Weston Centre (Toronto)

The Weston Centre is an office building complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located near the corner of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue, within walking distance of the St. Clair (TTC) subway station. It is home to the head office of George Weston Limited and subsidiary Choice Properties REIT. Wittington Tower Designed by architect Leslie Rebanks, the Wittington Tower is a 20-storey octagonal structure located at 22 St. Clair Avenue East. Completed in 1975, its design won several awards. The tower is part of the Weston Centre complex, housing the corporate offices of George Weston Limited, which controls Loblaw Companies Limited. Wittington Investments Limited, the Weston family's holding company, also has its offices within the building. Structure Built by general contractors EGM Cape and Co., the horizontal members, called spandrels and separated by windows of tinted glass, are made of stainless steel, while the vertical members, mullions, are of aluminum. Because of the different light-reflecting qualities of the two materials, this creates an interesting dichromatic contrast under different daytime lighting conditions. Reflecting the overall shape of the building, the lobby features a metal ceiling with eight-sided truncated metal 'stalactites.' This is accompanied by a floor-to-ceiling metallic sculpted mural. The reception (security) desk is a solid 5-ton slab of granite. "The entrance has a dramatic octagonal stalactic ceiling, growing naturally out of the building module. This, together with the artwork and the lobby furniture, were all designed by the architect." Rebanks received a special award from the American Institute of Business Designers for the building's ground-floor lobby design, in addition to the Institute's grand prize for the 19th and 20th floor reception and corporate offices. On May 7, 1982, a stainless steel sculpture called 'Sails,' by sculptor Gord Smith (sculptor), R.C.A. was erected below the tower.

Wilde Beast

Wilde Beast is a wooden roller coaster located at Canada's Wonderland, in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It was originally named "Wilde Beast", from 1981 to 1996, when it was renamed to "Wild Beast" in 1997. The ride was reverted to its original name in 2019. It is one of the five roller coasters that debuted with the park in 1981, and is one of three wooden coasters at Canada's Wonderland modeled after a ride at Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati, Ohio (specifically, Wildcat); the other is the Mighty Canadian Minebuster. The ride's fan curve was rebuilt in 1998. History The ride is a double out-and-back coaster encompassing a figure 8 design. The ride was designed by Curtis D. Summers but is based on the original Coney Island Wildcat designed by Herbert Schmeck. It was constructed in-house under the direction of Summers. The coaster was not built by PTC despite a plaque at the operator's booth and several published reports that claim it was. PTC stopped building coasters in 1979. The construction crew likely comprised workers who had previously built coasters for PTC. The two 28-passenger trains were supplied by the Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters. Unlike the three-row PTC trains on Mighty Canadian Minebuster, Wilde Beast utilizes shorter two-row cars that are designed to better negotiate turns. Curtis D. Summers continued to use this design at other Taft-owned parks including Kings Dominion in Virginia where the coaster, which opened in 1982, is known as Grizzly. Though similar in layout, the ride was tempered when reproduced as The Bush Beast at Wonderland Sydney in 1985 and at California's Great America as Grizzly in 1986. The coaster was featured in the Fraggle Rock episode "The Thirty-Minute Work Week", where Uncle Travelling Matt took a ride on it, as he mistook it for a form of transportation. Puppeteer Dave Goelz has a cameo in the scene as the man next to Matt. In 2015, the track was partially reconstructed after the first hill to create a smoother ride experience.

