Main Duck Island

Main Duck Island is a Canadian island in the eastern part of Lake Ontario situated next to the smaller Yorkshire Island. It was purchased by Parks Canada in 1977 and has been administered as part of the Thousand Islands National Park since 1998, even though it is not part of the Thousand Islands region. The island is 20 kilometres from the closest mainland. Its area is 230 hectares (570 acres). History Early history Archaeological evidence suggests the island was first used by nomadic Point Peninsula peoples between 450 BC and 450 AD. The island then appears to have been used by the Owasco culture from 850 to 1050 AD. There is evidence that Iroquoian peoples used the island from 1250 to 1450 AD. European settlement European settlers from Prince Edward County began to settle Main Duck Island in the early 19th century, establishing a fishing station. Captain John Walters built a schooner there in 1865 called the Harriet Anne. 20th century In 1904 the Government of Canada sold the island to Claude W. Cole from Cape Vincent, New York. Cole was, originally, an impresario in the fishing industry. When the prohibition of alcoholic beverages came into effect, in 1917, Cole became a notorious smuggler, with commercial fishermen who rented huts` on the island, during fishing season, smuggling booze with their catches. A seasonal fishing village of 60 residents existed in the early part of the century. In 1941, John Foster Dulles, the future secretary of state for Dwight D. Eisenhower, bought much of the island as a summer place. After his death in 1959, his friend Robert F. Hart Jr. inherited his land on the island. The Nature Conservancy of Canada purchased this land circa 1976 and then resold it to the Canadian Federal Government. In 1998 it was included in the Thousand Islands National Park of Canada. Many vessels were wrecked on shoals near the island. Buildings Besides the lighthouse (c. 1914), a few buildings exists on the island: lighthouse keeper home assistant lightkeeper home c. 1970s schoolhouse ruins of the Foster estate (chimney remains) In the middle of the larger island is a dock servicing small vessels. There are no roads on the island and just foot trails. Lighthouse keepers James Clark (1914 – 1915) Fred Bongard (1915 – 1921) Wesley Earl Thomas (1921 – 1953) Harold Dunn (1954 – 1958) Coleman Main (1959 – 1976) Kenneth McConnell (1976 – 1978) Don Holdaway (- 1986) See also Pigeon Island References
Première Nation crie de Moose

La Première Nation crie de Moose (auparavant nommée la Bande indienne de Moose Factory) (en cri : ᒨᓱᓂᔨ ᐃᓕᓕᐗᒃ, môsoniyi ililiwak) est une Première Nation (au sens de « bande indienne ») crie du nord de l'Ontario, au Canada. Son territoire traditionnel se trouve à l'ouest de la baie James, mais a à sa disposition deux réserves : Factory Island 1 (les deux tiers nord de l'île Moose Factory) et Moose Factory 68, une étendue de terre à environ 15 km en amont sur la rivière Moose couvrant 168,82 km2. Nom Le nom « Moose Factory » vient de son emplacement sur la rivière Moose, ainsi que de l'époque de la traite des fourrures. L'officier responsable du poste de traite était appelé the factor (en français : « le facteur »). Une autre hypothèse suggère que le nom proviendrait du nom de la rivière et d'une fabrique de meubles autrefois située dans la communauté. Histoire Les Cris sont un peuple autochtone de la région subarctique qui, historiquement, chassaient et cueillaient lors des migrations saisonnières. En été, ils parcouraient les cours d'eau en canot pour pêcher et cueillir des baies et d'autres aliments de base. En automne, ils chassaient la sauvagine le long des rives de la baie James. Avant l'hiver, les familles cries se rendaient dans leurs campements d'hiver, où elles chassaient et piégeaient le gros gibier et les petits animaux à fourrure. Avant le dégel printanier, les familles chassaient la sauvagine lors de leur migration vers le nord. Il s'agissait d'un cycle annuel historique pour les Cris des marais. L'exposition aux colons européens vient influencer fortement leur mode de vie. En 1673, la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson établit un poste de traite des fourrures dans la région de Moose Factory. Les Cris côtoyent le poste et sont exposés aux coutumes européennes. Moose Factory devient la première colonie anglophone de l'Ontario. En 1905, au nom de la Couronne britannique, les commissaires aux traités négocient avec la Première Nation crie de Moose afin de conclure un traité. Le traité numéro 9 est signé le 9 août 1905, incluant quelques dizaines de Premières Nations. Le traité réserve deux parcelles de terre à l'usage et au « bénéfice » de la Première Nation crie de Moose. La première, la réserve indienne n° 1 de Moose Factory, occupe environ les deux tiers de l'île de Moose Factory et la seconde, la réserve indienne n° 68 de Moose Factory, est située à environ 16 kilomètres au sud de Moose Factory, à l'embouchure de la rivière des Français. Population La population de la Première Nation crie Moose est de 5 182 habitants en juin 2025.

