Grindstone Island (Ontario)

Grindstone Island is an 11-acre (4.5 ha) island in Big Rideau Lake, Ontario, Canada. History The island was used by Charles Kingsmill, the first Admiral of the Royal Canadian Navy, as his summer residence. The main lodge was built in the early 20th century around an earlier 19th-century structure. During the 1960s and 1970s, after ownership of the site had passed to Kingsmill's daughter Diana Kingsmill Wright, the island was used in a Quaker programme for training in nonviolence, and also as a co-operative conference centre. In August 1965, the island was the scene for a role-playing exercise — later referred to as "the Grindstone Experiment" — in nonviolent social defence. During the 1980s it hosted a summer camp for children. It is now used by Archives & Museum Informatics for seminars and meetings dealing with issues concerning culture and information technology. The summer camp in the 1980s was, and still is, an important part of the lives of many who attended. It was an accepting and diverse collection of kids mostly from Ontario in the Toronto to Ottawa corridor. Children played games such as the popcorn game and the survival game which taught them about the distribution of wealth and power in society and the natural world. References

Guelph Farmers' Market

The Guelph Farmers' Market in downtown Guelph dates to 1827 when the first Market House was built. The market has been at the corner of Gordon St and Waterloo Ave in what was previously a show horse barn since 1968. History The original Market House was erected in 1827 for the Canada Company whose Canadian Superintendent John Galt saw it as part of his vision to make Guelph the centre of Ontario’s farming industry. The location was determined, according to folklore, when Galt placed his hand, with fingers outstretched upon a tree stump and proclaimed that as his fingers radiated from his hand so too would the proposed streets of his new town. The building itself was a rather rough and primitive structure with a cottage roof, twelve sets of double posts of squared timber and open sides. The new Market Square also held an added benefit for the Canada Company; it created an increase in the land values for the area of which John had had the foresight to purchase before introducing his concept. In 1857, after five years of political fighting between the merchants, tradesmen, farmers, and town officials, a new stone Market House/Town Hall was built to accommodate the growing market, municipal government offices, and local fire and police services. The Farmers' Market remained at Market House until 1968. In 1968 the market moved to the Show Horse Barn, which was constructed in 1911 for the Provincial Winter Fair, while the Market House/Town Hall was rebuilt and re-purposed as the Guelph City Hall. Timeline Source: 1827 – John Galt breaks ground on construction of the original Market House 1857 – The Market House/Town Hall is built to replace the original Market House which needed more space. A portion of this new building was used by town council, the local fire department and the police. 1874 – An addition is added that includes a second floor concert hall but the main floor remained home to the market 1902 – A second addition is added to the Wilson Street side of the building to house cattle, a lecture room, boiler room and poultry area. 1911 - The Show Horse Barn is built as part of the Provincial Winter Fair that made its home in Guelph in 1889 1939 – Buildings used for the Provincial Winter Fair are taken over by the Military to house soldiers and carry out training exercises. 1968 – The Show Horse Barn, no longer needed when the Provincial Winter Fair moves to Toronto and becomes the Royal Winter Fair, becomes the new home of the Farmers Market when it moves from Market House which was rebuilt to become City Hall. 2022 - Local organization, 10C Shared Space begins managing and activating the Market on behalf of the City of Guelph.

Bluebell (1906 ship)

Bluebell was a ferry built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by Polson Iron Works for the Toronto Ferry Company. She was a steam-powered vessel, propelled by side-wheels. She ferried passengers between the Toronto mainland and the Toronto Islands. She was built in 1906, and acquired by the city in 1927 when its contract with the ferry company expired, and remained in service until 1955. She was converted to a scow in 1957, but sank on her first voyage after her relaunch. She was refloated several times before the hull was sunk as part of the Leslie Spit. Polson Iron Works finished a sister ship to Bluebell, Trillium, also named after a flower, which underwent a long restoration after being left to sink, and rot, in a lagoon at the Toronto Islands.

HTO Park

HTO Park (stylized as HTO) is an urban beach in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that opened in 2007. It is located west of Harbourfront Centre, on Lake Ontario. History The park is built on quays once used by ships berthing in Toronto's Inner Harbour. The park consists of two sections: HTO Park West is built on the eastern half of Maple Leaf Quay HTO Park East is built on the old Peter Street Slip The two quays are concrete man-made infill during the 1920s with the project completed by 1929. The eastern portion was home to Maple Leaf Mills Silos until 1983. The western half was home to a smaller industrial business with a small office structure. During the 1980s, a condo project (now known as Harbour Terrace) was built on part of Maple Leaf Quay while the rest stood empty as a parking lot. The eastern portion lay empty in the 1980s and 1990s. Name HTO is a play on H2O, the chemical formula for water, since "TO" is commonly used to refer to Toronto and it is a waterfront park. Design HTO Park was designed by landscape architecture firm Janet Rosenberg & Studio, Claude Cormier Architectes Paysagistes Inc. and Hariri Pontarini Architects. The park incorporates elements of a park, beach, and golf course. The park's standout feature is a sandpit that holds Muskoka chairs and enormous fixed yellow metal umbrellas. The umbrellas were designed to evoke the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. At night, the park knolls are illuminated by LED lights. In 2016, HTO Park was included in The Landscape Performance Series Case Study Briefs, a database of over 200 exemplary built projects with quantified environmental, economic and social benefits. Area HTO Park East is also home to the Toronto Fire Services Station (Marine Unit) 334 (built 2000), Toronto EMS Station 36.

