General Faculties CouncilMel Hurtig’s Council of Canadians (COC) records are quite extensive, reflecting his close ties with the organization, and the fact that the Council’s existence is on-going. While most of the material is textual, there are some COC posters and artwork listed at the end of this series. The material is in good physical condition.
Mel Hurtig founded the Council of Canadians and served as Board Chairman, and his correspondence files are thick with incoming and outgoing letters. As well, he maintained files of COC Board meeting documents for the years he was actively involved on the Board. The COC files Hurtig maintained have been further described as Communications and Promotion; Chapter records; Financial; and Policy/Issues. The bulk of the records are in the category of Policy and Issues, which includes speeches, research and information files, major research topic files, and news clippings. The major issue confronted by the COC was Canada’s proposed Free Trade Agreement with the United States. The COC campaigned widely against the signing of any such agreement, and the records are filled with the Organization’s background research, policy statements, speeches, and writings on the topic. The COC also partnered with groups like the Pro-Canada Network to oppose Free Trade initiatives, and this ‘joining of forces’ is reflected in the records. A final sub-series includes COC posters and artwork, often over-sized, and used for a variety of purposes.
File titles were derived from original file titles.

Department of Elementary EducationThe Courts series consists of three subseries arranged by topic, based on supplied subject titles. Materials were created between 1949 and 2009. This series contains general information, research, and opinions on the professional conduct of lawyers, charges laid against lawyers, and Canadian bar association regulations. It also contains subseries detailing legal troubles and court cases facing Marguerite Ritchie’s brother Robert Ritchie and information on similar cases as well as legislation regarding custody and divorce. Two of Robert Ritchie’s legal cases were in family law, one over the custody of his children following his divorce, and the second over property division and investment mismanagement following a break up with his partner, Patricia Bishop. Mr. Ritchie ultimately lost custodial custody of his son despite his ex-wife breaking their custody agreement. Robert Ritchie also faced an ongoing legal battle over a product sold in his store called Perm-O-Seal after he was sued for patent/trademark infringement. This case was ultimately settled in Mr. Ritchie’s favour as the evidence was straightforward, however expensive court fees caused Mr. Ritchie financial trouble. Marguerite Ritchie felt that bias or baseless court cases were a serious problem within the legal profession.
