Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park

Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is a naturist resort located in southern Ontario, about 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Toronto. It encompasses typical amenities for day users, 110 serviced campsites, five cabins, and five guest rooms. The club is situated on 50 acres (20 ha) of privately owned, forested land at the edge of the Oak Ridges Moraine, within the Ontario Greenbelt. Harrison Creek borders the northern boundary while the Black River bisects the property. There are also two ponds and a small lake. Background The park was founded as the Toronto Helios Society in 1972. The first year was spent dredging the lake fed by a creek and natural springs (now known as Jarvis Pond) and a well for drinking water. The park officially opened as a nudist club in 1973. In May 1984, original owners Eric and June Jarvis notified the American Sunbathing Association (now the American Association for Nude Recreation) that they could no longer operate Toronto Helios as a club for nudists only and were changing it to a trailer park open to the general public. According to Eric, it was a sad decision that was based on a variety of factors (increased taxes on the property of an additional $1200, loss of job for Eric, etc.). From 1984 until 2001 the land hosted a variety of non-naturist businesses including an attempt to open a KOA campground. On February 12, 2001, Carol and Larry Bean purchased the assets of Town & Country Resorts Inc. out of bankruptcy with the plan to return it to its former status as a naturist club. They renamed it The New Forest Family Naturist Resort. Unfortunately, the property had not been well maintained and much of the infrastructure needed significant work. The next several years were spent upgrading and repairing the facilities. On December 22, 2006, Carol and Larry sold the property to Linda and Stéphane Deschênes. It was more of a transition than a sale since Carol and Larry ensured that the property was sold to someone who would continue to develop the park as a naturist club. The park was renamed Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park for a variety of marketing reasons and as a wordplay on their last name (Deschênes being French for ‘of the oaks’). The club is recognized by the International Naturist Federation, the Federation of Canadian Naturists, the Fédération Québécoise de Naturisme, the American Association for Nude Recreation, and The Naturist Society. Bare Oaks adheres to naturist principles and rejects clothing-optional policies in favour of mandating nudity for all members and visitors. In 2016, a music video for indie rock artist Brendan Canning was filmed at the club.

Sadlon Arena

Sadlon Arena (formerly known as the Barrie Molson Centre) is a 4,195-seat multi-purpose arena in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It is primarily home to the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League. It is located in the south end of the city on Bayview Drive at Mapleview Drive, near Park Place. The arena hosted its first OHL game on December 31, 1995, when the Barrie Colts hosted the Sudbury Wolves. The Colts played the first half of their inaugural season at the old Dunlop Arena while the BMC was under construction. It is the former home of the Barrie Lakeshores of Major Series Lacrosse. The Molson Centre hosted the 2013 The Dominion Tankard, the provincial curling championship. The naming agreement for the Barrie Molson Centre ended on December 31, 2018. As a result, the City of Barrie placed an interim sign on the arena with the initials BMC until a new sponsor was found. On November 26, 2019, the city announced that a new, 10-year naming rights agreement with Paul Sadlon Motors (a local auto dealership) had been approved that will change the name of the facility to "Sadlon Arena".

Sir Isaac Brock Bridge

The Sir Isaac Brock Bridge is a steel Warren truss bridge in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It carries Bathurst Street over the Union Station Rail Corridor between Front Street and Fort York Boulevard. The bridge carries four lanes for motor vehicles with the centre lanes containing the streetcar tracks of the Toronto Transit Commission's 511 Bathurst streetcar route. The Bridge was formerly named The Bathurst Street Bridge before changing names and being named after Isaac Brock. Description and history The steel truss bridge was built in 1903 and used for the Great Western Railway over the Humber River (northside of then-Lakeshore Road at mouth of the river). It was disassembled and relocated in 1916 to Bathurst Street and converted for road traffic. The bridge served to connect Bathurst Street at Front Street to Fort York. In 1931, the bridge was moved and realigned (Bathurst Street was at an angle south of Front Street) to support streetcar service south of the railway tracks at that location. A new bridge south of the bridge was constructed to connect the south end of the bridge, connecting Bathurst to Fleet Street. Fort York lost its road access in the change, and a footbridge to the east entrance was constructed.The Tywn River Drive Bridge, Queen Street Viaduct, and the Old Eastern Avenue Bridge are other examples of steel bridges in Toronto. Lawrence Avenue Bridge was a truss bridge that took traffic over Don River, but it was replaced by the current overpass over the Don River and Don Valley Parkway in the 1960s. In 2007, the bridge was given the official name of the "Sir Isaac Brock Bridge" by the City of Toronto. This was done at the instigation of the "Friends of Fort York" organization. The bridge is owned by Metrolinx, which owns the railway tracks below. It was formerly owned by the Canadian National Railway. From May until late-December 2020, the bridge was closed for rehabilitation work. Crews made steel and concrete repairs to the road-carrying spans and the exposed steel, replaced TTC streetcar tracks and overhead wiring, and constructed a new concrete parapet wall along the curb for improved safety.

Bayview Village Shopping Centre

Bayview Village Shopping Centre is a shopping mall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 440,000-square-foot (41,000 m2) shopping mall is located at the northeast corner of Bayview Avenue and Sheppard Avenue in the former city of North York. It has a total of 110 stores, the anchor stores being Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart and LCBO. History Bayview Village was built in the 1960s as an open-air mall. It was one of the numerous post-World War II small neighbourhood community malls that were built in the inner suburbs of Toronto where residential neighbourhoods were growing. All of these community plazas were strip malls with one or two anchors. By the 1990s, shopping trends changed to power centres anchored by big-box stores, and many of these community malls, such as Honeydale Mall in the Etobicoke area of Toronto, declined during this time. However, Bayview Village Mall stayed competitive as its owners frequently overhauled the property to keep up with current trends. To distinguish itself from larger shopping centres, the owners of Bayview Village gentrified and sought out high-end independent boutiques not available in larger malls. Bayview Village Mall was the host of the first GAP store in Canada. Bayview Village Mall is located in the affluent neighbourhood of Bayview Village where significant transit-oriented condominium development has enabled it to thrive despite being close to the larger Fairview Mall. Since its redevelopment in 1998, the tenants of the mall have become more exclusive and aimed at the more affluent shoppers from the nearby areas of Bayview Village, Willowdale, York Mills, the Bridle Path, and Lawrence Park. It contains the "only North American outpost" of a number of high-end fashion designers, as well as outlets for luxury American designers such as Brooks Brothers and a branch of the expensive Toronto grocery store Pusateri's. The target customer for the Bayview Village Shopping Centre is female, over 30 years old, with an annual household income of over CA$100,000. In 2013, the mall was conditionally sold for CA$500 million to a British Columbian property company. This was the biggest single property sale of 2013. Long time anchor store Kmart closed in 1998. The store was demolished and the location redeveloped to house a Chapters and a large LCBO store as well as additional mall space. In 2018, Chapters closed its doors and left the space vacant afterwards. As a result of changes proposed by the owner to develop the site, the LCBO store moved into the former Chapters location in 2019. Site development In August 2017, the owners proposed a major development of the site to add three residential towers on retail podiums as well as some additional low rise townhouse development and additional retail shops. The towers will be located on the existing surface parking area and additional underground parking is planned. The proposal has been revised following community input to include more parkland. It is currently being considered by the city planning department. References External links Bayview Village Shopping Centre
