École secondaire catholique Père-Philippe-Lamarche

École secondaire catholique Père-Philippe-Lamarche (transl. Father Père-Philippe-Lamarche Catholic Secondary School, commonly shortened to ESC Père-Philippe-Lamarche or ESCPPL), is a public separate French first language secondary school operated by the Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir and located on Eglinton Avenue, in the Toronto neighbourhood of Eglinton East. It is the first public francophone separate secondary school in Scarborough. The school was named after Father Père-Philippe-Lamarche, a Catholic clergyman who moved to Toronto in 1887 and founded the city's first predominantly French school. History Before 1998, Metropolitan Separate School Board (French: Les Conseil des écoles catholiques du Grand Toronto) provided English, and French first language separate education in Metropolitan Toronto, including the former City of Scarborough. The school board's Section de langue française unit operated one secondary school in North York, École secondaire catholique Monseigneur-de-Charbonnel. In 1998, the school board's English and French language units were split into two, with the French language unit merging with several other regional French units to form Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud (renamed Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir in 2017). The new school board assumed control of Monseigneur-de-Charbonnel, which remained Toronto's only French first language separate secondary school until 2012, when the school board opened École secondaire catholique Saint-Frère-André in the western portion of Toronto. Prior to the opening of ESC Père-Philippe-Lamarche, the school board did not operate a secondary school in Scarborough, the easternmost district of Toronto. In April 2011, Conseil scolaire Catholique du Centre-sud purchased property on Eglinton Avenue East from the Toronto Catholic District School Board. The 1.922 hectares (4.75 acres) property was a vacant lot, designated as "Site 19" by TCDSB and was formerly reserved for future use. Conseil scolaire Catholique du Centre-sud began building a new secondary school on the property in 2015. Lamarche was officially opened on 5 September 2017 in a ceremony involving Mitzie Hunter, the Minister of Education, and Marie-France Lalonde, the Minister of Francophone Affairs. Lamarche was the first separate secondary school (English or French) to be opened in Scarborough since 1989, when St. Joan of Arc Catholic Academy opened. The school later held a blessing ceremony in November 2017, presided by Cardinal Thomas Christopher Collins, the Archbishop of Toronto. The new two-storey school was designed by IBI Group.

East Chinatown (Toronto)

East Chinatown (chinois : 東區唐人街 litt. « rue des Chinois du secteur de l'est », ou plus précisément 多倫多東區華埠, litt. « quartier chinois de l'est de Toronto »), connu aussi sous le nom du deuxième quartier chinois en français, est une enclave ethnique et un quartier du Toronto, au Canada, ayant une forte concentration de résidents d'origine chinoise et de commerces asiatiques s'étendant le long de la rue Gerrard est, entre les avenues Broadview et Greenwood. Ses origines remontent aux années 1970 à la suite de l'inflation des prix de l'immobilier du centre-ville de Toronto. Au début, le quartier appartenait au quartier Riverdale, mais Riverdale a gentrifié et par conséquent le deuxième quartier chinois a devenu un quartier distinct. Depuis 12 septembre 2009, une arcade chinoise existe dans le quartier. Elle situe dans un parc de stationnement à l'angle sud-est des rues Gerrard et Hamilton.

