Talbot Gardens

The Talbot Gardens is a hockey arena in the Canadian community of Simcoe, Ontario. Opened in 1946, Talbot Gardens played a role in filling a need for ice hockey in North America, in addition to other sports that could be played indoors during the summer months. Summary Certain hockey games pertaining to the former Simcoe Shamrocks were broadcast on Community Cable Channel 5 during the weekends. During the 1990s, the arena was given a facelift to look more like Maple Leaf Gardens (the former home of the Toronto Maple Leafs). Thus, the architecture was re-arranged and the arena received a new coat of paint. Local sponsors (most notably Tim Hortons) have always decorated the scoreboard in addition to the interior of the hockey arena. Roller hockey is a featured attraction in the summer and is played by children as a practice game for the winter ice hockey games. Hockey season at Talbot Gardens typically lasts from September 1 (just before Canadian Labour Day) to April 15. Part of the arena is also home to a preschool, which replaced the Campbell Clark Preschool. On September 12, 2012, Talbot Gardens was the venue for the construction dispute involving the renovation of Ontario provincial Highway 3 from Simcoe to neighboring Delhi. A mixed-gender charity hockey game has become a Family Day tradition at Talbot Gardens, allowing spouses to play alongside each other in a non-competitive environment.

Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto

The Anne & Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto (Hebrew: האקדמיה העברית ע״ש טננבאום), also known as CHAT or TanenbaumCHAT, is a private Jewish high school in Toronto, Ontario, established in 1960. As of 2012, it was the largest private high school in Canada. A second campus of TanenbaumCHAT existed from 2000 to 2017 in the York Region, known as the Kimel Family Education Centre. History The Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto was founded in 1960 by the Associated Hebrew Schools of Toronto, in whose building CHAT was initially housed, to meet a long-standing need for a comprehensive Jewish high school for students graduating from Toronto's junior Jewish day schools. The founding of the Academy was fraught with controversy, as community leaders struggled to develop a guiding philosophy that would respect various ideologies within the Jewish community. The first Grade Nine class had only three pupils, but subsequent classes grew to full enrolment. CHAT moved to the former Wilmington Public School facility owned by the Toronto District School Board in 1979. In September 2000, a second campus, called CHAT Richmond Hill, was opened on Wright Street in Richmond Hill to serve students living north of Steeles Avenue. In June 2006, it was announced that the school would be renamed the Anne & Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto (TanenbaumCHAT), in honour of a large gift from the estate of Dr. Anne Tanenbaum. TanenbaumCHAT's north campus moved in September 2007 to the Lebovic Jewish Community Campus on Bathurst Street in Vaughan. The Wilmington Avenue location was renamed the TanenbaumCHAT Wallenberg Campus after Raoul Wallenberg in May 2008, after a school-wide vote, but that name was dropped after the amalgamation of the two campuses in September 2017. On March 6, 2017, it was announced that the northern campus would close and consolidate with the Wallenberg Campus at the beginning of the September 2017 school year. In 2023, amid the Gaza war, the school received two bomb threats, and three people were arrested outside the school after threatening students. Feeder patterns Jewish day schools that feed into TanenbaumCHAT include Associated Hebrew Schools, Bialik Hebrew Day School, The Toronto Heschel School, The Leo Baeck Day School, Robbins Hebrew Academy, and Netivot HaTorah Day School. TanenbaumCHAT offers a New Stream program for students who have come from the public school system or who did not otherwise previously attend a Jewish elementary school.

Thomas D'Arcy McGee Building

The Thomas D'Arcy McGee Building, at 90 Sparks Street, is an office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located on the south side of Sparks Street, east of Metcalfe. The building was opened in 1981 with the Royal Bank of Canada as its main occupant and accordingly it was named the Royal Bank Centre. As with many Ottawa office buildings it also became home to a number of federal government offices. In March 2001, the building was purchased by the federal government for 66 million dollars. The next year, it was renamed after Father of Confederation Thomas D'Arcy McGee, who was assassinated in 1868 near the site of the building. It is still RBC's Ottawa headquarters and the bank's logo remains on the structure. On October 31, 2007, the Building was sold to Larco Investments Limited on a leaseback arrangement good for 25 years. The bottom two storeys contain a shopping complex. The site was once occupied by a row of stores including hat maker and retailer R.J. Devlin Limited, which later operated as Morgan's. References
Meridian Arts Centre

