Flugplatz International Peace Garden

Der Flugplatz International Peace Garden (FAA-LID: S28) ist der nördlichste Flugplatz im US-Bundesstaat North Dakota. Der Flugplatz liegt östlich des International Peace Garden an der Grenze zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada. Eine Abfertigung von Flugzeugen der Allgemeinen Luftfahrt mit bis zu 15 Passagieren kann sowohl durch den kanadischen als auch den amerikanischen Grenzschutz erfolgen, beide unterhalten den regulären Grenzübergang am U.S. Highway 281/Manitoba Highway 10. Der Flugplatz umfasst 49 Hektar und verfügt über eine einzige Start- und Landebahn. Außer einigen Parkpositionen stehen keinerlei Einrichtungen zur Verfügung, Piloten müssen auch mit Hirschen auf der Start- und Landebahn rechnen. Rolle im Zweiten Weltkrieg In den ersten Jahren des Zweiten Weltkriegs besaß der Flugplatz eine besondere Rolle. Während der intensiven deutschen U-Boot Aktivitäten im Nordatlantik erlaubte Roosevelts Lend-Lease-Act vom 11. März 1941 die dringend benötigte Verlegung der Lockheed Hudsons und Lockheed Venturas aus den kalifornischen Fabriken an die kanadische Grenze, um als Verstärkung des kanadischen Küstenschutzes zu dienen. Jedoch konnten die Piloten des Air Transport Command Service nicht in Kanada einfliegen, daher landeten sie auf den grenznahen Landebahnen vor der kanadischen Grenze. In einer darauf folgenden Nacht- und Nebelaktion halfen freiwillige Bauern aus dem angrenzenden kanadischen Manitoba weiter. Sie zogen die Flugzeuge mit Pferdegespannen über die Grenze, wo diese am nächsten Morgen von der Royal Canadian Air Force zum Küstenschutz an der Nordatlantikküste übernommen wurden. Das International Peace Garden Airfield wurde somit Umschlagsort für Flugzeuge, die im Nordatlantik eingesetzt werden sollten. Service Von kanadischer Seite ist der Platz als Airport of Entry („AoE/15“ für die Allgemeine Luftfahrt mit bis zu 15 Reisende) klassifiziert und es sind dort Beamte der Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) verfügbar, womit hier eine Einreise aus dem Ausland nach Kanada möglich ist.

Grace Hospital (Winnipeg)

Grace Hospital is a regional hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The 250-bed hospital is located in the Crestview neighbourhood of St. James-Assiniboia. The hospital was founded on Ross Avenue in 1890 by the Salvation Army, as a rescue home for women and children. It was incorporated in 1904 as The Salvation Army Grace General Hospital, and was the first Salvation Army hospital to be incorporated in Canada. The hospital was not truly a general hospital until 1927, when it was expanded from a maternity hospital. The hospital was located on Ross Avenue until 1906 when a new building was erected at Preston Avenue and Arlington Street. The Arlington street location would be expanded and upgraded many times. The Arlington Street location was eventually replaced by a building in the St James area, for which construction began in 1964. The St James location officially opened in 1967. The old Arlington Street building was demolished in about 2015 and the Old Grace Housing Cooperative was built where it had been. The hospital was run by the Salvation Army until 2008, when ownership was transferred to the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Deanna Durbin, a Hollywood actress of the 1930s and 1940s, was born at Grace Hospital on 4 December 1921 as Edna Mae Durbin. She moved from Winnipeg to California, USA in 1923.

Inglis Grain Elevators National Historic Site

The Inglis elevator row is a row of five wooden grain elevators located alongside the former Canadian Pacific Railway track bed, in the village of Inglis, Manitoba, Canada. Because so many traditional country elevators have been demolished throughout Western Canada, the Inglis elevator row preserves rare examples of a formerly common sight from "the golden age of grain". In recognition of the elevators in Inglis being the last elevator row in Canada, they have been fully restored and protected as a National Historic Site of Canada. History and significance The arrival of the railroad in the smaller communities of Manitoba offered both risk and reward for villages. When the railroad reached Inglis in 1922, allowing grain from the area to reach distant markets, the nearby town of Asessippi was quickly abandoned. By the end of 1922, four of the five elevators in Inglis were already built, quickly followed by a number of shops and businesses. The Inglis row consists of five wood-crib elevators: N. M. Paterson Company elevator, built in 1922 using then-state of the art dust control systems. Reliance elevators, built by Matheson-Lindsay in 1922 as a single elevator. The elevator was then taken over by Province Elevator Co. later becoming Reliance Elevators in the 1930s. By 1941 a new "twin" elevator was added for more space. Manitoba Pool bought the elevators in 1952 and lastly sold to United Grain Growers in 1971. The elevators have since been fully restored back to their original signage as Reliance elevators. United grain growers elevator, originally built by United Grain Growers in 1922 but replaced after it was destroyed by fire in 1925. Annexes were added 1949. National elevator, built by the Northern Elevator Co. in 1922 later taken over by National in the 1940s and then Cargill and last Paterson Grain in 1979. The elevator has been completely restored as a gift shop. With the loss of wooden grain elevators across western Canada, the "Five Prairie Giants" of Inglis have become a popular tourist destination and were named one of Manitoba's top ten architectural icons.

Institute for Biodiagnostics

The National Research Council Institute for Biodiagnostics (NRC-IBD) is a research laboratory located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and operated by the National Research Council. It was established in 1992 to research and develop noninvasive medical diagnostic technologies to increase prospects for prevention, earlier diagnosis, improved treatment and prognosis of diseases. Located adjacent to the University of Winnipeg campus in downtown Winnipeg, NRC-IBD also has satellite institutes in Halifax and Calgary. NRC-IBD conducts its research in partnership with medical schools, universities, other research organizations, and industry. Its research projects fall into the following six programs: Cancer research; cardiovascular disease research; IT-based decision technology; medical photonics; MR research and technology development; and neuroscience research. Its impact on Winnipeg's economy amounts to $30 million a year. History Prior to the NRC, the site of the building was the location of St. Paul's College, which had occupied the former 1882 Manitoba College building since 1931. In July 1983, Member of Parliament Lloyd Axworthy announced that construction would soon begin on a $41-million National Research Council facility called "Science Place Canada," which would include an Institute for Manufacturing Technology. During the early stages of construction, however, following the change in government per the 1984 election, the new the administration of Brian Mulroney announced that the planned institute would be cut due to budgetary issues (particularly given the recession), though construction would continue. While the building opened in 1985, it did not have any major tenants for years to follow. (A small group of NRC employees located at the facility at the time were titled the Canadian Institute of Industrial Technology.) Finally, in 1992, the NRC established the Institute for Biodiagnostics, initially employing just 25 people. In 2005, the lab expanded to a second building of 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2), where the NRC Centre for the Commercialization of Biomedical Technology (NRC-CCBT) was established as an incubator facility for start-up firms in Manitoba in the field of life sciences. Major tenants include the International Centre for Infectious Diseases (ICID), Biomedical Commercialization Canada Inc. (BCC), Health Media Network, and Acrodex. In 2011 through 2012, federal budget cuts led to various layoffs of scientists and researchers at the NRC-IBD. Working to restructure the agency, the federal government announced its plans to close the building and sell it. References
