Hiawatha First Nation

Hiawatha First Nation (formerly Mississaugas of Rice Lake) is a Mississauga Ojibwe First Nations reserve located on the north shore of Rice Lake east of the Otonabee River in Ontario, Canada. It is found in Otonabee Township less than 15 kilometres south of the centre of Peterborough. Its name derives from the Iroquois Confederacy co-founder Hiawatha. This First Nations reserve consists of approximately 1,952 acres (7.90 km2) of land of which 1523 are under certificates of possession. History Indigenous peoples occupied this area for thousands of years before European contact. Nearly 2000 years ago, people of the Point Peninsula complex built a series of earthen mounds for ceremonial, religious and burial purposes. Archaeological excavations have shown the people had sophisticated knowledge to build the massive earthworks. Nine mounds or burial places have been located at the south end of the park. Serpent Mounds Park includes an effigy mound, four to six feet high and nearly two hundred feet long, with a related egg-shaped mound by its mouth. Population In 2006 the population was 483, a 62.6% increase since 2001. There were 195 private dwellings. Indian Reserves Indian reserves assigned to the First Nation are: Hiawatha First Nation Indian Reserve, 6 km southeast of Peterborough 868.20 ha. Islands in the Trent Waters Indian Reserve 36A, in Peterborough County, comprising islands in Pigeon, Buckhorn and Stony Lakes. 139.60 ha. - this reserve is shared with 2 other First Nations.

Hidden Valley Resort

Hidden Valley Resort (also known as HV) is a holiday resort in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, about 225 kilometers (140 mi) north of Toronto. It is situated on one shore of Peninsula Lake, which is also home to the nearby Deerhurst Resort. Hidden Valley is currently operated by Sequel Hotels and Resorts – previous owners include Best Western and Holiday Inn – who, in early 2006, completed a C$500,000 renovation project. Along with a 100-room four-star resort hotel, Hidden Valley boasts two pools (one indoor and one outdoor), a fitness centre and meeting rooms; a variety of water sports on the lake, which include windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, pedal boats, and swimming; tennis courts, beach volleyball and horseshoe pits; Birches, a value-priced restaurant, focusing on creativity; and an expansive sandy beachfront. The resort also includes three rows of townhouse-style, semi-detached condominium blocks (making up approximately 80 units in total). Each block contains up to four single residences, which are stacked into four-storey buildings, other than the lakefront properties. Each individual unit generally occupies two storeys of a building, and has its own entrance. While the condominium units share the same amenities with the patrons of the hotel complex, these units are no longer owned by the hotel, but rather are privately owned and rented. During the winter months (December–March, as conditions allow), the Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area, established in 1965, is open for downhill and cross-country skiing and snowboarding. The region has a maximum vertical drop of 327 ft (100 m), with a top elevation of 1,276 ft (390 m). The area consists of four ski lifts and thirteen trails – four rated Green Circle (beginner), four Blue Square (intermediate), three Black Diamond (advanced), and two Double Black Diamond (expert). As well, there are locations for tobogganing and ice skating, and snowmobile trails available. Nearby attractions include 36 holes of championship golf at the Deerhurst Lakeside and Deerhurst Highlands golf courses, and Algonquin Park.

High Commission of Brunei, Ottawa

The High Commission of Brunei Darussalam in Canada is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood at 395 Laurier Avenue East in the historic building known as Stadacona Hall. History Stadacona Hall was built in 1871 by a local lumber baron, John Cameron. He did not reside in the house long himself, but rented it out to other notables. The first tenant was the Speaker of the Senate of Canada, Joseph-Édouard Cauchon. The building was named by Cauchon's wife after Stadacona, the First Nations name for their native Quebec City. It then became home to Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald and his family, who lived there from 1878 to 1883 before moving to Earnscliffe. It later became home to other prominent individuals, including Sir Frederick Borden and William Rowley. After World War II, it was purchased by the Kingdom of Belgium and became the residence of the Belgian ambassador. In 1995, downsizing led them to put it on the market for $1.7 million. It was bought by the Government of Brunei Darussalam, which uses the building as its High Commission.

The South African High Commission in Ottawa is the High Commission of South Africa in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 15 Sussex Drive in the New Edinburgh neighbourhood of Ottawa. Directly across the street from the embassy is 24 Sussex Drive the official residence of the Prime Minister of Canada. East of the High Commission is 7 Rideau Gate, Canada's official guest house for visiting dignitaries. Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada is also nearby at 1 Sussex Drive. The building was constructed for James Stevenson, the Bank of Montreal's representative in Ottawa, in 1841. In 1867, it was purchased by Moss Kent Dickinson an industrialist and mayor of Ottawa and then by the South African government in 1944. Throughout its history the building went through a number of renovations, two additions under the supervision of architect W.E. Noffke in 1920 and 1947 as well as a renovation by Peter John Stokes from 1964 to 1965. During the apartheid era, the mission was the scene of frequent protests. Following South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Nations in 1961, its status changed from High Commission to Embassy, and there was pressure within Canada to end diplomatic relations with the country. With the end of apartheid in 1994, South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth and in April the following year, the first black High Commissioner, Billy Modise, was appointed. A former leader of the African National Congress Youth Wing, Modise spent 31 years in exile after fleeing South Africa in 1960. The current High Commissioner is Rieaz Shaik.

