Kanata Theatre

Kanata Theatre (informally known as KT) is a community theatre organization, operates the Ron Maslin Playhouse, a 350-seat theatre located in the Kanata district of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was opened in May 1996 by Merle Nicholds, then the mayor of Kanata. The Building was designed by Peter Smith, who also designed the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. They stage 6 plays a year including and annual family musical. History In 1968, Kanata Theatre began as a play reading group in a sleepy bedroom community. At that time the town consisted of only a handful of houses, one public school, two gas stations, a post office and an A&P grocery store. In 1993 several major developments brought the dream of having their own performance venue closer to reality. The group conducted a feasibility study that convinced the members to spend Kanata Theatre's $300,000 reserve fund on a playhouse project. On Kanata Theatre's initiative, the City of Kanata allocated roughly half of its new federal/provincial infrastructure funding to that project, set aside land at Walter Baker Park, and gave Kanata Theatre the right to manage the building under a lease. By the spring of 1994 the project was under way. Peter Smith of the firm of Lett/Smith, Governor General's award winner for his restoration of London's Grand Theatre, designer of Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre, and long time architect for the Shaw Festival, was chosen to design the building. Kanata Theatre took possession of its new home in March 1996 and in May of that year staged its first production in the Playhouse, Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. The move to the Playhouse was followed by a large increase both in the group's membership and its audience. In 2001 the Playhouse was expanded by the addition of a rehearsal studio, postponed for budgetary reasons from the original construction, an expanded lobby and other facilities. Kanata Theatre covered the entire cost of this expansion. Production history Location The theatre is located at 1 Ron Maslin Way, near the Queensway (Highway 417) on the western side of Kanata, just off Terry Fox Drive. There is public parking and bus access by OC-Transpo. Performances Genres presented include musical theatre, theatre, dance. Funding Funding for the construction for the theatre came from Kanata Theatre's own building fund. Funding also came from a federal-provincial infrastructure grant, while the then City of Kanata provided the site. Organization Kanata Theatre is a member-based all-volunteer organization. All performers and staff are volunteers with an interest in theatre, including box office, ushers and other front of house duties to the stage crew, stage lighting and sound. 40th Anniversary Season In celebration of Kanata Theatre 40th anniversary, Kanata Theatre was given the honor of hosting the 2009 Theatre Festival at the Ron Maslin Playhouse. The Visiting theatre groups from across Ontario were presenting their best productions each evening from May 13 to 16, with an Awards Brunch on May 17. External links Official website

Lakeshore Collegiate Institute

Lakeshore Collegiate Institute (also referred to as LCI or Lakeshore) is a high school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built in 1951, Lakeshore Collegiate is a merger of New Toronto Secondary School and Alderwood Collegiate Institute. It is situated on the northwest corner of Kipling Avenue and Birmingham Street in Ward 3 of the Toronto District School Board. It serves the New Toronto, Long Branch, Alderwood, and Mimico neighbourhoods. History New Toronto Secondary School was originally established on September 4, 1951 by the New Toronto Board of Education to serve the town of New Toronto and emphasized the technical trades, sciences, and mathematics, to support the many industries in the town at the time. The school's roots go back to 1926 when Long Branch Continuation School was established as an extension of an elementary school with six classrooms. The vocational program began in 1950 and students moved to the new high school the following year. Another school in the area, Alderwood Collegiate Institute was also opened on September 6, 1955, with the official opening ceremony November 1955 as an academic high school. During the 1980s, enrollment at Etobicoke public schools plummeted as many catholic transferred their children to the Catholic school system when full funding commenced. This led to the closure of many schools including Alderwood Collegiate Institute, Royal York Collegiate Institute and Mimico High School. The students of those schools were consolidated with the students of New Toronto into the newly named Lakeshore Collegiate Institute which opened on September 6, 1983.

Leaside Towers

The Leaside Towers are the tallest buildings in the East York district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They are a twin set of Brutalist-style apartment towers, with one facing north-south, and another facing east-west. Located at 85 and 95 Thorncliffe Park Drive near Overlea, it is the tallest building in East York prior to amalgamation. With a structural height of 129 m (423 ft) and both towers having 43 floors, it was once the tallest apartment towers in the Commonwealth and in Canada. Construction concluded in 1970. Located along the perimeter of E.T. Seton Park, they provide panoramic views of Toronto's skyline, Don Valley and Don River. Mechanical All suites within the two towers include seasonal central air-conditioning, and heating provided through a 4-pipe fan coil unit. A mixture of water and glycol is chilled to approximately 4 Celsius through water cooled centrifugal chillers located in the basement's utility room of both towers. A mechanical pump circulates the liquid through chilled water risers extending the length of the building before branching out into separate cooling circuits for the individual fan coil units located in every unit. The chillers use municipal water to cool their condensers. Cooling water exchanges its heat from atmospheric air using three evaporative cooling towers fitted on ground level, south of 95 Thorncliffe Park Drive. In colder months, a natural gas fired boiler located in the mechanical penthouse of 95 Thorncliffe Park Drive heats the water-glycol mixture before it is circulated through the risers, and subsequently, fan coil units in every suite. The hot and chilled liquid risers, along with the rest of the building are insulated with polyurethane foam insulation as part of a case study completed by the architect. In order to minimize the unwanted consequences of the stack effect during winter and summer months, the entrance to the towers feature an air-lock created by revolving doors. Notable residents Bruce McArthur, serial killer who murdered eight men from 2010 to 2017. Arrested by police on January 18, 2018 after a raid on his unit on the 19th floor of 95 Thorncliffe Park Drive. William Dennison, Canadian politician and former Mayor of Toronto.

