to encourage training and rehabilitation of employees. Also, the USWA Timmins Office fonds well documents the creation and implementation of procedures and legislations to protect the members from health and safety hazards. Minutes of Joint Health and Safety committees, inspection reports and documentation illustrate the commitment of staff and Locals’ representatives to work with the companies in order to provide a safe working environment.
