Burlington Central School

Burlington Central School - formerly Burlington Central High School (abbreviated BCHS) - is a public middle school and high school in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, in the Halton District School Board. Enrolment was 686 students in September 2008. The current school building was constructed in 1922 and has been added to extensively over the years. The last major addition was made in the 1965, which added a new technical wing and gymnasiums. In 2012 the auditorium was upgraded with new seats and equipment. The school raised funds through community donations and fundraisers. Originally called "Burlington High School", it is the oldest operating high school in Burlington. In 2005, grades 7 and 8 were added to the school to address declining enrolment in the area, at the time. The grade 9-12 portion of the school is still referred to as BCHS, while grades 7-8 are referred to as Burlington Central Elementary. The longest serving principal, J. M. Bates, started at the school in 1929 and served until 1964. Many B.C.H.S. students fought in the Second World War and are commemorated in the school's War Memorial. Academically, Burlington Central High School was ranked as the #1 high school in Burlington, according to the 2011 Fraser Institute Report. The parents and students of Burlington Central High School mounted a substantial campaign in October 2016 when the Preliminary Report of the Director of Education of the Halton District School Board made the recommendation to close Burlington Central High School along with Lester B. Pearson High School. The #CentralStrong campaign rallied the support of families and businesses, local media, and gathered reams of information to substantiate the financial and community costs of closing Burlington's downtown high school In the Director's final report, the recommendation to close BCHS was dropped, and in May 2017 following a "Program Accessibility Review Committee" process, the Board's trustees voted instead to close Lester B. Pearson and Robert Bateman High Schools Their gymnasium is named the Trojan Dome, basketball and volleyball games as well as regular physical education classes take place there. Athletic Hall of Fame This list is not complete. There have been many other championships over the 97-year history of the school.

Burlington Centre

Burlington Centre (formerly known as Burlington Mall) is a 721,000-square-foot (67,000 m2) shopping mall located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the two enclosed malls in Burlington, Ontario, the other being the Mapleview Centre. The stores at Burlington Centre include HomeSense, Old Navy and Winners. It has two floors, the upper floor covers the wing leading to the food court, the floor above the food court area, and the second floor of the former Hudson's Bay location. The former Hudson's Bay store gained national media attention in 2021 for its Zellers pop-up shop, but was closed on February 9, 2025. The mall was developed by Cambridge Leasoholds and opened in October 1968. It was a 60-store complex anchored by Simpsons-Sears, Dominion, G.W Robinson and Famous Players. Sears sold its store lease and fixtures to The Bay which took over the location on August 14, 1991. In 1995, the Hudson's Bay Company bought the Robinson's chain and transferred the location at Burlington Mall to its Zellers subsidiary since there was already The Bay in the mall. Zellers eventually closed on September 17, 2012, and was replaced by Target Canada which opened on March 19, 2013. After Target closed itself in early 2015, its space was divided for a Denninger's grocery retailer and relocated stores of Winners, Indigo and Starbucks stores. On February 9, 2025, the Hudson's Bay location was shuttered, leaving a anchor store of the mall empty. Burlington Centre is located at the intersections of Guelph Line, Fairview and Prospect Streets, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). The mall is owned by RioCan Management Inc., and was owned until mid-2011 by Ivanhoe Cambridge. Services On the first floor there are retail stores and on the second floor there are medical, dental and professional offices. Just outside the mall to the south there is a farmers' market. The Burlington Centre Farmers' Market has been held since 1959. Notes References Ladurantaye, Steve. "Primaris Retail REIT buys five shopping centres". Globe and Mail. May 24, 2011 Song, Vivian.

