Toronto Zoo

Der Toronto Zoo ist ein zoologischer Garten in der kanadischen Stadt Toronto. Der Zoo liegt rund 20 Kilometer nordöstlich des Stadtzentrums am Rouge River, an dem auch der Rouge-Nationalpark liegt. Mit rund 5000 Tieren – inklusive der wirbellosen Tiere und Fische etwa 16.000 – auf einer Fläche von 287 Hektar und etwa 10 Kilometer Laufwegen gehört er zu den größten Zoos weltweit. Seine Fläche ist nach zoogeografischen Erdteilen gegliedert. Jährlich wird der Zoo in Toronto von annähernd 1,2 Millionen Menschen besucht. Geschichte Der Zoo geht auf eine Eröffnung im Jahr 1888 zurück. Sein ursprünglicher Name war Riverdale Zoo und stellte die Tiere in dunklen Käfigen in der Form einer Kuriositätenshow dar. 1963 kam zum ersten Mal die Idee auf, einen neuen Zoo zu erbauen. Elf Bürger gründeten daraufhin 1966 die Metropolitan Toronto Zoological Society. Ein Jahr später wurde der Rouge Park in Scarborough als möglicher Platz für einen neuen Zoo erwogen, so dass 1968 durch den Architekten Raymond Moriyama eine Machbarkeitsstudie erhoben wurde. 1970 begann der Bau des neuen Zoologischen Gartens, der am 15. August 1974 als Metropolitan Toronto Zoo für die Öffentlichkeit eröffnet wurde. Die ursprüngliche Fläche des ersten Parks 1888 betrug rund 3 Hektar und wurde 1978 in eine städtische Farm umgewandelt. 1976 eröffnete der Zoo eine 5,6 Kilometer Einschienenbahn namens Canadian Domain Ride, die allerdings 1994 infolge eines Unfalls mit 37 verletzten Besuchern wieder geschlossen wurde. 1980 und 1984 wurden dem Zoo neue Anlagen hinzugefügt mit einem Kinderzoo und Anlagen für Gaur, Afrikanische Elefanten, Schneeleoparden und einem Pavillon für indische Nashörner. 1985 wurden Qinn Qinn und Shayan gezeigt, ein Großer-Panda-Paar. Die Seltenheit dieser Tiere zog viele Besucher an, so dass alle vorhergehenden Besucherrekorde gebrochen wurden. Im Laufe der Jahre kamen weitere selten Tiere dazu, wie z. B. der Stumpfnasenaffen 1986, Koalas 1988 und 1996 und Weiße Löwen 1995. 2003 verzeichnete der Zoo aufgrund der SARS-Epidemie einen starken Besucherrückgang, von dem sich der Zoo nur sehr langsam erholte.

Zoo de Toronto

Le Zoo de Toronto (Toronto Zoo en anglais) est un parc zoologique canadien situé à Toronto, capitale de la province de l'Ontario. Fondé le 15 août 1974, il appartient à la ville de Toronto. Avant les fusions municipales de 1998, le zoo était connu sous le nom de Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. Il est situé à proximité de la rivière Rouge et du Parc de la Rouge. Le zoo occupe une superficie de 287 hectares. Il est divisé en sept régions géographiques : Indo-Malaisie, Afrique, Amériques, Canada, Australie, Eurasie et Toundra. Il fut le premier zoo à se séparer de cette manière et c’était perçu comme une approche révolutionnaire lors de son ouverture en 1974. On dénombre plus de 5 000 animaux représentant plus de 500 espèces. Histoire À partir de 1976, l'intérieur du zoo est desservi par une petite ligne automatique de métro sur pneus (surnommée « monorail »). Cette ligne a fermé en 1994, après un accident qui a fait 27 blessés. En 2015, deux bisons des bois sont nés au zoo grâce à une insémination artificielle avec du sperme congelé datant de 1980, c’est-à-dire 35 ans plus tôt.

