Shoal Tower

Shoal Tower, originally known as Victoria Tower, is a Martello tower located in the harbour (Confederation Basin) of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, directly opposite Kingston City Hall. It is one of four such towers built in the 1840s to protect Kingston's harbour and the entrance to the Rideau Canal. Cathcart Tower on Cedar Island, Shoal Tower in the Confederation Basin, Fort Frederick on the grounds of the Royal Military College of Canada, and Murney Tower were part of the same strategic improvements. Although 16 Martello towers were built in Canada, only 11 are still standing, four of them in Kingston. Built in 1847, this limestone tower is 11 m high and 16.5 m in diameter. The guns of Shoal Tower defended the approaches of Kingston Harbour. A dispute between Great Britain and the United States over the boundary between British Columbia and Oregon that threatened to lead to war and to the invasion of Canada (see Oregon crisis) prompted their construction. Eventually Shoal Tower was abandoned. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1930, and is part of the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site.

Shockwave (Canada's Wonderland)

Shockwave is a Top Scan ride at Canada's Wonderland. The Mondial ride opened to the public in May 2001 and continues to operate today. The ride spins around on an angle while guests (while restrained on the seats) are spun around on almost every possible angle the ride operates on. Also, during the first season of operation (2001), Shockwave earned many different nicknames such as 'Protein Spill 2001'. Structure Shockwave is made up of four main pieces. The first one are the supports. They move the riders seats high into the air to prevent the ride from hitting the ground and causing injury to riders. The second part is the arm. It is what is connected to the supports and holds the rows where riders sit in. Because the arm is always on an angle, weights are placed on the top of the arm (opposite to the seats) to balance the weight of the front of the ride to the back. The third part are the rows of seats themselves. This is where riders sit for the ride. When the ride is in operation, the rows of seats are "thrown" around and "throw" riders on every possible angle the ride can operate on. Ride experience The ride begins by the seats raising off the ground to prevent injury when the ride begins spinning. Once the ride has reached the safe distance off of the ground, the arm begins to swing riders around in one direction. Riders continue to be spun around until the half-way point on the ride where the arm stops and begins to spin again this time towards the other direction. When the ride cycle has been completed, the arm stops rotating and the seats are returned to the ground ("loading position").

Short Hills Provincial Park

Short Hills Provincial Park is a provincial park located in the centre of the Niagara Peninsula, bordering the city of St. Catharines and the town of Pelham in the Niagara Region in southern Ontario, Canada. It occupies an area of 660 hectares (1,600 acres). It also borders the new vineyard sub-appellation called the Short Hills Bench. Located on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment, the park is a jumble of small but steep hills ("short hills") and valleys created by the last ice age. The effect was only compounded when the Twelve Mile Creek cut through the sedimentary deposits and glacial till. Wildlife inhabiting the park include white-tailed deer, coyote, and meadow vole. Being at the north end of the Carolinian zone, many plants grow here that do not grow or are rarely found in other parts of Canada, including pawpaw, sweet chestnut and tulip-tree. The only park of its scale in Niagara, Short Hills Provincial Park is a prime destination for residents of nearby cities, especially St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Popular activities include hiking, horseback riding, fishing and mountain biking. The park contains six-side trails including the Bruce Trail and several waterfalls, it has a nice mix of both dense forests and open meadows, with meandering creeks and gentle hills that offer good hiking conditions.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park

Sibbald Point Provincial Park is a provincial park located in Sutton West, Ontario, Canada on the southern shores of Lake Simcoe, 70 kilometres (43 mi) north of Toronto. The park is located to the east of the vacation town of Jackson's Point, and The Briars Resort and Country Club which was still owned by the Sibbald family until it was sold in 2017. Sibbald Point Provincial Park has long sand beaches, sunny and shaded campsites, large grassy picnic areas and a forested hiking trail. The Sibbald family sold the property in 1951 to the County of York and it was open as a County Park until 1956 when the County conveyed it to the Province. The property was then renamed as Sibbald Point Provincial Park and opened in 1957. Two of the major attractions in the park were constructed by the Sibbald family during the nineteenth century. The family home was purchased by Susan Sibbald from Major William Kingdom Rains in 1835. She supervised its transformation from a small cottage into a rural estate, a process which was completed in the 1840s. She named the structure Eildon Hall after the family estate in Scotland. Today the building serves as a museum dedicated to life in rural Ontario during the mid-nineteenth century. The museum is also known as the Sibbald Memorial Museum. An Ontario Historical Plaque was erected by the province to commemorate Eildon Hall's role in Ontario's heritage. Another important structure located adjacent to the park is St. George's Anglican Church. The church was built by Susan Sibbald's sons to replace an existing small wooden church, and was dedicated as a memorial to her. Completed in 1877, it ministers to the community to this day. Attached to the church is a small cemetery which contains the graves of many prominent citizens of the Lake Simcoe area including writers Stephen Leacock and Mazo de la Roche as well as musician Jim Schwalm. The park has camping facilities that are booked via Ontario Parks website. References External links Official website Photo and information about Sibbald Memorial Museum

Silverthorn Collegiate Institute

Das Silverthorn Collegiate Institute (SCI, Silverthorn) ist eine High School im West End von Toronto, Ontario, Kanada. Es steht unter Aufsicht des Toronto District School Board (dem Nachfolger des ehemaligen Etobicoke Board of Education). Der Name kommt von „The Silverthorn Woods“ oder „Silverthorn Bush“, welche die Grenze im Süden und Westen darstellen. Die nördliche Grenze war lokal als „The Silverthorn Mill Farm“ bekannt. Geschichte Der Name Silverthorn kommt von den ersten Siedlern, die sich weit vor der amerikanischen Revolution in New Jersey und Virginia niederließen. Die meisten von ihnen kamen aus Somerset/Wiltshire im Südwesten von England und hatten ihren Nachnamen nach dem Holy Thorn of Glastonbury. Der New Jersey'er-Zweig der Silverthorns verloren ihren Landbesitz, da sie Loyalisten und gingen nach Kanada, wo sie von der United Empire Loyalist unterstützt wurden. Zwar gibt es kein offizielles Wappen für diesen Familiennamen, aber es ist eine sehr altes inoffizielles derer aus (Bristol/Bath-Umgebung im Wiltshire, England). Namenforscher meinen, dass es mehr Silverthorns in und um Toronto und seine umliegenden Friedhöfen gibt, als in jede andere Region der Welt. Als Markland Wood sich in den frühen 1960er Jahren entwickelte, beschloss das Etobicoke Board of Education (der Vorläufer des TDSB) eine weiterführende Schule für das Gebiet zu errichten. Die Schule wurde Silverthorn Collegiate Institute nach der Familie, welche als erste das Gebiet besiedelt hatten, benannt. Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte 1963 und im September 1964 wurde die Schule mit 24 Lehrkräften und 7 unterstützenden Mitarbeitern eröffnet. Murray Young war der erste Schulleiter. Die Schule hatte 1964 nur die Klassen 9, 10 und 11. In den nächsten zwei Jahren kamen die Klassenstufen 12 und 13 dazu. Von 1968 bis 1969 wurde der Schulbau größenmäßig verdoppelt, dazu kam ein Hörsaal, eine Bibliothek, wissenschaftliche Labors und Gebäude für technische und kaufmännische Arbeitsbereiche. Eine zweite Turnhalle wurde später hinzugefügt. Silverthorns Schulfarben sind Granat, Grün und Silber und sein Maskottchen ist Spartacus, der Spartaner. Die Schule steht unter dem lateinischen Motto Nil Veretur Veritas („The Truth Fears Nothing“).