Located in the former suburb of located in the Scarborough, it was established by the Scarborough Board of Education which later merged into the present Toronto District School Board from 1966 to 2016. The school was named after Robert Borden, a Canadian lawyer and politician who was the eighth Prime Minister of Canada from 1911 to 1920. The motto of Sir Robert L. Borden was Auspicium Melioris Aevi (Hope for a Better Age). The school ceased to exist at the end of the 2015–16 academic year end due to declining admissions. Future use of the building remains uncertain. History Designed by the architects Abram and Ingleson, Sir Robert L. Borden Secondary School was built in 1964 and was opened on September 6, 1966 by the Scarborough Board of Education as a first occupational school in the eastern Scarborough community and the second technical school. The school was one of two schools based on Bendale Secondary School which had opened in 1963. Since 1987, the school used the present name, Sir Robert L. Borden B.T.I. The school celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1991. The school's official colours were blue and gold. Eventually, Borden closed in June 2016 with the last of the remaining pupils graduated Borden on that same week. One month prior, the school building was placed at the hands of the Toronto Lands Corporation for sale. After closure, the City of Toronto plans to convert the former school into a community hub. Borden B.T.I.’s school structure is currently the only surviving former technical school in Scarborough not to be demolished to date (Timothy Eaton was torn down in 2014 after closing for five years and Bendale six months after closure in early 2020.)

Upper Canada College

L’Upper Canada College (UCC) est une école élémentaire et secondaire privée pour les garçons à Toronto au Canada. Les élèves étudient pour le Baccalauréat International. Fondée en 1829, par Sir John Colborne, lieutenant-gouverneur du Haut-Canada, l’UCC est l'école indépendante la plus ancienne de la province d'Ontario, la troisième plus ancienne du pays, et est souvent décrite comme l’école préparatoire la plus prestigieuse du Canada, ayant beaucoup d'élites du Canada, puissants et riches en tant que diplômés. Modelée à l'origine sur les écoles d'État britanniques, en particulier le Collège d'Eton fondé par Henri VI (roi d'Angleterre) en 1440, aujourd'hui l'UCC est entièrement indépendant. Une partie du financement fut pris à même le fonds de dotation (Endowments) de 91,436 hectares (225,944 acres) de terres de la Couronne, accordé le 15 mars 1827, quand le King's College obtint son statut d’université par charte royale. Le King's College renommé l'Université de Toronto avait été fondé par John Strachan, évêque anglican de Toronto, et était par conséquent très lié avec l’Anglicanisme, alors religion officielle du Haut-Canada. De nos jours, les étudiants et le corps enseignant sont plus diversifiés en termes de catégories culturelles et socio-professionnelles. Un lien à la famille royale est maintenu par le prince Philip Mountbatten, duc d’Édimbourg, qui est le visiteur officiel de l’école. Anciens élèves de l’Upper Canada College Les anciens élèves de l'UCC sont connus comme des Old Boys comme dans beaucoup d'écoles masculines non mixtes. Anciens élèves connus L'école a produit six lieutenant-gouverneurs, trois premiers ministres du Canada, et sept juges en chef du Canada.
