Hilton Niagara Falls Tower 2

Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel and Suites' North Tower is a skyscraper-style hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It was originally slated to rise 58 floors to a height of 177 metres (581 ft), but the building was subsequently reduced to 53 floors as verified by the hotel operator themselves and the new height has never been publicly released. It has, however, clearly surpassed the Embassy Suites as tallest building in Niagara Falls and still has more than 500 rooms. It is also the tallest hotel in Canada. The CTBUH lists the building as being 581 feet tall and still having 58 floors. Frommer's has stated the floor count at 59. Skyscraperpage lists the building as being 162 m (531 ft) tall with 53 floors. A visual floor count of the building yields only a total of 49 or 50 stories. The actual height is easily verified using Google Earth's measurement tools, and is 162 m (531 ft).

Hog's Back Bridge

Hog's Back Bridge is an asymmetrical swing bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Located at the intersection of Mooney's Bay and the Hog's Back locks, it crosses the Rideau Canal and carries 2 lanes of Hog's Back Road and a sidewalk. The swing bridge operates from May to October when boats exceeding 9 feet (2.7 m) in height need to pass via the canal underneath. The bridge is hydraulically controlled. Two wedge cylinders secure the bridge and raise the overhanging edge in place at road level. When the bridge is to be opened, four barriers are lowered to block traffic from entering the bridge deck. The cylinders are withdrawn which lowers the bridge down onto a circular rail track. This movement also takes the weight of the bridge off of the west side bearings. Once the limit switches sense the wedge cylinders are fully retracted, the bridge is pivoted. The hydraulic power unit has 2 main pumps which can be run independently or together, and one small backup pump to be run off a generator if need be. The bridge was closed for extensive rehabilitation from August 2019 to October 2020. Despite the repairs, the bridge had to be closed two separate times between June and July 2021 due to issues with the hydraulic system. References

InterContinental Toronto Centre

The InterContinental Toronto Centre is a hotel located in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is part of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre complex on Front Street West in the former Railway Lands. The hotel is managed by InterContinental Hotels. The hotel was constructed by the Canadian National Railway, and opened in 1984 as L'Hôtel.

It was operated by CN Hotels until 1988, when that chain merged with Canadian Pacific Hotels. The hotel property was transferred from CN to Canada Lands Company and CP Hotels assumed management. InterContinental Hotels Group took over management in 1993 and the hotel was renamed Crowne Plaza Toronto Centre.

Ireland Park

Ireland Park is located on the shores of Lake Ontario on Éireann Quay, adjoining the Canada Malting Silos, at the foot of Bathurst Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Officially opened in the summer of 2007, Ireland Park commemorates the estimated 38,000 Irish who left Ireland during the Great Famine and the over 1,100 new immigrants who died during the Typhus epidemic of 1847. The park was designed by Irish- Canadian architect Jonathan Kearns. He designed it to be an emotional and evocative place calling up long-lost memories of destitute ancestors who arrived in Canada from Ireland with hopes for a new life in a new land. The park features oak trees, a cylinder of stacked glass that symbolises as a beacon of hope, and five bronze sculptures created by Irish sculptor Rowan Gillespie. The sculptures mirror a similar Famine Memorial in Dublin at the Custom House Quays. The figures in Dublin represent The Departure, with Toronto's sculptures representing The Arrival. The Hamilton Spectator described the work as follows: "The early immigrants are now honoured at the Toronto waterfront park by five haunting bronze statues created by Irish sculptor Rowan Gillespie...One figure depicts a man lying on the ground, emaciated; another shows a pregnant woman clutching her bulging stomach, while behind her a meek child stands wide-eyed. One frail figure is bent over with hands clasped in prayer, contrasted by a man whose arms are extended to the sky in salvation." The park has a limestone wall imported from Kilkenny with the names of those who died in the 1847 typhus epidemic including Bishop Michael Power. The park was officially opened during a ceremony on June 21, 2007, which featured the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, Toronto Mayor David Miller, and the Chairman of the Ireland Park Foundation, Robert Kearns. Mary McAleese described the park as "a memorial that links Ireland and Canada in a very, very powerful way, and brings that story right into the 21st century." The area surrounding the park has seen the creation of a pedestrian promenade along the waterfront and the restoration of the adjacent Canadian Malting Silos. In 2009, a film entitled Death or Canada featured Ireland Park and the typhus epidemic of 1847 and how it impacted the city of Toronto. The Chairman of Ireland Park, Robert Kearns, is a featured contributor.

Ismaili Centre, Toronto

The Ismaili Centre, Toronto is a Jama'at Khana (place of worship) for the Shia Ismaili Muslim community as well as a space for social, educational and cultural activities and is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Completed in 2014, it is the sixth Ismaili Centre in the world. Situated in a park that it shares with the Aga Khan Museum adjacent to the Don Valley Parkway in North York, the Centre represents the permanent presence of the Ismaili Muslim community. Construction and development This Ismaili Centre is situated along Wynford Drive in Toronto's Don Mills neighbourhood. It is visible from the adjacent Don Valley Parkway, and shares a 6.8-hectare (17-acre) site with the Aga Khan Museum. The two buildings are surrounded by a landscaped park. In November 2002, the Aga Khan Foundation acquired the site and announced plans to demolish the Bata Shoes Head Office in order to construct it. The Ismaili Centre had its foundation ceremony on May 28, 2010. The ceremony was performed by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Aga Khan, together with the foundation of the Aga Khan Museum and their shared park. Construction of the $300 million development finished in 2014, and represents a significant addition and shift in the landscape of Toronto's cultural institutions. The building was opened by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan on September 12, 2014. Architecture The Ismaili Centre, Toronto was designed by Indian architectural firm Charles Correa Associates in collaboration with Toronto-based Moriyama & Teshima Architects. A distinguishing feature of the building is the glass roof of the prayer hall, which recalls the corbelling in many of the traditional domes in the Muslim world. The glass dome, which represented a difficult technical challenge, is made of two layers of high-performance glass, and fritted (made porous) to deflect the heat of the sun. A clear sliver of glass facing east toward Mecca will run down the translucent roof. Park The Ismaili Centre is set in a landscaped park, composed of both formal and informal gardens. Designed by Lebanese landscape-architect Vladimir Djurovic, the park connects the Centre with the adjacent Aga Khan Museum. Djurovic described his vision for the park as one that "captures the essence of the Islamic garden and translates it into an expression that reflects its context and contemporary age." Designed to suit the climate of Toronto, the gardens capture the beauty of the four seasons. The park also provides space for educational programming, outdoor gatherings, as well as offering areas for tranquility and relaxation.
