Forks of the Credit Provincial Park

Forks of the Credit Provincial Park, located in Caledon, Ontario, Canada, is part of the Ontario Parks system and is part of the Niagara Escarpment biosphere. The park is on the Bruce Trail. The Credit River runs through the park. Other notable features of the park include a kettle lake and talus slope. History In 1968 the Niagara Escarpment Study recommended that a park be established in the Forks of the Credit area; this recommendation was then accepted by the Government of Ontario. It was officially regulated as a provincial park in 1985. Historic mill and dam There has been a mill in the area since 1820. In 1885, John Deagle bought the mill at the top of the falls and converted it into an electrical generating station, damming the river and creating Cataract Lake; he named the enterprise The Cataract Electric Co. Ltd. Later the station was purchased by Ontario Hydro and was eventually shut down in 1947. The dam was later destroyed and the lake drained. The ruins of the mill and powerhouse are located within the park; The ruins of the Deagle mill are the most visible reminders of the history. Bailey Bridge In 1999 the Canadian Army's 2 Field Engineering Regiment (now 32 Combat Engineer Regiment) built a pedestrian Bailey Bridge along Meadow Trail and refurbished with new decking in 2016. Railway station The Credit Valley Railway reached the area in 1879 and built a station at the Forks of the Credit as well as a timber trestle spanning the Credit River. The primary purpose was shipping Credit Valley sandstone to other communities in Ontario, particularly Toronto and Hamilton, where the product was used in the construction of large buildings such as Queen's Park and the original Toronto City Hall. No remnants of the station remain. References External links Official website

Freiman Mall

Freiman Mall (French: Mall Freiman) is an enclosed shopping arcade between Rideau and George Streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, east of Sussex Drive and west of William Street. The adjacent Hudson's Bay department store abuts the Freiman Mall on both its north and south sides, and can be accessed from the Freiman Mall interior in downtown Ottawa. History The current location of the Freiman Mall was once a public street called Mosgrove Street, located immediately to the east of the Freimans department store which was adjacent to the ByWard Market and the former Metropolitan department store. The street was later renamed Freiman Street after the department store and its founder, Archibald Jacob Freiman. The Freimans department store was acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in 1972 and rebranded as an outlet of the company's (then) "The Bay" chain. In conjunction with the development of the Rideau Centre across the street, the City of Ottawa agreed in 1981 to close Freiman Street and to lease the land to the HBC for a term of 99 years in exchange for the construction of an enclosed, public pedestrian passageway connecting Rideau Street to George Street and the ByWard Market, to be open 24 hours per day. Under the terms of the lease, HBC was entitled to install three kiosks related to its store within the new Freiman Mall. The company and the city would share operating and security costs, with the city's share based on the proportion of public (non-retail) floor area and the amount of time the mall would be open past the store's operating hours. The Freiman Mall was officially opened by Ottawa mayor Marion Dewar on May 12, 1983, at which time a commemorative plaque was unveiled within the mall honouring A. J. Freiman and his family. In order to reduce the city's share of the operating and security costs, the lease was amended in 1992 to allow HBC to encroach into the Freiman Mall with its merchandise displays, as long as a minimum 6.1-metre (20 ft)-wide public passageway was maintained. So as to reduce security costs, the lease amendment also allowed the company to close the Freiman Mall during a portion of the night. References

Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility

The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility is a GO Transit rolling stock maintenance facility located in the Willowbrook Yard in Toronto, Canada. The facility is west of Mimico station and is across the main tracks from the VIA Rail Toronto Maintenance Facility. Alstom performs train maintenance at the facility on behalf of Metrolinx, the owner of GO Transit. History The Grand Trunk Railway created the Mimico Yard in 1910 west of its Mimico station on the west side of Royal York Road. The yard had a locomotive roundhouse and facilities to maintain and repair freight cars. Freight trains were assembled and dispatched from the yard. In 1923, the Canadian National Railway (CN) took over the yard along with the Grand Trunk Railway. In 1965, CN moved most of the yard's functions to the then-new MacMillan Yard in Maple, Ontario. In the mid-1960s, GO Transit was looking for a site to store and maintain its commuter trains. Thus, GO Transit subsequently acquired the portion of the Mimico Yard on the north side of the mainline passing through it. (Via Rail acquired the portion south of the mainline for its Toronto Maintenance Facility.) Since the GO Transit yard was near Willowbrook Road, the yard was named the Willowbrook Yard. The Mimico station building was taken over as a dispatching office and crew facilities, and a new Mimico GO Station was constructed on the east side of Royal York Road. In September 1978, work started to construct the $17-million Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility. The depot officially opened on November 7, 1980. By April 2021, GO Transit had installed 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) of guard rails and warning lines along the roof edges of the seven buildings at the depot. These were to protect workers who maintain heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units and other electrical and mechanical equipment mounted on the roofs. HVAC units run 24/7 and keep the air in buildings clean and safe for workers such as for those working near locomotive engines. Facilities The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility is located on a 18,600 m2 (200,000 ft2) site and features: 12,000 m2 (130,000 ft2) service and maintenance building Diesel shop for maintaining four to six locomotives Coach shop with a drop pit to lower vehicles for ease of maintenance Semi-automatic wash bay designed to handle tall passenger coaches Bay for regulatory inspections and preventative maintenance, performed on an eight-day cycle. Control centre General administration office Fuelling station for up to four locomotives filling at a rate of 200 gallons a minute Storage yard for 21 trains As of 2021, the depot works around the clock to service, clean and fuel 28 trains each day.
