Trinity Anglican Church (Ottawa)

Trinity Anglican Church is an Anglican church in central Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. As of September 2024, the incumbent is Mark Whittall. History Establishment In January 1876, John Lewis, the Bishop of Ontario, asked T. W. Barry to call a special meeting of an ad hoc vestry. Henry O. Wood, John J. Smyth, W. J. Parry, and T. Garrett met in the Billings Bridge Temperance Hall, on the south bank of the Rideau River, just south of Ottawa, and moved to establish a new Church of England mission on the north bank of the river, to be called Trinity Church Mission. William Fleming held the first services of Trinity Church Mission at the Temperance Hall while the new church was being built. Trinity was the third Anglican parish established in central Ottawa after St. Alban's 1865, and St. Bartholomew's 1867. On 24 August 1879, H. B. Patton conducted the first service in a new log building. He served Trinity for three years. 20th century A Ladies' Guild was formed on May 16, 1916. Robert Turley served at Trinity from 1923 to 1944; he was the longest-serving incumbent at the church. A new Trinity Church was opened on Easter Day (4 April) 1926 with Bishop John Charles Roper as celebrant. The original log building was dismantled and reassembled as the Church of St. Thomas the Apostle on Churchill Avenue in the village of Sawmill Creek (now Alta Vista Drive). The original Trinity cornerstone was reversed and re-laid at St. Thomas by the Bishop on July 31, 1928, with a new inscription, "St. Thomas 1927" facing outwards. On Ash Wednesday (19 March) 1947, a fire devastated Trinity. The rebuilt church was opened on 29 September 1948. A new auditorium was opened on 6 May 1958; it was named Turley Hall after Robert Turley. 21st century Members of the church volunteer to serve Cornerstone, the Well, and the Centretown Churches Social Action Committee. Church members also founded and operate the Ottawa South Committee for Refugee Sponsorship. The church runs an Intentional Christian Community for young people. It is based at the house beside the church building. Notable people Wilfred H. Bradley became incumbent at Trinity in 1950, serving for 17 years. Bradley went on to become the first Archivist of the Diocese of Ottawa. References Bibliography External links Official website
St George's Church (Ottawa)

St George's Church is the parish for the English speaking Catholics in Westboro/West Wellington Village, within the city and archdiocese of Ottawa. The parish of St George was founded in 1923, its territory carved out of St Mary's Parish. It has become the home of Ottawa's growing Eritrean Catholic community. History George Prudhomme was the first pastor, and the parish was named for his patron saint. Starting on 30 September 1923, masses were celebrated at the Sisters of the Visitation Convent. The parish rented the convent chapel for a year until a new church was built. The convent remains as a heritage building. St George's foundations were laid in 1923. In 1924 the church bell was officially blessed. It was manufactured in Troy, New York and weighs 600 lbs. The church was officially inaugurated in 1924 by Joseph-Ménard Émard, Archbishop of Ottawa but it was not consecrated until 1998. In 2014, a large building project was finished with facilities including a new parish hall.

Black River Island

Black River Island is an island in Lake Huron. It is part of a series of shoals around the mouth of Black River and is 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) northeast of it. The island is included within the unincorporated community of Black River in Alcona Township, Michigan. The uninhabited rocky island is about 1,000 feet (305 m) long. Its area is less than 1 acre (0.4 ha) and varies with lake levels. The shoals in the area are a boating hazard. The schooner William H. Rounds, carrying a load of coal, ran aground on the island in May 1905 and was destroyed. Further south the tugboat Loretta, carrying a load of chain, broke its propeller and caught fire in October 1896. The Ishpeming, a schooner carrying a load of coal, ran aground in November 1903. It was scrapped and abandoned. These are marked by buoys. In the past, owners of the island have shown interest in selling it to wildlife organizations. The island is approximately 7 miles south of Scarecrow Island which is part of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge. References

