MacKay United Church

MacKay United Church is a United Church of Canada church in the New Edinburgh neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The church is located at the intersection of 39 Dufferin and Mackay at the southwest corner of the Rideau Hall estate. MacKay's present minister is the Arnprior-born Reverend Peter Woods. History The church was founded in 1875 on land donated by William MacKinnon, grandson of Thomas McKay, and the founder of New Edinburgh and namesake of the church. The Romanesque Revival style building was constructed from 1909-1910. The church retains an alternate spelling of Thomas McKay’s surname. During McKay’s lifetime, surname spellings were not always standardized, and both “McKay” and “MacKay” appear in historical usage. The building was expanded in 1924 and the entire structure was demolished for a new building completed in 1910. It was originally called MacKay Presbyterian, but became MacKay United, on June 10, 1925. The building was given a Municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, Section 29.

Immeuble principal (Statistique Canada)

L'immeuble principal, ou ancien bâtiment du Bureau fédéral de la statistique, est un immeuble de bureaux du gouvernement fédéral de quatre étages situé dans le quartier du pré Tunney à Ottawa, en Ontario, au Canada. Il est relié au nord à l'édifice Jean-Talon et au sud à l'immeuble R.H.- Coats. La plupart de ses 1 700 occupants travaillent pour Statistique Canada. Les autres locataires comprennent Santé Canada, Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux Canada et SNC-Lavalin. Conçu par le cabinet montréalais de Ross, Patterson, Townsend et Heughan, le bâtiment a été achevé en 1952 alors que le Bureau fédéral de la statistique voyait croître le nombre de ses employés. À cette époque, le bâtiment principal n'était que l'un des deux bâtiments du pré Tunney, l'autre étant une chaufferie. Depuis 2005, l'édifice est inscrit comme édifice fédéral du patrimoine reconnu. Ces dernières années, le bâtiment a connu des problèmes structurels et environnementaux tels que des fuites d’eau et des pannes de courant.

Main Square (Toronto)

Main Square is a complex of four apartment buildings in Toronto, Canada. The three-hectare site houses about 2000 people. It is located in the eastern part of the city at the intersection of Main Street and Danforth Avenue. The complex is located just north of the railway lines and the Danforth GO Station and just south of the Main Street subway station. It consists of four towers, the tallest being 29 stories. At ground level, there is also a shopping plaza along Danforth and a city-run community centre. History The complex was built in 1972 in a joint venture with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), a government entity, and a private developer. It was built on land by the railroad that had previously belonged to the Canadian National Railway. By the mid-1980s, like many buildings built in that style and period, the complex already had a down and out appearance, with an empty concrete frontage and public space. All the shops in the plaza did not have doors opening directly on to Danforth, but were only accessible through doors leading into the complex. CMHC sold its share of the building in 1998, and it is now a fully private enterprise. Since 1998, there has been significant investment in improvements to the existing buildings. These improvements have occurred in stages and have included updates to the building facades, lobbies, halls and infrastructure (boilers, windows, elevators and roofs); improvements to the centre court and garage (reconstruction of the eastern section of the garage, repainting and additional landscaping). By the latter part of the 2000s, there was revitalization of the shops and services along Danforth Avenue, and conversion of vacant office and locker space into units providing better supervision of the open space around the building. In 2006, the city of Toronto rezoned the area, permitting the owner, Talisker Corporation, to build two more towers in the complex, thus adding 500 new rental housing units to the existing Main Square development, which will provide for appropriate residential intensification that is transit-accessible. As part of the proposal, both the existing and new rental buildings were to be secured as rental housing, along with the improvements to the existing buildings, the provision of new and refurbished amenity spaces and improved landscaped areas. The proposed development would also secure significant community benefits through a negotiated agreement under Section 37 of the Planning Act of the City of Toronto.

