But it is not always straightforward for citizens to understand the state of their municipal government’s finances, and even less straight- forward to understand how their government performs relative to other municipalities. To help create awareness and encourage debate, this report provides a summary analy- sis of important financial information for 26 municipalities in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), spanning the eight-year period from 2009 to 2016. Government spending There is considerable variation in per-person spending among the GTHA’s 26 munici- palities. Toronto, the region’s largest city, was the highest spender in 2016 ($4,010 per person), while Milton spent the least ($2,385 per person). Mississauga, Brampton and Hamilton, the region’s next largest cities, spent $2,705, $2,804, and $3,086, respectively.

  • Oshawa Community Museum & Archives
    Presented by the Oshawa Community Museum & Archives Exhibit Sponsors and Partners Thank you to the following individuals: Linda Bazowsky Mr. Eric Glenholmes ~ WHY ARE SHIPS CALLED ‘SHE’? Ships are referred to as a ‘She’ or a female name because of the Romans. Ships have a feminine possession and it is thought that this is where the term comes from as all Roman ships were a ‘she’. Curator's Remarks by Melissa Cole, Curator The mainstay of research is obtaining source information that can be verified. When researching 19th century shipping there is an abundance of source data. This includes newspapers of the day such as the Toronto Telegram, Oshawa Vindicator, and The Kingston News. There are Great Lakes Vessel Registries, Inland Lloyds Lake Vessel Registry and Great Lakes Database, many of these resources can be viewed directly online! Through my own research and research of others including Ken Crichton, student volunteer Shawn Perron and Robert Stephenson - who was an Oshawa Diver and amateur ship-wreck researcher. Mr Stephenson spent much of his time diving in the Great Lakes seeking out the next ship wreck. All of this research has been compiled to create the exhibit, The Sea Shanty: Exploring Oshawa’s Relationship with Lake Ontario.
