Huronia Museum

The Huronia Museum is located in Midland, Ontario, Canada. The museum consists of the museum building (housing collections and art gallery) and the Huron/Ouendat (Wendat) village (palisade and longhouse). The museum is open year-round and has nearly one million objects and receives some 20,000 visitors each year. The collections include artifacts pertaining to native history and maritime history. The museum provides educational programmes for schools and adults. History On July 1, 1947, the Huronia Museum first opened in a large wooden frame building that had been the family residence of James Playfair, a prominent Midland businessman. The current museum building was Midland's Canada Centennial project and officially opened on July 1, 1967 in Little Lake Park adjacent to the Huron/Ouendat (Wendat) Village. Exhibits In 1976, the Historic Art of Huronia Gallery in the museum building opened and presently displays art by David Milne, Homer Watson, Manly MacDonald, Franklin Arbuckle, Hilton Hassell, Mary Hallen (Victorian era watercolours), William J. Wood, Thor Hansen, Group of Seven artists (A.Y. Jackson, Franz Johnston, J. E. H. MacDonald) along with contemporary art, native art and archaeological collections of Ouendat and Ojibway First Nations. Other exhibits are about Georgian Bay lighthouses, shipwrecks, maritime and military heritage. There is also an extensive photographic collection of the work of Midland's long-time professional photographer, John W. Bald. Huron Village The Huron Village represents what Huron life was like between AD 1500-1600, just prior to the arrival of Europeans. The village has the following components: shaman's lodge, wigwam, masks, fish racks, longhouse, corn field, bone pit, fur drying rack, burial rack. The Huron Village was created by W. Wilfrid Jury (1890–1981), Director of the Museum of Indian Archaeology and Pioneer Life at the University of Western Ontario in London. The village is modeled on Jury's work on the excavation of the pre-contact Forget site near Midland. The village originally opened in 1956. In May 2007, a fire destroyed three quarters of the village but has since reopened to the public. Affiliations The Museum is affiliated with: CMA, CHIN, and Virtual Museum of Canada.

Hurontario LRT

Линия лёгкого метро «Гуронтарио», Hurontario LRT (ранее Hurontario — Main LRT) — строящаяся линия скоростного трамвая в Миссиссоге, Онтарио, Канада. Линия будет проходить на север по улице Hurontario Street от Port Credit до границы с соседним городом Брамптон, Онтарио. Линия будет построена и эксплуатироваться в рамках государственно-частного партнерства Mobilinx, консорциума частных европейских и японских компаний, при этом провинциальное транзитное агентство Metrolinx сохранит за собой право собственности на линию. Власти городов Миссиссога и Брамптон решили, что скоростной транзит вдоль Гуронтарио необходим под двум причинам: 1) хроническая переполненность самого загруженного автобусного маршрута Миссиссоги (и пригородного района Большого Торонто), 19 Hurontario, который перевозит более 25000 пассажиров в день; 2) многочисленные предложения застройки высокой плотности вдоль коридора и высокие темпы роста в обоих городах. Изначально предлагались три варианта: легкорельсовый транспорт для всего коридора, скоростной автобусный транспорт для всего коридора или их комбинация (скоростной автобусный транспорт к югу от центра города Миссиссога и автобусный экспресс к северу от него). После трех общественных информационных сессий жители обоих городов отдали предпочтение легкорельсовому транспорту по всей длине коридора. Строительство началось в 2020 году, и планируется, что линия будет введена в эксплуатацию осенью 2024 года.

Tom Thomson Art Gallery

Die Tom Thomson Art Gallery befindet sich in Owen Sound, Ontario, Kanada, und ist eine öffentliche Kunstgalerie, die dem Leben und Werk des kanadischen Malers Tom Thomson (* 5. August 1877 in Claremont, Ontario; † 8. Juli 1917 in Canoe Lake im Algonquin Provincial Park) gewidmet ist. Geschichte Die Tom Thomson Art Gallery wurde 1967 eröffnet und beherbergt eine umfangreiche Sammlung seiner Werke sowie Kunstwerken zeitgenössischer Künstler, die von seiner Kunst inspiriert wurden. Die Tom Thomson Art Gallery hat sich zu einem kulturellen Zentrum entwickelt, das Ausstellungen, Bildungsprogramme und Gemeinschaftsveranstaltungen anbietet. Die Galerie besitzt mehr als 2600 Objekte, Gemälde, Arbeiten auf Papier, Fotografien, Skulpturen, Textilien, Installationen und sogar ein Kawasaki-Motorrad und über 50 Werke von Tom Thomson. Sie bietet ein Archiv mit Dokumenten und Objekten, die Tom Thomsons Leben und Schaffen dokumentieren. Sie spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Pflege von Thomsons Vermächtnis, insbesondere durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Projekten wie dem Tom Thomson Catalogue Raisonné, einer umfassenden Dokumentation seines künstlerischen Werks. Tom Thomson war ein Wegbereiter der modernen kanadischen Landschaftsmalerei. Seine Werke, die oft die wilde Natur Ontarios darstellen, beeinflussten maßgeblich die sogenannte Group of Seven, eine einflussreiche Künstlervereinigung in Kanada. Obwohl er nie offiziell Mitglied der Gruppe war, gilt Thomson als ihr geistiger Vorläufer. Er erlangte Bekanntheit für Gemälde wie The Jack Pine und The West Wind, die durch ihre kräftigen Farben und dynamischen Kompositionen bestechen. Sein plötzlicher Tod unter mysteriösen Umständen im Alter von nur 39 Jahren gibt bis heute Anlass zu Spekulationen und trug zu seiner Legendenbildung bei. Thomson ist in jeder allgemeinen kanadischen Kunstgeschichte und in den meisten Büchern über die Group of Seven vertreten. Darüber hinaus gibt es mehrere Bücher und Artikel, die ausschließlich ihm gewidmet sind. Leider hat er nur wenige Briefe geschrieben, und die einzigen Berichte aus erster Hand über ihn stammen von seinen Freunden in der Gruppe und von Kommentaren von Rangern und anderen im Algonquin Park, die ihn kannten. Ein besonderer Fokus der Galerie liegt darauf, Thomsons Einfluss auf die kanadische Landschaftsmalerei und die Künstlergruppe Group of Seven zu beleuchten, deren Mitglieder durch ihn inspiriert wurden. Gemälde von Tom Thomson befinden sich in zahlreichen Sammlungen in ganz Kanada. Die größte Sammlung seiner Werke befindet sich in der National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, der Thomsons Förderer James MacCallum 1918 zahlreiche Bilder verkaufte und 1943 seine Sammlung schenkte.