William Allman Memorial Arena

The William Allman Memorial Arena is an ice hockey arena in Stratford, Ontario. It is also one of the world's oldest continuously operated arenas. Opened in 1924 as the Classic City Arena then was purchased by the City in 1941 and renamed the Stratford Arena. It was given its current name in December 1996 to honour long-time arena manager William (Bill) Allman. The arena has undergone many renovations over the past 100 years but has been open and operational for every hockey season since 1924, making it one of the world's oldest continuously operating arenas. In September 2009, the arena received heritage designation by the City of Stratford under Part IV (Municipal Heritage Designation) of the Ontario Heritage Act. This arena is home to the Jr. B Stratford Warriors (formerly the Stratford Cullitons) as well as senior hockey team the Stratford Fighting Irish. It also hosts various minor hockey games and is the home arena of the Stratford Skating Club. The arena has a long and colourful history. It hosted a Howie Morenz benefit game featuring the Montreal Canadiens in 1937 following Morenz's death, was the location of Wayne Gretzky's first-ever minor hockey goal, hosted CBC's 'Hockey Day in Canada' in 2010, and saw many NHLers launch their NHL careers as juniors with the Cullitons, including Mark Bell, Rob Blake, Kevin Dahl, Louie DeBrusk, Greg de Vries, Boyd Devereaux, Nelson Emerson, Jeff Halpern, Rem Murray, Eddie Olczyk, Mike Peluso, Chris Pronger, Garth Snow and Tim Taylor. To mark its 100th birthday, a book about the arena was published in 2024.

William Allman Memorial Arena

William Allman Memorial Arena, prvotno Stratford Arena, je hokejska dvorana v Stratfordu, Ontario. Zgrajena je bila leta 1924. Uporabljali so jo Stratford Kroehlers (OHL) do 1951, trenutno je domača dvorana GOJHL moštva Stratford Cullitons. Do leta 1996 se je dvorana imenovala Stratford Arena, nato pa je v čast dolgoletnega funkcionarja in menedžerja privzela ime William Allman Memorial Arena. Dvorana je splošno prepoznana kot ena najbolje ohranjenih straih dvoran v Kanadi, zato so jo uporabili za snemanje številnih filmov in televizijskih oddaj, med drugim tudi za Bauerjevo oglaševalsko kampanjo "Pusti vtis" ("Leave an impression"). Seznam NHL-ovcev, ki so svoje kariere začeli pri Cullitonsih, vključuje naslednje: Mark Bell, Rob Blake, Kevin Dahl, Louie DeBrusk, Greg de Vries, Boyd Deveraux, Nelson Emerson, Jeff Halpern, Rem Murray, Ed Olczyk, Mike Peluso, Chris Pronger, Garth Snow, Tim Taylor in mnoge druge.

William McBrien Building

William McBrien Building (formally known as the W. C. McBrien Building) is the administrative headquarters of the Toronto Transit Commission. Designed by Charles B. Dolphin (1888-1969) and opened on February 7, 1958, the seven-storey building is located at 1900 Yonge Street above the Davisville subway station. The building is named for former TTC Chairman William C. McBrien who died in June 1954, shortly after the opening of the Yonge Subway. The TTC's Customer Service Centre is located on the ground floor of the building. The building is 28 metres (92 ft) wide, 50 metres (163 ft) long and contains 11,000 square metres (120,000 sq ft) of floor space. Its exterior is made of limestone quarried at Queenston, Ontario. The main-floor lobby is lined with light brown Italian marble. The building incorporates an entrance to Davisville subway station located below street level as well as bus bays at ground level. The building design allows for expansion from its current seven storeys to ten storeys. Prior to the opening of the McBrien Building, the TTC head office was in the old Toronto Board of Trade Building (built 1890 and demolished 1958) located at the north-east corner of Yonge and Front streets. This was the TTC's first permanent home since April 1922. The TTC outgrew the old building with its limited floor space, and starting in 1928, the TTC had to acquire space elsewhere. Starting in 1953, functions such as purchasing, safety, research, engineering, among others were moved to the J.G. Inglis Building at the Hillcrest Complex. In 1958, the executive, legal and treasury functions moved to the McBrien Building. Relocation In 2015, the TTC considered relocating from the building because of ongoing concerns about the state of the building and for head office staff to be in one location. Earlier plans to relocate to Yonge and York Mills had been rejected for costs. As of 2022, the TTC plans to move its headquarters out of the building in 2025, with a TTC master control centre remaining there until 2028. The move would consolidate office space and free up municipally owned property for redevelopment. The city of Toronto intends to preserve the heritage aspects of the building. Besides 1900 Yonge, the TTC leases seven other locations to house head office staff. References External links Media related to McBrien Building at Wikimedia Commons
Windsor Arena