Leaside Bridge

The Leaside Bridge, formerly the East York Leaside Viaduct, and officially commemorated as the Confederation Bridge, is a truss bridge that spans the Don River in the City of Toronto, Ontario. Carrying six lanes of Millwood Road, it was built to connect the then Town of Leaside, including Thorncliffe Park, to the then Township of East York, and was completed on October 29, 1927. The construction time of only 10 months was record breaking at the time. History During the 1920s, as the new communities surrounding Toronto grew rapidly, several bridges were constructed to overcome the barrier of the Don Valley. Among these were the Vale of Avoca (St. Clair Avenue east of Yonge Street) and the East York – Leaside Viaduct. The town of Leaside, built by Canadian Northern Railway in the late teens and early 1920s, sought to attract investors and homebuyers. A connection over the Don Valley to the town of Todmorden Mills and on to Toronto would provide this. Sod was turned in mid-December and active construction began in January 1927 under the direction of bridge designer Frank Barber. The bridge was rapidly assembled throughout the spring and summer, and inaugurated on October 29 as the Confederation Bridge, in honour of the sixtieth anniversary of that event. The tiled mosaic handrail was designed by New York architect Calude Bragdon with tiles supplied by Italian Mosaic and Tile Company. In the late 1960s, as the first of numerous plans appeared to extend Leslie Street south of Eglinton, plans were initiated to widen the bridge to support six lanes of traffic. The bridge was closed beginning September 16, 1968, and reopened February 8, 1969. Girders were attached to the sides of the bridge to widen the deck to either side and the piers were reinforced on the corners to carry the additional weight. The expanded bridge had guardrail consisting of a concrete barrier topped with a double tubular railing, considerably plainer than the original decorative parapets. Between 2004 and 2006, the bridge was rehabilitated. The second of two contracts to rehabilitate the bridge was awarded in 2005 and included the restoration of the decorative handrail from the original 1927 design.

Leaside Curling Club

Leaside Curling Club is a curling club located in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The organization was founded in 1963 in response to community requests for a neighbourhood curling club. The City of Toronto built the club's facility in the Leaside Memorial Community Gardens recreational complex, which has eight sheets of curling ice, a lounge, pro shop, bar, and change rooms. The curling club and its member-elected Board of Directors managed all aspects of the operation of the club in partnership with the City's Parks and Recreation Department which provided management and maintenance support. In 2014, the club's membership voted to approve a proposal through which the membership would lease the facility and be responsible for the overall operations and management of the club. Today, Leaside is Ontario's largest curling club, with more than 1,100 members and leagues for curlers of all ages and abilities. Leaside is also the home club of John Epping, a top-ranked curler on the World Curling Tour. As club pro, Epping can be booked for individual or team instruction. Club and ice rental are also available to groups for team building or recreational experiences. No experience required; instructors are provided on request. References External links Official website

Rideau Canal

Het Rideau Canal (Frans: Canal Rideau) is een waterweg in Canada die de stad Ottawa in Ontario, gelegen aan de Ottawa River, verbindt met de stad Kingston in Ontario, gelegen aan de oevers van het Ontariomeer bij de uitmonding in de Saint Lawrencerivier. De waterweg, met een totale lengte van 202 km bestaat voor een groot gedeelte uit de rivieren Rideau en Cataraqui, en de Boven-, Beneden- en Groot-Rideaumeren. Ongeveer 19 kilometer bestaat uit uitgegraven kanalen, waarbij de hoogteverschillen zijn weggewerkt met een totaal van 45 sluizen, gegroepeerd over 23 locaties. De waterweg is bevaarbaar voor schepen met een lengte tot 33,5 meter, een breedte van 9,1 meter en een diepgang van 1,5 m. Normale en permanent beschikbare operaties beperken de scheepvaart tot boten van 27,4 m, met 7,9 m breedte, 6,7 m hoogte en diepgang van 1,2 m. Het project werd uitgedacht in de uitloop van de Oorlog van 1812. Het bleek duidelijk dat de Saint Lawrencerivier als grenslijn tussen het Verenigd Koninkrijk en zijn Canadese gebieden en de Verenigde Staten een niet betrouwbare transportroute was, en dat voor de verbinding van Montréal naar Kingston een meer landinwaarts alternatief diende uitgewerkt te worden, samen met een versteviging van de grens door forten. Het traject werd uitgetekend door luitenant-kolonel John By van de Britse Royal Engineers en de graafwerken en constructie van de sluizen werden tussen 1826 en 1832 uitgevoerd. Het hele systeem van de waterweg met kanalen en sluizen is tot heden nog in gebruik, met de meeste originele bouwkundige constructies nog intact. Het is het oudste permanent in gebruik gebleven kanaalsysteem van Noord-Amerika. Het kanaal werd uitgeroepen tot een National Historic Site of Canada in 1925. Tijdens de 31e sessie van de Commissie voor het Werelderfgoed in 2007 werd het Rideau Canal erkend als cultureel werelderfgoed en opgenomen in de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Het kanaal wordt als een recreatieroute uitgebaat door Parks Canada waarbij de sluizen bemand zijn en beschikbaar voor doorvaart van midden mei tot midden oktober. Galerij Hoewel er oorspronkelijk 47 sluizen waren loopt de nummering van 1 tot 49. Dat komt doordat de twee sluizen bij de toegang tot het Tay Canal zijn meegenummerd (sluis 33 en 34). Nadat in 1973-74 drie sluizen bij Smith Falls zijn vervangen door een gecombineerde sluis met nummer 29a (de oude sluizen 28 - 30 zijn er nog wel), telt het Rideau Canal nu nog 45 functionerende sluizen.
Kanał Rideau

