Commissioners Park (Ottawa)

Commissioners Park is a park in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It lies within the westernmost section of The Glebe, bounded by Dow's Lake, Preston Street, Carling Avenue and Dow's Lake Road. Throughout the warmer months it is a popular place for family walks. The National Capital Commission maintains the park and manages to keep flowers blooming there throughout the growing season. During the annual Canadian Tulip Festival, it is a major tulip viewing area with the highest concentration of tulips in the region numbering as many as 300,000. History 1945: Gift from HRH Juliana What is now known as the Canadian Tulip Festival at the park was originally a gift of 100,000 tulips given in 1945 by Crown Princess Juliana of the Netherlands, as she then was known, to mark Canada's contribution to the liberation of the Netherlands from the Nazi occupation and "as thanks to Ottawa for sheltering her family during the war." 2002: Man with Two Hats sculpture It features a sculpture Man with Two Hats by Henk Visch, commemorating the liberation of Holland by Canadian troops during World War II, which is identical to the National Canadian Liberation Monument in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. An explanatory plaque contains the following text: During the Second World War, Canadian soldiers played a crucial role in the liberation of the Netherlands. With the donation of this monument - an expression of joy and a celebration of freedom - the Netherlands pays lasting tribute to Canada. A statue identical to this one stands in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. The twin monuments symbolically link Canada and the Netherlands; though separated by an ocean, the two countries will forever be close friends. Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands unveiled the monument in Ottawa on May 11, 2002, and the other in Apeldoorn on May 2, 2000.

Parc des Commissaires

Le parc des Commissaires est un parc situé dans la partie la plus à l'ouest du quartier de la Glèbe de la ville d'Ottawa, en Ontario, au Canada. Il est délimité par le lac Dow, la rue Preston, l'avenue Carling et la route du lac Dow. C'est un endroit populaire pour les promenades en famille pendant les mois les plus chauds. La Commission de la capitale nationale entretient le parc et parvient à y maintenir la floraison des fleurs tout au long de la saison de croissance. Le parc est une zone d'observation majeure des tulipes pendant le Festival canadien des tulipes, avec la plus forte concentration de la région, soit jusqu'à 300 000. Histoire 1945 : don de SAR Juliana Un don de 100 000 tulipes offert en 1945 par la princesse héritière Juliana des Pays-Bas, comme on l'appelait alors, est à l'origine du Festival canadien des tulipes. Ce don visait à souligner la contribution du Canada à la libération des Pays-Bas de l'occupation nazie et remerciait « Ottawa pour avoir abrité sa famille pendant la guerre ». 2002 : sculpture de L'Homme aux deux chapeaux La parc présente une sculpture L'Homme aux deux chapeaux de Henk Visch (nl). Elle commémore la libération de la Hollande par les troupes canadiennes pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et est identique au Monument national de la libération du Canada (en) à Apeldoorn, aux Pays-Bas. Une plaque explicative contient le texte suivant : Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les soldats canadiens ont joué un rôle crucial dans la libération des Pays-Bas . Avec le don de ce monument – expression de joie et célébration de la liberté – les Pays-Bas rendent un hommage durable au Canada . Une statue identique à celle-ci se trouve à Apeldoorn aux Pays-Bas. Les monuments jumeaux relient symboliquement le Canada et les Pays-Bas ; bien que séparés par un océan, les deux pays resteront à jamais des amis proches. Son Altesse Royale la princesse Margriet des Pays-Bas a inauguré le monument à Ottawa le 11 mai 2002 et l'autre à Apeldoorn le 2 mai 2000.

Confederation Building (Ottawa)

The Confederation Building is an office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Located just west of the Parliament Buildings at Bank Street and Wellington Street, it is generally considered part of Parliament Hill. The "civil gothic" structure was designed by Richard Cotsman Wright and Thomas W. Fuller. Work on the Confederation Building began when the cornerstone was laid by the Governor General Lord Willingdon as part of the celebrations of Canada's Diamond Jubilee. The building originally housed workers in a number of departments, with the Department of Agriculture being the largest tenant. It is currently home to civil servants and to a number of MPs and ministers. Many Conservative, Liberal and NDP MPs have their offices there along with some junior cabinet members. In 1988, the federal government designated the structure as a Classified Federal Heritage Building. References External links Thomas W.

Здание Конфедерации

Здание Конфедерации (англ. Confederation Building, фр. Édifice de la Confédération) — здание в стиле неоготики в центре Оттавы, столицы Канады. Располагается к западу от здания Парламента Канады на углу Бэнк-стрит и Веллингтон-стрит, обычно считается частью Парламентского холма. Изначально участок земли, где сейчас располагаются Здание Конфедерации и Верховный суд Канады, был застроен жилыми домами и магазинами. Правительство экспроприировало участок для сооружения правительственных зданий. Спроектировал здание архитектор Кларенс Бёрритт, а сооружение продолжалось 4 года, с 1927 по 1931 г. Изначально в здании располагались ряд департаментов правительства, из которых крупнейшим было Министерство сельского хозяйства и продовольствия Канады. В настоящее время в здании располагаются как правительственные учреждения, так и кабинеты депутатов парламента, прежде всего консерваторов. Обсуждается возможность застройки пустого пространства между данным зданием и Дворцом правосудия.

