    Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2014-157 PDF version Route reference: 2013-360 Ottawa, 2 April 2014 My Broadcasting Corporation Carleton Place, Ontario Application 2013-0869-3, received 12 June 2013 Public hearing in the National Capital Region 3 October 2013 English-language FM radio station in Carleton Place The Commission denies, by majority vote, the application for a broadcasting licence to operate an English-language commercial FM radio station in Carleton Place. Application 1. My Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) filed an application for a broadcasting licence to operate an English-language commercial FM radio station in Carleton Place. MBC requested that its application be considered as a proposal for a first commercial radio service in this market. 2. The proposed station would operate at 107.7 MHz (channel 299A) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 362 watts (maximum ERP of 675 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 99.4 metres). 3. MBC currently uses 107.7 MHz for CHMY-FM-1 Arnprior, a transmitter of CHMY-FM Renfrew. In English-language FM radio station in Arnprior, Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2014-158, also issued today, the Commission has addressed a second application by MBC for a licence to operate an FM station in Arnprior. If its application for a Carleton Place station were approved, MBC proposed that the Arnprior station operate at 97.5 MHz, making 107.7 MHz available for the Carleton Place station. 4. The proposed station in Carleton Place would offer a gold-based Adult Contemporary music format for adults aged 25 to 54.

  • 2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway
    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.

  • Bill Allen -- Nineteenth Century Aboriginal Farmers of the Madawaska River
    Nineteenth Century Aboriginal Farmers of the Madawaska River Bill Allen, Heritage One Research ABSTRACT Early in the nineteenth century Aboriginal people were practising farming along the Madawaska River. The Madawaska is prominent in several ancient canoe routes between the Ottawa River Watershed and Georgian Bay Watershed so, not surprisingly, the evidence of Aboriginal farming lies at key points along these routes. In the third quarter of the century, as large scale timber operations pushed further into the interior in areas now part of Algonquin Park, Aboriginal farmers were among the first to clear land, plant crops and build homes and other structures. Recent archaeological evidence confirms locations noted in early survey maps and other primary documents and confirms the mutual support of farming and timbering. The evidence challenges us to accept the extent to which Algonquin families embraced farming in the period prior to the formation of Algonquin Park and the arrival of the railway. This paper provides background about Madawaska canoe routes and features as well as illustrations of Aboriginal farming development and the role of key people such as Algonquin Chief Peter Sharbot. RÉSUMÉ Au début du XIXe siècle, les peuples autochtones pratiquaient l’agriculture sur les rives de la Madawaska. Cette rivière joue un rôle important comme ancienne voie de canotage entre le bassin hydrographique de la rivière des Outaouais et celui de la baie Georgienne; il n’est donc pas étonnant que les traces de cultures autochtones se retrouvent à des points clés le long de ces voies. Dans le troisième quart du siècle, avec l’expansion des exploitations de bois de sciage à l’intérieur du territoire, dans des régions faisant partie de l’actuel parc Algonquin, les fermiers autochtones ont été parmi les premiers à défricher la terre, à cultiver, et à construire des maisons et d’autres structures.

  • Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This Year, with the Help of Great Lakes Guardian Program, We Transformed How Ontarians Interacted with Local Waterbodies
    Meet the Water Rangers Guardians! This year, with the help of Great Lakes Guardian program, we transformed how Ontarians interacted with local waterbodies. Funding provided by An innovative environmental non-profit From the tiniest creek to the biggest lake, Canada is known for its water. Yet average citizens do not realize how their livelihood is connected with their watershed. Even when they learn about beaches closing or fish dying, they do not feel there is anything they can or should do. Water Rangers empowers citizens to learn and take action on water conservation through our user-friendly web platform, water stewardship training, and water quality testkits. Founded in 2015 through Aquahacking, we’re a non- profit organization based in Ottawa aiming to make water science easy to understand. We deepen our impact by providing tools and training to understand, test and protect waterways. About this Funding provided by project Water Rangers Guardians conduct water quality tests, clean up garbage and naturalize shorelines in order to become guardians for their local lake, river or stream! The program engaged community groups over the year, and trained students during excursions. This project w funded by Ontario through the Great Lakes Guardian Fund. Our Theory of Change states that when people learn Temiskaming about, then test water, they are prompted to take action Guardians must be located in the to protect it (Learn --> Test --> Act). Through this grant, thanks to Government of Ontario’s Great Lakes Guardian St. Lawrence River Watershed Fund, we took community and youth groups through this journey by first introducing them to water health, teach- (Ontario side) X ing them how to test water and the value of collecting Sudbury Q baseline data over time, and then prompting them to AX Q K act by collecting bags of garbage and restoring a modi- North Bay QUEBEC fied shoreline by letting it go natural and planting native shrubs.