Kanał Rideau (ang. Rideau Canal, fr. Canal Rideau) – kanał wodny łączący Ottawę (stolicę Kanady, położoną nad rzeką Ottawa) z miastem Kingston nad jeziorem Ontario. Kanał został zbudowany przez Anglików w latach 1826–1832 na wypadek wojny ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi. Budowę kanału nadzorował pułkownik angielskiego korpusu inżynieryjnego John By. Budowę poszczególnych odcinków prowadzili w większości na zlecenie armii prywatni przedsiębiorcy (John Redpath, Thomas McKay i inni). Wśród tysięcy robotników przeważali francuskojęzyczni Kanadyjczycy i imigranci z Irlandii. Kanał (a właściwie: Droga Wodna) Rideau ma długość 202 km. Ogromną większość z tej długości stanowią zaadaptowane dla żeglugi odcinki rzek Rideau i Cataraqui oraz położone na trasie jeziora. Jedynie około 19 km drogi stanowią kanały wykopane ręką człowieka. Na drodze tej znajduje się 47 śluz zgrupowanych w 22 zespoły. Większość ze śluz posiada dotychczas urządzenia manewrowe napędzane siłą mięśni ludzkich. W normalnych warunkach kanał obsługuje jednostki o długości do 27,4 m (90 stóp), szerokości do 7,9 m (26 stóp) i wysokości do 6,7 m (22 stopy). W szczególnych przypadkach może jednak przyjąć jednostki o wymiarach maksymalnych odpowiednio: długość 33,5 m (110 stóp) i szerokość 9,1 m (30 stóp). Decydują o tym w głównej mierze wymiary komór śluz oraz wysokości przerzuconych nad kanałem mostów. Kanał nigdy nie spełnił swego militarnego przeznaczenia, lecz pozostaje w użytku do dziś z niemal nietkniętymi strukturami pierwotnymi. Obecnie nie jest on już używany do transportu towarów. Stanowi jedynie wodny szlak o wielkim znaczeniu turystycznym i rekreacyjnym, pokonywany rocznie przez tysiące jednostek turystycznych, a także cenny zabytek techniki. Wzdłuż większej części trasy kanału biegnie znakowany pieszy szlak turystyczny, a także specjalnie przygotowana trasa rowerowa. Jest to najstarszy pozostający w użytkowaniu kanał w Ameryce Północnej, a w 2007 został zarejestrowany na liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Od 1978 roku Kanał Rideau w Ottawie jest jednym z miejsc zimowego festiwalu "Winterlude". Na zamarzniętych wodach powstają publiczne lodowiska, na których organizowane są zawody i zabawy. Towarzyszą im m.in. ekspozycje rzeźby w lodzie. Przypisy Bibliografia Mirosław J. Barański: Śluzy Kanału Rideau w Ottawie, w: „Na Szlaku. Magazyn turystyczno-krajoznawczy” R.
