Goat Island (Ontario)

Goat Island is a small island in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in the town of Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands in the Manitoulin District. Transportation Highway 6 passes through the island, crossing from Manitoulin Island via the Little Current Swing Bridge. Built in 1913 as a railway bridge, it has carried road traffic since 1946. At the other end of the island, a fixed bridge carries the highway to Great La Cloche Island. The only other road on the island, Goat Island Road, is a service road that circles around the west end of the island. Goat Island Road has a cul de sac that ends on the northwest corner of the island, separated by a narrow section of the North Channel from a dirt trail leading off from Highway 6 on Great La Cloche Island. The former Highway 6 crossing was cut off after the roadway was re-aligned to the east end of the island in 1998. Communities The only community located on the island is Turner. A small tank farm is used by E. B. Eddy to store chemicals for their Espanola, Ontario plant. Goat Island Range, a golf driving range, is the only business of the island. There are two transformer stations found off Goat Island Road and Highway 6. References

Goreway Power Station

Goreway Power Station is a natural gas power station in Brampton, Ontario. It is owned by Capital Power. Gas is supplied by underground pipelines from a nearby Enbridge facility. Description At 875 MW the plant is the second largest gas fired station in Canada behind the Greenfield Energy Centre in Courtright, Ontario and consists of: 3+1 CCGT with General Electric 7001FB gas turbines History The Goreway Power Station was developed by Sithe Global Power, a subsidiary of Blackstone Inc. Sithe entered into a twenty-year production agreement with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to supply electricity to the Greater Toronto Area. Construction of the $942 million facility began in late 2005 and was expected to be completed by June 2007, with full combined cycle operations to begin in July 2008. Construction was financed by TD Securities and RBC Capital Markets and the plant was built by SNC-Lavalin. In 2007, SNC-Lavalin told Sithe that it could not complete construction on time due to the bankruptcy of an equipment supplier. The power station entered service on 11 June 2009. In 2015, Goreway had settled with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to repay an undisclosed amount for exploiting loopholes in the wholesale energy market over several years. In 2017, the Ontario Energy Board reported that Goreway had benefitted by approximately $120 million. Ontario Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault reported that Goreway had repaid $91 million out of a $100 million repayment penalty. Goreway was also fined $10 million. In 2023, Capital Power sought to increase the capacity of the power plant by 40 MW. The proposed increase is intended to be achieved through upgrades to parts within the gas turbine. The proposal was criticised by environmentalists for threatening "Brampton's goal of reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions by 45 per cent by 2030." However, the IESO defended the proposed expansion on the grounds that there were "no like-for-like replacements with similar operating flexibility for natural gas generation." In October 2023, the Toronto Star reported that the Goreway plant, which was intended to only operate during peak periods of electricity demands, had been running for 10–15 hours each day between 2019 and 2023. Ownership On 4 September 2009, Chubu Electric Power and Toyota Tsusho each acquired a 25 per cent stake in Sithe Global Power. On 3 March 2011, Sithe Global Power announced that it had sold its remaining 50 per cent stake to Chubu Electric and Toyota Tsusho. In June 2019, Capital Power acquired the power station from Goreway Power Station Holdings Inc., a joint venture of JERA and Toyota Tsusho. The transaction was valued at ¥32 billion (US$289 million).

Goulais River

The Goulais River (Pronounced: goo-lee) is a river in northern Ontario, Canada, which rises in the Algoma highlands and empties into Goulais Bay on eastern Lake Superior near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. It is one of the largest tributaries on the eastern lake, draining an area of approximately 2,000 square kilometres (770 sq mi). The river and its tributaries were used to transport logs to local sawmills during the second half of the 19th century. The Algoma Central Railway travels up the river valley on its way to the Agawa canyon. At one time, the river was an important spawning area for lake sturgeon. However, logging operations, fishing and the installation of an electric barrier to prevent sea lampreys from travelling upstream (removed in 1960) have reduced sturgeon activity in the river. The river is used for recreational canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, and the headwaters and parts of the river have been protected by the Goulais River Provincial Park. The river's name is thought to come from the French word goulet or "narrow passage", which is also the source of the English words "gully" and "gullet". The French called the area at the river's mouth Anse de la pêche or "Fish Inlet". The Goulais River is a popular yellow pickerel fishing area. The river is also home to bass, brook trout, and other species. Goulais River Provincial Park Since 2003, a 5,086 hectares (12,570 acres) section of the river is protected in the Goulais River Provincial Park. It is a waterway park consisting of a strip of land along both shores of the river. Some of its features includes shoreline wetlands, falls, a lake section, and stretches through talus slopes and bedrock resembling rock gardens. It is home to a self-sustaining brook trout population. As a non-operating park, there are no visitor facilities and services. The park is part of the Algoma Headwaters Signature Site, that also includes the Algoma Headwaters Provincial Park, Aubinadong-Nushatogaini Rivers Provincial Park, and the Ranger North Conservation Reserve.

