Bell Memorial

Bell Memorial är ett minnesmärke över telefonen och dess uppfinnare Alexander Graham Bell i Brantford i Ontario i Kanada. Det är utfört av skulptören Walter Seymour Allward och invigdes år 1917. Historia Bells första långdistanssamtal mellan två platser skedde år 1876 mellan Brantford och Paris i Ontario, en sträcka på 13 kilometer. Ideén om ett minnesmärke väcktes av stadens borgare år 1906. Man bildade en förening, Bell Telephone Memorial Association, och utlyste en tävling om utformningen av monumentet två år senare. Konstnärer från USA, Kanada och Europa inbjöds till tävlingen. Monumentet skulle vara allegoriskt och tävlingsbidragen skulle vara av gips i skala 1:8 och åtföljda av en maskinskriven beskrivning. Tävlingskommitén erhöll tio förslag och utsåg Allwards bidrag till vinnare. Han ville med sitt monument spegla den stora betydelse som Bells uppfinning hade haft för mänskligheten. Avsikten var att skulpturen skulle invigas år 1912 men arbetet tog längre tid än beräknat. Gipsmodellerna i full skala av de två allegoriska figurerna var först klara i augusti 1914. Efter godkännande av tävlingskommitén skickades de Gorham Manufacturing Company i Providence i Rhode Island i USA för gjutning. Arbetet försenades på grund av brist på sand till gjutningen. Sanden skulle importeras från Frankrike och första världskriget pågick. Sommaren 1916 drabbades gjuteriet dessutom av en explosion, som förstörde en av gjutformarna och skadade flera arbetare. Trots detta färdigställdes arbetet i april 1917. Utformning Monumentet, som är omkring 15 meter brett, består av två 3,7 meter höga bronsfigurer som skall representera mänskligheten, en som talar och en som lyssnar. Figurerna står på socklar av grå granit i vardera ändan av monumentet. Mellan dem finns en bronspanel med en man som skickar meddelande över en böjd yta som skall föreställa jorden. Ovanför honom finns en figur, som är inspirerad av Michelangelos målning Adams skapelse i Sixtinska kapellet, och skall symbolisera intelligens samt de tre flygande budbärarna "kunskap", "glädje" och "sorg". Under panelen finns en plakett med texten "To commemorate the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in Brantford 1874" (Till minne om uppfinningen av telefonen av Alexander Graham Bell i Brantford 1874). Skulpturen invigdes den 24 oktober 1917 av den kanadensiska generalguvernören Victor Cavendish i närvaro av Alexander Graham Bell och tusentals åskådare.

Beth Israel Congregation (Kingston, Ontario)

Beth Israel Congregation (Hebrew: בית ישראל) is a Conservative synagogue located at 116 Centre Street in Kingston, Ontario. It was designed by Joseph William Power, architect in 1910. It is the oldest synagogue in Kingston. Beth Israel was founded in 1908 as an Orthodox Jewish congregation. The original synagogue on Queen Street was completed in 1910. In 1961, the current building on Centre Street was completed. Until 1960, most members were merchants or businessmen from central and eastern Europe. With newer members joining in the 1960s and 1970s from academic and professional backgrounds, the congregation split in 1975 and a Reform congregation was formed, Iyr-Ha-Melech, while Beth Israel remained Orthodox. In the early 21st century, as fewer families observed Orthodox practice, it became more difficult to regularly achieve a minyan for services. The congregation voted in 2012 to affiliate with Conservative Judaism and become egalitarian and membership grew to 150 families. References
Bethune Memorial House

Bethune Memorial House (French: Maison commémorative Bethune), a National Historic Site of Canada in Gravenhurst, Ontario, Canada, commemorates the life and achievements of Dr. Norman Bethune. Impatient and restless, he was inspired by a sense of duty to others and a love of the outdoors. In Bethune, these characteristics were the seeds of a battlefront surgeon, communist, humanitarian, inventor, teacher and artist. The historic site explores the roots and examines his legacy. Dr. Bethune spent the last two years of his life in China, serving as a teacher and as a surgeon of the communist Eighth Route Army. History The house was built in 1880 to serve as the manse of Knox Presbyterian Church. Malcolm Bethune became the minister of Knox Church in 1889 and, a year later, his son Norman was born in the manse. The Bethune family remained in Gravenhurst until 1893, when they moved to Beaverton, Ontario. Thereafter, the house was occupied by a succession of ministers. In 1973, the house was purchased by the federal government's Department of External Affairs. Restoration of the building was subsequently undertaken by Parks Canada, which is now responsible for its operation. In August 2002, then-Governor General Adrienne Clarkson visited the house and also unveiled a bronze statue of Dr. Bethune erected by the Town of Gravenhurst. The statue is located on Gravenhurst's main street, alongside the notable Opera House.

Big East River

The Big East River is a river in Muskoka District and Nipissing District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The river is in the Great Lakes Basin, is a left tributary of the Muskoka River, and flows from Algonquin Provincial Park to Huntsville. The Big East River is an established canoe route. Its upper part is difficult to paddle, with low water levels in the summer. Geography The Big East River begins at East End Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park in geographic Hunter Township, Nipissing District. It loops east and south to Red Lake in geographic Peck Township, turns southwest to West Harry Lake, then leaves the lake southwest over West Harry Lake Dam, through the Big Cedar Chutes, and enters geographic Finlayson Township. The river passes from Algonquin Provincial Park into Big East River Provincial Park, through Finlayson Lake and over the former Finlayson Lake Dam (which was removed to allow the river to return to its natural riverine characteristics) and through the Finlayson Rapids, and enters Muskoka District at geographic Sinclair Township in the incorporated township of Lake of Bays. It continues southwest through the McBrien Rapids to Distress Lake, where it takes in the right tributary Tonawanda Creek, over an overflow weir (which replaced the former Distress Dam). From here the river widens, slows down, and meanders, with some shallow swifts. The river leaves Big East River Provincial Park, enters geographic Chaffey Township in the town of Huntsville, passes the Dyer Memorial on the right bank near the settlement of Williamsport, and enters a section of oxbows and loops with 35-metre-high (115 ft) sandbanks. It passes Arrowhead Provincial Park on the right bank, takes in the right tributary Little East River, then straightens and deepens before flowing under Ontario Highway 11, and reaches its mouth at Lake Vernon. Lake Vernon flows via the North Branch Muskoka River, then the Moon River and Musquash River to Lake Huron. Tributaries Big East River Provincial Park Big East River Provincial Park is a provincial park in Lake of Bays Township, Ontario, Canada, established on August 10, 2000, as the first of Ontario's Living Legacy's new provincial parks. As a waterway class park, it protects the waters and 200-metre wide (660 ft) strips of land along both banks of the Big East River, from the western boundary of Algonquin Park to Arrowhead Provincial Park. The river in the park has "spectacular" sandy bluffs and numerous oxbows. Big East River Provincial Park is a non-operating park, meaning that there are no facilities or services for visitors. Low–impact recreational activities such as hiking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and nature–viewing are permitted and encouraged. More than 400 vascular plant species and over 90 bird species in some 18 vegetation environments are found within the park, including over 30 regionally or provincially rare species of plants and several rare bird species.
