Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l’Indien

Die Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l’Indien ist ein ökologisches Schutzgebiet im äußersten Südwesten der kanadischen Provinz Québec, das nach dem kleinen Fluss benannt wurde, der es durchzieht. Lage, Aufgabe, Geologie Es wurde im Jahr 1991 auf einer Fläche von 324 ha eingerichtet und liegt im Nordwesten der Verwaltungsregion Outaouais, in der regionalen Grafschaftsgemeinde Pontiac, am Nordufer des Ottawa. Es schützt Zucker-Ahorn-Wälder, die mit Gelb-Birken vermischt sind, wie sie für die Ökoregion Lac Pythonga typisch sind. Das hügelige Gebiet auf dem Kanadischen Schild liegt zwischen 250 und 500 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Der Untergrund besteht aus Gneis, Quarzit und kalkreichem Gestein. Nacheiszeitliche Überschwemmungen haben die Terrassen des Indien-Flusses geformt. Flora Stark vertreten sind Weymouth-Kiefer (Pin blanc genannt) und Rotkiefer, dann Populus grandidentata, eine Pappelart, die es nur im Nordosten der USA und im Südosten Kanadas gibt, schließlich Amerikanische Zitterpappel. An einem sandigen Plateaustandort findet sich die hier Pin gris genannte Banks-Kiefer, an einem anderen ein Silber-Ahorn-Wald. Zahlreiche weitere Pflanzen sind mit den verschiedenen Wald- und Bodentypen assoziiert, wie etwa der bedrohte Lathyrus ochroleucus aus der Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler. Fauna Im Fluss finden sich Glasaugenbarsche. Auch leben Landkarten-Höckerschildkröte, die Krötenart Anaxyrus americanus, der im Englischen als mink frog, im Französischen als grenouille verte bekannte Frosch Rana septentrionalis, sowie der Ochsenfrosch, der hier Ouaouaron heißt, in größerer Zahl. Archäologie Archäologische Untersuchungen ergaben, dass das Gebiet bereits vor mehr als 4000 Jahren bewohnt war. Literatur Gildo Lavoie: Les réserves écologiques du Québec.

Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l'Indien

La réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l'Indien est située en bordure de la rivière des Outaouais, en face de Deep River en Ontario à mi-chemin entre Sheenboro et Rapides-des-Joachims, dans le Pontiac. Son appellation reprend celle du ruisseau de l'Indien qui court sur une longueur de près de 10 km depuis le lac Farrell. Établie par décret le 8 mai 1991 dans le but de conserver ce territoire à l'état naturel et de le réserver pour la recherche scientifique et l'éducation, la réserve vise en outre à préserver un échantillonnage de forêt développée de pin blanc et de pin rouge et à sauvegarder des espèces animales et végétales menacées de disparition. La réserve protège des écosystèmes représentatifs de la région écologique du Lac Pythonga laquelle appartient au domaine de l'érablière à bouleau jaune. D'un point de vue archéologique, la réserve abrite aussi un site où a été retrouvé des artefacts liés aux tribus amérindiennes vivant dans la région, certains datant de plus de 4 000 ans.

Pauline Vanier Park

Pauline Vanier Park is a public park in Ottawa's Riverside Park area, located on Harkness Avenue. It is named after Pauline Vanier. The park was built in the early 1960s on what had been the Munro farm, next to neighbouring General Vanier Public School. The Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association organized fireworks displays for over twenty years until changes in safety legislation required its removal to a larger area. Sheldon Ridgeway, then an Ottawa firefighter, started the public activity. After a six-year gap, the fireworks display was moved to Mooney's Bay in 2015. Facilities The park has swings and play structures for children as well as a wading pool. The city of Ottawa operates and staffs the wading pool during the summer season. The pool is not fenced. It is filled during the day and supervised by lifeguards. In the evenings, the pool is drained prior to staff leaving. The park field house is used by the lifeguards as an office and to store supplies. The field house was one of six field houses built at the same time by the City of Ottawa in 1967. The park also has two baseball diamonds with back stops, and one t-ball diamond. In the winter, a temporary skating rink, with boards, is set up in the park. The field house is used as a change room for skaters. Volunteers from the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association take care of the ice during the season.

The Loyal True Blue and Orange Home

The Loyal True Blue and Orange Home is a Colonial Revival architecture building in Richmond Hill, Ontario, a city north of Toronto. It has served a variety of purposes over the years, including an orphanage, school, and centre for mental healthcare, among others. The original property covered 2 blocks, but parts of the land have been sold off over the years and other buildings were built, including 2 seniors homes. The building is included in the Town of Richmond Hill's Inventory of Cultural Heritage Resources. The building was originally built by William H. Graham in 1901 to be used as an orphanage, and opened in 1923. H.C. Hocken laid the cornerstone. It was founded to take care of underprivileged or orphaned Protestant children. The Home was founded by the Loyal True Blue Association and the Orange Order in Canada. The orphans had to wear specific uniforms so everyone could identify the children as orphans. In 1982 the orphanage was abolished and the children moved to foster care programs. In the same year the building was extended. The Loyal True Blue And Orange Home had to rent rooms to people from the community. Many different organizations operate as part of the home, including the St. John Ambulance, Century Montessori School, The Learning Disabilities Association. Century Montessori School came to the Loyal True Blue And Orange Home in 1994 and in 1997 the first students arrived. The school's name references the educational methods inspired by Dr. Maria Montessori. Her philosophy of education emphasizes student freedom with logical guidelines. The school is funded solely by tuition fees paid by the parents. The basement has a lab, two gyms, a music room and three classrooms. Today, the building is situated by the intersection of Yonge Street and Silverwood Avenue, near the current Richmond Hill High School building on Yorkland Street.

