Netivot HaTorah Day School

Netivot HaTorah Day School (Hebrew: נתיבות התורה) is a private, coeducational Orthodox Jewish elementary school in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. As of 2008, it enrolls 600 students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. The school is affiliated with Mercaz (formerly known as the Board of Jewish Education), the educational pillar of the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto. History The school was founded in 1984 by Thornhill parents who sought a more religious atmosphere than that found at the decades-old Associated Hebrew Day School in North Toronto. Enrollment increased from 42 students in its first year to 160 students in its second year to nearly 600 students by 2003. The school moved to its present location in 1993. It is now located on the same block as a newer building for the Associated school, as well as the north campus of the Leo Baeck Day School. In 2008 the school opened a preschool branch on the premises of Shaarei Shomayim Congregation in midtown Toronto. Curriculum In addition to the regular Ontario curriculum, the school teaches the Hebrew language, Torah subjects, and various other Jewish-related topics. The curriculum is characterized by its Modern Orthodox and Religious Zionist approach, with an emphasis on "Ivrit b'Ivrit" (Hebrew subjects taught in Hebrew) and teachers who are shlichim (Israeli emissaries living in Canada on short, three- to five-year terms). This gives students an authentic taste of modern Israeli language and culture. Upon completing grade 8, students mostly feed into either Bnei Akiva Schools or Tanenbaum CHAT. Congregation Ayin L'Tzion Zichron Yisroel, a Modern Orthodox, Zionist minyan, is housed in the school. Cookbook In 2003 the Netivot HaTorah parents' organization published a fund-raising cookbook titled Gatherings. Sales of the cookbook netted over $120,000 for the school in its first year of publication.

Kashechewan

Kashechewan est une Première Nation (au sens de « bande indienne ») isolée du district de Kenora dans le nord de l'Ontario, au Canada, sur la rive nord de la rivière Albany. Ses membres sont d'ethnie crie, plus précisément crie des marécages (en). La Première Nation partage la réserve de Fort Albany 67 avec la Première Nation d'Albany. Elle fait partie du conseil tribal Mushkegowuk (en) et de l'organisation politique Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Histoire La bande de Kashechewan est constituée officiellement en 1977, au sens de la Loi sur les Indiens, à partir d'un détachement de certaines familles anglicanes faisant partie de la Première Nation d'Albany qui résident au sud de la rivière Albany qui partent s'établir au nord de celle-ci entre 1958 et 1961.

La « tragédie de Walkerton » est une épidémie d'E. coli causée par l'eau contaminée à Walkerton, qui a causé plusieurs morts et maladies en mai 2000. En mai 2014, près de 700 résidents sont évacués à Thunder Bay ou à Greenstone en raison de la crue de la rivière Albany ayant provoqué d'importantes inondations et forcé la communauté à déclarer l'état d'urgence. Transports Kashechewan est accessible via l'aéroport Kashechewan à l'année longue. La route d'hiver de la baie James (environ de janvier à avril) relie les communautés de la côte de la baie : Attawapiskat, Kashechewan, Fort Albany, Moosonee et Moose Factory.

Precious Blood Cathedral

Precious Blood Cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario. The cathedral is located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. History The first Catholic missionaries arrived in the area in around 1815, at which point Sault was an outpost of the Northwest Company. The Catholic parish in the adjoining city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan served Catholics for several years until a wooden church was constructed for the Parish of the Sacred Heart in 1846. In 1875, the present church building opened, as the region's Catholic population, mainly of French Canadian and Irish immigrant origin, began to grow rapidly. Following the creation of the dioceses in 1904, this facility was elevated to cathedral status. In 1936, the parish assumed its current name. The building was fully renovated in 1963. In 2013, the parish announced plans for a $4 million expansion to church grounds, which will include the construction of a 5,500 square foot multi-use hall that will be the home of the diocese's social ministry programs.

LIUNA Station

LIUNA Station is a banquet and convention centre in central Hamilton, Ontario. The building opened in 1931 as Hamilton C.N.R. Station and served as a passenger and freight railway station. History LIUNA Station, former CN Railway James Street Station, on the east side of James Street North at Murray Street, was built between 1929 and 1931 by the Canadian National Railway to a design by architect John Schofield. The property is one of the National Historic Sites of Canada and was designated under the federal Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act and under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by City of Hamilton By-law 95-115. Portions of the building were protected by the Ontario Heritage Trust in 1999. In 1967, GO Transit took over CN's commuter service between Toronto and Hamilton, and in 1978 all other CN passenger service was transferred to Via Rail. In 1992, Via Rail withdrew service from James Street Station as well as Burlington and Dundas, consolidating all service in the Hamilton-Burlington area at the new Aldershot GO Station in Burlington. GO Transit closed the James Street station in 1993 and moved any remaining service to the Hamilton GO Centre, only one and a half kilometres directly south on James Street. The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) bought and renovated the station, and in 2000, station was reopened as LIUNA Station, an events centre with catering facilities for weddings, dances, and other special events. It is no longer federally protected. See also The adjoining West Harbour GO Station opened in 2015.

Great Lakes Brewery (Toronto)

Great Lakes Brewery is a craft beer brewery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Great Lakes Brewery was started in 1987 in an industrial unit in Brampton by Bruce Cornish and four other silent partners. The group produced two beers, an ale and a lager, using malt extract. The beer was packaged in 1 litre plastic home brew bottles with a focus on the home retailer. After four years of production, Cornish and the silent partners had run out of capital to keep the brewery functioning. Peter Bulut Sr., a construction magnate in Etobicoke, had been introduced to Cornish through respective business deals and plans were underway to sell the brewery to him. Bulut Sr. purchased the business in 1990, made the change from malt extract brewing to all grain, and in the early months of 1991, moved the brewery to Toronto. In 2009, with the health of Peter Bulut Sr. in decline, his children, Peter Bulut Jr. and his sister Anetta Jewell, took on more responsibility of the day-to-day operations. They, along with the brewing team, introduced new brands and marketing initiatives that led to increased sales through the LCBO, bars and restaurants. The brewing team experimented with flavours, gave their beers weird and wacky names, and showcased their creations with monthly Project X nights (no longer taking place). Bulut Sr. died in 2010, leaving the brewery to his family. Bulut Jr. took over the brewery, operating as President and Chief Brewing Officer.

The main library downtown, five branches, and a bookmobile (seven branches total) serve about 123,000 residents in Guelph. The current CEO is Dan Atkins. Branches Bullfrog Mall Bookmobile East Side Main Scottsdale West End Westminster History In 1883, the Guelph Public Library was the first public library in Ontario established under the Public Library Act of 1882. The collection of the Farmers and Mechanics Institute library, which had been a free public lending library since 1850, was contributed to the newly founded Guelph Public Library. The first library building was completed in September 1905 at the corner of Norfolk and Paisley streets downtown, partly through a Carnegie Foundation grant of $24,000. The neo-classical (Beaux Art) structure, had been designed in 1902 by W. Frye Colwill. According to a University publication, "The library permitted free access, used the Dewey Decimal system classification, and provided a card catalogue. The motto, "Floreat Scientia" ("Let Knowledge Grow") was carved above the stone entrance. A special Guelph feature was its dome, one of the few built in this fashion in Canada". It was demolished in 1964 in spite of public opposition, and replaced with the current structure on Norfolk St. A new public library may be built near the Baker St. parking lot, which is to be redeveloped as the Baker District. Preliminary discussions about a new main branch had taken place by summer 2017 with some decision expected to be made in 2018. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026. References
