Connaught Square (Thunder Bay)

Connaught Square is a public park located in the north end of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is located directly east of Waverley Park across Algoma Street, formed by the conflux of Waverly Street and Red River Road. The square was originally named Gore Park, then renamed in 1936 for Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, after whom the former city of Port Arthur (originally Prince Arthur's Landing) was named. It covers a quarter of an acre, or 1,000 square metres. Contrary to its name is actually triangular. A cairn, built in 1925, at the eastern corner of the park describes its history, and behind it lies the Geodetic Survey of Canada's bench mark for Port Arthur. The bench mark states that it is located 677.7 feet (206.6 m) above mean sea level. Located in the centre of Connaught Square is the Centennial Shelter, a project built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Canada in 1967. During the Christmas season, the Knights of Columbus erect a nativity scene beneath the canopy, and a pine tree located just to the east is decorated with coloured lights.

Constitution Building

The Constitution Building was an eleven-story government office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It has since been reconstructed into student apartments under the new name Théo. Located at 305 Rideau Street at the corner of King Edward, the building was used by the Department of National Defence (DND).

While operating as a government office, amenities at the building included a cafeteria, barber shop and convenience store, all of which were accessible to the general public as well as employees of the building. The building was constructed in 1963 by the Bourque brothers and originally named the Bourque Memorial Building, in honour of their father and former Mayor of Ottawa Eddy Bourque. After significant renovations, the Constitution Building is, as of 2020, an all-inclusive student apartment building branded under the name Théo.

Corktown Footbridge

The Corktown Footbridge (French: Passerelle Corktown) is a pedestrian footbridge over the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The 70-metre (230 ft) bridge is located about 400 m (1,300 ft) south of the Laurier Avenue Bridge and connects the University of Ottawa campus with the Golden Triangle neighbourhood. It was opened on 21 September 2006. The bridge also connects the eastern and western sides of the Rideau Canal Pathway and has links to Colonel By Drive on its eastern side and to Queen Elizabeth Driveway and Somerset Street on its western side. The bridge's name refers to a series of shanties built along the "Deep Cut" section of the Rideau Canal during its construction. Many of the labourers living in Corktown came from County Cork in Ireland, giving it its name. The idea of a bridge between the University of Ottawa and the Golden Triangle dates back to the 1980s. It went through many years of review and feasibility studies with no success. The university and its students were strong supporters of the concept, saying that the bridge would provide students with easier access to retail on Elgin Street and would connect the Golden Triangle to uOttawa station. City councillors Diane Holmes and Clive Doucet also lobbied heavily for the construction of a bridge. Finally, in January 2005, the city council narrowly approved a $5 million bridge project. In spring of 2007, a naming committee was struck by councillors Diane Holmes and Georges Bédard, composed of stakeholders from communities on both sides of the bridge. The committee presented its report to a public meeting on May 29, 2007, where members of the public had an opportunity to express their preferred name from three shortlisted names: Somerset Footbridge, Charlotte Whitton Footbridge, and Corktown Footbridge. Public support for the "Corktown" name was overwhelming. The name was also promoted by groups such as the Ottawa District Labour Council, the Bytown Museum, and an ad-hoc group called "Friends of Corktown Bridge", which organized a cèilidh in advance of the public meeting. The formal ceremony to name the Corktown Footbridge was held on 11 September 2007 led by Mayor Larry O'Brien. The Corktown Footbridge has numerous love locks attached to its railing. In 2014, Professor Murat Saatcioglu of the University of Ottawa determined that there was no risk of structural collapse from the weight of the love locks attached to the railing of the bridge. In 2019 numerous of the love locks were removed due to "the amount, placement and clumping of locks," and that city staff routinely inspected the locks and removed damaged ones.

Passerelle Corktown

La Passerelle Corktown (anglais : Corktown footbridge) est une passerelle pour piétons et vélos qui enjambe le canal Rideau à Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. La passerelle de 70 mètres (230 pi) est situé à environ 400 m (1 300 pi) au sud du pont de l'avenue Laurier et relie le campus de l'Université d'Ottawa au quartier du Triangle d'or. Elle a été inaugurée le 21 septembre 2006. Le pont relie également les côtés est et ouest du sentier du canal Rideau. Il est relié à la promenade du Colonel-By sur son côté est et à la promenade de la Reine-Elizabeth et à la rue Somerset sur son côté ouest. Le nom du pont fait référence à une série de baraques construites le long de la section « Deep Cut » du canal Rideau lors de sa construction. De nombreux ouvriers vivant à Corktown venaient du comté de Cork en Irlande, ce qui lui a donné son nom. L’idée de construire un pont entre l’Université d’Ottawa et le Triangle d’or remonte aux années 1980. De nombreuses études ont été menées cours des années sans résultats. L'université et ses étudiants étaient de fervents partisans du concept, affirmant que le pont offrirait aux étudiants un accès plus facile aux commerces de la rue Elgin et relierait le Triangle d'or à la station uOttawa d'OC Transpo. Les conseillers municipaux Diane Holmes et Clive Doucet ont également exercé de fortes pressions en faveur de la construction d’un pont. Finalement, en janvier 2005, le conseil municipal a approuvé de justesse un projet de pont de 5 millions de dollars. Au printemps 2007, un comité de dénomination a été mis sur pied par les conseillers Diane Holmes et Georges Bédard, composé d'intervenants des communautés des deux côtés du pont. Le comité a présenté son rapport lors d'une réunion publique le 29 mai 2007, où les membres du public ont eu l'occasion d'exprimer leur nom préféré parmi trois noms présélectionnés : Somerset Footbridge, Charlotte Whitton Footbridge et Corktown Footbridge. Le soutien du public au nom « Corktown » a été écrasant. Le nom a également été promu par des groupes tels que le Conseil du travail du district d'Ottawa, le Musée Bytown et un groupe ad hoc appelé « Friends of Corktown Bridge », qui a organisé un cèilidh avant la réunion publique. La cérémonie officielle de baptême de la passerelle de Corktown a eu lieu le 11 septembre 2007, dirigée par le maire Larry O'Brien. La passerelle de Corktown possède de nombreux cadenas d'amour attachés à sa balustrade. En 2014, le professeur Murat Saatcioglu de l’ Université d’Ottawa a déterminé qu’il n’y avait aucun risque d’effondrement structurel dû au poids des cadenas d’amour attachés à la balustrade du pont. En 2019, de nombreux cadenas d'amour ont été retirés en raison de « la quantité, de l'emplacement et de l'agglutination des cadenas ». Le personnel de la ville a inspecte régulièrement les cadenas et retire ceux qui sont endommagés. . Références Portail des ponts Portail d’Ottawa