IBM Canada Head Office Building

IBM Canada's head offices are currently located in Markham, Ontario and have been there since the early 1980s. The current building IBM occupies is located at 8200 Warden Avenue and shared with existing tenant IBM Toronto Software Lab in 2001. Head office is being moved from 3600 Steeles Avenue East, which was sold in August 2024 and was completed in 1995. IBM Canada's previous head office was located across the street at 3500 Steeles Avenue East (now Liberty Centre, Markham). The building rises from four floors on the west to seven floors at the east side. There is an underground ramp that is accessible from the left-most lane on east-bound Steeles Avenue that provides access to the building's parking area at the rear. Former head offices 1920-1980s Prior to the 1980s, IBM Canada was located in a sprawling complex at Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East. There are two main buildings at this site. The building located at 844 Don Mills Road was IBM's Canada manufacturing plant and head office and opened in 1951. After many additions to this building a second building on this site opened in 1967 (1150 Eglinton Avenue East) which became the head office and software research lab. When IBM Canada's head offices relocated to Markham, Ontario from Don Mills, their old site continued to operate as a manufacturing and research facility. Both facilities are now owned and operated by Celestica, an electronics manufacturing service provider and former IBM subsidiary, as its global corporate headquarters. The Don Mills building was demolished in 2020 to pave way for major redevelopment near the Don Valley transit station. Prior to 1951, IBM Canada offices were located on 300 Campbell Avenue and Dupont Street in the city of Toronto's west end. The plant is now home to Wayspa's Canadian operations (as 298 Campbell Avenue). During this period, and well into the 1950s, the company also maintained a downtown office suite located on King Street East immediately opposite the entrance to the famous "King Eddie" Hotel.

IOOF Hall (Toronto)

The IOOF Hall in Toronto is a historic building erected for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows society. The building was designed for mix-use accommodating over 34 offices, a store selling imported and domestic cigars, and most importantly a 20’ wide by 46’ long grand hall for private meetings held by Toronto’s Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It was the first society hall in Toronto to be built with an electrically run elevator running up from the ground floor to the 3rd floor society rooms. Oddfellows’ Hall is located on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and College Street, in Toronto, ON. The building was designed as an adaptation of the Gothic Revival style by Norman Dick and Frank Wickson in 1891 and was completed in 1893. References
Ile Parisienne

Ile Parisienne ist eine unbewohnte Insel in der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Sie befindet sich am östlichen Ende des Lake Superior in der Mitte der Whitefish Bay, etwa 25 km nordwestlich von Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Die Insel ist 911 Hektar groß, 8 km lang von Norden nach Süden und 1,6 km breit an der breitesten Stelle. Das Ile Parisienne Conservation Reserve wurde durch das Ontario Public Lands Act von 2001 zum Schutz der Ile Parisienne geschaffen. Das Reservat umfasst die gesamte unberührte Insel mit Ausnahme eines 46 ha großen Privatgebiets am südöstlichen Ende und am südwestlichen Ende, wo sich der Leuchtturm befindet. Das Reservat umfasst auch eine 1,6 km lange Meereszone, die sich vom Ufer bis zur Whitefish Bay erstreckt. Die Geologie des Reservats besteht aus Jacobsville-Sandsteinfelsen aus der Zeit vor dem Kambrium, postglazialen Sand- und Kopfsteinpflasterstränden, bewachsenen Sanddünen und einzigartigen Felsbrocken. Das Reservat schützt Laichgebiete für Seeforellen und Felchen und bewahrt Lebensräume für Wasservögel, Greifvögel und Zugvögel. Es schützt auch verschiedene Feuchtgebietskomplexe und ein Super-Baldachin, der sich aus dem alten Wachstumsstatus von Weymouth-Kiefer (Pinus strobus), Schwarzfichte, Balsamtanne und weißer Birke nähert. Das Reservat wird vom Ontario Ministerium für natürliche Ressourcen verwaltet. Es gibt keine Zufahrtsstraßen für Ressourcen. Die private und kommerzielle Nutzung ist untersagt und es wurden keine Landgenehmigungen erteilt. Einzelnachweise
Île Parisienne

