Grimsby Secondary School

Grimsby Secondary School (GSS) was a secondary school in Grimsby, Ontario, Canada in operation from 1925-2022. Operated by the District School Board of Niagara (DSBN), it had a student body of approximately 700 year-to-year. Planned closure On March 28, 2017, the District School Board of Niagara voted in favour of a motion to close three high schools, including Grimsby Secondary School, in favour of a single large high school to be constructed at 5699 King Street in Beamsville. Grimsby Secondary School closed in 2022 following the 2021–2022 school year, and the new amalgamated high school, named West Niagara Secondary School, opened in September 2022. Many groups opposed the closure of Grimsby Secondary School. The Town of Grimsby, as well as the Town of Lincoln, both passed motions voicing opposition. Niagara West-Glanbrook Member of Provincial Parliament Sam Oosterhoff, himself a recent high school graduate, has also voiced opposition to the amalgamation plans, and has spoken in the Ontario Legislative Assembly in favour of a moratorium on school closures. On Wednesday, March 29, students at South Lincoln High School walked out of class in protest over the closure and amalgamation plans (which affect South Lincoln High School as well as Grimsby Secondary School and Beamsville District Secondary School). Grade inflation In 2018, the University of Waterloo revealed a formerly secret part of their engineering admissions process designed to counter grade inflation among high schools. Schools were listed based on how much their students' marks changed from high school to university; the change in marks being called the "adjustment factor". Grimsby Secondary School faced significant criticism for having the highest adjustment factor out of any high school on the list, with Grimsby students seeing their grades drop by over 27 percent, versus an average Ontario high school student who only had their marks drop 17 percent. Rebecca Judd, former student at Grimsby, said that the school didn't do enough to prepare her for university, saying that she "found that good marks were pretty effortless" at the Grimsby. The District School Board of Niagara disputed this characterization, saying that the University of Waterloo only applies the adjustment factor to 10% of Ontario schools, and that "this very small sample does not reflect the hard work of our students and teachers."

De Lesseps Field

De Lesseps Field was a small, but important airfield in early aviation in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Opened sometime before 1910, an airfield was created from three farms by engineer William Griffith Trethewey (1865–1926). The airfield was located near present-day Hearst Circle and the Wishbone on a 600 acres (2.4 km2) site in York Township (just outside Weston, Ontario). The grassy airfield was later used by French aviator Count Jacques Benjamin de Lesseps (1883–1927) and later renamed after him. The property remained in the hands of the Trethewey family after the death of Trethewey, but in 1928 Trethewey's son Fred sold it to airline Skyways Limited. de Havilland Canada established their first home here in 1928 (building a small hangar) to build Gipsy Moth and Tiger Moth aircraft, but left for Downsview in 1929. Skyways remained owners until some time after 1931 and the airline moved to the Malton Airport. The farm and airfield was later re-developed as residential housing forming what is now the residential neighbourhood called Brookhaven-Amesbury. No trace of the airfield remains in the area. Besides aircraft manufacturing, the airfield hosted air shows starting in 1910 (hosted by the Ontario Motor League). This airfield was one of many airfields in the greater Toronto area during the early 20th Century, but most of the airfields disappeared before World War II: Armour Heights Field 1917–1919 Barker Field 1927–1953 Downsview Airfield 1929–2024 Leaside Aerodrome 1927–1931 Long Branch Aerodrome 1915–1919 Toronto Aerodrome 1928–1939 Most of the airfield related buildings were temporary or converted from farm use. De Havilland's first factory was in an old vegetable warehouse because it had double doors wide enough to accommodate assembled aircraft. A larger hangar was built in 1929, but it was moved along with the aircraft manufacturer to Downsview. The later owners of the airfield, Skyways Limited, used the facilities to train pilots.

Pharmasave

Pharmasave is a Canadian independent pharmacy and drugstore retailer with over 800 stores across Canada. Pharmasave produces a line of over 700 private-label Pharmasave Brand products. History Pharmasave was created in September 1981 through the merger of two British Columbia-based pharmacy chains, United Pharmacy and Western Drug Mart. Locations Pharmasave's national office is located in Langley, British Columbia. Its stores are located in nine provinces and territories across Canada and are organized into 2 regions with each region having their own regional offices: West (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Yukon), and East (Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island). The largest Pharmasave is located in Port Hope, Ontario. Management Each of Pharmasave's stores operates independently and they range in size from small dispensaries to large-format home healthcare pharmacies. Each region has a Board of Directors as well as representation on the national Board of Directors. Pharmasave's business model is one of self-governance, where pharmacy owners are elected to serve on its regional Boards of Directors. This way, the needs of the owners are served by other owners, and not by a separate corporate entity. The success of this model has played an important part in the attracting of new members and its growing store count across the country.

Rosedale Valley Bridge

The Rosedale Valley Bridge (also called the Rosedale Ravine Bridge) is a covered arch bridge located in the northeast part of Downtown Toronto, Ontario. Built in 1966 by architect John B. Parkin (now part of Delcan Corporation), the concrete bridge carries Line 2 trains of the subway across the Rosedale Ravine. The eastern end of the Rosedale Valley Bridge is situated at the western end of Castle Frank station. The bridge itself is positioned on the north side of and almost parallel to the Rosedale section of the Prince Edward Viaduct. The viaduct opened in 1918 and had a lower deck over its entire length designed for rail transport. When the first phase of the Bloor subway line opened, its tracks utilized the lower deck of the main phase across the Don River Valley to the east as originally intended. However, since the approach curves leading to the Rosedale section would be too sharp for the trains, the dedicated Rosedale Valley Bridge was built to carry them, and the lower deck of the original viaduct's Rosedale Valley span remains unused. Although the bridge once had open skylights for ventilation, they were later covered to reduce noise to the surrounding area. It can be seen from the north side of Bloor Street, which crosses from the adjacent Prince Edward Viaduct, or from below on Rosedale Valley Road which it passes over. Other bridges Besides the Rosedale Valley Bridge and Prince Edward Viaduct, there are three other bridges that span above Rosedale Valley Road: Glen Road Bridge: a pedestrian only deck truss bridge built after the 1950s to replace a late 19th Century road bridge Sherborne Street Bridge: The original deck truss bridge was built before 1909, demolished in 1952 and replaced by the current steel beam bridge Mount Pleasant Road Bridge: deck truss bridge built in 1943 References

Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre

Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre (also known as Quantum Nano Centre, or simply QNC) is a research and development laboratory for quantum information science and nanotechnology at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The facilities are shared by the Waterloo Institute for Quantum Computing, the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology and the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo. History Construction of the QNC began on June 9, 2008; it was officially opened on September 21, 2012. Funding for the $160 million building was made possible by a $100 million donation from Mike Lazaridis (co-founder of Research In Motion, which has since rebranded as BlackBerry), a $25 million grant from the government of Canada as part of Canada's Economic Action Plan, and a mixture of private donations and university funds. Building The Quantum Nano Centre is 285,000-square-foot (25,650-square-metre) in size. It includes classrooms for instructional teaching and laboratories for research and development. The facilities operate with control for vibration, humidity, electromagnetic radiation, and temperature. Cleanroom facilities are constructed upon a separate building foundation to keep vibrations at less than a micron. The QNC is composed of two main buildings designated for the Waterloo Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN). The building for IQC is designed with outer windows of varying reflectivity to symbolize quantum superposition while the building for WIN features a hexagonal honeycomb lattice structure inspired by the hexagonal carbon structure of nanotubes. These two buildings are joined together by a six-story central atrium. The building also features convertible rooms called "mind spaces" to accommodate collaborative activities including conferences, public lectures, and meetings.