Mapleview Centre

Mapleview Centre, or simply Mapleview, is a two-story shopping mall located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is located at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Fairview Street, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). The name of the mall comes from the two streets in which it is located. It is owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge. The main anchor store formerly was Hudson's Bay (now closed), with one other vacant anchor space last occupied by Sears which would later be split into three anchor tenants, Decathlon which anchors the lower portion opened in Spring 2021 and a new wing with a Sporting Life and a Linen Chest on the upper level. Restaurants include Turtle Jack's Muskoka Grill and Earl's Kitchen and Bar. The mall opened in September 1990 under the management of Cambridge, anchored with The Bay and Simpsons. Less than a year later, Sears acquired on June 5, 1991 the Simpsons location from parent company Hudson's Bay Company to inaugurate its Mapleview store on August 14, 1991. This was actually a relocation of an existing Sears store with its employees from the nearby Burlington Mall. In parallel to this, Simpsons moved to Sears' former location in the Burlington Mall and was renamed to The Bay. The Bay store at Mapleview was not impacted by any of this. In late 2008 to 2010 the mall went through extensive $64,000,000 renovations. The contract was awarded to EllisDon. References External links Official website

Marchington Lake

Marchington Lake is a lake in the Hudson Bay drainage basin located near Sioux Lookout in the Kenora District of northwestern Ontario, Canada. Derived its name from John Samuels son William Marchington. William, who was a Parliamentary writer and later editor of Canada's national newspaper the 'Globe & Mail'. William also wrote for a couple of English newspapers. William had a golfing buddy who was a Cartographer, and as such he asked to use William's surname to name areas in the 'back country' of Ontario. Hydrology The lake lies roughly south-west to north-east, a distance of 22.5 km (14.0 mi). There are two major bays on the lake: Northeast Bay, which forms the north-east end, and McDougall Bay, which forms a large hook at the south-west corner. Another arm forms a 5 km (3.1 mi) spike leading south-east from Northeast Bay. The Marchington River flows into the lake at McDougall Bay and is also the outflow of the lake, at the south-west corner at McDougall Mills. The Sturgeon River is another main source, and flows into the lake at the spike-shaped arm at the south-eastern end. The North River flows into the middle of the lake on the north-west side. Other inflows are (clockwise from north-east) Watin Creek, Kinniwap Creek, Mall Creek, Martin Creek and Kee Creek. The Marchington River flows via the English River, the Winnipeg River and the Nelson River to Hudson Bay. Economy The CN transcontinental main line crosses the lake at its south-eastern arm near Robinson, travels inland, then continues along the south-west corner of the lake past Ghost River and McDougall Mills.

Mark's

Mark's (known as La Ouérasse and L'Équipeur since 1990 in Quebec) is a Canadian clothing and footwear retailer specializing in casual and industrial wear. Beginning in 1977 as Mark's Work Wearhouse in Calgary, Alberta, it evolved from an industrial accessories dealer to a men and women's casual and industrial wear retailer. The company operates over 380 stores across Canada and has been a subsidiary of Canadian Tire since 2002. History Mark Blumes, formerly a retail executive for the Hudson's Bay Company, opened Mark's Work Wearhouse in Calgary, Alberta, on August 14, 1977. The store was located in the southeast corner of Calgary, at Centre Street and Glenmore Trail. Following rapid expansion, the company became publicly traded in 1981, with an initial public offering worth $14,000,000. In 1995, the Board of Directors appointed Garth Mitchell as President and Chief Operating Officer of the company. Under Mitchell, the chain entered a new phase characterized by growth and acquisition. The 140 stores generated a revenue of $250 million in 1996, and the company acquired Work World, which increased revenues by $500 million in six years. Canadian Tire Corporation purchased Mark’s Work Wearhouse for $109 million in early 2002. At this time, Mark's Work Wearhouse operated 325 corporate and franchisee stores in Canada. The acquisition provided Mark’s Work Wearhouse with additional capital which allowed it to grow between 2001 and 2008 to 372 stores across Canada. Together, Mark’s Work Wearhouse and Canadian Tire created "combo stores" at 65 Canadian Tire locations. In 2012, the company rebranded as "Mark's" as part of a strategy to appeal to a wider customer base and reflect an expanded product assortment. In May 2018, Canadian Tire Corporation announced their purchase of Helly Hansen, a brand Mark's previously featured for over ten years. As of 2026, Mark's operates more than 380 stores across Canada. Products Mark's is an apparel and footwear retailer, selling men's and women's industrial, business, casual and active clothing and footwear, as well as a full line of health wear, including hospital scrubs, hygienic wear and accessories.