L'île Parisienne (anglais : Ile Parisienne) est une île inhabitée située dans la Whitefish Bay du lac Supérieur, à proximité de Sault-Sainte-Marie. Une majeure partie de l'île fait partie de la réserve de conservation de l'Île-Parisienne, une aire protégée créée en 2001. Le phare de l'Île-Parisienne, qui est situé au sud de l'île a été construit en 1911 et a été reconnu édifice fédéral du patrimoine en 1991. Géologie Le sous-sol de l'île est formé de grès de la fin du Précambrien appartenant au grès de Jacobsville (en). Le roc est particulièrement sur les récifs entourant l'île, sur les falaises de six mètres à l'ouest de l'île. Cette formation géologique est assez rare en Ontario, elle a des affleurements rocheux sur la côte est du lac Supérieur, de Sault-Sainte-Marie au parc provincial du Lac-Supérieur ainsi que sur les îles de l'est du Lac. L'île Parisienne est située sur une crête de roc submergé d'environ 30 km allant de la pointe Corbeil en Ontario à la pointe Iroquois au Michigan. La crête est accentuée par des sillons de 40 m de profondeur qui la suivent en parallèle. Cette crête et ces sillons ont été modelés par l'action de l'érosion glaciaire et post-glaciaire. L'île a été libérée des glaciers il y a environ 11 000 ans BP. L'île a ensuite été submergée par le lac Algonquin. L'île a ensuite connu plusieurs périodes de submersion et d'émergence avant d'émerger du lac pour de bon il y a environ 2 000 à 3 000 ans BP. L'île est entourée de plages résultant de l'érosion des sédiments post-glaciaire non consolidé. La côte ouest comprend des falaises de grès et de plage de sable fin alors que les plages de la côte est est composée de grain plus grossier indiquant qui la côte ouest subit une érosion plus intense. Flore Environ 40 % de l'île sont recouverts de forêts mixtes. Les espèces les plus communes sont le bouleau à papier (Betula papyrifera), l'épinette noire (Picea mariana), l'érable rouge (Acer rubrum) et le sapin baumier (Abies balsamea). Elle est aussi accompagnée d'érable à sucre (Acer saccharum), le bouleau jaune (Betula alleghaniensis) et des muskegs. Le nord-ouest de l'île est dominé par le pin blanc (Pinus strobus) et épinette noire. Le sud-ouest de l'île est dominé par le pin rouge (Pinus resinosa). Les 60 % restants de l'île sont recouverts de zones humides, en particulier de tourbière arborée. Les espèces notables de cette partie sont l'if du Canada (Taxus canadensis), le mélèze laricin (Larix laricina), la sarracénie pourpre (Sarracenia purpurea), de droséra à feuilles rondes (Drosera rotundifolia) et de calopogon tubéreux (Calopogon tuberosus).

François Baby House

François Baby House é uma residência/museu e sede da Windsor's Community Museum. A casa esta localizada na cidade canadense de Windsor. História A construção da François Baby House foi iniciada na primavera de 1812 pelo político e empresário François Baby e interrompida, poucos meses depois, devida a invasão americana da cidade de Windsor na guerra anglo-americana. Como a construção fica de frente para o Rio Detroit, foi usada como base do exército invasor. Com a reocupação da cidade pelos britânicos, François retomou a construção no inverno de 1812, com espessas paredes de tijolos e em estilo georgiano. A casa sofreu um incêndio em outubro de 1850 e com a morte François, em 1852, o imóvel foi herdado por ser filho, Edmond, que reformou, fazendo algumas mudanças estruturais. Durante o início da década de 1930, em virtude da Grande Depressão, o local ficou abandonado por alguns anos e em 1933 o comerciante e historiador amador George Macdonald entrou em contato com os herdeiros de Edmond Baby para tentar preservar o imóvel, o que foi negado. No final da década de 1930, a posse do imóvel ficou com o cidade de Winsdor em virtude de débitos com os impostos municipais e George Fortune Macdonald ficou responsável pela sua reforma e administração. Esta reforma iniciou-se somente em 1948 e durou alguns anos, muito em função das doações do conglomerado industrial fundado por Hiram Walker, a indústria de uísque Canadian Club, e em 1958 a casa foi inaugurada como um museu de história local, com a denominação de Hiram Walker Historical Museum. Na década de 1990, o museu foi renomeado para François Baby House em homenagens ao seu primeiro proprietário e atualmente é administrado pela cidade de Windsor, através da Windsor's Community Museum. O museu conta com peças e documentos históricos da localidade de Windsor, além da sua própria arquitetura, que é singular para um edifício do século XIX. Referências