Sutton Place Hotel Toronto

The Sutton Place Hotel Toronto was a Canadian luxury hotel located in Toronto, Ontario. History Between 1967 and 2012, the Sutton Place Hotel was located at the intersection of Bay Street and Wellesley Street. An example of Brutalist architecture, the building was developed by Max Tanenbaum, the founder of York Steel, and the lawyer David Dennis. The architectural firm Webb Zerafa and Menkès (now WZMH Architects) – the descendant of Peter Dickinson Associates – designed the building, which along with the hotel included luxury apartments on the upper floors. The design echoed the Southland Center in Dallas, which was also a monolith that featured a large block-letter name at the top. Floors 1-10 served as the hotel, floors 11-32 as private apartments. The 32nd and top floor, which was numbered 33 due to the exclusion of a 13th floor, offered panoramic views of the city through the restaurant Stop 33, which featured a starlight ceiling and tall windows. Also included in the structure were two pools, a pub, a banquet hall and an office building. The lobby featured a mural painted by Shirley Tattersfield depicting Canada's history, a tribute to the country's centennial that year. At the time of its opening, Sutton Place was the tallest building in Toronto north of Queen Street. During its time Sutton Place hosted numerous celebrities and was a major destination for actors during the annual Toronto International Film Festival. Notable guests included Pierre Trudeau, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Stevie Nicks and Ted Danson. In 1967, the vibraphonist Hagood Hardy recorded the album Stop 33 in the lounge of the same name, where his band had a residency. Three months after it opened, the stock promoter Myer Rush was seriously injured by a bomb planted in the bed of the 6th-floor room where he was staying. Myer had been due in court the next morning to face charges in an alleged $100 million stock fraud. Redevelopment The building itself was sold to a Hong Kong-based ownership group in 1993. It was purchased in the early 2010s by Lanterra Developments. The hotel officially closed on 15 June 2012, forty-five years after opening. All contents of the hotel were sold at auction in 2014. In 2013, the redevelopment plan faced opposition from most of the tenants in the 161 rental units. In late 2015, the building was gutted, several stories were added, and work began on converting the existing frame into a new condominium tower called The Britt, completed in 2019, which contains 727 residential units, 78 of which are rental units. Return of Sutton Place brand The King Blue Hotel Toronto at 355 King Street West was purchased by Northland Properties in 2021 and renamed Sutton Place Toronto in 2023. The Sutton Place Hotels also manages hotel properties in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Revelstoke, British Columbia and Vancouver, British Columbia (The Sutton Place).

Vortex (Canada’s Wonderland)

Vortex in Canada’s Wonderland (Vaughan, Ontario, Kanada) ist eine Suspended-Stahlachterbahn vom Modell Suspended Coaster des Herstellers Arrow Dynamics, die am 12. Mai 1991 eröffnet wurde. Zurzeit ist sie, zusammen mit Ninja in Six Flags Magic Mountain, die schnellste Suspended-Achterbahn. Der Streckenverlauf passt sich dem Gelände an. Dazu werden die Züge 27,7 m auf einen Berg hochgezogen. Bei der 25,9 m hohen Abfahrt, auf der die Züge eine Geschwindigkeit von 88,5 km/h erreichen, und in den Kurven schwingen die einzelnen Wagen zur Seite aus. Züge Pro Zug besitzt Vortex sechs Wagen. In jedem Wagen können vier Personen (zwei Reihen à zwei Personen) Platz nehmen. Die Fahrgäste müssen mindestens 1,22 m groß sein, um mitfahren zu dürfen. Als Rückhaltesystem kommen Schulterbügel zum Einsatz. In der 2005er-Saison fuhren die Züge nur mit fünf Wagen.