A variety of Mark’s footwear is CSA approved. References External links Media related to Mark's at Wikimedia Commons Official website
Market Village

Market Village was a 325,000-square-foot (30,200 m2) shopping mall in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1990 and expanded in 1995, the mall closed on March 1, 2018. History Market Village originally featured a "rustic" English main street theme upon its opening in 1990, however, due to being unpopular with customers, the mall was redeveloped and units within the mall eventually leased to individual entrepreneurs, and henceforth the mall acquired its nature of individual Chinese-Canadian businesses that eventually became the prototype of nearby Pacific Mall. Features The mall was composed of nine buildings, which incorporated a combination of indoor and outdoor pedestrian malls. Most stores in Market Village were family-run, though there were several non-Chinese retailers, and some stores with ties to Hong Kong. Major anchor stores included two Chinese supermarkets, branches of the Bank of Montreal and HSBC Bank and McDonald's. At its peak, there were 170 stores and businesses in Market Village; roughly 120 businesses were still in operation in 2014. Proposed expansion and closure On June 15, 2005, Pacific Mall and Market Village announced a 400,000 square foot (37,000 square meter) expansion that would add additional retail space, a luxury hotel, condominiums, and a multi-level parking structure. The expansion would see the entirety of Market Village be demolished and replaced with a new mall, the Remington Centre. The initial plan was endorsed by Markham City Council in 2011. The expansion has faced delays due to concerns over traffic congestion from nearby property owners, as well as a pending environmental assessment and transit study by the City of Toronto government. Prior to Market Village's impeding closure, only minimal maintenance and repairs were being done; many businesses closed or moved after store leases expired and were not renewed. Market Village announced in early 2017 that it would be hosting its final Chinese New Year celebration, and formally closed on March 1, 2018. Demolition of Market Village officially began in October 2018 with west wing of mall demolished in December 2018. Some retailers from the mall have moved north to Denison Centre, a smaller plaza located at Kennedy Road and Denison Street. In 2019, the whole mall has been demolished.

Markham Museum

Markham Museum (originally founded as The Markham District Historical Museum) is a 25-acre (10 ha) open-air museum located in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Opened in 1971 by the Markham District Historical Society with assistance from Markham-Unionville Lions Club and Town of Markham, the Museum used the former Mount Joy School and the surrounding 2 acres. Over time, heritage structures from the area were moved to the Museum, adding to the 23 surrounding acres of farmland later purchased by the Town of Markham that were slated for redevelopment. In 2011, a new collections storage and exhibition hall opened to the public and in 2019 it was officially named as the John Lunau Centre. Markham Museum offers a unique open-air experience with over 30 historic buildings, interactive exhibits, public and educational programs], and seasonal events like AppleFest and Scaryfest. The Museum takes pride in fostering community collaboration, offering programs and partnerships that bring people together to celebrate shared heritage and creativity. Regionally and nationally award-winning events and exhibitions mark the Museum's contribution to the community. Overview Over 30 historic buildings and three interactive gallery spaces showcase the heritage of the community, combining historical stories and contemporary voices. Tours of the historic buildings take visitors through different eras of Markham's history, ranging from domestic dwellings to artisan workshops to commercial spaces. The Christian K. Hoover House (c.1824) and the James Maxwell Log Cabin (c.1850) share the stories of local families through historical diorama while the Nathan Chapman Jr. House (c.1832) and the Burkholder House (c.1860) integrate exhibits and working studio space. The Cedar Grove Blacksmith Shop (c.1862), the Print Shop, and the Burkholder House are working studio spaces, in which trained artisans provide live demonstrations during special events like AppleFest and ScaryFest and for specialized programming. The Sawmill and the Cider Mill are two of the Museum's agricultural spaces that showcase older technologies; the Cider Mill is used during AppleFest to produce fresh apple cider from local apples. The Ninth Line Baptist Church (1848) is now a non-denominational building used for public programs, tours, and is available for venue rental. The Wilson Variety Hall (c.1875) was originally located in the heart of Markham Village and shares the story of a family retail business during the Victorian era. The Locust Hill Train Station (1936) was used by the Canadian Pacific Railway until 1969 and emphasizes the importance of transportation and commerce to the growth of hamlets and villages. In addition to three modern and interactive gallery spaces and over 30 historic buildings, the Markham Museum hosts seasonal events and festivals, offers programming for all ages and interests, and is available for venue rental of its many spaces and grounds.
