Aura (Toronto)

Aura es un rascacielos de uso mixto situado en Toronto, Ontario, Canadá. Es la última fase de una serie de nuevos condominios cerca de College Park en el distrito Downtown Yonge de Toronto. Es parte del proyecto Residences of College Park. La construcción comenzó en enero de 2010 y finalizó en 2014. Historia El diseño original propuso dos torres. El edificio habría tenido un podio de diez plantas, con dos torres. La más alta habría tenido (incluyendo el podio) 60 plantas y 196,5 m de altura. La torre más baja (incluyendo el podio) habría tenido 20 plantas y 74,5 m de altura.​ En febrero de 2012, el consejo municipal de Toronto aprobó un incremento de tres plantas a 75 pisos, lo que significa que Aura sería el edificio residencial más alto de Canadá (ya que sería más alta que el proyecto residencial Ten York, de 75 plantas).​ Arquitectura La propuesta pide una torre de metal semitransparente y ladrillo altamente templado de 78 plantas, con aproximadamente 100 000 m² de espacio residencial. Esto hace que Aura sea también el edificio residencial más grande del país. La porción residencial de la torre se construyó encima de un podio de tres plantas que contiene aproximadamente 14 000 m² de espacio comercial. La quinta planta alberga servicios del edificio, incluyendo la mayor piscina cubierta de América del Norte por volumen, y hay aproximadamente 4000 m² de otros espacios.

Kingbridge Centre

The Kingbridge Centre is a conference venue and communications facility in King City, Ontario, Canada. It was designed by Arthur Erickson and built in 1989. History Eli Hollinshead purchased a 200-acre (0.81 km2) parcel of land on December 18, 1850. On January 6, 1854, it was sold to John Peterman, who later divided it into 4 parcels, the largest being 120 acres (0.49 km2). Peterman sold the largest parcel, on which the Kingbridge Centre now stands, to William McNair for $6,000 on March 6, 1861. In 1929, the farm was sold to the Toronto company of the Girl Guides of Canada. After a series of repairs to the existing buildings, the camp was relocated to Hawkestone, Ontario. The property's main facilities were originally built in 1989 by Murray Koffler, the founder of Shoppers Drug Mart and co-founder of Four Seasons Hotels. The site was first named the King Ranch Health Spa and Fitness Resort, and it was designed as a luxury spa facility. It opened in 1989 and operated until 1992, when it fell into receivership and was repossessed by its financier, The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). Without viable economic prospects, CIBC adapted the facility to become its "Leadership Centre". In 1996, the secretive Bilderberg Group held its annual meeting here. In 2001, the site was sold to John Abele, co-founder of Boston Scientific, who transformed it into its current use as a conference centre. Upon Abele's retirement in 2021, the facility was entrusted to the Pathak Family Trust and Ekagrata Inc., with Prashant Pathak becoming its chairman. During the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, the facility was used for temporary transitional shelter for individuals to self-isolate, in a partnership with the regional government of York and the Salvation Army. Aerodrome The centre has a helipad registered in the Canada Flight Supplement under the identifier CKC3. It can accommodate helicopters up to 43.3 feet (13.2 m) long. References
Pen Centre

The Pen Centre (originally Niagara Peninsula Shopping Centre) is the largest shopping mall in the Niagara Region, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. History The Pen Centre was built in 1957 as the Niagara Peninsula Centre, a single-level, outside strip mall anchored by Loblaws and 50 retail stores and opened in 1958. In 1966, the evolution of the Pen Centre included the addition of Simpsons-Sears and 80 new stores, making the Pen Centre the fourth largest shopping centre in Canada. The mall remained as an open strip, with landscaped walkways in between. By September 1975, the strip mall was enclosed and became a climate-controlled environment at the cost of $2 million. Located next to the Highway 406, it has over one million square feet of floor space and features over 180 stores, a major department store, a supermarket, a ten-screen movieplex, and several large format anchors. Famous Players opened the first SilverCity 8-screen multiplex cinema at that location on November 7, 1997. It is now owned by Landmark Cinemas. In 2011, the mall began a $13 million renovation of the common space, including 3,600 sq. ft. of new skylights, a new food court, and floors and ceiling treatments. The renovations were completed in 2012. Target announced opening a store in the Pen Centre's former Zellers location in 2013. Just over a year later, in April 2015, Target shuttered all of its Canadian stores. Later in 2015, the location was sold to Walmart, which began construction on a newly revamped building in February 2018, and opened on August 22, 2019. Sears closed its store along with all other Canadian stores in January 2018. The former space occupied by Sears was renovated into two large format stores Sport Chek which relocated from elsewhere in the mall (opening summer 2020) and Mark's (opening early 2021) as well as numerous smaller retail spaces. In addition, Trillium College opened in the basement of this space in November 2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic environment the remainder of these retail units remain vacant.

