  • Schedule B Statement of Cultural Value Or Interest and Heritage Attributes St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 270 Stone Street South, Gananoque, Ontario
    SCHEDULE B STATEMENT OF CULTURAL VALUE OR INTEREST AND HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 270 STONE STREET SOUTH, GANANOQUE, ONTARIO STATEMENT OF CULTURAL VALUE OR INTEREST: - The church and rectory, built 1890-91, is the only example of a full expression the Romanesque Revival style in Gananoque. There are two others of much lesser stylistic significance. Further, not only are the church and rectory some of the best examples this style in Eastern Ontario under the religious and residential categories of this style, but they are unprecedented as a linked combination of the oeuvre by a distinguished architect constructed as part of the same building programme. - St. John`s shows remarkable craftsmanship. Constructed of limestone from nearby Howe Island, this has been used both for rough, ashlar and finely finished effect. - St. John`s does not show a high degree of technical or scientific achievement for the time of its construction. - St. John’s has direct associations with the first Archbishop of Kingston, James Vincent Cleary who zealously Irish-Catholic faith and hence the construction of the Gananoque church; the Roman Catholic School System in Eastern Ontario, the presence of the Sisters of Providence for medical, educational, and musical benefice; Eva Delaney – local theatre business person, politician (particularly prominent in health care outreach) and a major St. John`s church supporter in music, Catholic Women`s League, and educational activities; and Gananoque`s Chapter of the Knights of Columbus. - Located on the east side of the Gananoque River, on Stone Street South, along which are the principal religious institutions of the town, the property illustrates the development of what was then the most populous area of town.

  • Executive Summary This Report Is the First Step in Evaluating Source Water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA)
    Cataraqui Source Protection Area Watershed Characterization Report March 2008 Executive Summary This report is the first step in evaluating source water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA). It provides base information for the synthesis of a final assessment report which is the foundation of the source protection plan for the CSPA. The CSPA is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. It includes a portion of the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay, the southern half of the Rideau Canal and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River. It includes 11 municipalities within the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) jurisdiction plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and about 1,800 smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River (see Figure 1-2). The area is characterized by the exposed bedrock, lakes and woodlands of the Canadian Shield (Frontenac Axis) in the central part of the area, and the agricultural landscape of the limestone and clay plains to the south and east. Urban development is concentrated along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Stakeholders and Partners The diversity of the local landscape is reflected in the range of interested stakeholders within our watersheds. Our stakeholders and partners include municipalities, federal and provincial government agencies, community groups, businesses, residents, and visitors. In addition to working closely with our municipalities, we also work with local health units and provincial and federal government agencies. A variety of community organizations and individuals representing agriculture, cottagers, industry, the environment and recreation help to round out our stakeholder organizations and represent the various interests in our area.
