Central Park (Ottawa)

Central Park es un parque del centro de Ottawa, Canadá. Se localiza en el barrio de The Glebe, justo al sur del Queensway y de Centretown. Consta de dos partes, Central Park East y Central Park West, divididas por la Bank Street. Al sureste del parque se encuentra una zona ajardinada, alrededor del riachuelo Patterson Creek, que crea una extensión continuada de verdor por todo el Canal Rideau. En sus orígenes, todo el parque estaba en el área alrededor del Patterson Creek. En los años 1890, se comenzaron los trabajos de acondicionamiento de la zona. Se construyó la Clemow Avenue, bloqueando el riachuelo y creando espacio libre para la construcción del parque. Las obras acabaron en 1907. En la década de los 60, la ciudad propuso extender la Carling Avenue a través del parque hasta el canal, lo que causó descontento entre los ciudadanos y condujo a la creación de la Glebe Community Association, una asociación de vecinos. Al final, esta proposición fue rechazada. Enlaces externos Foto de satélite de Google Maps

Central Post Office (Ottawa)

The Central Post Office is a historic building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The building was completed in 1939, replacing a Second Empire style office built in 1876. This original office was located in what is today Confederation Square, and was demolished in order to construct the grand public space. The new office was designed by W.E. Noffke, it is located on the western edge of the square at the end of Sparks Street. The new site required the demolition of the Royal Bank of Canada building (built originally for James Hope and Company). The office combines the distinctly Canadian Chateauesque style with Art Deco elements. It is noted for the decorative carved lions arranged around its base. The Central Post Office is currently home to offices for the Privy Council of Canada, with a Canada Post post office on the main floor. References "Sparks Street a peoplewatcher's paradise."

Central United Church

Central United Church is a historic congregation of the United Church of Canada located in the community of Weston, now a neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1821 (1821), the church has occupied the same site on Weston Road in Toronto since then. The congregation began as part of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a forerunner of both the Methodist Church of Canada (1884) and the United Church of Canada (1925). The first church building, a log structure, was erected in 1821, followed by a larger brick church constructed in 1849. The present building, dedicated in 1887, and built in the Gothic Revival style, has been altered and updated on several occasions, but retains the landmark tower. The tower includes examples of abat-sons. The church was one of the final projects of William Henry Mallory Sr., architect. The congregation has a unique musical heritage. The organ, constructed by Casavant Frères, was dedicated in 1950 as a memorial to members of the congregation who gave their lives in the Second World War. The Chancellors, a youth choir active from 1968 to 1980, produced five record albums and toured extensively. The congregation has been served by several notable clergy, including Egerton Ryerson, historian George Playter and E.A. Pearson, the father of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. Today, the church is well known for outreach into the community through the Weston King Neighbourhood Centre. The Centre provides meals, education and advocacy. WKNC The Weston King Neighbourhood Centre (WKNC) has operated in the basement of the church since 2001. The charity offers hot meals daily (except Sundays), and also free groceries donated to the church. The charity also has multiple services on offer to those in need of help or support.