Sandy Hollow landfill

The Sandy Hollow landfill, or Barrie landfill, is a landfill located near Barrie, Ontario in Canada. The landfill started receiving waste in the early 1960s and it has three cells (each with three sections). There is a leachate collection system, a system of pipes that catch drippings and water from the garbage and relays it to the city’s sanitary sewer system and Water Pollution Control Centre for treatment. The containment system also serves older areas of the landfill, which totals 18 hectares of the 121-hectare property. In 2008, Barrie started a $4.46-million project to help create more space in the landfill and extend Sandy Hollow's lifespan until 2024. The work involves removing more than 750,000 square feet (70,000 m2) of sand. The Barrie Landfill project encompassed one of the first dual layered synthetic liner landfill cells in Ontario, complete with a collection system for liquid flowing from the landfill called leachate, coupled with a purge well hydraulic barrier. The new cell will protect groundwater while giving the City up to a decade of new capacity at current infilling rates. References External links Landfill Information at City of Barrie website
Pat Stapleton Arena

The Pat Stapleton Arena is a 2,302 capacity arena in Sarnia, Ontario that is home to the Sarnia Legionnaires, one of the most successful teams in Canadian junior ice hockey history. Located at the corner of Wellington and Brock Streets, it is the largest arena owned by the city of Sarnia. It was built in 1948 and is currently home to the Legionnaires of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League, as well as minor hockey teams and minor hockey tournaments. The Legionnaires have won six championships and launched the careers of nine NHL players, including Hall of Famer Phil Esposito. Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley credits the Legionnaires with keeping the Pat Stapleton Arena alive. In fact, because the team drew such huge crowds in the 2008–09 season, city council decided to put in new seating, higher glass and to repair the roof. There had been talk of tearing the building down, but that disappeared after the '09 Legionnaires drew more than 50,000 fans to their games. While used primarily for ice hockey, it is also used for skating lessons, public skating sessions, the circus, high school graduation ceremonies, and other special events. Until McMorran Place in Port Huron, Michigan was built in 1960, it was the Blue Water region's primary concert venue. The Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League played at the arena briefly in the mid-1990s while the Progressive Auto Sales Arena (Formally the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre) was under construction. The arena was not large enough to host the OHL team permanently, and the Sting were only allowed to move to Sarnia on the condition that a new arena be built. In January 1957 the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL played an exhibition game at the Sarnia Arena against the Legionnaires. The Hawks won, but the Sarnia Jr. 'B' team got six goals. In 2021, the Sarnia Arena was renamed Pat Stapleton Arena after the late Pat Stapleton. External links The OHL Arena & Travel Guide - Sarnia Arena Sarnia Arena References

Sauble Falls Provincial Park

Sauble Falls Provincial Park is located in the town of South Bruce Peninsula, Bruce County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, 36 kilometres (22 mi) west of Owen Sound. It is in the lower drainage basin of the Sauble River, which flows into Lake Huron. The campground consists of two sections divided by County Road 13. The west section of the site is a quiet zone (no radios allowed). Group camping is available in the east section. Many sites along the east portion of the park back up against the Sauble River. The park is also the downstream terminus of the Rankin River canoe route. The eponymous Sauble River meanders around the east section of the park and flows down under the county road to the falls. The majority of the falls are actually rapids to which many people take day trips to play in. There is a section in which people jump from a drop off into a pool in the river. Also in certain years it is possible to slide down the falls if water levels are high enough. It is an operating park, requiring permits for day-use and overnight camping. Facilities include 152 car-accessible campsites, picnic shelter, playground, and docks. Services include interpretive and educational programs. History The former town of Sauble Falls was founded in 1864 to support the logging industry. In 1867, a lumber mill was built at the falls (destroyed in 1937). Eventually it had a general store, blacksmith shop, post office, school, and two churches. Between 1905 and 1907, the Sauble Falls Light and Power Company built a hydroelectric generating station and dam (which became part of Ontario Hydro in 1929). With the depletion of available lumber came the decline of the community. The mill ended operations in the late 1920s and the town site was gradually demolished in the 1950s. The park office and parts of the dam and power plant are the only town structures to remain. In 1957 the lands were acquired by the province from Ontario Hydro and from other owners. In 1960, Sauble Falls Provincial Park was established. Nearby attractions The park supports and complements other nearby tourism facilities and opportunities, such as summer attractions in Sauble Beach, a town with a fresh water beach at least 12 kilometres (7 mi) long.