Windsor Arena (nicknamed The Barn) is an indoor arena located in Windsor, Ontario. Its capacity is approximately 4,400 with standing room. The arena's ice is 80 feet (24 m) by 195 feet (59 m) or 15,600 square feet (1,450 m2). The arena was the home of the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League from 1975 to 2008, at which time the team's home was moved to the WFCU Centre. History Originally named the Border Cities Arena, it hosted the Detroit Cougars (later renamed the Detroit Red Wings) for the 1926-1927 NHL season, while the Olympia Stadium was under construction. The Border Cities Arena, built in 1925 for the local junior hockey team, was expanded from 6,000 to 9,000 for the Cougars. The arena was later renamed the Windsor Arena. Having been constructed in 1924, the arena is among the oldest of its type in North America. In 2006, the WFCU Centre, located in the city's east side off Lauzon Road, was approved by the Windsor city council. The decision to replace the arena is attributed to complaints about Windsor Arena's seating and tiny concourses. The Spitfires' final game at the Windsor Arena was played on December 4, 2008. Windsor beat the Guelph Storm 2-1, giving the Spitfires a perfect 12-0 record at The Barn for the 2008-09 season. From 2009 until 2013, the University of Windsor Lancers hockey teams took over as the major tenants of the arena. Also, the Windsor Minor Hockey Association used this arena for games until 2013. In February 2014, the arena was used as a site for salt storage. In April 2014, Catholic Central High School proposed a plan to construct a new school on the site, with the full demolition of Windsor Arena being part of the plan without any emphasis. The City of Windsor approved the plan to build the new Catholic Central High School on the site, but the plans never came to fruition and the school was constructed elsewhere.

Windsor Arms Apartments

The Windsor Arms Apartments is an historic five-storey, 42-unit apartment building located at 150 Argyle Avenue in Ottawa, Ontario. History The Windsor Arms Apartments, designed by architect Cecil Burgess, was completed on April 1, 1930, at a cost of $300,000 (in 1930 dollars). The builder claimed this cost to be 85% above the average cost of construction because of conveniences incorporated into the structure. The building's design features a detailed entrance portico, stained and leaded glass windows, and wood-burning fireplaces in some units. Upon its initial occupancy, the building offered lobby and parking attendants, as well as maid services. In June 1984, the then landlord informed tenants that the building would be sold for conversion into a form of condominium. Under this plan, purchasers would buy units as tenants-in-common, meaning each owner would have a stake in the property without owning a specific part of the building. This approach bypassed a municipal by-law that prevented apartment-condominium conversions at the time. However, in November of the same year, tenants successfully resisted the conversion scheme. The owner at the time confirmed that the condo development deal was "up the flue", stating it would be more profitable to convert the ground floor units into offices instead. The current property management, Andrex Holdings, has returned all units to residential occupancy. Designation & Restoration The building is a designated Category 1 heritage building within the Centretown Heritage Conservation District. In 2009, the City of Ottawa awarded a 'Certificate of Merit – Restoration' to Keystone Traditional Masonry Inc. and Andrex Holdings Ltd. for the rebuilding of the staggered brick and stone parapets.

Withrow Park

Withrow Park is a 8.5-hectare (21-acre) park in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Laid out and constructed in the 1910s, at the same time that the surrounding community was built, Withrow Park is among Toronto's large multi-purpose parks. The park is bounded by Carlaw Avenue on the east, Bain Avenue on the south, Logan Avenue on the west and McConnell Avenue on the north. Withrow Park is named after John Jacob Withrow (1833–1900), a local landowner and builder, who also served as a city alderman and was one of the founders of what would become the Canadian National Exhibition. The park gained nationwide notoriety in 2004 when hot dogs laced with carbofuran were left in the park, killing one dog and poisoning 15 others. While the poisonings were under criminal investigation, the City closed most of Withrow Park by surrounding it with a chain-link fence, causing controversy in the neighbourhood. No charges were ever laid. In February 2008, the Toronto Maple Leafs ice hockey team held a practice in Withrow Park, to mark the recent refurbishment of the park's ice rink and related facilities.
