Sturgeon River (Lake Nipissing)

The Sturgeon River is a river that springs near Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park in the Timiskaming District in Ontario, Canada. It flows 230 kilometres (140 mi) in a mostly south-easterly direction through Sudbury and Nipissing Districts before it empties into Lake Nipissing on the north shore. The town of Sturgeon Falls is located on the river about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) north of its mouth. The river is provincially significant recreational river with some 65 sets of rapids, mostly rated CI and CII that can be run all season. Ontario Power Generation operates a hydroelectric plant on the river at Crystal Falls. From 1848 to 1879, the Hudson's Bay Company operated a fur trading post called Sturgeon River House at the mouth of this river (now turned into a local museum). Up until the middle of the 20th century, the river was used to transport logs to sawmills on Lake Nipissing. The lower part of the river is prone to flooding. In 1979 the area around the community of Field experienced a disastrous flood that prompted all residential homes to be relocated. The upper (northerly) part of the Sturgeon River is protected in the Sturgeon River Provincial Park. This park consists of 79.85 square kilometres (30.83 sq mi) of protected wilderness stretched out along the river banks without any visitors facilities present. It is managed by Ontario Parks. Geography The river features a continually changing landscape, from the Temagami highlands, with bedrock outcrops and long slender lakes to narrow river channels, rapids and shallows, eventually turning to sandy shores.

Niagara District Court House

Niagara District Court House, better known as the Court House Theatre, is a former court house and venue for the Shaw Festival (until 1973) in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. The neo-classical three-storey building was constructed between 1846 and 1847 to designs by the Toronto architect William Thomas (and built by Garvie and Co.) for the then Niagara District. The building replaced an earlier court house removed for fear of it being in-range of cannon fire from Fort Niagara. Inside it had a courtroom, town hall chambers, offices and jail cells. The building was used as one of a few venues for the 1850 Provincial Agricultural Fair of Canada West. The court-house function remained until judicial courts moved to St. Catharines in 1863; the building then served as town hall and jail until 1866. It became an orphanage for girls from England from 1869 to the early 20th century. In 1962 the court house became home to the Shaw Festival. It received designation as a National Historic Site in 1981. As of the 2018 season, it was retired as an active performance venue and re-purposed for rehearsals, training, education, and expanded audience programs. Prior Niagara court houses Second Niagara Court House and Gaol – built in 1817 near Rye and Cottage Streets, the Georgian building was more grand than the first and far from cannon fire from the U.S. side of the Niagara River. It was replaced by the 1847 court house. It was demolished after 1866; the site is now Rye Heritage Park, with a marker placed at the end of the driveway into the park. First Niagara Court House and Gaol – built in 1795 at King and Prideaux Streets (today occupied by Bernard Gray Hall Bed and Breakfast). Originally the plans were to have it built at Mississauga and Queen Streets. The court house was merely a blockhouse building and was burned by American troops in 1813. References
Leaskdale Manse

