La Première Nation de Wasauksing (anciennement la Première Nation de Parry Island ; en ojibwé : Waaseyakosing, signifiant « lieu qui brille de mille feux dans le reflet de la lumière sacrée ») est une Première Nation (au sens de « bande indienne ») ojibwée, outaouaise et potéouatamie dont la réserve est située près de la ville de Parry Sound en Ontario (Canada). La réserve correspond à l'île Parry, située dans la baie Georgienne. L'île s'étend sur environ 77 kilomètres carrés avec 126 kilomètres de rivage et compte parmi les plus grandes îles des Grands Lacs. La Première Nation de Wasauksing occupe aujourd'hui l'île entière, bien que le village fantôme de Depot Harbour ait été historiquement un établissement non autochtone. Vie communautaire La réserve abrite une station de radio communautaire, CHRZ-FM et le magazine indigène MUSKRAT. Un deuxième magazine indigène Spirit était auparavant publié. Transport La route principale de la réserve relie l'île Parry à la terre ferme par le pont tournant de Wasauksing et rejoint le chemin Rose Point dans le canton de Seguin, au sud de Parry Sound. Cette route se poursuit jusqu'à Parry Sound et devient la rue Emily à la limite municipale entre Parry Sound et Seguin.

Waterford District High School

Waterford District High School, also known as WDHS, is a public high school in Waterford, Ontario, Canada. It is the northernmost secondary school in Norfolk County. History The first school board meeting for the new high school in Waterford was held on February 15, 1892. The board purchased 1.8 acres of land on the northeast corner of Main and Brown streets at a cost of $150 per acre. The building was constructed for about $7,000 and the enrollment in the first year was approximately 100 students. In 1936 the structure burned down, but was rebuilt and reopened in 1937. Summary Athletics WDHS has a variety of sports teams including football, rugby, soccer, field lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, golf, badminton, tennis, track and field, hockey, and cheerleading. The team mascot is a wolf. Fair Day Each year, at the Norfolk County Fair, the students of Waterford District High School compete with other local high schools in events like tug-o-war, cheerleading, and road racing. Each school fills a separate area of the grandstands and is judged on spirit and decorations. Grade 9 Day Grade 9 day at Waterford District High School is a long-standing tradition. The grade 9 students are paired with senior students to complete activities. Following a crackdown on hazing by the school's administration, the day's events are considered to be a safe opportunity for students from grade 9 and grade 12 to get to know one another. There is also a barbecue lunch for the students run by the school's student council. Spring musical There is an active drama, and music department at Waterford District High School that puts on yearly musicals such as Be More Chill ,Ride the Cyclone ,Catch Me If You Can and The Music Man. Renovations The school underwent renovations from 2010 to 2012. Modernized areas included science laboratories, a larger Edukids day care for staff members and unwed student mothers, new gymnasium floors, and an addition of new offices for the school board. The school now has an elevator. Fundraising was done for a new electronic scoreboard for the football field, replacing the old manual score board. Conforming with Canadian high school football standards, the scoreboard shows the time and score of both teams along with the down, the yardage of the line of scrimmage, the yards to go until a first down, the team with the possession (usually signified with the outline of a football in lights next to the possessing team's score), and the quarter.

Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School

Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School is a high school just outside Baden, Ontario, Canada operated by the Waterloo Region District School Board. It opened in 1955 and is one of two rural high schools in Waterloo Region, the other being Elmira District Secondary School. W-O serves a student population of 1,283 (2019–2020), primarily from Waterloo Region, Oxford County, and Perth County. Its school colours are green and white. At the time of Waterloo-Oxford's 50th reunion in 2005, it was estimated that 10,000 alumni had graduated from the school. In 1999, the school—situated on a rural highway—applied for an exemption from the Ontario legislation banning smoking on school property. The request was denied, but in 2000 the Township of Wilmot agreed to lease a piece of land on school property, allowing students to smoke some distance away from highway traffic, without contravening the smoking ban. In 2006 Waterloo Oxford held its first Relay for Life event in coordination with the Canadian Cancer society and raised over $50 000. From 1995 to 1999 The Jr. and Sr. Boys Rugby team became the first team in school history to go 4 straight years without a regular season loss. This team won 4 County Championships, 3 Regional Championships and 2 OFSAA Championships during this time, making them the most decorated Rugby program in Waterloo Region. These records still stand today. Waterloo-Oxford is most notable for its Rugby teams. The Senior Boys Rugby team has won twelve WCSSAA Championships, including the 2015 title. In addition, the Junior Boys have won nine WCSSAA titles, including the 2013 title and the girls Rugby team has eight WCSSAA titles. Also, the Girls Basketball teams have had a great run since 2011, winning both a Senior and Junior WCSSAA title and appearing in two CWOSSAA championship games and losing this year's WCSSAA title after going undefeated through the regular season. Other sports that have had moments of strength include boys Volleyball, girls Field Hockey and more recently, Girls Slow Pitch. Wrestling, power-lifting, football, hockey and badminton round out the varsity sports. The school prides itself on offering a great variety of sports and activities, but recent cuts in after school buses has had a negative effect on participation rates. Notable alumni Benjamin Alarie, law professor and tech entrepreneur Harold Albrecht, former MP for the riding of Kitchener—Conestoga John English, historian and former MP for the riding of Kitchener James Nicoll, science fiction commentator and former game store owner, who once described the school as "a very rural high school, where 'alternative life style' meant 'Not Old Order Mennonite'" Graeme Smith, correspondent for The Globe and Mail See also Education in Ontario List of secondary schools in Ontario References