It is a Government of Ontario-operated maximum-security correctional facility for adult male inmates serving a sentence of up to 2-years-less-a-day, and individuals who have been remanded into custody while awaiting trial. It is built on the site of the former Mimico Correctional Centre, which closed in 2011 and whose origins dated back to 1887. The Toronto South Detention Centre officially opened on January 29, 2014 replacing the Toronto Jail, the Toronto West Detention Centre, and the demolished Mimico Correctional Centre. Facilities The facility consists of two parts; A maximum-security building that can house up to 1,650 remanded accused awaiting trial, and a medium-security building, known as the Toronto Intermittent Centre (TIC) that can house up to 320 inmates serving primarily weekend or other intermittent sentences. The maximum-security building is the first in Ontario to be constructed from prefabricated concrete cells that can be stacked with a minimal support structure. Designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects, the modular cell units were built and shipped from Tindall Corporation facility in Atlanta, Georgia. History On May 9, 2008, the then Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services announced plans to build a new, larger correctional centre on the site of the Mimico Correctional Centre, which would replace the Mimico Correctional Centre, the Toronto (Don) Jail, and the Toronto West Detention Centre. The existing correctional centre closed on December 5, 2011, and Phase 1 of the new facility, the 320-bed Toronto Intermittent Centre began accepting prisoners on December 9, 2011. The old correctional centre buildings were then demolished to make room for Phase 2 of the Toronto South Detention Centre, which was completed in November 2012. The Toronto South Detention Centre (Phase 2) officially opened on January 29, 2014. Operational problems The facility is currently, as of June 2015, operating at half capacity with approximately 800 inmates. Nevertheless, due to staffing shortages, lockdowns have been more frequent than in other provincial jails occurring each weekend and frequently during the week as well and the centre's infirmary and gymnasium have remained closed since the facility became operational in 2014. The facility's mental health assessment unit did not become operational until after two inmates died in custody in February 2015, one by suicide and another due to a drug overdose. Notable inmates Peter Nygard - Finnish-Canadian fashion designer was incarcerated there while awaiting his trial for sex crimes. Top5 - Canadian rapper released from custody in 2024 after he was cleared of murder charges stemming from a 2021 shooting.

Navy Hall

Navy Hall is a wooden structure encased within a stone structure that was the site of Upper Canada's (Ontario's) first provincial parliament, from 1792 to 1796. It is a unit of Fort George National Historic Site located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, then known as Newark, Upper Canada. It sits on Ricardo Street near the shore of the Niagara River, near Fort George, and across the river from Fort Niagara. The original Navy Hall was built as naval establishment in 1765 by Royal Naval Commanders. It consisted of a small shipyard, docks, stores and residences, and was a local supply depot, as well as a trans-shipment point for posts on the upper Great Lakes. During the American Revolution, the Provincial Marine wintered at this complex. In 1792, John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, converted one of the buildings into his residence and office. In 1792, the first parliament in Upper Canada met in a tent near this site. The first session to sit in Navy Hall was on September 17, 1792. The next year, Simcoe decided to move the capital to York, Upper Canada (now Toronto), a site less vulnerable to attack from the United States. While the first purpose-built Parliament Buildings were being constructed there, Newark continued to serve as the seat of government until 1796. After Parliament left, the building was used as a dining hall by officers from nearby Fort George. Destroyed by U.S. artillery fire in the War of 1812, some of the fort's buildings were re-built by the British, and today's Navy Hall is the only one remaining of that reconstruction. Originally a wooden storehouse, it was built shortly after the War of 1812, and became a barracks for British troops in 1838, during the Rebellion of 1837–38. It served as a medical commissary during World War I for Canadian troops at what became Camp Niagara, a site preparing soldiers for overseas service. During the 1930s, it was moved to its present site by the Niagara Parks Commission and encased in stone. The current building is managed by Parks Canada as part of Fort George, one of several national historic sites in the region which fall under the administrative umbrella 'Niagara National Historic Sites'. Navy Hall is rented for private functions, but generally closed to the public due to staffing shortages. It houses artifacts from its more than 200 years of history. Located across the street from Fort George, it invites visitors to read outdoor interpretive displays, view the Simcoe Memorial monument, and enjoy the tranquility of its parkland views of the Niagara River and Fort Niagara in New York. Parking is available at the site, convenient for visitors or those embarking on a steamboat excursion, which departs from a nearby dock.