Robert McLaughlin Gallery

The Robert McLaughlin Gallery is a public art gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest public art gallery in the Regional Municipality of Durham, of which Oshawa is a part. The gallery houses a significant collection of Canadian contemporary and modern artwork. Housed in a building designed by noted Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, the collection focuses on works by Painters Eleven, who were founded in the Oshawa studio of Painters Eleven member Alexandra Luke. History Oshawa designer William Caldwell organized a group of artists to establish a commercial gallery space on Simcoe Street North, in Oshawa. Shortly thereafter, Ewart McLaughlin and his wife (known as Alexandra Luke, a member of Painters Eleven) offered financial support and a significant collection of works to help create the foundation of a public gallery for the city. The gallery was incorporated with the name of Ewart's grandfather, Robert McLaughlin, founder of the McLaughlin Carriage Company. Collection The Robert McLaughlin Gallery's Permanent Collection numbers over 4,500 works. Dedicated to the collection, preservation, and exhibition of the best in Canada's art heritage, the gallery possesses an extensive selection of Canadian paintings, sculptures, and prints. The gallery also holds significant archives related to Painters Eleven, alongside the largest collection of works by Painters Eleven in Canada. The gallery's dedication to abstract art can be connected to Alexandra Luke of Oshawa, Ontario, an artist who had studied with Hans Hofmann in Provincetown, Mass. Luke was an exponent of abstract art, and she organized a show of all abstract Canadian art in Ontario through the South Ontario Art Gallery Circuit. This exhibition opened in Oshawa at Adelaide House in October 1952. The collection had the distinction of being the first Canadian exhibition of abstract painting to be assembled in Canada on a national scale and devoted exclusively to this art form.

Robert McLaughlin Gallery

La Robert McLaughlin Gallery ou la RMG (lit. La Galerie Robert McLaughlin) est une galerie publique à Oshawa en Ontario. Étant la plus grande galerie de la Municipalité régionale de Durham, la RMG a une collection notable d'œuvres canadiennes d'art contemporain et d'art moderne. Son bâtiment principal a été conçu par Arthur Erickson et sa collection met de l'avant les Painters Eleven, qui débutèrent dans l'appartement d'une Painters Eleven d'Oshawa, Alexandra Luke. Histoire L'histoire de la galerie débute lorsque le concepteur natif d'Oshawa William Caldwell décide d'organiser un espace commercial avec quelques collègues artistes dans le but de créer une galerie d'art sur la Simcoe Street North à Oshawa. Peu après, Ewart McLaughlin et sa femme Alexandra Luke ont décidé de donner des fonds à la ville en plus de multiples œuvres d'art dans le but de fonder une galerie publique pour la ville. La galerie a été créée peu après en le nom du grand-père d'Ewart Robert McLaughlin (en), un industrialiste et le fondateur de la McLaughlin Carriage Company. Collections La collection permanente du musée compte plus de 4 500 œuvres et est destinée à la conservation, le recouvrement et l'exposition des meilleures œuvres de l'héritage canadien. Elle est aussi une des plus grandes en matière d'œuvres des Painters Eleven. Le dévouement de la galerie à l'art abstrait est dû à son lien avec Alexandra Luke, qui avait déjà étudié sous Hans Hofmann, à Provincetown, au Massachusetts et grande interprète d'art abstrait. C'est elle qui a organisé le South Ontario Art Gallery Circuit, un circuit artistique d'art abstrait à travers l'Ontario.

Thistletown Collegiate Institute (also called Thistletown C.I., T.C.I. or Thistletown) is a public high school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The school is located at the corner of Fordwich Crescent and Islington Avenue in the district of Etobicoke. The motto of the school is "Scientia Crescat Vita Colatur" (Let knowledge grow so that life may be enriched). It is administered by the Toronto District School Board. History Thistletown's first school, made of one frame schoolhouse was opened in 1874 on the east side of Islington Av., just south of Albion Rd. It was moved eastward to Village Green in 1901. The school expanded to reflect the growth in the village. In 1947, the Etobicoke Board of Education was established and a new building was built. The school was renamed to Thistletown Middle School. Construction of the current school began in 1956, and its first students were admitted in September 1957 as Etobicoke's seventh secondary school.

