Contemporary newspapers were scanned to obtain a chronicle of the signi• ficant sporting developments and events during the period between the first Fraser River gold rush of 18 58 and the completion of the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway in 188 5. During this period, it is apparent that certain sports facilitated a rapid expansion of activities when the railway brought thousands of new settlers to the province in the closing years of the century.

  • Slow Senate Start Amid Pandemic a Lesson to Limit Delay Tactics, Says
    Fourni par InfoMédia http://www.infomedia.gc.ca/parl Provided by NewsDesk Publié | Published: 2020-11-04 Hill Times Reçu | Received: 2020-11-04 00:01 (HNE) Slow Senate start amid pandemic a lesson to limit delay tactics, says CSG leader 'Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it,' says Sen. Scott Tannas. Samantha Wright Allen With Senators finally nailing down hybrid sittings and striking committees after months of disagreement that led to limited work during the pandemic, one Senate leader says his colleagues have learned their lesson about capitulating to procedural delays and will likely have "little patience" for such tactics going forward. "Our job is not to play procedural inside baseball around organization of the Senate, and we've done a lot of that, and I'm tired of it. A lot of people are tired of it," said Canadian Senators Group Leader Scott Tannas. One example of that inside baseball played out on Oct. 29, said the Alberta Senator, with the long path to setting up committees coming to an end. The agreement guarantees allocated committee seats stay with various groups rather than individual Senators, which some said leaves powers in leaders' hands and violates the rules granting rights to Senators. The Progressive Senate Group (PSG), the smallest of the four recognized groups, said the vote in the Chamber-held before hybrid sittings were instituted-was done at the expense of giving all Senators a voice, while the other three groups said a clear majority supported the move.

Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule MPPs are heading back to their ridings for the March Break constituency week. The House is adjourned until Monday, March 18. Thursday’s debates and proceedings MPPs considered Bill 74, People’s Health Care Act, before question period. The legislation to ​ ​ ​ ​ establish an Ontario Health super-agency needs roughly two more hours of debate before a second-reading vote can be called. A Tory backbench bill and motion, as well as inaugural Ontario Green legislation, chugged forward during the afternoon’s private members’ business: ● PC MPP Christine Hogarth’s Bill 65, Protecting Our Pets Act, will go under the ​ ​ ​ ​ microscope at the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. The bill would establish an advisory committee to report on the quality of care for companion animals kept for entertainment, breeding, exhibition, boarding, hire or sale. ● PC MPP Donna Skelly’s motion — calling on the government to design a plan to ​ ​ ​ ​ promote a no-cost program that encourages unwanted clothing and textiles be donated to local charitable and non-profit organizations — passed after debate. (Motions are non-binding but have symbolic value — and Skelly’s got a dedicated hashtag from the premier: “#DontDumpDonate.) ​ ​ ● Green Leader Mike Schreiner’s Bill 71, Paris Galt Moraine Conservation Act, to protect ​ ​ ​ ​ the drinking water supply in Guelph, Wellington County and Waterloo region, is off to be studied by the general government committee.