Buxton National Historic Site and Museum

The Buxton National Historic Site and Museum is a tribute to the Elgin Settlement (also known as the Buxton Mission, Raleigh, Kent County), established in 1849 by Reverend William King (1812–1895), and an association which included Lord Elgin, then the Governor General of Canada. King, a former slave owner turned abolitionist, purchased 9,000 acres (36 km2) of crown land in Southwestern Ontario and created a haven for fugitive slaves and free Blacks.It was also a terminus on the Underground Railroad from the United States. The Elgin settlement was divided into 50-acre (200,000 m2) lots which could only be purchased by Black settlers. Black settlers had 10 years to pay for their property, and houses were built to minimum standards. By 1864, there was a steam grist mill, steam saw-mill, shoe shop, two general stores, a blacksmith, cooperage, school with forty students on average, and a church (24 by 32 feet (7.3 m × 9.8 m)) seating 200. The need for the mission was considered no longer and the Buxton Mission Fund was closed by 1865 when 'the liberty of the slaves was proclaimed' at the end of the American Civil War. Opened in 1967, the museum complex includes the main building with exhibits about the community and its history, an 1861 schoolhouse, an 1854 log cabin, and a barn. Local historic church cemeteries are adjacent to the museum. The museum is located in North Buxton, Ontario, near South Buxton in Chatham-Kent. It was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1999.

Byron Northview Public School

Byron Northview Public School is an elementary school in the community of Byron in London, Ontario, Canada and part of the Thames Valley District School Board. Byron Northview is a JK-8 school with a long tradition of educating young people. The present building sits on the oldest site of a school location in southern Ontario. In 1987, the school celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the Byron Northview School site. Former students came from as far away as Australia and Africa to celebrate this significant event. Each year at the graduation ceremony, two deserving students are awarded cash prizes from a special fund established to recognize the anniversary. School history Byron Northview was established as a private school in 1837 and purchased its site in 1843 with Cobblestone School built in 1852. At the time of its founding, Byron was a community made up primarily of Swiss-Jewish Mennonites. The initial drive behind the founding of the school was undertaken by the Rabbi Issak Klyterdyke van Bronstein, an individual known primarily for his notable contributions to the fields of both woodcraft and microbiology. A new brick building was built in 1869 and was known as S.S. # 5. A two-room Byron Public School Built in 1937 with a five-room addition added in 1952. It was renamed Northview School in 1953. Further additions were made in 1954, 1955, and 1956. In 1961 the village of Byron was annexed to the City of London with the school officially known as Byron Northview from that point. In 1972 a new building to replace the 1937 building that was demolished in the summer of 1971. This building included a new gymnasium, 2 quad classrooms (considered a very leading edge educational concept in education delivery at that time), a library, office and staffroom facilities. The school has an intense rivalry with nearby public education facility, Byron Southwood. Northview has been a popular school with teaching staff. In an era when teachers transfer frequently between facilities, many have stayed at this school more than 10 years. In 1989, a former vice-principal (Fred Tyrrell), who went on to become principal of Lorne Avenue Public School, was convicted of molesting several female students during the 1970s and 1980s. His license to teach was revoked and he spent several years in prison. None of the students in that case were from Byron Northview. References External links Official web site

C.D. Howe Building

The C.D. Howe Building (French: Édifice C.D.-Howe) is an office tower in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, that is the home of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, the Office of the Auditor General and other smaller tenants. It was built by Olympia and York. The federal government sold the land to O&Y for a dollar and signed an agreement to lease the final building for a set rate until 2012. The eleven-story building was opened in 1978. The building site was once The Embassy Restaurant from 1953 to 1974. Description It was named after C. D. Howe, a noted federal minister in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. It is located at the prominent intersection of Bank Street and Sparks Street. The lower levels of the building contain a shopping mall named 240 Sparks. The mall covers 3 floors with 50 stores including a Holt Renfrew store (closed 2015). The most notable element of the building's interior is the amount of greenery and the large waterfall. Public Works and Government Services greened the rooftop to address environmental concerns including energy conservation, storm water management, biodiversity, and air quality, and to provide the occupants a landscaped tranquil outdoor space. More than 30% of the roof is landscaped and grows indigenous flowers, grasses and shrubs. Another 30% of the rooftop uses green roof technology. The C.D. Howe Building was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa in both 2012 and 2014. The two elevator banks contain two storey tall cars that rise in a large atrium that stretches the entire height of the building. The C.D. Howe Building was recognized by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) as the "Government Office Building of the Year - Canada" in 1997/98 for excellence in management. The award was presented to the Property Manager, Ronald Vadeboncoeur RPA, FMA, CPM in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