The Meridian Arts Centre is a performing arts venue in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It opened on October 16, 1993, as the North York Performing Arts Centre and was designed by Canadian architect Eberhard Zeidler for musicals, theatre productions and other performing arts. At opening, North York awarded management of the centre to Livent, which sold the naming rights in 1994 to Ford Motor Company of Canada. It became the Ford Centre for the Performing Arts. Later, it debranded as the Toronto Centre for the Arts. In January 2019, TO Live (formerly Civic Theatres Toronto, a City of Toronto agency which manages and operates the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Toronto Centre for the Arts, and the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts) announced a new sponsorship deal with Meridian Credit Union, which saw the theatre rebranded in September 2019. Facility The building originally housed three theatres: the Main Stage Theatre with 1,727 seats, the George Weston Recital Hall with 1,036 seats, and the multi-purpose, 200-seat Studio Theatre. When Livent declared bankruptcy in 1998, the City of Toronto government assumed control of the facility. The Main Stage was home to Dancap Productions' Canadian production of Jersey Boys from August 2008 until August 2010. Prior to Jersey Boys, the facility was the home of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Boulevard in 1995 and a 1993 production of Show Boat that transferred to Broadway. After Dancap ceased operation, the centre had difficulty finding enough tenants for the Main Stage, and began a series of renovations from 2014 to 2016 that divided the Main Stage into two smaller theatres. The Greenwin Theatre seats 296 and was built on the original stage and backstage areas, while the remainder of the original auditorium became the Lyric Theatre, seating 576 and featuring LED backlit acoustic panels that can change colour with the lighting design.

Центр искусств Торонто

Центр искусств Торонто (англ. Toronto Centre for the Arts), также известный, как Фордовский центр исполнительских искусств (англ. Ford Centre for the Performing Arts) — центр исполнительских искусств в бывшем городе Норт-Йорк (ныне часть Торонто) в Канаде. Был открыт в 1993 году как Центр исполнительских искусств Норт-Йорка. Здание центра спроектировано канадским архитектором Эберхардом Зейдлером и представляет площадку для мюзиклов, театральных постановок и других исполнительских видов искусства. На время открытия центр принадлежал корпорации Ливент, которая в 1994 году продала право на название центра компании Форд Мотор в Канаде. Первоначально на территории центра находились три сцены: главная сцена на 1727 мест, зал для репетиций Джорджа Уэстона на 1036 мест и многоцелевая театральная студия на 200 мест. Когда в 1998 году «Ливен» обанкротилась, управление над центром перешло к городским властям Торонто. На главной сцене с августа 2008 года по август 2010 года шёл мюзикл «Парни Джерси» производства канадской компании Данкап-Продакшн. До этого в 1995 году здесь шёл мюзикл «Бульвар Сансет» композитора Эндрю Ллойда Уэббера, а в 1993 году мюзикл «Театральный пароход» с бродвейской труппой. После завершения сотрудничества с Данкап-Продакшн центр испытывал трудности с поиском арендаторов для главной сцены и проделал серию ремонтов с 2014 по 2016 год, которые разделили основную сцену на два небольших театра. Театр Гринвина на 296 мест был построен на месте сцены и кулис главной сцены, оставшаяся часть которой — бывший зрительный зал стала Лирическим театром на 576 мест. Последний был оснащён акустическими панелями со светодиодной подсветкой, которые автоматически могут менять цвет. Примечания Ссылки Toronto Centre for the Arts (англ.)
Меридіан Артс Сентр