Hillary House and Koffler Museum of Medicine

Hillary House, the Koffler Museum of Medicine is a Gothic Revival house and a museum in Aurora, Ontario, Canada. Built in 1862, it is recognized by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board as one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Canada. The building contains a collection of medical instruments, books, papers, household furnishings, and equipment dating from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century. It has been owned by the Aurora Historical Society since 1981 and is open to the public as Hillary House, the Koffler Museum of Medicine. History Four doctors have lived in Hillary House with their families. They worked from home; operating their medical practice out of the dispensary and consulting room located in the front of the house. The doctors also spent a significant amount of time travelling to the homes of their patients via horse and buggy, serving Aurora and the surrounding area. Each doctor became an important part of the fabric of the community, and the Hillary family descendants would live in the home for over 100 years. 1862 – 69: Hillary House is built for Dr. Water Bayne Geikie, b. 1830 in Scotland, d. 1917. Lived in the house with his wife Miriam Woodhouse (m.1854), and his 4 children. 1869 – 76: Dr. Frederick William Strange, Surgeon Lieutenant-Colonel to the Royal Regiment of Canadian Infantry (b. 1844 in England, d. 1897). Lived in the house with his wife, Esther Rose, and daughter who died at age 3. 1876 – 1894: Robert William Hillary (b. 1832 in Ireland, d. 1894). Lived in the house with his wife Annie Fry (d. 1904) and their 7 children. 1894: Robert Michael Hillary acquired property from the mortgage holders. Married Edith Mussen 1895 and lived in house with their 9 children. Nora Hillary, daughter of Robert Michael, would live in the home until 1993. Architecture In the 18th century, a growing spirit of Romanticism and interest in the Medieval past led to a revival of Gothic styles in Britain. The style made its way to Canada in the early 19th century. As the style became accepted and popular, architects became more willing to experiment and modify its conventions. Gothic Revival spread throughout the country, appearing on buildings of all types, from civic buildings to churches to rural homes such as Hillary House and ultimately becoming part of Canadian Nationalism. Hillary House, completed in 1862, has many elements of the Gothic Revival style which was widely used in Canada at the time. These elements include a highly vertical emphasis on the structure; ornate decorations on the gables and bargeboards; the incorporation of classic Gothic trefoil forms; and lancet windows and door frames. These features are found on the exterior of the home and throughout the interior; appearing on staircases, wainscoting and more. The building’s architecture was the cause for its designation as a National Historic Site in 1971.

Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton

Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton is a significant Hindu temple in the Gloucester section of Ottawa. For the first time, a Hindu temple in Eastern Ontario in 1985. The temple is located on Bank Street in the rural area to the south of urban Ottawa, south-east of the airport. The site, previously a cornfield, was purchased for the temple in 1984. The $4 million structure, funded by donations made by Canadian Hindus, was officially opened in 1989. It serves the estimated 6,000 Hindus who live in Ottawa, as well as acting as a community and cultural centre for the community with halls, libraries, and other resources. The temple follows traditional Hindu architectural styles, though compromises had to be made to adapt to the cold and weight of snow accumulation. The temple has nine shrines: Ganesha, Kartikeya, Krishna with Radha, Shiva, Lakshmi with Narayana, Rama with Sita and Lakshmana with Hanuman, Durga, Hanuman, and Nataraja. The effort to build the temple was by Pandit Madhu Sahasrabudhe, a food science researcher who had also served as a priest in the city since 1960. Until his death in 2004 Sahasrabudhe also played an essential role in the community. He is the chair of the Capital Region Interfaith Council. In 2002, he led prayers at a multi-faith thanksgiving event with the Queen in attendance. He frequently appeared as part of the Ottawa Citizen's panel of local religious leaders.

Marten River Provincial Park

Der Marten River Provincial Park ist ein 4 km² großer Provinzpark in der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Der Recreational Park liegt im Nipissing District südlich des Lake Temagami, 56 km nördlich von North Bay am Ontario Highway 11. Bei dem Park handelt es sich um ein Schutzgebiet der IUCN-Kategorie II (Nationalpark). Innerhalb der Klassifizierung der Provinzparks in Ontario wird der Park als „Recreation Park“ eingestuft. Geschichte Die Cree zogen zu einem nicht bekannten Zeitpunkt in die Region. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts begannen Holzunternehmen die ausgedehnten Wälder (vor allem Weymouth-Kiefern (‚White Pines‘)) abzuholzen. Heute steht nur noch eine einzige 300 Jahre alte Weymouth-Kiefer im Park. Die Cree Nation of Mistissini, die bereits im benachbarten Québec lebt, und die etwa ab den 1930er Jahren aus Nitchequon, Neoskweskaau und einigen wenigen Nemaska hervorgegangen waren, nutzte ebenfalls die Region, etwa zum Fischen. Aktivitäten Im Park befindet sich ein rekonstruiertes Holzfällerlager aus der Zeit um 1900, einschließlich eines Museums, hinzu kommen ein Besucherzentrum und ein Campingplatz mit 216 Stellplätzen.