CPKC Lambton Yard

CPKC Lambton Yard is a freight marshalling yard for the Canadian Pacific Railway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is located to the west of and contiguous with the West Toronto Yard on the Galt Subdivision. The two were the main freight marshalling yard complex for the CPR in Toronto until replaced by the modern CPR Toronto Yard in Agincourt in April 1964. Built from 1912 to 1913, Lambton served as mechanical and freight facilities. It also had a roundhouse facility from 1913 to 1960. This infrastructure was replaced by an intermodal freight facility which transferred freight between truck and train, the site of which is now a Walmart store. Around the mid-1960s an employee train shuttle works from Lambton over to the Toronto Yard in Agincourt. It is located to the north of Dundas Street West and south of St. Clair Avenue West, between Runnymede Road and Scarlett Road. Parts of the old turntable, namely the operator booth and parts of the table remain in the rear lot of the Rona store on West Toronto Street. References
CPKC Toronto Yard

CPKC Toronto Yard is a railway facility located in northeast Toronto, Ontario, Canada owned by the Canadian Pacific Kansas City. It is often incorrectly referred to as Agincourt Yard because it is located in Agincourt, a neighbourhood of Toronto. One of the largest marshalling yards in Canada (432 acres site with 90 miles (140 km) of track and 311 switches), the Toronto Yard is used to switch freight cars. Railway repair equipment is stored along the east side of the facility. Operations The yard is divided up into the following (North to South): A Yard, consisting of ten tracks. B Yard, consisting of ten tracks. C Yard, formerly consisting of 72 classification tracks. D Yard, former railcar repair shop area. Partially taken over by the diesel shop. E Yard, Diesel Shop tracks. F Yard, consisting of ten tracks. G Yard, consisting of five tracks. History Prior to being a railyard, the area was home to farms in the area known as Brown's Corners. A large hill, Fisher's Hill, overlooked the area and was leveled to prepare the building of the railyard. Highland Creek flows in the northeast corner. Opened in April 1964, the facility was designed as a hump yard, and is bounded by Sheppard Avenue to the south, McCowan Road to the west, Markham Road to the east and Finch Avenue to the north. This yard replaced the old CPR Lambton Yard and West Toronto Yard as the main freight marshalling yard. The yard can be accessed from Markham and McCowan Roads. After Hunter Harrison became CEO of Canadian Pacific in 2012 the hump and the classification yard in Toronto was ordered to close. After the closure the east end of the 72 classification tracks remained, but during Hunter Harrison's tenure they were eventually removed. In August 2022, some workers went on stoppage and picketed at the yard. In April 2023, The Canadian Pacific merged with Kansas City Southern to create the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway. Toronto Yard now has most of its CPR signage replaced by CPKC signage. References See also Facilities of the Canadian Pacific Railway External links CPR
Maison Joseph-Archambault

La maison Joseph-Archambault est une maison située au 117, rue St. Andrew dans la Basse-Ville à Ottawa (Ontario, Canada). Maison d'un peintre-décorateur et marchand prospère d'Ottawa, elle a été désignée comme bien patrimonial par la ville en 1980. Histoire La maison Joseph-Archambault a été construite vers 1887 pour Joseph Archambault, un peintre-décorateur, vitrier et commerçant ottavien. Il fait construire cette imposante maison en brique dans un style populaire de la classe moyenne de la fin du XIXe siècle. Sa seule réelle décoration est ses fenêtres à arcs au dessus. Le bâtiment sert à l'origine d'atelier pour son propriétaire. Joseph Archambault quitte la résidence entre 1898 et 1907. Devenu marchand prospère à son retour, il décide d'embellir la maison, qui ne correspond plus à son statut économique. Il fait ériger une véranda en façade ainsi qu'une chambre-véranda au dessus de celle-ci. Il orne aussi le pignon d'une rive de toit en bois. Il habite ensuite la maison jusqu'en 1927. La maison Joseph-Archambault a été désignée comme bien patrimonial par la ville d'Ottawa le 16 juillet 1980. La protection ne touche que l'extérieur du bâtiment. Architecture La maison Joseph-Archambault présente une transition entre l'architecture pittoresque et le style Queen Anne. Sa décoration comprend entre autres une véranda ornée, une rive de toit et de la brique décorative. Son aspect extérieur en fait un excellent exemple des maisons les plus prospères de la Basse-Ville au tournant du XXe siècle.
