The school replaced the Grammar School that opened in 1856. The second school building was erected from 1923 to 1925 and has undergone five major additions since then in 1965, 1979, 1985, 2003, and 2013. The building as it stands today has 81 classrooms, two gymnasiums, a cafeteria, a learning commons/library, and numerous staff and maintenance areas.

Valley Heights Secondary School

Valley Heights Secondary School (in French, "L'École Secondaire Valley Heights") is a two-story rural high school located near Walsingham, Ontario, Canada. The official initials for this high school are VHSS. History Opened in 1971, Valley Heights sits on a property that spans 100 acres (400,000 m2) and includes fields, Carolinian forests, rivers and marshy areas. During the 2000–01 school year, approximately 700 students attended. However, a Roman Catholic school in Simcoe opened in 2001, which offered students more course choices (even though it was the closest to Simcoe Composite School). This, along with the elimination of grade thirteen in Ontario, resulted in a decrease in student population to 500. Mrs. Jody Hevesi ran the Hidden Valley Cafe, which has been a staple at Valley Heights Secondary School since its establishment in the year 2000. As a "healthy" school, energy drinks have been banned from the premises in September 2011 along with non-baked foods and breaded foods. A similar ban was enforced at school in Hove, England; where Headteacher Malvina Sanders states that "consuming high-energy drinks can have a detrimental impact on the ability of young people to concentrate in class." A roof fire occurred on July 25, 2012, on top of the gymnasium as a result of a botched roofing job. The school incurred $25,000 in overall damages, and the damaged areas were secured before the thunderstorms that occurred early the next morning. Repairs were officially completed on July 31, which did not affect any classes or activities that started in September 2012. VHSS has enhanced its academic programs to attract potential transfer students. Plans to close down Port Dover Composite School came into reality on the night of January 31, 2013. Campus This school is the only high school in the entire Haldimand-Norfolk-Brant region to receive top marks for stewardship of the environment, minimizing the waste of natural resources, and conserving energy for future generations of Valley Heights students. The idea was initiated in 2008 and deemed successful by 2011. Even though a sizeable number of students who attend Valley Heights are not Mennonites, the location of the school makes it ideal for Mennonites to attend, as it is adjacent to the farmland that their parents work on. Valley Heights Secondary School is partially powered by solar energy coming from solar panels installed in the immediate vicinity.

Varsity Arena

Varsity Arena is an indoor arena of the University of Toronto located at the "Varsity Centre & Arena", a sports complex on its St. George campus in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Opened on December 17, 1926, the arena is primarily home to the Toronto Varsity Blues men's and women's ice hockey teams. Varsity Arena also hosted the Toronto Toros of the WHA from 1973 to 1974 and the Toronto Planets of the RHI in 1993. It is located beside Varsity Stadium. Overview One of the first indoor arenas to be built without pillars in the seating area blocking the line of sight, Varsity Arena sat close to 4,800 in double wooden chairs at the time of its construction. It was designed by Professor T. R. Loudon along with architects Messers. Pearson and Darling and had an interior volume of 151,595 cubic metres (5,353,500 cu ft). Originally the floor under the ice surface consisted of iron pipes covered in sand. The seating capacity was reduced to 4,116 by renovations in 1985–86, which expanded the ice sheet to professional standards and eliminated fire code violations that had been found in 1977. The current gross floor area is 6,560.03 square metres (70,611.6 sq ft). It is also the home of the University of Toronto Intramural hockey league, which comprises (as of the Winter term of 2006) of 46 men's and eight women's teams of varying skill levels (from recreational to near-varsity calibre) competing in six men's and two women's divisions. Prior to 2009, the university also used the arena to host examinations. The first goal in the arena was scored by future NHL player Dave Trottier of the Varsity Grads in a two-period exhibition game against the Varsity Blues on opening night.

Versaterm

Versaterm Inc. is a Canadian company based in Ottawa, Ontario that develops computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems for police, fire, and other public safety agencies. Former Royal Canadian Mounted Police employees established the company in 1977; the group had previously developed the Canadian Police Information Centre, a national police database. Versaterm and its rival Niche Technologies, also based in Canada, have "cornered much of the market" for records management in North American police forces, according to The Globe and Mail. Despite its dominance, many of its systems have been criticised by officers for their unwieldiness and unreliability, and several police agencies have abandoned their use. Products CAD software Police agencies that have employed Versaterm's CAD system include Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, and Seattle. An inquiry by KXAN News into Austin's use of the system found that several critical hardware and software failures between 2008 and 2010 disabled the system for hours at a time, forcing operators to instead handwrite information when receiving emergency calls. Portland adopted Versaterm's system in 2011, at a cost of $14.5 million. Officers made hundreds of complaints in the months following the launch; reported problems included "system-wide crashes", incorrect dispatches to calls outside officers' jurisdictions, failures in tracking officers' locations, and issues with the font size and functionality of the user interface. Agencies were also irritated by the $2.5 million annual maintenance costs they were required to contribute, and, in a "near-mutiny", some considered not paying to employ the system, due to its reported problems. However, most of the issues had been fixed by 2013, and Portland defended the launch, pointing out that issues were to be expected in such a new system. Versaterm said "very few" of the reported problems were related to its software. Records management Versaterm's record management software has been used by police forces from Austin, British Columbia, Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle. References

Victoria Memorial Square

Victoria Memorial Square is a park and former cemetery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1793 as the burial place for those affiliated with the nearby Toronto Garrison (Fort York). It was the first cemetery to be used by European settlers in what would become the city of Toronto. Originally known as St. John's Square, the park today is part of Fort York National Historic Site, and the site of a monument to the War of 1812 sculpted by Walter Seymour Allward and completed in 1902. History The cemetery was established by Governor John Graves Simcoe and the first burial in the cemetery was his infant daughter Katherine (1793–1794). It served as the military cemetery for Toronto until 1863 and saw some 400 burials, including a number of victims of the War of 1812. When the Town of York was incorporated as the City of Toronto in 1834, its 'New Town' grid was extended from Peter Street to as far west as Garrison Creek creating the 'New Town Extension' with its curved Niagara Street, later extended a block closer to the Garrison Creek with Walnut Street. Victoria Square was one of four squares in the 'New Town Extension'; Clarence Square, McDonell Square and West Market Square were the others. McDonell Square became the site of St. Mary's Church and was renamed along with northern section of the roadway as Portugal Square in 1960. In the West Market Square, St. Andrew's Market was established to rival St. Lawrence Market in the 'Old Town' to the east. While the north half is now a city public works facility the southern portion is home to St. Andrew's Market and Playground a city parkette. The cemetery reached capacity in 1863 and was closed and largely abandoned. Over the decades, neglect and vandalism resulted in there today being only 17 surviving gravestones. In the late 19th century, it was turned into a public park and has served as such since. It was restored between 2009 and 2011. Led by the Wellington Place Neighbourhood Association and Toronto Councillor Adam Vaughan, restoration included regrading, and elements such as lighting, pathways, street furniture, trees and other plantings, and a playground.