Reserva Saugeen

A Reserva Saugeen (em inglês: Saugeen First Nation) é a reserva indígena dos Ojíbuas localizada ao longo do rio Saugeen e da Península Bruce em Ontário, Canadá. Criada no meio da década de 1970, a reserva Saugeen é o território pertencente à Nação Ojíbuas de Saugeen. Há outras seis nações indígenas que viveram, pescaram, caçaram e comercializaram no território dos Ojíbuas de Saugeen. As histórias dessas comunidades, desde o passado até o presente, são melhores conhecidas por seus próprios povos. A tradição oral faz com que essas histórias sejam passadas para as gerações seguintes.

Scarborough Civic Centre

The Scarborough Civic Centre is a civic centre located in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was designed by architect Raymond Moriyama during the development of Scarborough City Centre and initially opened as the city hall of the former borough of Scarborough by then mayor Albert Campbell and Queen Elizabeth II in 1973. The building served as the municipal office and office for the Scarborough Board of Education. Following the amalgamation of Toronto, Scarborough lost its city status and the civic centre became a secondary hub for the City of Toronto government. It is also home to the Scarborough Community Council and offices of the Toronto District School Board. The civic centre is adjacent to Albert Campbell Square. It is south of Scarborough Centre station and the Scarborough Town Centre shopping mall. Structure and surroundings The building is unique for the juxtaposition of two triangular-shaped, multiple split-level towers, which surround an open central area in the interior. Outside the Civic Centre on the north side is Albert Campbell Square, named after Albert Campbell, Scarborough's first mayor, with a waterfall and reflecting pool, used as a skating rink in winter. Sculptures are found on the southwest side of the building. The Hand of God, dedicated to Albert Campbell, depicts a man held up by a hand and is mounted on a mast; it is located south across Borough Drive. Gord Smith's Icarus portrays bronze folds assembled together to represent a pair of outstretched wings. Frank Faubert Forest, a wooded area south of the Civic Centre is named for Scarborough's last mayor, Frank Faubert. Inside the main hall is a rising series of polished metal unfolding tetrahedrons resembling birds rising toward the ceiling from the main-floor-level pond, designed by Toronto artist James Sutherland in 1972. In 2015, the Toronto Public Library opened the Scarborough Civic Centre branch, its 100th library branch. The Toronto Public Library Scarborough Civic Centre branch was designed by Toronto-based architecture firm LGA Architectural Partners with Philip H. Carter as planning consultant.

Scarecrow Island

Scarecrow Island is a small, 7-acre (0.03-km2) island in Lake Huron. It forms the southern limit of Thunder Bay and helps define the harbor of Alpena, Michigan. It is part of Sanborn Township, in Alpena County, Michigan. In recognition of Scarecrow Island's importance as a traditional nesting site for colonial waterbirds such as cormorants, herons, gulls, and terns, it received protection as one of eight islands in the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge in 1943. In 1970, it was designated as one of three islands in the Michigan Islands Wilderness. The island is administered as a satellite of the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge. Adjacent waters of Thunder Bay became part of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in 2000. Located off Hardwood Point, Scarecrow Island is situated in the center of a region rich in fish. A 2002 study conducted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service documented the occurrence of seven species of fish in the immediate vicinity of the island, with round whitefish, trout-perch, and lake chub predominating. Like many other islands in the Great Lakes, Scarecrow Island is a relict of the Wisconsin glacial period. A melting Ice Age glacier dumped a large quantity of rocks and gravel onto a gouged-out surface that became part of the bed of Lake Huron.
