School of Experiential Education

School of Experiential Education (SEE) is a small alternative high school located in Toronto's west end of Etobicoke. SEE's take on alternative education includes small class sizes, discussion-based courses, thematic English courses, and opportunities for independent and project-based learning. SEE delivers all courses required for the completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. It offers opportunities to participate in media, technology, and photography courses, with equipment such as cameras, two computer labs, recording equipment and a dark room available for student use. SEE has a full curriculum that includes the arts, math, humanities and sciences, as well as physical education, technology and business. SEE is a semestered school. It is designed for students with academic potential who are put off by the traditional high school approaches to learning. Almost all students go on to university. The school opened originally as a small elementary school called Fairhaven Public School that opened in 1954. SEE school began in 1971 as one of two alternative schools in the Etobicoke School Board. When the government of Mike Harris merged the Toronto area school boards and sharply cut budgets in 1998, the school was threatened with closure. Admission process Because SEE is an optional attendance school, potential students must go through an application process in order to be admitted. This process includes an application (including an essay), an interview, and submission of a transcript (if the student has previously attended a secondary school) or a report card (if the student is applying directly from grade eight).

Seaway International Bridge

The Seaway International Bridge is an international crossing connecting the U.S. state of New York, Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, and the Canadian province of Ontario. It consists of the South and North Channel Bridges that originally opened in 1958, and spans the St. Lawrence Seaway. The North Channel Bridge, connecting the City of Cornwall in Ontario to Cornwall Island in Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, was rebuilt and opened in 2014. The bridge is among the busiest on the Canada–United States border in the state of New York, with about two million crossings a year. It is jointly owned by the Federal Bridge Corporation (a Crown corporation of the Canadian federal government) and the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (an agency of the United States Department of Transportation), and is operated by the Seaway International Bridge Corporation, which came under the control of the Federal Bridge Corporation from the Saint Lawrence Seaway Authority in 1998. History Previously known as the Cornwall-Massena International Bridge, the SIBC was a private bridge whose outstanding stock was purchased by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Authority (Canada) and the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (U.S.) in 1957. It was incorporated in Canada five years later. In 2000, the international border crossing that the Seaway International Bridge comprises was named the Three Nations Crossing, in recognition that it connects the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory, a self-governing nation, to the United States and Canada. On January 24, 2014, the opening of a new lower-level bridge marked the official closing of the former high-level North Channel crossing of the Seaway International Bridge. This project was estimated to cost $75 million, entirely funded by the Government of Canada. It was announced in 2010 that the Government of Canada would be going forward with this project that would involve the construction of a new low-level bridge as well as the demolition of the Seaway International Bridge to ensure the longevity of the border crossing, assuring that the former bridge was still in safe driving condition. The high-level Seaway International Bridge was completely demolished in 2015. At the opening ceremony of the new bridge, the first person to make the crossing was Raymonde Champagne, who had also been the first person to cross the high-level bridge in 1962. Border crossing The Three Nations Crossing is the border crossing associated with the Seaway International Bridge. It was named in 2000, in honor of the Mohawk of Akwesasne, a federally recognized tribe in the United States and First Nation in Canada. Their reserve extends across the international border, in addition to that between Quebec and Ontario. Most of the land is in New York, United States.

