St. Andrew's Market and Playground

St. Andrew's Playground is a small park in downtown Toronto. It is located at the 450 Adelaide Street West, at the northwest corner of Brant St and Adelaide. It has a playground for children and an off-leash area for dogs that is surrounded by a short fence, with an accessible water fountain for pets, children, and adults. A Heritage Toronto plaque in the northwest corner describing the history and significance of the park was installed in 2007. History In 1834 the land was planned as a square under the 'New Town Extension' and in 1837, this city block was set aside for a public market, the third of its kind after the St. Lawrence Market and the St. Patrick's Market. The market was built in 1850 and named "St. Andrew's Market" after its city ward. It served as an important commercial centre for what was then Toronto's west end. A fire in 1860 destroyed the first market buildings. They were replaced in 1873 by the much larger St. Andrew's Hall and Market, designed in Renaissance Revival style. The building housed a police station, a community hall, a public library branch, as well as the market sellers of fresh produce and butchers. In the 1870s, St. Andrew's Market began to lose some of its relevance as a commercial hub. In 1889, an addition was added, however, by 1900 the market stalls were mostly empty. The buildings were demolished in 1932, and replaced by a waterworks building (housing offices, warehouse, and workshops) designed by City Architect James John Woolnough. The southern section of the Market was used as a public park since the 1880s, becoming "St. Andrew's Playground" in 1909, "the first City of Toronto property dedicated to, and equipped for supervised children's play." In 2009, the St. Andrews Market was partly revived through a weekly outdoor farmers' market operated by Farmers’ Markets Ontario which occurred on Saturday mornings from early June to late October at Adelaide and Maud Streets, in a parking lot alongside the park. However, due to low attendance and resulting lack of vendor interest, the market did not return the following year. The Waterworks building redeveloped into a mixed-use residential, commercial, and public building. Most of the existing building repurposed into a 55,000-square-foot food hall and other uses (YMCA), and 13 floors of apartments are to be built above. The Waterworks building is a registered heritage building. It is an example of an Art Deco inspired building. As part of the redevelopment, the building site has been sold to a private developer. The food hall opened in June 2024. See also St. Lawrence Market St. Patrick's Market References External links Heritage Toronto

St. Barnabas, Apostle and Martyr Anglican Church

St. Barnabas, Apostle and Martyr Anglican Church is an Anglican church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition at 70 James Street (at Kent Street) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. History St. Barnabas has been an Anglo-Catholic parish in the Anglican Communion since its inception in 1889 in Stewarton. The church, which opened in 1931, was designed by architect Colin M. Drewitt in a combination of Byzantine style and Romanesque style. Highlights include the roof beam, the triptych above the high altar, the Lady Chapel, the shrines of Our Lady and of St. Barnabas, the baptistry, the Nativity painting by Norbert Chapdelaine, the Stations of the Cross, the stained glass windows and the 1897 Casavant Frères organ. Organ In 1958, an Electropneumatic organ, built by Hill, Norman and Beard (England), was installed in the gallery at the “west” end of the church. The instrument of two manuals and 20 stops was dedicated on October 25, 1958. In 1982, the organ was rebuilt by Francois Caron. The console was replaced (the surround being retained), new wind chests were installed and a large amount of new pipework was added, bringing the specification to 29 stops. The new organ was blessed and dedicated on October 24, 1982, as a memorial to those members of the congregation who gave their lives in two world wars. During the 1982 rebuild, the organ case was expanded to incorporate new pipework, and reconfigured so as to not obscure the rose window above it. In mid-October 1982, the organ was installed. It was blessed and dedicated on October 24, 1982, the Feast of Dedication, by the Rt. Rev. E.K. Lackey, Bishop of Ottawa, as a memorial to those members of the congregation who gave their lives in two world wars. In 1995, the organ case was beautified by stylistic wooden mouldings and countless hours of careful hand-painting. The original swell box mechanism, retained from the Hill, Norman and Beard instrument was replaced in summer 1997. In 1998, all of the pipework was removed and shipped to Montreal for cleaning, adjustment and revoicing by Sylvain Brisson. There was a rededication of the organ at Solemn Evensong and Benediction on the Feast of Dedication, October 18, 1998. Events The Church was included amongst other architecturally interesting and historically significant buildings in Doors Open Ottawa, held June 2 and 3, 2012.

