Between 1989 and 2005, Canadian officials and academics undertook programs to promote cooperative security and later human security in the Asia-Pacific region. The defining feature of these initiatives was their emphasis on “Track Two” diplomacy – informal dialogues involving academics, experts, civil society groups, and officials in their private capacities. These initiatives aimed to broaden security discussions beyond military issues, foster dialogue, and strengthen Canada’s role as a constructive middle power. These efforts produced more than a dozen programs, working groups, dialogues, and collaborative research initiatives intended to deepen regional engagement and encourage multilateral exchange.

The earliest and most influential of these efforts was the North Pacific Cooperative Security Dialogue (NPCSD), which became a model for subsequent Canadian engagements. Over time, the scope of activities widened to include involvement in a range of institution building ventures such as the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), the Canada–Korea Forum, and the Canada-Japan Symposium for Peace and Security Cooperation.

Several senior Canadian officials were engaged in these “Track Two” initiatives, including Senator Jack Austin, who encouraged the integration of scholarly research and policymaking. The Right Honourable Joe Clark, Secretary of State for External Affairs recognized the need to renew foreign policy thinking in the immediate post-Cold War era, as well as the importance of the Asia-Pacific region. Later, the Honourable Lloyd Axworthy, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, advanced Canada’s leadership in human security in the Asia Pacific region.

Three leading Canadian international relations scholars provided leadership and continuity for these projects, as well. Dr. Paul Evans, then at York University and later at the University of British Columbia was co-director of the NPCSD, and co-founded CSCAP, the Canada-Korea Forum, and the Canadian Consortium on Human Security (CCHS). Dr. David Dewitt, professor at York University and director of its Centre for International and Security Studies, co directed the NPCSD, and co founded CSCAP and CANCAPS. Dr. Brian Job, professor at the University of British Columbia, directed the Canadian Consortium for Human Security and played central roles in CSCAP at both the national and regional levels, and was co-chair of the Canada-Japan Peace and Security Symposium.

While the regional institutions established by these “Track Two” initiatives did not fade away after 2005, much of the financial support for these programs did, as Canadian officials shifted their foreign policy focus to the war on terrorism and the war if Afghanistan. In 2024, Dewitt, Evans and Job – drawing upon their firsthand experience – wrote a detailed account and analysis of these initiatives in a research report entitled Building Cooperative Security in the Asia Pacific: Canadian Track-Two Initiatives, which offered insight into this period of Canadian foreign policymaking, as well as the importance of “Track Two” diplomacy in building regional security.

Papers in this collection include the records of Evans, Dewitt, and Job, which document their role in Canadian international security policy development from 1988 to 2005, Track Two diplomacy research, the North Pacific Cooperative Security Dialogue (NPCSD), the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP), the Canada–Korea Forum (KCF), the Canada–Japan Symposium on Peace and Security Cooperation. These papers also include several publication series, such as Eastern Asia Policy Papers, North Pacific Policy Papers, and Canadian Consortium on Asia Pacific Security (CANCAPS) Bulletins. It also includes the research report entitled Building Cooperative Security in the Asia Pacific: Canadian Track-Two Initiatives written by Dewitt, Evans and Job outlining the various cooperative security initiatives in the Asia-Pacific from 1988 to 2005, and their involvement in same.

In his capacities as a minister, teacher and administrator, Nathanael Burwash exerted tremendous influence on both the course of the Methodist Church in Canada and the development of the educational system in Ontario for over half a century. In view of this dual role, Burwash's papers are of cardinal interest to religious and educational historians; nevertheless, they also contain valuable insights into the political, social and economic conditions in Canada between 1860 and the end of the First World War. The collection held by the Archives includes a large selection of Burwash's correspondence, diaries, sermons, addresses, essays, lectures, manuscripts, and biographical material.

Burwash's correspondence has been organized chronologically and thematically. The bulk of the material has been classified as general correspondence, but, where the volume or importance of correspondence on a particular subject warranted, a separate file was created. When ever possible, Burwash's replies were placed with the letters in response to which they were written. The major portion of the correspondence relates to the administration of Victoria College: included are letters from students seeking advice, requests for academic recommendations and honourary degrees, applications for staff openings and salary increases, questions concerning curriculum and examinations and debates over the relationship between the university and the government. The close ties between Victoria and other Methodist institutions such as Albert College, Columbian Methodist College and Wesley College in Winnipeg are clearly illustrated. Information concerning the university's financial arrangements and endowments has largely been segregated, but the researcher should also scan the general correspondence and the Massey family correspondence for a more complete picture. The family correspondence provides insights into Burwash's private opinions and reflects many values of Canadian family life. Although there are occasional questions regarding spiritual matters, the problems of training young men for the ministry or mission work, there are not as many as might be expected from the nature of Burwash's involvements. The bulk of the religious correspondence deals with the issue of Higher Criticism (particularly the Workman and Jackson controversies). Because Burwash was generally perceived to be a moderate liberal in theological matters, he received solicitations for support from both conservatives and radicals within the Methodist Church.

Although a number of the diaries are little more than listings of appointments and meetings, others are detailed accounts of Burwash's daily activities as a young preacher and professor and outline the nature of his spiritual concerns. The division of the remainder of the material into sermons, addresses, lectures, articles, essays, and manuscripts was often difficult and, of necessity, occasionally arbitrary. Within each category, the material was arranged chronologically. Generally, any piece containing a text (unless a title indicated otherwise) was classified as a sermon; pieces addressed to an audience (usually without a text) were labelled as addresses or lectures. The lecture notes contain examples of Burwash's work both as a student and as a teacher. Compositions which seem to have been written strictly for publication rather than for an audience were considered to be essays, articles, or manuscripts. The collection includes the complete manuscript for A Manual of Christian Theology in the Inductive Method and the manuscript and several drafts of The History of Victoria College.

Burwash's writings reflect an emphasis on the inner spiritual life of the individual and the importance of such Wesleyan traditions as Christian perfection. His work was an interesting example of a nineteenth century struggle to reconcile spiritual and scientific truths, although like most Methodists he was confident that all modes of truth were ultimately harmonious. Burwash's articulation of Wesleyan doctrine was designed to separate superficial and fundamental concepts in order to prepare a doctrinal basis for church union. The biographical and autobiographical material,initially prepared by Burwash and subsequently by his eldest son Edward,is incomplete in that it deals only with the period of Burwash's life prior to the 1890's. However, it contains interesting information on the nature of the educational system in Ontario, the lifestyle of a young preacher in both rural and urban stations, and the problems facing Victoria College immediately prior to federation.

The fonds is arranged in five series: Correspondence, 1865-1925; Diaries and journal, 1859-1914; Writing, 1860-1917; Notes and manuscripts, 1862-1923; and Records, 1863-1927.

The Trinity College Tennis Club began as the St. Hilda's Tennis Club around 1940. Sometime later (1950-52) it became known as the Trinity Grads Tennis Club (membership dependent on being a graduate of any university). In 1962 it became the St. George Tennis Club, opening up membership to all interested players. About 1976 the name was changed again to the Trinity College Tennis Club. There were originally five courts; two were lost in 1960 when St. Hilda's expanded. In 2012, the courts were closed due to the construction of the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport. In 2016, the Club was advised that Trinity College would not re-open the courts. Despite lengthy negotiations between the Club, Trinity College, and the City, the final AGM was held on September 17, 2017.