Wellington Building

The Wellington Building is a Beaux-Arts architecture office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was built between 1925 and 1927 as Canadian headquarters of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The original structure was designed by D. Everett Waid; in 1959, the more restrained east wing of the building was added. The Building is located just south of the Parliament buildings at the intersection of Wellington Street and Bank Street with its southern face on Sparks Street. It remained the home of Met Life until 1970 when the company moved to a new building to the south. It was bought by the federal government, and used as offices and for a time the home of the Canadian Postal Museum. In 1984, a shortage of office space for the MPs resulted in some of them being moved to the building. This was the first time MPs had been housed outside of Parliament Hill. Since its rehabilitation in 2016, the building is occupied by the House of Commons and serves several parliamentary functions. Heritage value The Wellington Building (formerly the Metropolitan Life Assurance Building) was built in 1925–27 to designs by D. Everett Waid, architect, of New York; J.A. Ewart, Ottawa, associated architect. In 1957–58 two storeys were added to the original building, and in 1958–59 a six-storey wing was added to the east, both to designs by Marani and Morris, architects, Toronto. Public Works Canada is now the custodian of the building. In January, 1987, the building was designated Recognized by Canada's Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office because of its sophisticated Beaux Arts design and its environmental importance. It is valuable both for its strong contribution to the formality of Wellington Street opposite Parliament, and for the sensitivity to the modest commercial proportions of Sparks Street visible in its "back" façade. Historically, the building there of the Canadian headquarters of a large American firm coincides with the emergence of Ottawa as a regional commercial centre. The building was a deliberate example of advanced thinking concerning efficient office planning for clerical "factories" and a concern for health in the workplace. 2010–2016 rehabilitation In 2010, the building was closed for extensive rehabilitation work, which included asbestos abatement, seismic reinforcement, reduction in energy use by 25%, and the modernization of its interior spaces and systems to accommodate MP Offices, committee rooms and a library. Historic preservation work included the conservation and restoration of the building's significant heritage features, such as the valuable Byzantine-style mosaic in its vestibule, and the decorative steel and glass canopy on Wellington Street whose original was removed in the 1960s. Work was completed in the spring of 2016. References

Édifice de l'Ouest

L'Édifice de l'Ouest (en anglais : West Block) est l'un des trois bâtiments de la Cité parlementaire du Canada, à Ottawa. Situé à l'ouest du promontoire de la colline du Parlement, l'Édifice de l'Ouest est construit entre 1859 et 1909 dans un style néo-gothique de l'époque victorienne. Il est désigné lieu historique national du Canada le 16 janvier 1987. Depuis le 28 janvier 2019, le bâtiment abrite la Chambre des communes, normalement située dans l'Édifice du Centre. Ce dernier est fermé pour des travaux devant s'échelonner durant toutes les années 2020. L'Édifice de l'Ouest comporte plusieurs bureaux de parlementaires, des salles de comité et une partie de la Bibliothèque du Parlement. Description Ses murs sont construits en grès de Nepean (nord de Gatineau) et son toit en mansarde est revêtu de cuivre avec faîtage en fer. Le bâtiment est coiffé de la tour Mackenzie en 1878, de la tour Laurier en 1906, puis de la tour sud-ouest. Histoire Lors de sa planification, l'édifice est conçu pour être utilisé par la fonction publique. La première phrase de construction se déroule entre 1859 et 1865 d'après les plans des architectes Thomas Stent et Augustus Laver. L'édifice ouvre ses portes en 1866, juste à temps pour la Confédération du Canada. Il abrite alors les bureaux des ministères des Postes, des Travaux publics et des Terres de la Couronne. Des travaux d'agrandissement sont menés entre 1874 et 1878 (T. S. Scott), avec la construction de l'aile nord-est, et entre 1906 à 1909 pour la construction de l'aile nord. L'édifice est pratiquement complètement rénové et transformé à l'intérieur entre 1961 et 1965. La firme Perini Limited de Toronto en a le mandat. Dans le cadre d'un vaste plan de réhabilitation des bâtiments de la Cité parlementaire, un important chantier de restauration et de modernisation s'amorce en 2011. Outre la restauration patrimoniale, les travaux visent entre autres à créer un nouvel espace en recouvrant la cour intérieure d'un toit de verre pour accueillir temporairement la Chambre des communes. Le déménagement de la chambre implique également la construction des bureaux du premier ministre, des agents supérieurs de la Chambre et des chefs et whips des partis. Les travaux entraîne la disparition de la salle de la Confédération (la « pièce 200 »). À terme, en janvier 2019, le coût des travaux s'élève à 863 millions de dollars canadiens. Culture populaire La tour Mackenzie de l'Édifice de l'Ouest figure sur le billet canadien de 5 dollars.