Confederation Life Building

The Confederation Life Building, a seven-floor Romanesque Revival office building, is a historic structure in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Completed in 1892, it was designated a historic property by the City of Toronto under the Ontario Heritage Act on November 26, 1975. It is located at 2–14 Richmond Street East on the north side of Richmond Street East, extending from Yonge Street to Victoria Street. The building was once home to insurer Confederation Life, which launched a competition for designs for its new headquarters in May 1889. The winning entry came from architects Wilm Knox and John Elliot, whose firm Knox, Elliot and Jarvis had only been operating for a few years when it won design rights for the building. A fire gutted the top floor of the building and destroyed the roof in June 1981, but the structure survived and was restored for new tenants occupying the primary address at 20 Richmond Street East, with secondary addresses at 157 Yonge and 106 Victoria. At some point, a Rev. F.A. Robinson had an office in suite 447 where people could order copies of religious books, such as Revell’s printing of G. Campbell Morgan’s 1902 book, ‘’’A First Century Message To Twentieth Century Christians’’’. Notes Sources Arthur, Eric Ross; Otto, Stephen A. (1986). Toronto: No Mean City (3rd ed.).

Congregation B'nai Israel (St. Catharines)

Congregation B'nai Israel (Hebrew: בני ישראל) is a Conservative Jewish congregation located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is the only Conservative synagogue in the Niagara Region. Founded early in the twentieth century, its synagogue building completed in 1925 is among the oldest standing in Canada. History The congregation was established in 1907 and religious gatherings were held in various places. In 1917, a temporary synagogue was built. Shortly afterwards, an architectural firm was commissioned for a permanent synagogue. A friend of a congregation member had to buy the property as the landowners would not sell to Jews. Construction started in 1924 and was completed by 1925. The previous synagogue was then used as the residence for their rabbi. The congregation has been part of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism since 1981. In 1998, the congregation was sued for wrongful dismissal by a former rabbi, who was then compensated $130,000. In 2016, the synagogue was featured in an exhibit at the St. Catharines Museum. In 2024, the building became a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act. References External links Congregation B'nai Israel website
Congregation Knesseth Israel (Toronto)

Congregation Knesseth Israel, also known as the Junction Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its synagogue building is the oldest surviving in Toronto that is still in use, and was designated an Ontario Heritage site in 1984 under the Ontario Heritage Act. Located at 56 Maria Street, in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood, the congregation was established in 1909 by Jewish immigrants, largely from Russia and Poland. Services were originally held at a home at 303 Maria Street. In 1911, the tract of land on which the synagogue was built was purchased for $520 with construction beginning shortly thereafter. The Knesseth Israel Jewish Synagogue, Maria Street at Shipman Street, (1911) was designed by James Augustus Ellis (architect) of the firm Ellis and Connery. It was built with the bartered labour and donated funds of the founding members and their families. The building was dedicated on September 8, 1912, and services began in 1913. At its peak, in the 1920s, the temple served more than 200 Jewish residents in the neighbourhood, with the presence of the synagogue contributing to a dramatic rise in Jewish migrants to the neighbourhood. The building has a modest red brick facade with minimal ornamentation or detail. A double-side staircase leads to two heavy wooden doors. Circular windows on three sides of the building are divided into eighteen segments to symbolize the Hebrew word chai (life). Its interior is decorative and elegant in a traditional Eastern European style. The women's gallery on the top floor is a three-sided upper-level balcony. The lower level of the sanctuary has three sides of seating facing the centre. The ark housing the Torah scrolls is situated against the eastern wall. Many of the congregants were artisans, peddlers, shopkeepers or scrap and metal collectors while a large number of residents who were carpenters or cabinet makers found work at the nearby Heintzman & Co. piano factory on Keele Street. A number of these cabinet makers carved much of the synagogue's interior wooden architectural details. The synagogue's only rabbi was Mordechai Langner who served the congregation from 1924 until 1939. Subsequently, services were conducted by a cantor or congregants. Toronto's Jewish population migrated north after World War Two, resulting in the synagogue remaining largely closed except for holidays and special events since the 1950s. Nevertheless, it has a congregation of 80 full-time and 300 associate members most of whom grew up in the area or are descended from the founding members. Philanthropist and arts patron Joey Tanenbaum is the grandson of one of the synagogue's founders and attended services as a boy. He remains a member and funded the synagogue's restoration in the 1990s. The synagogue was used as a filming location for the 2017 movie It. In 1910, the congregation founded Lambton Hills Cemetery.