The Leaskdale Manse, located in Uxbridge, Ontario, was the home of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of the Anne of Green Gables series, and her husband Reverend Ewan Macdonald from 1911 to 1926. Montgomery wrote 11 of the 22 works published in her lifetime in the manse, as well as a series of journals that were published posthumously. The manse, constructed in 1886, was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1994 and is now a historic house museum. History The manse was constructed in 1886, by carpenter William Gordon and bricklayer Valentine Brooks, to serve as a residence for the pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. In 1911, Montgomery and Macdonald, newly married, moved to the town of Leaskdale, Ontario (now part of Uxbridge). As Macdonald was the pastor of St. Paul's Church, they took up residence in the manse. In her journals, Montgomery wrote that she enjoyed the rural environment of Leaskdale, but complained of the house's "ugly" design and its lack of a bathroom and toilet. Montgomery's three children, Chester, Hugh and Stuart, were born in the Leaskdale Manse between 1912 and 1915. Montgomery wrote 11 of the 22 works published in her lifetime in the manse, and Rainbow Valley, one of the books in the Anne of Green Gables series which tells the story of a Presbyterian minister and his children, draws heavily on Montgomery's life in Leaskdale. In her posthumously published journals, Montgomery wrote extensively of the manse and its surroundings. A 2010 restoration project used Montgomery's writings about the house's architecture and furnishings as a reference. In 1926, the couple moved from Leaskdale to Norval, Ontario, when Macdonald became minister of two churches in Halton County. When Montgomery left the manse, she wrote of "The beautiful woods behind Mr. Leask's, the leaf-hung corner of the side road, the lovely hill field beyond with the elms on their crest. I love these things and grieve to leave them". In 1965, the Ontario Historic Sites board commemorated the manse with a plaque. The Leaskdale Manse was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1994 for its significance in Lucy Maud Montgomery's life. The Township of Uxbridge purchased the manse in 1992. In 2010, the Lucy Maud Montgomery Society of Ontario undertook a restoration project, and in 2013 they assumed ownership of the property. The manse is now operated as a museum. Building The manse is located at 11,909 Durham Regional Road 1, north of St. Paul's Church and south of Leaskdale Creek. It is a two-storey house with a T-shaped layout, typical of middle-class residences of the time. The exterior is yellow brick; it was covered with white stucco in the 1970s, but the stucco was removed in 2001. The roof is cross-gabled, and the manse has a wooden porch decorated with simple gingerbread-style bracketing. The interior layout of the house has been preserved. Few original furnishings survive, as most were sold or donated by Montgomery's children, but the house contains some artifacts and letters from Montgomery's time in the manse. In 2010, the manse received a large donation of antique furniture from Parks Canada. References
Victoria Hall (Cobourg)

Victoria Hall is a 19th-century building that serves as the Town Hall and multi-functional space in downtown Cobourg, Ontario, Canada. It was built during a time when Cobourg was prospering financially and was believed to be named the capital of Upper Canada. Victoria Hall opened in 1860 and was declared a national historic site in 1959 due to it being a good example of the public edifice of mid-19th century Canada. Architecture Victoria Hall is a neoclassical style building faced with imported Cleveland sandstone and topped with a prominent clock tower. In the 1850s, a design competition was held to determine who would construct the town hall and architect Kivas Tully won. The building's front entrance features a portico with Corinthian columns, a Greco-Roman roofed porch, and a speaker's balcony. The building is an ‘E’ shape and is completely symmetrical. Restoration In 1970–1971, Victoria Hall was declared structurally unsafe and was vacated. The initial cost to create this building was estimated to be much lower than the actual price, resulting in little building maintenance over the years. A group of dedicated citizens banded together and created the Society for the Restoration of Victoria Hall in order to save the historic building. Lenah Field Fisher was one of the people responsible for the restoration of the building; she donated her estate and money to the cause and the foyer is named in memory of her. The building was officially reopened in 1983. Courtroom The courtroom in Victoria Hall was modelled after the Old Bailey Courtroom in London, England. This was used as an active courtroom until late 2008 and was one of the very few remaining deep well courtrooms in Canada that were still in use. The mural on the back wall of the courtroom was original to the building and was preserved during the restoration. The mural is a trompe-l’oeil wall painting of the Royal Coat of Arms painted by Moser, a German artist. The Grand Concert Hall The Concert Hall is a large open space that is hand painted in the same trompe-l’oeil style as the courtroom. The restoration process tried to replicate the patterns on the walls and ceilings to match the original building design. The Hall has been restored to retain its acoustical quality and can accommodate various types of performances and events. The Honourable James Cockburn Room James Cockburn was Cobourg's Father of Confederation. He became a prominent lawyer in Cobourg and had an office inside Victoria Hall. The room dedicated to him is designed to represent how it may have looked in the 1860s and 1870s and features his actual ledger. The furniture decorating this room was not original to the building; it was donated from Lenah Field Fisher's estate. Filming Many television shows and movies have used the interior and exterior of Victoria Hall for filming. Murdoch Mysteries have used the town hall on various occasions for filming their period piece television show. Victoria Hall was also used for filming the movie Butterbox Babies.