Government of Canada Building (North York)

The Joseph Shepard Building (French: Édifice Joseph-Shepard), also known as the Joseph Shepard Federal Building, Government of Canada Building, or simply 4900 Yonge, is an office complex used by the federal government of Canada in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Located on Yonge Street in the North York neighbourhood of Lansing, the building lies within North York City Centre. Built in 1977 as a medium-sized, planned consolidation project to service residents of the former Metropolitan Toronto districts of North York and Etobicoke, the building houses offices for passport services, Service Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, Shared Services Canada and Canadian Forces recruiting centre in addition to other federal departments. The building was designed by Macy DuBois and is a Classified Federal Heritage Building. The building is named for Joseph Shepard, an early settler in North York whom acquired 400 acres (160 ha) of land nearby and also the namesake of Sheppard Avenue. The structure, with its multi-layered design, stands out among the surrounding skyscrapers along Yonge Street, which were built during the office boom of the 1990s surrounding the diversification of North York City Centre. The building is within walking distance to Sheppard–Yonge subway station and short distance from Ontario Highway 401. The building is one of two buildings used by the federal government in North York, the other being the Environment and Climate Change Canada Building near York University Heights. Other federal facilities in Toronto include the Dominion Public Building, the Canada Centre Building, and the Health Canada Building; the latter two buildings located in the former city of Scarborough. Stabbing On March 14, 2016, two members of the Canadian Forces recruiting centre were stabbed by someone carrying a knife.

Canada Centre Building

The Canada Centre Building is a 12-storey postmodern federal government office building in the Scarborough district of Toronto. It is located at 200 Town Centre Court, between the Scarborough Civic Centre and Scarborough Town Centre shopping mall, and next to Scarborough Centre station. The building houses offices of Service Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, Passport Canada, Forensics Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency, providing services for Scarborough and Central Ontario. Opened in 1985, the building is most notable for its energy-conservation systems, which include one of the first successful full-scale applications of aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES). The building was designed by architects Moriyama and Teshima with a postmodern influence reflective of the surrounding public buildings. It is situated at the western side of a 2.2-hectare (5.4-acre) rectangular property and is twelve stories tall, with the lower two levels reserved for parking. The building provides 30,000 square metres (320,000 sq ft) of office space to accommodate 1,900 office workers. Its distinctive roofline is replicated in a blue-framed galleria structure which provides a pedestrian walkway between Scarborough Centre station and Albert Campbell Square. The building was constructed during 1983–1985. While excavating and drilling for the foundations in 1980–81, two potential aquifers were found, allowing an ATES system to be integrated into the design. The system uses four 60-metre-deep (200 ft) production wells supplying 10–30 L/s (0.35–1.06 cu ft/s) of groundwater, with an additional fifteen observation wells on the property. It was set up as a full-scale research facility with $200,000 of scientific instrumentation to monitor its operations, which began in 1985. In addition to the ATES, the building's heating and cooling systems include 700 square metres (7,500 sq ft) of roof-mounted solar heat collectors, forced-draft cooling towers, centrifugal chillers, plate heat exchangers, electric boilers, and concrete storage tanks. A large computing facility was added in 1986–87 to control and monitor these systems, selecting the most efficient usage. In 1989, the chillers were converted to heat pumps to meet cooling demand due to increased occupancy. Following this conversion, annual energy purchases were about 250 kWh per square metre or 5000 kWh per workplace. Engineering firm H. H. Angus and Associates received a 1986 Award of Excellence (mechanical) from Canadian Consulting Engineer magazine for their contributions to the design and implementation of the Canada Centre's energy systems. A 2021 study identified the Canada Centre Building for heritage consideration due to its design and association in the context of the growth of the Scarborough Civic Centre location. Notes References
Governor Simcoe Secondary School

Governor Simcoe Secondary School, named after John Graves Simcoe, is a public high school in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. It is a three-floored school with a theatre attachment. It opened in 1971. It was the first open concept high school in the Niagara Peninsula; the open concept has since been replaced with individual classrooms. Theatre In 1995, the Grantham Theatre was added to the east end of the school. While originally designed to seat 1000 people, due to budget constraints, it was only built to seat 500. The school has had its own productions of musicals. In 2017, students performed Beauty and the Beast. 66 students were a part of the cast. In 2019, students performed Into the Woods. The musical production for the year of 2025 was Freaky Friday. Robotics The school currently has a FIRST Robotics Competition robotics team, registered as Team 1114 - Simbotics. The team was initiated in 2003 along with that years robotics season game being launched, Stack Attack. In 2012, the team won the FIRST Impact Award, formerly known as the FIRST Chairman's Award. The video submitted awarded them a blue banner, a ten year auto-qualification term into the FIRST Championship, and induction into the FIRST Hall of Fame. Some notable team events include 2017 when two students on the team were photographed with the prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. In 2022, they won the FIRST Robotics Ontario Provincial Championship and then moved on to compete in Houston, Texas. Robot History Throughout the years, since documented from 2011 on the Simbotics website, the team has continued to name their robots with the prefix of "Simbot". This notable prefix has lasted for over the past decade and is paired along with a majority of the robot names starting with the character "S". Although most bind by this rule, there are a handful of robots on Simbotics that are named not following this rule to tribute to the passing of team members, are a notable figure in society at the time, or are more fitting for the robot name for the year. Athletics In 2014, students from Governor Simcoe won 11 medals in provincial championships for the Special Olympics. The school has a football team with mixed grade students. In 2022 and 2023, the team made it to the regional semifinals. Incidents In 2019, an 18 year old student went missing. The school honoured him in their graduation ceremony for that year and gave the Ontario Secondary School Diploma to his family. He was later found dead. Foul play was not suspected. In 2023, a teacher was charged with sexual assault of a student.