Centre Block

Het Centre Block (Frans: Édifice du Centre) is het hoofdgebouw van het Canadees Parlement en is gelegen op Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. Geschiedenis Eerste gebouw In 1859 werd er begonnen met de bouw van het eerste parlementsgebouw dat was ontworpen door architect Thomas Fuller en zijn vrouw Chillon James. Op 1 september 1860 werd de eerste steen gelegd door kroonprins Albert Eduard van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Na zes jaar werden de eerste vergaderingen van het Canadees Parlement in het gebouw gehouden. Het steenwerk van het eerste gebouw was versierd met gebladerte, beeldhouwwerken van (mythische) beesten en de emblemen van Frankrijk, Engeland, Schotland en Ierland. Het gebouw was verder voorzien van hoektorens en pirons en met als grote blikvanger de Victoria Tower. Na de vorming van de Canadese Confederatie breidde het land zich uit met grote nieuwe gebieden en ten gevolge daarvan werd tussen 1906 en 1914 het Centre Block verder uitgebreid om ook ruimte te kunnen bieden aan de vertegenwoordigers van de nieuwe provincies. Op 3 februari 1916 brak er een grote brand uit in de leeszaal van het parlementsgebouw. Het parlement, dat die avond zitting had, wist zich in veiligheid te brengen. Binnen twaalf uur wist de brand heel het gebouw te vernietigen. Slechts de Library of Parliament bleef overeind staan. Slechts een parlementariër kwam tijdens de brand om het leven: Bowman Brown Law. Herbouw Vrijwel onmiddellijk begon men met de herbouw van het parlement. Het ontwerp was afkomstig van John A. Pearson en Jean-Omer Marchand die zoveel mogelijk zich hadden vastgehouden aan het oorspronkelijke ontwerp, maar ditmaal ook met toevoegingen in de stijl van beaux-arts. Op 1 september 1916 werd de eerste steen gelegd door de toenmalige gouverneur-generaal, Arthur van Connaught en Strathearn. Gedurende de bouw van het parlementsgebouw hield het parlement zitting in het Canadian Museum of Nature. Op 26 januari 1920 kwam het parlement voor het eerst bij elkaar in het nieuwe Centre Block dat geopend werd door gouverneur-generaal Victor Cavendish. Er werd echter nog steeds gewerkt aan verschillende kamers en gangen die voorzien werden van decoratieve elementen. Het gebouw werd officieel voltooid op 1 juli 1927. Recente geschiedenis In de loop van de twintigste en eenentwintigste eeuw was het gebouw enkele malen het toneel van mislukte terreuracties. Op 18 mei 1966 blies Paul Joseph Chartier zich bij het toilet af en hierbij kwam alleen hij om het leven. Charles Yacoub kaapte een bus van Greyhound en reed die naar Parliament Hill waar de gijzeling van de reizigers in bus aanhield tot dat Yacoub zich overgaf. Ten slotte was het Centre Block de locatie van een schietpartij op 22 oktober 2014 die twee levens kostte. Galerij

O lançamento da pedra fundamental ocorreu em 20 de dezembro de 1859. Contudo, a profundidade dos alicerces havia sido alterada pelos arquitetos para mais 17 pés. Ainda assim, em 16 de abril do ano seguinte, foram colocadas as primeiras pedras coloridas. Em 1860, Eduardo, Príncipe de Gales chegou em Ottawa, como parte de suas visitas oficiais ao Canadá e colocou a pedra angular no prédio ainda em construção. Em 1866, os parlamentares reuniram-se pela primeira e única vez naquele prédio. Em 1 de julho de 1867, foi oficialmente instituído o Canadá, com Ottawa como capital nacional e o Centre Block foi remodelado e expandido para abrigar o Parlamento e os gabinetes das províncias de Alberta e Saskatchewan.

The Centre on Barton

The Centre on Barton is an outdoor shopping centre in the Lower City of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The centre is located on Barton Street East bounded by Ottawa Street North in the western-end and Kenilworth Avenue North on the eastern-end. It was formerly known as the Centre Mall and before that, the Greater Hamilton Shopping Centre. It was a "plaza" for many years before being closed in as a "mall" and access to the stores was available through a front and back door of the plaza. In 2008, the mall was rebuilt back to an outdoor shopping centre. Some long time residents were not happy about the change from an indoor mall to an outdoor plaza, complaining that in the winter they now have to go outside to get from store to store, and navigating from store to store more difficult in general year round. History The Greater Hamilton Shopping Centre was built in 1955 and was one of the first shopping malls in North America. Before the 2008 reconstruction project, the mall had 1 floor (two of the anchor tenants had 2 floors). The present-day Centre on Barton used to be the site of the Hamilton Jockey Club Racetrack but in the years after the Second World War the push for Hamilton's eastward expansion had completely engulfed the Jockey Club property. On September 26, 1952, the racetrack was sold. The site then became the Greater Hamilton Shopping Centre. 2008 Reconstruction project The Centre Mall owners announced the plans for a 23-building power centre, named The Centre on Barton, on the property of Barton Street East. The cost had originally been estimated to be around the $100-million mark and the project eventually took up 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) of retail space. This was the largest redevelopment project in the history of Hamilton's east-end. The buildings on the property are grouped around the edge of the property and create a pedestrian-oriented design rather than a commercial island in a sea of parking. The overhaul roughly took about two-and-a-half years to complete but the bulk of the work had been done by the end of the summer of 2008. Some new buildings were completed before the enclosed mall was torn down. The redevelopment of Centre Mall transformed the entire neighbourhood from Ottawa Street to Kenilworth Avenue. The $100-million investment in the mall boosted Ottawa Street North – already the city's No.1 tourist destination. The garment district became a holistic home decor destination area, with lighting, antique, design & glass stores. The Ottawa Street Business Improvement Area had the most applications and grants under the commercial property improvement program in 2007 with 33, and it had an effect on the property values and real estate activity in the district.