Connaught-Gebäude

Das Connaught-Gebäude (englisch Connaught Building, französisch Édifice Connaught) ist ein Verwaltungsgebäude des Bundes in der kanadischen Hauptstadt Ottawa. Die kanadische Steuerbehörde hat hier ihren Hauptsitz. Die Anlage ist seit 1990 als nationale historische Stätte klassifiziert, seit 1988 ist auch das Gebäude selbst als Baudenkmal von nationaler Bedeutung anerkannt. Lage und Beschreibung Das Connaught-Gebäude steht zwischen Mackenzie Avenue und Sussex Drive direkt neben der US-Botschaft im Stadtteil Lowertown. In der unmittelbaren Nähe befinden sich außerdem das Château Laurier, das Ehemalige Gebäude des Geological Survey of Canada (beides ebenfalls nationale historische Stätten) und der Major’s Hill Park. Es besitzt einen langgezogenen rechteckigen Grundriss und einen erhöhten Mittelteil mit Eingangsportalen zu beiden Straßenseiten. Die beiden Eingänge befinden sich auf unterschiedlichen Geschossen, da die Mackenzie Avenue auf einem höheren Niveau verläuft, als der Sussex Drive. Türmchen befinden sich an allen Ecken und die Fassade ist im Tudor-Revival-Stil gestaltet. Geschichte 1913 wurde der Bau begonnen. Gestaltet wurde es von David Ewart, dem Chefarchitekten für Bauvorhaben des Bundes zu jener Zeit. Es wurde von Anfang an von Finanzbehörden genutzt und nach Arthur, 1. Duke of Connaught and Strathearn benannt, der damals als Generalgouverneur von Kanada diente. Heute befindet sich hier der Hauptsitz der Canada Revenue Agency (französisch Agence du revenu du Canada). Sowohl der Behördenleiter als auch die zuständige Ministerin haben hier ihr Büro.

Connaught Building

The Connaught Building is a historic office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, owned by Public Services and Procurement Canada. It is located at 555 MacKenzie Avenue, just south of the United States Embassy. To the east, the building looks out on the Byward Market, and to the west is MacKenzie Avenue and Major's Hill Park. Today, it houses a portion of Headquarters operations for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The Minister and Commissioner of the CRA have offices in the building. History By the early 20th century, the Parliament Buildings were running out of space to house Canada's civil service and offices of the legislative branch of the government. The Tudor-Gothic structure was designed by chief architect David Ewart, who also did the similarly modified Norman style architecture of the Victoria Memorial Building of the Canadian Museum of Nature and the Royal Canadian Mint. Work began on the building in 1913, but the First World War and other problems intervened, greatly slowing construction. The building was completed in 1915 and first used as the Customs Examining Warehouse by the Canada Customs (then the country's customs and border security agency). The building was named after the Duke of Connaught, third son of Queen Victoria, who served as 10th Governor General of Canada from 1911 to 1916. It had one basement level and seven levels above ground. In 1971, the building underwent extensive renovation and two additional levels were created by building floors inside the high ceilings of the basement and ground floors. The building subsequently comprised two basement levels and eight above grade levels (on the Sussex Drive side). The third floor also exits to MacKenzie Avenue at street level. The Connaught Building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1990, on the basis that the building is a testament to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's commitment to the enhancement of architecture in Canada's capital, and as it is one of the best works of David Ewart. The building has been designated since 1988, as a "Federal Heritage Building" of "Classified" Status, the highest level of protection for federally owned buildings, primarily for its architectural significance.

Édifice Connaught

L'édifice Connaught est un immeuble à bureau qui est la propriété de Services publics et Approvisionnement Canada. Il est situé au 555 avenue MacKenzie, juste au sud de l'ambassade américaine. La façade est de l'édifice donne sur le marché By, alors que la façade ouest donne sur l'avenue MacKenzie et le parc Major's Hill. L'édifice sert de siège social à l'agence du revenu du Canada. Histoire Au tournant du XXe siècle, les édifices de la colline du Parlement commençaient à être à l’étroit pour héberger à la fois la fonction publique et les parlementaires. Cet édifice de style néo-Tudor et néo-gothique a été dessiné par l'architecte David Ewart, qui avait déjà construit le musée commémoratif Victoria et la Monnaie royale canadienne. La construction de l'édifice a débuté en 1913, mais le déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale et d'autres problèmes ont grandement ralenti la construction. Il a été complété en 1915 et il a servi au départ comme entrepôt pour la douane canadienne. Il a été nommé en l'honneur du duc de Connaught, troisième fils de la reine Victoria, qui a été gouverneur-général du Canada entre 1911 et 1916. L'édifice avait à l'origine un niveau au sous-sol et 7 niveaux hors-sol. En 1971, il a subi une vaste campagne de rénovation et deux niveaux furent ajoutés, un au sous-sol et un hors-sol, en profitant des hauts plafond du rez-de-chaussée et du sous-sol. L'édifice Connaught a été désigné lieu historique national du Canada en 1990 parce que l'édifice concrétise l'engagement de Wilfrid Laurier à embellir la capitale. Il est aussi considéré comme l'un des chefs-d’œuvre de David Ewart. Il a aussi été classé comme édifice fédéral du patrimoine, le plus haut niveau de protection patrimoniale pour une propriété du gouvernement fédéral.