Cornwall Island (Ontario)

For alternative betydninger, se Cornwall Island. (Se også artikler, som begynder med Cornwall Island) Cornwall Island (Mohawk: Kawehno:ke) er en ø i floden Saint Lawrence umiddelbart syd for byen Cornwall. Øen ligger i provinsen Ontario i Canada, men den er også en del af Mohawk-reservatet Akwesasne, som også omfatter områder i den canadiske provins Quebec og delstaten New York i USA. Cornwall Island er knap 8 km lang i øst-vestlig retning og 1-2 km bred. Befolkningen på Cornwall Island inkl. flere andre mindre øer var på 1.487 i 2016. Cornway Island er forbundet til fastlandet med broen Three Nations Bridge, tidligere kaldet Seaway International Bridge. Det er egentlig to broer. Sydbroen fra 1958 går fra Cornway Island til New York mod syd, mens nordbroen fra 2014 går fra Cornwall Island til byen Cornwall mod nord. Det er en de mest benyttede grænseovergange mellem New York og Canada med over 2 millioner årlige krydsninger. Den canadiske grænsestation lå på øen indtil 2009 hvor den blev flyttet til Cornwall efter en strid med Akwesasne som modsatte sig bevæbnede canadiske grænsevagter på deres territorium. Besøgende fra USA til Cornwall Island befinder sig ulovligt på canadisk territorium hvis de ikke fortsætter til Cornwall til den canadiske grænsestation. Hvis man vender tilbage til den amerikanske grænsestation uden at have tjekket ind på den canadiske i Cornwall, står man til en bøde på 5.000 canadiske dollar og konfiskation af sit køretøj.

Craigleith Provincial Park

Craigleith Provincial Park was established in 1967 by Ontario Parks. It is a recreation-class provincial park created to help preserve historic oil shale beach. Craigleith Provincial Park is a small park located between Collingwood and Thornbury (10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Collingwood) on the southern shores of Georgian Bay. History The park was created by Regulation 245/67, Schedule 59 of the Provincial Parks Act in 1967. The province acquired two parcels of land along Highway 26 as well as lands along former railway line. Only lands north of Highway 26 became an active park. The park helps preserve a rare part of the Georgian Bay shoreline that is made-up of fractured plates of shale, containing 450 million year old fossils. There was a failed attempt in the mid 1800s to extract oil from the shale. This is commemorated by the Craigleith Shale Oil Works Historical Plaques in the park. Facilities Park Office The Park Office is located on Ontario Highway 26 near Blue Mountain ski resort. The park is open during the months of May to October. Campgrounds Main campground The campground has 172 campsites of which 66 have electric service. There is a comfort station and shower building including laundry facilities and flush toilets. Potable water taps are also found at various locations outside the Day Use area. All the campsites in the camping area are within easy walking distance of the beach. A children's adventure playground is located next to the shower building. Firewood is available for purchase at the gatehouse next to the Park Store. Day use The park is opened to day use and closed after 10pm daily after which only registered campers can remain overnight. Ecology Fractured oil shale plates on the shore contain invertebrate fossils 455 million years old. From 1859 to 1863 the Craigleith Shale Oil Works plant was opened by William Darley Pollard to the east of the park extracted bituminous oil shale. The process failed due inefficiency and the production closed shortly after 1863. The Craigleith Shale Oil Works Historical Plaques is located at the site. Reminders in the park brochures remind visitors not to take any shale as souvenirs as the act of doing so is illegal. Shipwreck The steamer Mary Ward, carrying coal oil, salt, and passengers from Sarnia to Collingwood, grounded off the shores of the park in 1872 after the captain mistook a tavern light for Collingwood harbour light. Eight people died and parts of the steamer are found near the site where it sank. Barrels of oil and pieces of furniture drifted to the Craigleith shore. In the winter when the bay froze over, men with horses salvaged what they could. See also List of Ontario provincial parks References External links Official website