Parc provincial Sandbanks

Le parc provincial Sandbanks (anglais : Sandbanks Provincial Park) est un parc provincial de l'Ontario (Canada) situé sur la rive nord du lac Ontario, dans le comté de Prince Edward, à l'est de Kingston. Ce parc est connu pour ses plages de sable et la plus grande formation de dunes et de bancs de sable en eau douce au monde. Il a été établi en 1970 et est ouvert toute l'année. En 2018, il était devenu une des destinations touristiques préférées des Québécois. Description et historique Certaines dunes atteignent 25 m de haut. Le système de dunes s'étend sur une longueur de 12 km, depuis la pointe au nord-ouest de moins de 100 m de large jusqu'à atteindre 1,5 km au sud-est. Il y a 12 500 ans, les glaciers ont laissé dans cette zone d'importants amas de sable. Ceux-ci ont formé des dunes sous l'action des courants qui vont d'Ouest en Est sur la rive nord du Lac Ontario. En raison de la déforestation des rives pour faire place à l'agriculture, le sable s'est déplacé vers l'intérieur des terres, à tel point que, en 1881, la route de West Point a été recouverte de 30 m de sable. Peu après, le petit village d'Athol a été forcé de se relocaliser à la suite d'un semblable événement. À partir de 1921, Sandbanks a fait l'objet d'un important projet de reforestation à l'aide de peupliers, afin de recréer les conditions antérieures à la colonisation et d'empêcher le déplacement des dunes. Le parc provincial a été créé en 1970, avec l'objectif de protéger les dunes. Le parc compte trois plages et plusieurs sentiers de randonnée.

Exhibition Place Carillon

The Exhibition Place Carillon (originally the Carlsberg Carillon) is a carillon located at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. History In 1974, Carling-O'Keefe Breweries provided funding for the construction of the 50-bell carillon. The bells were cast by the Royal Eijsbouts foundry of Asten in the Netherlands. The largest bell (the bourdon) weighs 4800 pounds. The instrument transposes up a perfect fourth from concert pitch. Four of the large bells including the bourdon are equipped with outside hammers to sound the Cambridge Quarters while the bourdon strikes the hour. Part way up the tower is a compartment with figures of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Swineherd"; upon activation, these figures could be moved from one side of the tower to the other, but the mechanism is no longer functional. When the carillon was built, it was played most days of the week during the Exhibition summer season. The current carillonist is Gerald Martindale. The original plaque reads: See also List of carillons References External links Description of the Exhibition Place Carillon at towerbells.org Description of the "Bandshell Park Clock" above the carillon at waymarking.com

Makobe River

The Makobe River is a river in northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, and is a left tributary of the Montreal River. Course The river begins at Makobe Lake in Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park in geographic Whitson Township in Unorganized West Timiskaming District and flows north into Banks Lake and into geographic Banks Township. It continues north, entering 1,420-hectare (3,500-acre) Makobe-Grays River Provincial Park (a waterway park along both sides of the river) and straddling the border with geographic Wallis Township adjacent to the west. The river continues north, enters geographic Willet Township, takes in the left tributary Crane Creek, then the right tributary Cucumber Creek, and enters incorporated James Township. It takes in the left tributary Bear River, exits Makobe-Grays River Provincial Park just before the community of Elk Lake, and reaches its mouth at the Montreal River. The Montreal River flows via Lake Timiskaming and the Ottawa River to the Saint Lawrence River. The river flows over Canadian Shield bedrock through a narrow north-south valley, characterized by a number of small waterfalls and rapids. At Alexander Lake, the river widens out into shoreline wetlands with shrub and grass fens and black ash swamp. In spring, the river's high water level create numerous Class I and II rapids, suitable for whitewater canoeing; while it becomes mostly flatwater with some moving water in the summer, requiring lining and numerous portages when canoeing. Provincial parks Almost the entire Makobe River is protected inside provincial parks: most of it in Makobe-Grays River Provincial Park, and its headwaters and source in Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. The Makobe-Grays River Provincial Park is a linear waterway park that includes a 200 metres (660 ft) wide strip of land on both sides of the Makobe River (although the park is also named after the Grays River, this river is entirely within Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park). It was established in 1985 and protects a remote whitewater river that is used for wilderness canoe camping. The park's notable features include numerous small waterfalls, scenic ravines, and fishing opportunities. It is an operating park, requiring permits for wilderness camping. Facilities include 9 backcountry campsites. The park can be used for recreational activities such as boating, backcountry camping, canoeing, fishing, swimming, and hunting. Natural history Besides Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park and Makobe-Grays River Provincial Park, the drainage basin also includes Makobe Grays Ice Margin Conservation Reserve, a 903-hectare (2,230-acre) reserve on either side of the river around and upstream of the Crane Creek inflow, that protects "unique spruce-topped moraine ridges" and "unique jack pine and poplar communities found on the Makobe Grays end moraine".