Brant Street Pier

The Brant Street Pier is an attraction located in Spencer Smith Park at the waterfront of Downtown Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It extends 137 metres into Lake Ontario and provides views of the lake and Burlington's shoreline. It officially opened during the Sound of Music Festival in Spencer Smith Park on the Father's Day weekend of June 2013. The pier is the final phase of the Downtown Waterfront Project: expansion of the Art Gallery of Burlington, construction of the 380-vehicle Locust Street parking facility, and opening of Discovery Landing. Construction The construction of the pier began on 2006 with a budget of $6.9 million. After a series of delays and issues, the pier opened in June 2013. A well-known philanthropist, who was going to donate a $10 million sculpture Untitled (Head Through Belly), pulled out of the deal after opposition from locals. Construction of the pier was paused in the summer of 2008 because a crane fell into Lake Ontario. Later, the majority of the pier's reinforcement beams had to be fixed because they were found to be lacking in foundation. In 2012, Burlington City Council decided to remove a large wind turbine from the structure. The original plan for the pier was supposed to be 100 meters longer than what was constructed. The city settled their legal disputes in 2014 with the original contractor, Harm Schilthuis and Sons Ltd., and engineering firm Aecom Canada Ltd. Final costs to the city were estimated at $14.4M. Features The S-shaped pier is 137 metres long and about 7.5 metres wide along the span or deck. It features a walkway and lighted lookout tower elevated four meters above the deck. The lookout tower or the raised platform, accessible by a circular staircase, is located on the fifth span of the deck (a circular node with a diameter of 20m). This raised platform also supports a 12-metre beacon made of tubular structural steel framing on the centre. The pier, as part of Spencer Smith Park, is open between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. The pier is not maintained during winter. There is no docking feature yet on the pier; although Burlington City Council is intending to add one on later dates. Fishing and biking are allowed on the pier and park. Climbing, diving or swimming is not permitted on the pier, as well as skateboarding on benches and rails. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the pier. The maximum number of people safely permitted on the pier is 2,100. Lasting Impressions: Handprints on the Pier In October 2012, the city opened an opportunity for children across Burlington to leave their hand prints on the pier. The city received 444 entries, drawing one name from each of the six wards and a seventh name from the city at large. The city then took the hand print impressions of the seven children as part of leaving their legacy with the Brant Street Pier. The children returned to help unveil the plaque that contains the lasting impressions of their handprints on the opening ceremony held last June 2013. Gallery References
Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre

Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre is a strip mall located in the Elmvale Acres neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It opened as an enclosed mall in 1961 and was one of the earliest fully enclosed shopping malls in the city. The mall is bounded by Smyth Road to the north, Othello Avenue to the west, Russell Road to the east, and St. Laurent Boulevard to the south. The shopping centre has 40 shops and services including Dollarama, LCBO, Rexall, Starbucks and the Ottawa Public Library. Its gross leasable area is 146,699 square feet (13,628.8 m2). The shopping centre is currently owned by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust. The shopping centre is adjacent to the Elmvale Station providing bus service via OC Transpo routes 5, 40, 41, 48 and 49. The enclosed portion of the mall was demolished in 2005 and replaced by two ranges facing each other across the parking lot. Proprietor RioCan began further redevelopment in 2017, projecting a mix of new commercial and residential buildings with 570 new residential units and a 3,150 square metres (33,900 sq ft) park. Plans include three 16-storey towers along St. Laurent Boulevard, which would be the tallest buildings along this street, as well as a 9-storey building along Smyth Road. Construction began in 2019 and will be implemented over 10 to 15 years. On January 31, 2019, a 30 year old man was shot and killed by an OPS officer during an altercation. Dispatch audio indicates the man was seen walking into the mall holding a knife in his hand. Sources told CBC News that the officer was cut on his forehead. The Special Investigations Unit investigated the shooting and concluded that the police officers used reasonably necessary force. References