St. Catharines General Hospital

The St. Catharines General Hospital was a general hospital established in 1865 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, serving the Niagara Region. First established as a general and marine cottage hospital, it moved to Queenston Street in 1870. The hospital closed on March 24, 2013 after the new Niagara Health System St. Catharines site opened on Fourth Avenue. Reuse of property In 2017, Oakdale Inc. purchased the property. Demolition of the hospital commenced in 2019 and was completed in 2020. Some parts of the hospital, such as the decorative arch, were preserved for reconstruction due to their historical value. Bricks from the hospital were sold and the proceeds were donated to the Lincoln County Humane Society. During the demolition, underground tunnels and an underground swimming pool were discovered. One tunnel was connected to a church; another appeared to go underneath Queenston Street, but was covered with bricks. As of 2024, a mixed-use 1,131-unit building is planned to be built but this project has been delayed. See also Welland House Hotel References
St. Charles College (Sudbury)

St. Charles College is a Catholic high school in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. Opened in 1951 as an all-boys school, St. Charles College has approximately 1,000 students as of 2024, from grades 7 to 12, and is part of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board. The school motto is "Goodness Discipline and Knowledge" and is based on the Basilian motto, Bonitatem et disciplinam et scientiam doce me, which comes from Psalm 119 of the Bible, - Teach me good judgement and knowledge: for I believe your commandments. History St. Charles College was opened in conjunction with the Basilian Fathers of Toronto on September 5, 1951, as an all-boys school which was located at the former Children's Aid Society shelter at 258 Pine Street in downtown Sudbury. By the 1980s, the number of students attending the school had started to outgrow the amount it was able to handle. In 1986, the school was temporarily moved to Garson in the building of the former Garson-Falconbridge Secondary School. By 1993, the school had yet again outgrown the capacity of the school building, displayed by the 14 portables set up outside the building. Following negotiations with the school board which involved many other schools, the college moved to the building of the Nickel District Secondary School, also becoming a co-educational school in the process via a vote by board trustees on February 15, 1993. In 2015, the school was expanded in the form of a new wing to accommodate grades 7 and 8 into St. Charles College. Controversies On April 30, 2020, the Canadian Supreme Court rejected an appeal from the Basilian Fathers of Toronto to deny payment of nearly $2.5 million including $500,000 in punitive damages, to sex abuse victim Rod MacLeod. MacLeod, who was previously awarded this compensation by a jury in April 2018, was sexually abused by former St. Charles teacher Father William Hodgson Marshall. when he was a student at St. Charles in the 1960s. In 2011, Marshall pled guilty to committing abuse he committed in Sudbury and other Catholic high schools in Windsor and Toronto between 1952 and 1986. MacLeod's case was profiled in the 2019 documentary film Prey. In late June 2022, a teacher from St. Charles College, Michael Zanier, 56, was charged with two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference involving minors. Following further investigations, on August 25, the Greater Sudbury Police charged him with an additional five counts of sexual assault and five counts of sexual interference related to complaints of inappropriate behavior and touching involving students under the age of 16. The police indicated that there might be other survivors, urging them to come forward and report any incidents.

St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral

St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral is an Antiochian Eastern-Orthodox cathedral in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 2975 Riverside Drive just east of Mooney's Bay, south of the Hog's Back Falls. The pastor of the cathedral is Fr. Nektarios Najjar. History The congregation was founded in 1929 by immigrants from Kfar Mechki, Lebanon. They originally worshiped in a church downtown, that is today St. Elijah's Housing. In part due to the Lebanese Civil War the Antiochian Eastern-Orthodox population of Ottawa increased dramatically in the 1970s and 1980s and the congregation began to look for a larger home. The land was purchased in 1975, and the church was built from 1990 to 1992. In 2000 it was consecrated as a cathedral. The Diocese of Ottawa today covers Eastern Canada and Upstate New York. Vesper services is usually held on Saturday evenings. Sunday morning consists of matins at 8:45 AM, followed by the divine liturgy. The annual Ottawa Lebanese Festival is held on the Cathedral Grounds every July and draws Lebanese and non-Lebanese alike from all over Ottawa. The cathedral has many active groups including the Sunday School, Teen SOYO youth group, Young Adults Ministry, the Fellowship of St. John the Divine, and the Antiochian Women.

St. Elijah's Housing

St. Elijah's Housing is a building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Originally a church, it is currently a block of 40 residential apartments. The site at Lyon Street and Maclaren Street in the northwest of Centretown was originally home to a Pentecostal congregation. It was purchased by Antiochian Orthodox Lebanese immigrants who opened the St. Elijah Antiochian Orthodox Church in 1931. The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1949; the current Byzantine structure was erected to replace it. With the Lebanese Civil War Ottawa saw an influx of Antiochian Orthodox immigrants. The congregation thus decided to move to a larger structure on Riverside Drive. The building was sold in 1989 to a partnership of the local Anglican Diocese and CCOC, the Centretown Citizens (Ottawa) Corporation, a non-profit housing trust. In the Anglican half of the structure are twenty apartments for homeless women. In the CCOC portion there are twenty bachelor apartments. The conversion of the church into apartments while retaining the building's exterior character received a City of Ottawa Heritage Award. References