Thomson Memorial Park

Thomson Memorial Park is a midsize park at 1005 Brimley Road in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the site of the Scarborough Historical Museum and includes historical houses from the 1790s that once belonged to the founding family of Scarborough, the Thomsons. More Thomson family houses are located at the northern edge of the park on St. Andrew's Road (numbers 1 and 142 have designating plaques), as well as the adjacent St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (1818) and cemetery. Located near Lawrence Avenue East and Brimley Road, the park has, among other facilities, an outdoor baseball diamond and soccer field in the north end, and tennis courts to the south. It also has picnic areas, playgrounds, wading pools, and dog parks. The park follows the West Highland Creek, a tributary of the Highland Creek, and is served by bicycle paths. There are also many paths located throughout the wooded ravines, showing a glimpse of the nature within the city. In 1956, a site north of the creek at Brimley Road was excavated and assessed by the University of Toronto. It was determined to be a Huron-Wendat village site dating to the late 1200s. The site is believed to be linked to the Taber Hill ossuary located a few kilometres east. The spot is marked by a plaque erected by the Township of Scarborough. At the time, the Reeve of Scarborough, Gus Harris, was seeking to open a museum or recreated "Indian village" as an attraction for Scarborough. Another Huron-Wendat village site was found in 2000 north of L'Amoreaux Park (North), which may also be linked to this site.

Меморіальний парк Томсона

Меморіальний парк Томсона — парк, розташований за адресою: Брімлі-роуд, 1005, Скарборо, Торонто, Онтаріо, Канада. На його території розташований Історичний музей Скарборо, а також добре збережені історичні будинки кінця 1790-х років, що колись належали родині засновників Скарборо — Девіду та Марії Томсон . Більше будинків родини Томсон розташовано на північній околиці парку на вулиці Святого Андрія. Деякі з них, зокрема будинки №1 та №142, мають спеціальні ідентифікаційні таблички. Неподалік росташувалася пресвітеріанська церква Святого Андрія (1818) та цвинтар. Розташування Парк розташований поблизу Лоуренс-авеню-Іст та Брімлі-роуд і має різноманітну рекреаційну інфраструктуру: на півночі - бейсбольне та футбольне поле, та на півдні — тенісні корти. Крім того парк має зони для пікніків, дитячі майданчики, дитячі басейни та парки для собак. Територією парка протікає річка Вест-Хайленд-Крік, яка є притокою Хайленд-Крік, вздовж якої прокладені велосипедні доріжки. Також парк пересікають безліч стежок, розташованих вздовж лісистих ярів, відкриваючи мальовничі краєвиди природи Торонто. Поселення гуронів-вендатів У 1956 році Університет Торонто провів археологічні розкопки на північній ділянці струмка на Брімлі-роуд. Було виявлено поселення гуронів-вендатів, що датується кінцем 1200-х років. Існує припущення, що воно було пов’язане з костницею на пагорбі Тейбер, що розташований за кілька кілометрів на схід. Це археологічне місце позначене спеціальною табличкою, встановленою містечком Скарборо. Відразу після відкриття поселення, голова муніципалітету Скарборо, Гас Гарріс, прагнув відкрити музей або відтворити «індіанське село» як визначну пам'ятку Скарборо. Згодом, у 2000 році, ще одне поселення гуронів-вендатів було знайдено на північ від парку Ламоро (Північ), імовірно також пов’язане з цим історичним контекстом..

Thorah Island

Thorah Island is a lake island located in the southeast portion of Lake Simcoe, approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) west from Beaverton in Ontario, Canada. The island, part of Brock Township, is approximately 1,450 acres (6 km2) in size and the land is divided mainly between wooded and wooded-swamp terrain. Some land has been cleared for farming and recreational purposes but much of the agricultural land has fallen into disuse and has grown over. Centre Road runs from the east side of the island to the west side but is not much more than a dirt path. A small harbour exists on the east side of the island, directly across from Beaverton Harbour. There are several sandy beaches on the west side of the island, but most of the island's shore is rocky. Thorah as well as three other islands in Lake Simcoe were ceded by the Chippewa people in 1856 to the British Crown on the agreement that the land would be sold and the proceeds invested for the descendants of the ceding chiefs. Following this sale William Napier made the first survey of the island in 1856. Thorah was originally used as a recreational destination in the late nineteenth century by a group of four businessmen from Toronto who came to the island to camp and fish. The island currently (2005) has a seasonal population of 147 that include several descendants of the original group. Today the island is used by the Honey Bee Research Centre at the University of Guelph as an isolated mating station for the Buckfast Bee lines maintained by the research centre. The island was also named Canise (or Kanise) Island by Governor John Graves Simcoe in 1793 to honour a local native chief by that name. In the above-mentioned treaty between the natives and the British the island is known as Plum Island. Neither of these names is in popular use today.