Settlers' Ghost Golf Club

Settlers' Ghost Golf Club is a public golf course located near Craighurst, Ontario, Canada. It has twice hosted the CN Canadian Women's Tour. History In the early 2000s, a group of investors purchased a piece of land in Oro-Medonte Township. After some delays, including an archaeological dig, Settlers' Ghost opened in August 2004 as a 9-hole course. The back nine opened in 2005, making Settlers' Ghost a full 18-hole course. Head professional Settlers' Ghost has two golf professionals on staff. Mary-Pat Quilty is a CPGA Class "A" Head Professional. Prior to working at Settlers' Ghost, Mary-Pat toured in Asia, Australia and in the United States, including a stint on the Futures Tour. She is a two-time OPGA women's champion, winning the event in 2002 and 2006. The CPGA Assistant Professional at Settlers' Ghost is Dave Jackson. CN Tour From May 28 to 30, 2006, Settlers' Ghost hosted the CN Canadian Women's Tour, a qualifying tournament for the Canadian Women's Open. Salimah Mussani won the tournament and an exemption into the Canadian Open with a 25-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole. She and Corina Kelepouris finished the two-day event tied at 4-under par. Mary-Pat Quilty finished the event tied for 40th place at 9-over par. Settlers' Ghost again hosted the CN Tour in 2007. Quebecer Christine Boucher won the event in a three-way playoff by making a 30-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole. Boucher, Lauren Mielbrecht and Walailak Satarak finished the event at 1-over par. After finishing the first day in seventh place, Quilty ended up in a tie for 24th place at 10-over par. The name The Township of Oro-Medonte, home to this property, has along and storied past, and it is our intent that this golf course serve as a reminder of that past and preserve the memory of those here before us. The first "settlers" to the area were the Huron Indians and the remains of two important village sites are located nearby. The second group of "settlers", primarily from the British Isles, established agriculture throughout the Township as many of their descendants continue to do. Settlers' Ghost Golf Club is the third "settler". "Ghost" refers to the first two groups, who may be gone, but are not forgotten. Our name was born out of respect for the area. It creates a veiled vision of the past, and our logo carries a mystique that silently beckons you to know more. The golf course speaks for itself.

Shaarei Shomayim (Toronto)

Shaarei Shomayim Congregation, located in North York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a Modern Orthodox synagogue, located within the community eruv. The synagogue membership is approximately 700 family members. The current Senior Rabbi is Sam Taylor. The Rabbi is Elliot Diamond. History The congregation was first established in 1928 at 563 Christie Street. Its original name was the Hillcrest Congregation. The congregation moved to 840 St. Clair Avenue West in 1937, beginning, as many congregations both Jewish and Christian have done, by constructing a basement space, today the social hall, but first used as a worship space. The building was finally completed in 1947. The congregation moved to its present building, 470 Glencairn Avenue, in 1966. Around 2005, the mechitza in the building's sanctuary was raised; the wood-and-glass mechitza now rises 48 inches (120 cm) above the women's section. Around 2010, part of the building was renovated. In 2013, the sanctuary, main lobby and banquet hall were renovated, creating the Sharp Sanctuary. In 1980, Machzikei B'nai Israel Synagogue (the Dovercourt Shul) merged with Shaarei Shomayim bringing with it the McCowan Street Cemetery.

Shaarei Tzedec

Shaarei Tzedec Congregation (also known as the Markham Street Shul) is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 397 Markham Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Shaarei Tzedec congregation was founded in 1902 and is the westernmost of the three Orthodox synagogues left in Downtown Toronto. In 1912, a number of families left Shaarei Tzedec, then on Centre Street, in a dispute over burial rites, and formed a new congregation, Chevra Rodfei Sholem, commonly known as the Kiever Shul. Shaarei Tzedec has been located in a converted Victorian semi-detached house on Markham Street, near Bathurst Street and College Street, since 1937. The Markham Street Shul is one of the few remaining synagogues and the last remaining Orthodox shtiebel of what were once dozens of small congregations in the area around Kensington Market, Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street - which was a vibrant Jewish area prior to World War II. Shaarei Tzedek, Anshei Minsk, and the Kiever Synagogue are the only historic Orthodox congregations remaining of at least 40 that existed in downtown Toronto in the early 1930s. First Narayever Congregation on Brunswick Street, a liberal egalitarian synagogue, is the only other remaining shtiebel in the area. References External links Congregation Shaarei Tzedec
Shannonville Motorsport Park

