Eglinton Square

Eglinton Square Shopping Centre is an enclosed shopping mall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located at Eglinton Avenue East and Victoria Park Avenue in Scarborough's Golden Mile neighbourhood. It opened in 1953 as a strip plaza and was later converted to a mall. The Eglinton Square Shopping Centre is owned by Kingsett Capital and under the management of Bentall Kennedy (Canada) LP. It has approximately 279,000 sq ft (25,900 m2) of retail space with over 80 retail outlets. The shopping centre is slated for major redevelopment, with high density condo buildings as part of the mix. History The mall was opened to the public in 1953 in an area once settled by farmland in the 1820s and re-developed as industrial land during World War II along Eglinton Avenue and surrounded by residential homes to the north, south and west sides. Built at the cost 1.6 million$, Eglinton Square was expanded two years later. In 1957, the shopping centre was visited by Queen Elizabeth II. Up until the early 1960s, Eglinton Square had two Dominion supermarkets, one at each end of the plaza. In the spring 1963, the Dominion at the western end of the shopping centre was torn down to make room for an upcoming two story Morgan's department store of 120,000 square feet. Morgan's officially opened on August 22, 1963. It was notable for having a parking garage attached to the shopping centre with room for 573 cars including those parked in the roof of the store. It was the first Morgan's store opened by the Hudson's Bay Company following its acquisition of the chain in 1960. Unlike its two other Morgan's locations at Lawrence Plaza and Cloverdale Mall which were leases, Hudson's Bay Company wholly owned the store at Eglinton Square. Morgan's eventually became a The Bay store. In 1964, Eglinton Square was enlarged of 25 stores from the 31 existing ones and essentially became an enclosed shopping mall. In addition, a multi-level parking for 500 cars was to be installed on top of the new extension. To this day, the main shopping centre still has two 1960s style ramps that provide two levels of parking on top of the stores. The mall's perimeter is being redeveloped for mixed and residential use (condo towers and townhouses) including demolition of existing low rise apartments along Engelhart Crescent.

Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library

The Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library is a library in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Canada. It offers various resources and programs. The library received press coverage for firing its chief librarian in 2024. History The library originally opened in 1855, relocated multiple times, and transitioned to its current location in 2000. A chief librarian was hired in 1969 and she worked there until her retirement in 2004. She expanded the library's access to new technology and weeded the collection to exclude outdated materials such as travel guides from the early 1900s. The library digitized materials she had preserved regarding the history of the institution. After her death in 2022, a tree was planted in honour of her contributions to the library. The library offers books, digital resources, and jigsaw puzzles. There are multiple books in its black history collection. Several children's programs are offered. In 2014, the library offered a program where patrons could pay an additional fee and rent kitchen equipment throughout the year. In 2017, a labyrinth outside the building was established. In February 2024, the library considered amalgamation with other libraries in the Niagara Region. It has a borrowing arrangement with Welland and Niagara Falls but remains an independent institution. In March 2024, the chief librarian was criticized for writing a newspaper column that supported the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, a group known for right wing political advocacy and Anti-LGBT rhetoric. The employee believed in library neutrality and objected to the removal of content that "incite[s] hatred or violence" on censorship grounds. She was fired shortly afterwards. An online petition to protest her termination was launched and received 714 signatures. The organization she supported also objected to her firing. The library board stated that their issue was not with the piece itself but from her signing it as CEO and misrepresenting the board's position.

Embassy of Cuba, Ottawa

The Embassy of Cuba in Ottawa is the Cuban embassy in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 388 Main Street in Old Ottawa East. History Diplomatic relations between Canada and Cuba began in 1945, and were uninterrupted by the Cuban Revolution. The Cuban embassy was initially located at 690 Island Park Drive and subsequently relocated to Chapel Street in Sandy Hill. For many years the Chapel Street location was the target of repeated terrorist attacks by U.S.-based anti-Castro groups. The first attack was an improvised bomb made out of bazooka shells that went off on September 22, 1966. It caused only minor damage to the embassy, blowing out the embassy's windows, and those of many nearby homes and made a crater in the sidewalk. In 1968 the embassy moved into a stone manor at 700 Echo Drive in Old Ottawa South, which was the site of another unsuccessful attack in 1974. It moved to its present heavily fortified location in 1977. This bombing campaign would continue until 1980 with the embassy and the Cuban consulate in Montreal being repeatedly attacked. Most of these attacks were small and badly planned and only one person was killed: Sergio Pérez Castillo, who died when the consulate in Montreal was bombed in 1972. Cuba also maintains Consulate General offices in Toronto and Montreal.
