  • Self Guided Tour
    The Toronto Ghosts & Hauntings Research Society Present s… About This Document: Since early October of 1997, The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society has been collecting Toronto’s ghostly legends and lore for our website and sharing the information with anyone with an interest in things that go bump in the night… or day… or any time, really. If it’s ghostly in nature, we try to stay on top of it. One of the more popular things for a person with a passion for all things spooky is to do a “ghost tour”… which is something that our group has never really offered and never planned to do… but it is something we get countless requests about especially during the Hallowe’en season. Although we appreciate and understand the value of a good guided ghost tour for both the theatrical qualities and for a fun story telling time and as such, we are happy to send people in Toronto to Richard Fiennes-Clinton at Muddy York Walking Tours (who offers the more theatrical tours focusing on ghosts and history, see Image Above Courtesy of Toronto Tourism www.muddyyorktours.com) We do also understand that at Hallowe’en, these types of tours can Self Guided Walking Tour of fill up quickly and leave people in the lurch. Also, there are people that cannot make time for these tours because of scheduling or other commitments. Another element to consider is that we know there are Downtown Toronto people out there who appreciate a more “DIY” (do it yourself) flavour for things… so we have developed this booklet… This is a “DIY” ghost tour… self guided… from Union Station to Bloor Street….

  • Shining Scroll 2005
    1991 L.M. Montgomery and the Railway King of Canada by Christy Woster As only a true fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery could understand, it is thrilling to walk over the paths that Maud once did, or to sit in a room that she once occupied. A lesser-known destination that Maud visited often is Kirkfield, Ontario. Kirkfield is near Maud's home in Leaskdale and Lindsay, Ontario. Still standing in Kirkfield is the home of Sir William MacKenzie, now open to the public as an Inn and Bed and Breakfast. Maud stayed here often as a guest of the MacKenzie family, and must have loved the beauty of the surroundings. Sir William MacKenzie was born in 1849 in the Kirkfield area to John and Mary MacKenzie. When he was three years old his mother died and he went to live with his aunt and uncle, Catherine and Donald Munro. He attended public school in North Eldon, and graduated from the high school in Lindsay. In 1868 he assumed a teaching position and tried his hand at teaching for a year. Not thinking that he would like to pursue this as a career, he tried several other vocations, running a general store, the lumber business and construction. He found construction to be to his liking and by his mid twenties he was working as a contractor. In 1871 he began his work as a railroad contractor and laid down rails from Maine to the prairies of Canada. In 1872 he married Margaret Merry in Lindsay, Ontario. William was of Scottish descent and Protestant, Mary was Irish and Roman Catholic and so they had a very secret wedding with only two guests -- strangers from off the street.

  • Interactions
    DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIC S NEWSLETTER F A L L 2 0 1 8 Interactions Message from the Chair Welcome to the Fall 2018 issue of Interactions, the Department of Physics newsletter! There have been a number of changes in the Department over the summer, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading about some of them here. Here on the third floor, Stephen Julian has stepped down after a very successful five-year term as Chair. He’ll be succeeded by Kim Strong, but since she’s on leave this year I’ll be spending the year as Acting Chair. Some of you may remember that I was Chair from 2004-2013, and it’s good to be back working with the great staff and faculty in the department. William Trischuk’s term as Associate Chair for Graduate Studies also ended this summer, and that role will now be filled by Young-June Kim. As is traditional, in this issue we introduce you to a few of the members of the Department. We have a large experimental particle physics group, most of whom are involved in the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, and in this issue we have profiles of faculty member Pekka Sinervo as well as graduate student Haider Abidi. We also introduce you to undergraduate physics and philosophy specialist Matthew Gerry, as well as alumnus Felipe Morgado, who discusses how he progressed from an undergraduate degree in biophysics to an MD/PhD program. The Department continues to be heavily involved in outreach, and I hope many of you had the opportunity to visit one of our public events last year.

The list is very selective and we apolo­ gize for any oversights. Our aim is to take you through­ out the Borough and back through time to encounter a compendium of unique people, places and things. S. Walter Stewart Branch Area 1. Why is East York celebrating 200 years in 1996? In July of 1796, two brothers, Isaiah and Aaron Skinner were given permission to build a grist mill in the Don Valley, which they proceeded to do that winter. This began an industrial complex of paper mill, grist mill, brewery and distillery with later additions. In 1996, East York is celebrating 200 years of community. The Eastwood and Skinner mill, ca. 1877 from Torofilo IIIl1Slraled POSI & Prcsetl/. Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library 2. What is the area of East York? East York covers a physical area of2,149.7 hectares (8.3 square miles). Of the six municipalities comprising the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, East York is the smallest in size, area-wise. 3. What are the symbols on the East York Coat of Arms and what do they signify? The British bulldog, from the Township of East York signifies the tenacity and courage of early settlers from Britain. The white rose of York is a symbol of peace from the settlers' homeland.