Shannonville Motorsport Park is a motorsport road course circuit in Canada. It is located 15 km (9.3 mi) east of Belleville, Ontario, roughly midway between Toronto and Montreal, Quebec, near Highway 401 and along the former Provincial Highway 2. It has many configurations, and its tight layout with much run-off space makes it a very good venue for race testing. Many race teams from Toronto and Montreal test at Shannonville in preparation for events held on street circuits, as the Shannonville raceway shares a lot of the same characteristics. The raceway first started off as a dirt oval, with bedrock for a front straight. Much later, the 1.800 km (1.118 mi) "Nelson" circuit was built, named after the late John Nelson, owner of the circuit at the time. From there, the 2.230 km (1.386 mi) "Fabi" circuit was built north of the Nelson, and the two were linked to form the 4.030 km (2.504 mi), 14-corner "Long Track". The Fabi circuit was named after Bertrand Fabi, a young Canadian driver who died while testing a Formula Three car in England. The Fabi circuit has a long backstraight that now doubles as a drag strip. A link was then made after the first corner on the Nelson circuit to the seventh corner of the Long Circuit, creating the 2.470 km (1.535 mi) "Pro Circuit" layout. Currently, the Canadian Touring Car Championship makes an annual visit to the facility, as well as auto-racing body CASC (Regional Road Races) and the Canadian Superbike Championship. Drag racing is also heavily featured there. Lap records As of October 2024, the fastest official race lap records at the Shannonville Motorsports Park are listed as: Fatalities On May 21, 2000, Glenn Schauble was killed, mid-pack, after losing control during a celebratory wheelie, while crossing the finish-line. This was his second Superbike race as a professional. He flipped over backwards at the checkered flag on the front straight, fell off his bike, a Yamaha YZF-R1 1000, and was hit by several riders following in a tight pack. Schauble suffered fatal head and neck injuries. The accident happened at the end of the Pro Superbike race, during a R.A.C.E. (Racing Associates Canada Events) Ontario Superseries meeting held at Shannonville. A computer sciences student, Schauble was in his first year as a pro racer. He had been promoted to pro status after winning championships in two of the three classes in which he competed in 1999 (Amateur Formula Race and Amateur open). On September 24, 2000, Schauble's "best friend" Frank Wilson, Jr., also crashed at Shannonville on his regular Yamaha R6, in what he had intended to be his last race after seeing his friend Schauble die earlier that year and contemplating retirement. With the Canadian title already locked up for that season prior to that race, Wilson succumbed to his injuries at Kingston General Hospital. The incident happened after Wilson exited the pits for the 600 class warm-up lap. He crashed in Turn 2 of the Pro track in a single bike situation presumed to be due to highsiding on cold tires.

Sheraton Hamilton

The Sheraton Hamilton Hotel, opened on August 15, 1985, is a 19-storey, 76 metres (249 ft), 299 room hotel in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Situated on King Street West, East of Bay Street North, the hotel is part of the Lloyd D. Jackson Square complex. The hotel has 1,200 square metres (13,000 sq. feet) of meeting space, and direct connections to TD Coliseum, the Hamilton Convention Centre/Ellen Fairclough Building and Lloyd D. Jackson Square. In September 2008, the hotel underwent about $10 million in renovations, and changed ownership to local developer Darko Vranich and his Burlington-based company, Vrancor Group. Peregrine Falcon Conservation at Sheraton Hamilton Hotel In 2024, the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel became the nesting site for peregrine falcons, a species previously at risk. Early in the year, a pair of falcons named McKeever and Judson, who have been residents since early 2022, were observed with new eggs. The Hamilton Community Peregrine Project noted the arrival of the first egg in March, which set a record for the earliest sighting of a peregrine falcon egg at this location. As of late April 2024, the falcons successfully hatched four chicks, contributing to the ongoing recovery of the peregrine falcon population. This event marks another successful year for the project, which has been monitoring and supporting falcon populations from the 18th-floor ledge of the hotel for nearly three decades.

Sherbourne Common

Sherbourne Common, designed by landscape architect Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg, is a waterfront park located in a former industrial area of Toronto. It is one of the earliest parks in Canada to incorporate a neighborhood-wide stormwater treatment facility into its design. Located east of Lower Sherbourne Street, the 1.47 hectare park spans two city blocks. It stretches from Lake Ontario to Lake Shore Boulevard in the north. A Waterfront Toronto project, Sherbourne Common consists of a 240 meter long water channel featuring three art sculptures that rise nine meters, called "Light Showers", by artist Jill Anholt. The sculptures were made off-site utilizing reinforced fiberglass molds that were filled with agila concrete. In total, there are 182 planted trees, 108 Pacific Sunset Maple, 45 Red Oak, and 29 American Beech. The storm water treatment facility is located in the basement of the park’s Pavilion designed by Teeple Architects Inc . The plant treats the water and then returns it into the park through the three art installations. Sustainability best practices This Toronto park follows through on water efficient landscaping, while at the same time Pavilion meets Toronto's Green Building Requirements and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Storm-water treatment facility in the Pavilion is powered by the renewable energy sources. Purified water is pushed through three concrete public art objects, each 9 metres high, into the man-made water feature e.g. canal. Excess purified water is released into Lake Ontario. The park has bicycle storage and access to public transportation. References External links Official website