Vortex (Canada's Wonderland)

Vortex is a suspended roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It officially opened during the 1991 season. As with other suspended roller coasters, Vortex's trains swing under the track. On Vortex, riders are taken up through the top of the mountain and dropped at high speeds. At some points in the ride, the trains swing just above a river running through the middle of the park, giving riders the illusion that the train will touch the water. It is the fastest roller coaster of its kind in the world, together with Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain, both with top speeds of 89 kilometres per hour (55 mph). It is also the tallest currently operating suspended coaster in the world, reaching a height of 27.8 metres (91 ft). It is considered to be a terrain coaster due to the influences of the ride track by the mountain and the river. Ride experience Like other suspended roller coasters, the ride's trains are able to swing side to side. The train climbs the 30-metre (98 ft) lift hill immediately after departing the loading station. The lift takes riders up to the top of Wonder Mountain. Upon cresting the lift, the train slowly turns to the right adding to the suspense of the upcoming drop. After passing beneath AlpenFury's double-inverting top hat, the train then quickly dives off the side of the mountain, passing under the track of Wonder Mountain's Guardian and AlpenFury's zero-g roll. The train then sweeps to the right and climbs up the "fan-turn" element of the ride that flies over guests on the midway. The track then sweeps back down over the grass and above the river, swooping left and right at 89 km/h (55 mph). The train dives into a downward helix, which swings only a few feet above the surface of the water and wraps around Yukon Striker's first drop. Upon returning to the station, the train swoops left and right a few times more until it charges into the brake run. The immense swinging force as the train enters the brake run causes the cars to swing even after the train stops moving. The ride then turns right back into the station. Similar rides The Bat (formerly Top Gun & Flight Deck) was built in 1993 at Wonderland's sister park Kings Island. It has a near identical layout to Vortex, but there are notable differences. They include speed and height variances and the addition of another car to each train, allowing for 28 passengers per train as opposed to 24.

Црква Светог архиђакона Стефана у Отави

Српска православна црква Светог архиђакона Стефана је православни храм у Отави, главном граду Канаде. Црква припада Епархији канадској Српске православне цркве. Поред Отаве, парохији припадају и град Гатино, као и околна места. Историја Парохија Светог Стефана је основана 1976. године са благословом блаженопочившег Епископа источно-америчког и канадског г. Саве. Први администратор је био блаженопочивши отац Крсто Рикић, који је парохију опслуживао из Монтреала у току неколико периода између 1976. и 1995. године. Први стални свештеник је био отац Жарко Мирковић од 1995. до 2001. године. За време његовог службовања тадашња зграда је добила изглед цркве, са иконостасом и олтаром. Изградња нове цркве почиње 2008. године, за време пароха Александра Гујаничића (постављен 2005. године). Нова црква је фузија византијског стила и Рашке школе 14. века. На врху цркве су две куполе са по једним позлаћеним светосавским крстом. Прва служба у цркви на новој локацији је одржана 8. јуна 2014. године. На новој локацији постоји и српски духовни и културни центар. Културне активности У оквиру црквено-школске општине делују подорганизације: Коло српских сестара „Света Петка”, српска школа и фолклорна група „Коло”. Добро посећен, и то не само од српских Канађана, је годишњи Српски фестивал, који се одржава почетком сваког септембра у време канадског Празника рада.