Центр мистецтв «Меридіан» (англ. Meridian Arts Centre) — майданчик для проведення театральних та музичних виступів, розташований у районі Норт-Йорк у Торонто (провінція Онтаріо, Канада). Історія Центр мистецтв «Меридіан» відкрився 16 жовтня 1993 року як Центр виконавських мистецтв Норт-Йорка (North York Performing Arts Centre) і був спроєктований канадським архітектором Ебергардом Зейдлером для постановок мюзиклів, театральних вистав та інших видів виконавського мистецтва. Після відкриття влада Норт-Йорка передала управління центром компанії Livent, яка у 1994 року продала права на назву канадському філіалу Ford Motor Company, після чого комплекс отримав назву «Форд Сентр виконавських мистецтв» (Ford Centre for the Performing Arts). Згодом він змінив назву на «Торонтський центр мистецтв» (Toronto Centre for the Arts). У січні 2019 року агенція TO Live (колишня Civic Theatres Toronto — муніципальна агенція Торонто, яка керує та забезпечує роботу Центру мистецтв Сент-Лоуренс, Торонтського центру мистецтв та Центру виконавських мистецтв «Соні») оголосила про нову спонсорську угоду з кредитною спілкою Meridian Credit Union, у результаті якої у вересні 2019 року було проведено ребрендинг театру. Опис комплексу та залів Будівля спочатку вміщувала три зали: Головну сцену (Main Stage Theatre) на 1727 місць, Концертний зал імені Джорджа Вестона (George Weston Recital Hall) на 1036 місць та багатофункціональний Студійний театр (Studio Theatre) на 200 місць. Коли компанія Livent оголосила про банкрутство у 1998 році, контроль над об'єктом перебрала на себе міська влада Торонто. На Головній сцені з серпня 2008 року по серпень 2010 року проходили покази канадської постановки мюзиклу «Хлопці з Джерсі» (Jersey Boys) від компанії Dancap Productions. До цього, у 1995 році, на майданчику ставили мюзикл Ендрю Ллойд Веббера «Бульвар Сансет» (Sunset Boulevard), а у 1993 році — виставу «Плавучий театр» (Show Boat), яку згодом перенесли на Бродвей. Після того, як компанія Dancap припинила свою діяльність, центр зіткнувся з труднощами у пошуку орендарів для Головної сцени. Через це з 2014 по 2016 рік було проведено серію реконструкцій, які розділили Головну сцену на два менші зали. Театр «Ґрінвін» (Greenwin Theatre) на 296 місць було збудовано на місці оригінальної сцени та залаштунків, тоді як решта початкового глядацького залу перетворилася на Ліричний театр (Lyric Theatre) на 576 місць, оснащений акустичними панелями зі світлодіодним підсвічуванням, які можуть змінювати колір залежно від світлового оформлення вистави.

Uxbridge station (Ontario)

Uxbridge is a former railway station in Uxbridge, Ontario, that was part of the now defunct York–Durham Heritage Railway. The station building, constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1904, is owned and maintained by the Township of Uxbridge and has been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. History The Toronto and Nipissing Railway originally built a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge line in the late 1860s, with service between Toronto and Uxbridge commencing in 1871. In late 1880 the line was converted to standard gauge and soon after this, due to financial reasons, was sold to the Midland Railway in 1881. The line was then firstly leased to the Grand Trunk Railway in 1884; eventually purchased by them in 1894; and finally transferred to Canadian National Railways in 1923. Grand Trunk constructed the current station building in 1904, with its distinctive "witch's hat" roof, to replace the more basic shed structure that had previously been used. The Township of Uxbridge bought the railway station from CN in 1988 for $1.00. Due to the poor state of repair of the roof and the cost of renewal, closure of the heritage train station was discussed by the Township of Uxbridge Council in 2013. It was noted that the structure is important to the community and it is the only train station in Ontario with a witch's hat style roof that is being maintained in relatively good shape. North of Uxbridge to Lindsay the line was abandoned in the early 1990s becoming part of Trans Canada Trail. That southerly section of trackbed was purchased by GO Transit to prevent abandonment and disposal, because Metrolinx has long term plans to expand service on the Stouffville line to Uxbridge. The York–Durham Heritage Railway reopened the line to the south between Uxbridge and Stouffville in 1996, but ceased operations in 2024. Current status The GO Transit Uxbridge Terminal for GO Transit buses is located along Railway Street near the station building. Durham Region Transit buses also stop here. The Township of Uxbridge makes the former the train station "available for short-term rental opportunities and supporting tourism initiatives". The township wants to include the train station and rail yard in its Downtown Revitalization Plans. Metrolinx, the owner of the rail line, convinced the township not to revive heritage rail operations due to potential liability and oligations.
