Bien que ce fonds d’archives contienne peu de dossiers concernant la pratique médicale de Ricardo de la Riva, on y retrouve quelques dossiers de l’hôpital St Joseph et l’hôpital général qui traitent surtout des horaires de garde ou encore de changement des structure au sein du centre hospitalier.

La grande majorité des dossiers de ce fonds d’archives proviennent de comités, associations ou groupements de la ville, lorsque Ricardo de la Riva était conseiller municipal. En effet, composés de procès-verbaux, correspondance, rapports, budgets, cartes et plans, les dossiers non seulement nous renseignent sur le rôle que les de la Rivas ont joué respectivement dans les comités sur lesquels ils siégeaient, mais documentent aussi plus de vingt-huit ans de vie politique, sociale et culturelle à Sudbury, et les changements et l’évolution de la ville pendant cette période.

Au-delà de dossiers sur la francophonie tant pour ce qui est de l’éducation, des activités culturelles que des services offerts par la ville, de nombreux dossiers traitent de projets soumis et réalisés ou non en ce qui concerne le développement économique, les transports routiers, le patrimoine architectural et de l’aménagement urbain et les différents services offerts aux citoyens de la ville, tant par la municipalité que par les associations, regroupements et organismes.

En effet, les dossiers du Musée du moulin à fleur témoignent des activités de ce musée, de son administration mais aussi des partenariats avec d’autres organismes ou groupements du quartier et des projets communs réalisés. Mentionnons aussi la documentation exhaustive sur les silos du moulin à fleur, leur historique, les projets de restauration et d’utilisation de ceux-ci.

Les dossiers de correspondance des concitoyens de la circonscription représentés par de la Riva, ainsi que la correspondance avec les employés de la ville et les suivis des dossiers témoignent de l’importance qu’il apportait à chaque lettre reçue, mais avant tout nous renseignent sur les préoccupations des citoyens de cette circonscription.

De nombreux dossiers composés de rapports, études, coupures de presse, plans d’ingénierie documentent le réaménagement routier dans la ville, et tout particulièrement en ce qui concerne le centre-ville et le quartier du moulin à fleur.

Il est en de même pour le centre-ville. Les différents rapports, études, plans d’architecture, procès-verbaux de comités documentent les différentes interventions et changements en ce qui a trait à son développement économique, sa revitalisation, la rénovation des immeubles, les problèmes de stationnement. De nombreux projets tel que la bibliothèque municipale, l’établissement d’un centre culturel, la possibilité d’un nouvel aréna, la venue d’un casino au centre-ville sont très bien documentés, et nous renseignent sur la position de Ricardo de la Riva en ce qui concerne ces projets.

Les procès-verbaux, motions, notes, propositions de budgets et autres documents du Conseil municipal de la ville nous renseignent sur le fonctionnement du Conseil, les différentes lois et règlements votés mais aussi sur sa structure interne et les liens avec les différents paliers gouvernementaux. Plusieurs notes manuscrites et lettres d’opinion de Ricardo de la Riva donnent un aperçu de ses positions et de sa vision pour la ville. Le fonds d’archives contient de nombreux dossiers de différents comités de la ville. Pour n’en nommer quelques-uns, le comité du zonage, le comité de planification et du développement, le comité de l’ingénierie, sont documentés par plusieurs dossiers tout comme le ‘Sudbury Airport Review Committee’. On peut aussi y retrouver une documentation assez volumineuse sur l’aménagement de Junction Creek et les plans d’améliorations communautaires pour différents quartiers de la ville, et plusieurs dossiers sur l’environnement provenant entre autre de l’Office de protection de la nature du district du Nickel (OPNDN). Mentionnons aussi plusieurs dossiers contenant des informations sur l’historique de bâtiments de la ville et de leur restauration ou valeur patrimoniale.

This series consists of meeting minutes for the Municipal Council for the Town and City of Fort William. Comprehensive indexes compiled by staff at the City Clerk’s office provide access to the various issues discussed at council meetings.

Under the provisions of the Municipal Act (2001), City Council votes on the passing of new by-laws and the amendment of existing by-laws in Council meetings, based on recommendations and advice from the Office of the City Clerk.

It is through Council Meetings that decisions are made and resolutions are achieved.

This series contains minutes from Council meetings of The City of Thunder Bay. The City of Thunder Bay was officially incorporated under the City of the Lakehead Act (1969) when the former municipalities of Port Arthur, Fort William, Neebing and McIntyre were amalgamated. The merging of the municipalities occurred following a regional study prepared by the provincial Minister of Municipal Affairs in 1968. The study had been proposed by Saul Laskin, former Mayor of Port Arthur and first Mayor of Thunder Bay, and jointly signed by the Mayors of all five councils. The report recommended the merging of the municipalities citing benefits such as the economic promotion of the area and benefits of scale such as cost reductions and development opportunities. In 1969, a formal Organization Committee was established to prepare for the administration of the new City.

Following the formal amalgamation of the City, by-laws were established to set out the rules for procedure for Council meetings and the organization of policy committees to cover the various elements of government administration. In July 1970, Council approved the establishment of four policy committees which were divided into the following categories; Protection of Persons and Property, Health and Social Services, Recreation and Community Services and Planning. With changes to the corporate organization of city government throughout the 1970’s, policy committees had been reorganized. In 1978, under By-law 303-1978 (amended in 1979, 1981 and 1982) three Standing Committees were established relating to Engineering and Operations, Community Services and Community Planning and Development. These committees comprised of members of Council who wished to serve on them, with no fewer than seven members per committee. At 2011, Committee of the Whole Meetings are attended by all City Councilors and are divided into; Community Services, Planning, Operations and Administrative Services.

Between 1973 and 1976, Councilors were elected representatives from each of the four wards established for The City of Thunder Bay at that time; Fort William, Port Arthur, Neebing and McIntyre. From 1977, Council consisted of representatives from the newly established ward system which included the creation of seven distinct wards within the City; Current River, McKellar, Red River, Northwood, Westfort, McIntyre and Neebing. As of 1986, Council consisted of 12 members and the Mayor; one representative from each of the seven wards and 5 representatives reflecting the at large areas surrounding Thunder Bay. In accordance with Bylaw
139-2006, the 13 members of Council each serve a term of four years.

Mayors presiding over Council in the time reflected in this series include; Saul Laskin (1970-1972), Walter Assef (1973-1978 and 1981-1985), Dusty Miller (1979-1980), Jack Masters (1986-1991), David Hamilton (1992-1997) and Ken Boshcoff (1998-2003).

The Urban Renewal Department was established as a department of The City of Thunder Bay upon amalgamation of the City in 1970. The department was headed by a Director of Urban Renewal, who reported to the City Coordinator. The main responsibilities of the department included property acquisition and the relocation of persons and businesses affected by these acquisitions, neighbourhood improvement, commercial development, including retail and parking areas, installations and improvements to city infrastructure and industrial development. Between 1970 and 1974, the Urban Renewal Department also engaged in social services activities including activities relating to welfare and job assistance. Following the reorganization of The City of Thunder Bay in 1975, the Urban Renewal Department became known as Urban Redevelopment and was incorporated under the Planning Department, reporting to the Director of Planning. It was at this time that social services activities were withdrawn from its portfolio.