Вимийский мемориал

Вими́йский мемориа́л (фр. Mémorial de Vimy) — крупнейший канадский памятник жертвам Первой мировой войны, воздвигнутый в память о канадских солдатах, погибших во Франции во время этой войны. Он напоминает о роли канадцев в ходе войны в виде каменных фигур, символизирующих отстаиваемые ценности и понесённые потери. Мемориал расположен в основном на территории Живанши-ан-Гоэль и частично в соседних коммунах Нёвиль-Сен-Вааст и Вими, на вершине высоты 145. Это произведение искусства устанавливалось с 1925 по 1936 год на месте битвы при Вими по проекту канадских художников. Место для сооружения мемориала было выбрано Канадской комиссией по военным памятникам под председательством Сидни Мьюберна. Два пилона, представляющие Канаду и Францию, на 40 метров возвышаются над основанием памятника. Принимая во внимание высоту местности, наиболее высоко расположенная фигура — аллегория мира — находится на высоте 110 метров над уровнем Ланской равнины. Встав перед памятником, можно наблюдать статую женщины, покрытой вуалью, повёрнутой на восток — к заре нового дня. Она представляет собой Канаду, молодую нацию, оплакивающую своих сынов, павших в бою. Гребень Вими засажен лесом, каждое дерево в котором было посажено канадцем и символизирует жертву солдат. Памятник построен из редкого белого брачского камня, который был выбран Уолтером Олвардом и единственный известный карьер которого расположен на острове Брач в Хорватии. Распад федеративного югославского государства в 1990 году позволил вновь открыть этот карьер и в 2007 отреставрировать памятник. Этим камнем и облицована бетонная конструкция. Громкая канадская победа в сражении при Вими — основополагающее событие для канадского народа. Площадка для основания мемориала и сотня гектаров вокруг неё были переданы Францией Канаде в 1922 году в знак признательности за жертвы, принесённые более чем 66 тысяч канадцев в ходе Первой мировой войны, и особенно за победу, одержанную канадскими войсками при завоевании гребня Вими в апреле 1917 года. Памятник находится в ведении канадского министерства по делам ветеранов. Вимийский мемориал недавно[когда?] был отремонтирован. Его второе открытие королевой Канады Елизаветой II состоялось 7 апреля 2007 года, за два дня до 90-й годовщины этой битвы. В 2002 году Королевский канадский монетный двор выпустил 5-центовую серебряную монету в ознаменование 85-й годовщины битвы. Сооружение Вимийского мемориала стало темой романа The Stone Carvers (2001) канадской писательницы Джейн Уркхарт.

Westin Harbour Castle Hotel

The Westin Harbour Castle Toronto is a large hotel opened in 1975 on the waterfront of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Westin Hotels chain within Marriott International. History The hotel was built by the Campeau Corporation, after Canadian real estate tycoon Robert Campeau was given permission by the city of Toronto in 1972 to turn industrial land on the city's waterfront into a 30-acre residential and commercial development. The 38-story twin-towered 963-room hotel opened in April 1975 as the Harbour Castle Hotel. Cut off from the city by the Gardiner Expressway, the hotel was at first unsuccessful, with an occupancy rate of only 46.2% in its first year and an even lower rate in its second. Hilton International assumed management in 1977, and the hotel was renamed the Toronto Hilton Harbour Castle. Hong Kong business magnate Li Ka-Shing purchased the hotel from Campeau in 1981. In a complicated management swap in 1987, Hilton Hotels traded operation of the property for the Westin Hotel on University Avenue. The Harbour Castle became the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel, while the former Westin became the Hilton Toronto. Li sold the property to Westin Hotels in 1990. Westin sold the hotel to the Public Sector Pension Investment Board in 2005, as part of a portfolio of five Canadian Westin hotels in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa. PSP resold the five hotels to Starwood Capital Group in 2013 for CA$765 Million, at which point the Harbour Castle was valued in land registry documents at CA$146 million. Starwood Capital put the Harbour Castle up for sale in January 2016. When they sold their remaining Canadian Westin properties in 2018, it was reported that the Harbour Castle had sold for nearly CA$400 million. Facilities The twin-towered 34-storey building sits along Toronto Harbour and now offers 977 rooms after a renovation in 2025. The hotel features three restaurants, including The Mizzen, The Chartroom BAr & Lounge and the acclaimed michelin-star italian restaurant, Don Alfonso 1890. The hotel also features a grab-and-go Harbour coffee bar, and Savoury, a private chef's table dining experience. A convention centre building is attached to the hotel on the north side of Queens Quay and is accessible via an elevated glass walkway. The convention centre offers 31 rooms, including the 24,990 square feet (2,322 m2) Metropolitan Ballroom. The hotel is also connected to Harbour Square condos with a glass walkway. The hotel is located along the Yonge Street slip and shares space with the semi-retired island ferry Trillium and is adjacent to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. The Westin Harbour Castle Hotel has been used for several ceremonies, including the presenting of the 32nd Genie Awards. References External links The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto official website