Halton Hills Christian School

Halton Hills Christian School (HHCS) is an independent Christian school located in Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada. HHCS is a member of the Edvance Christian School Association. History In January 1957, a group of parents initiated plans to establish a Christian school. By October 1960, the school was incorporated as Georgetown District Christian School, and funds were gradually raised to purchase an eight-acre property for its location. The school was dedicated in 1965, with Psalm 111:10 chosen for the cornerstone: "For reverence of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." During its first school year, HHCS had three classrooms, 99 students, and three staff members. Since its opening, the school building has been expanded four times to accommodate a growing student population. A preschool program for four-year-old children was established in 1997. In the fall of 2008, the board and development committee initiated a rebranding process. In the spring of 2009, a new name and logo were presented and approved by the school membership. The school's name was officially changed in September 2009 from Georgetown District Christian School to Halton Hills Christian School. Academics The school offers courses in art, Bible, French, language arts, spelling, mathematics, social sciences, music, and physical education. Co-curricular Choirs regularly perform at local churches and nursing homes throughout the year. Students in grades 1–8 participate in a biennial science fair, with projects from grades 7 and 8 eligible for competition at the provincial level. Monthly chapels are held. In winter, the school engages in a food drive for the local food bank, collects items for Operation Christmas Child, and organizes a toy drive during the Christmas season. Annually, the school hosts a musical production to celebrate a Christian holiday, involving all students from preschool to grade 8. Harmony Preschool Harmony Preschool is affiliated with Halton Hills Christian School. The staff and students represent various Christian denominations. Arrowsmith Following the methods developed by Barbara Arrowsmith Young of Toronto, HHCS initiated a cognitive abilities class to support students with learning disabilities. Students at HHCS spend varying percentages of their school day in the Arrowsmith room—either 50%, 62%, or 74%—depending on their individual program. The classroom is staffed with two teachers trained in the Arrowsmith methodology, along with one teaching assistant to support classroom activities. Renovation Halton Hills Christian School renovated their school in 2013.

Hamilton Amateur Athletic Association Grounds

The Hamilton Amateur Athletic Association Grounds (also known as Hamilton AAA Grounds or HAAA) is a park located on the north side of Charlton Avenue West, between Locke Street South and Queen Street South, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The park served as home to the Hamilton Tigers from 1872 to 1949. Prior to 1949, the grounds hosted home games for McMaster Marauders football. In 1950, the Tigers amalgamated with the Hamilton Wildcats to create the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The new team became the permanent tenants of Civic Stadium (later Ivor Wynne Stadium), and played their home games there until 2012. The Tiger-Cats joined the Canadian Football League as an inaugural member in 1958. A plaque outlining much of the grounds' history (including information on the Grey Cup games played there) is located next to the main entrance on Charlton. The HAAA Grounds will be closed to the public during construction of park improvements beginning in Spring 2026. The project includes a new 200 m track, mini soccer field, basketball court, bouldering, junior and senior play structures, spray pad, and sun shelter.

Hamilton City Hall

Hamilton City Hall is the chief administrative building for the city of Hamilton. Located in the downtown core, it is an 8-storey building (34.0 m) at the corner of Main Street West and Bay Street South, across the street from the FirstOntario Concert Hall and the Art Gallery of Hamilton. It was officially opened on November 21, 1960. This international style of architecture was designed by architect Stanley Roscoe. Construction was carried out by the Pigott Construction Company, at a cost of 9.4 million dollars. History The municipal address of the building is 71 Main Street West. The street number was chosen carefully. Several buildings had been torn down to make way for the new City Hall, so city politicians of the day could choose any odd number between 55 and 105 as the address for the new building. They chose 71 to commemorate the number of years that the old City Hall on James Street North had been in use. Prior to making the decision to construct the new City Hall, council had considered annexing the Lister Block for offices and connecting it to the old City hall via an overhead, enclosed walkway spanning James Street North. In 2005, Hamilton City Council designated the building as a heritage structure. Among the listed heritage elements on the exterior are the Italian glass tile mosaics. Renovation project In May 2007, Hamilton City Council directed staff to proceed with the renovation of the building, and the launch phase of the project began in June 2008. Costs, designs and delivery of the project were approved by the council in October 2008, allowing pre-construction and initial renovation work to begin later that year. The project was expected to be complete by July 1, 2010. City Hall services began moving back to Hamilton City Hall in April, 2010.
