The recommended trail route spans four wards and has the potential to be a city wide tourist destination, offering connections to natural vistas, recreational amenities and heritage destinations across the area that is locally known as the Mountain Brow. In determining the recommended trail route, the study involved conducting a comprehensive review of the area context; existing site conditions; relevant documents, policies, legislation, master plans and studies; best practices in trail design; public safety; and a public engagement process.

  • Which Canadian Charities Had the Largest Assets in 2014?
    www.canadiancharitylaw.ca Which Canadian charities had the largest assets in 2014? By Mark Blumberg (March 23, 2016) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2014. It covers about 84,370 of the 86,000 registered charities that have so far filed their return and that have been entered into the CRA’s database. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 their assets. The total assets of all the 84,370 registered charities were about $373,050,327,255.00. Below we have a table of Canadian charities and how much they spent as reported for the 2014 fiscal year. Thank you to Celeste Bonas, an intern at Blumbergs, for helping with this project. The Sean Blumberg Transparency Project is in memory of my youngest brother Sean Blumberg. Sean was a sweet, kind person, a great brother who helped me on a number of occasions with many tasks including the time consuming and arduous task of reviewing T3010 databases and making them into something useful. As part of the Sean Blumberg Transparency Project, Blumbergs has been releasing information on the Canadian charity sector to provide a better understanding of the size, scope, complexity and challenges of the sector. Please review my caveats at the end about the reliability and usage of T3010 information. 1 www.canadiancharitylaw.ca List of Canadian charities with the largest assets in 2014 Line 4200 Name of Canadian Registered Charity largest assets 1.

  • Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan
    Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan A cooperative resource management plan developed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Royal Botanical Gardens April 7, 2010 Correct citation for this publication: Bowlby, J.N. , K. McCormack, and M.G. Heaton. 2010. Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan Executive Summary Introduction The Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan (HHWFMP) provides information about the characteristics of the watershed, the state of fisheries resources, and guidance for the management of fisheries resources in the watershed. The need for the HHWFMP developed directly from successes of the Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan (RAP) to restore water quality and fish habitat in Hamilton Harbour and its watershed. Hamilton Harbour is a large embayment at the western tip of Lake Ontario. The main tributaries of Hamilton Harbour include Spencer Creek, Grindstone Creek, and Red Hill Creek. The Hamilton Harbour watershed, which includes the contributing streams and creeks, covers an area of approximately 500 km2. It encompasses some of the regions most scenic and diverse landscapes: the Niagara Escarpment is a prominent physical feature, and Cootes Paradise is one of the largest and most significant coastal wetlands of Lake Ontario. Water quality in Hamilton Harbour and Cootes Paradise is the most important factor that currently limits the successful restoration of sustainable, self–reproducing native fish community. In 1987, Hamilton Harbour was officially designated as an Area of Concern (AOC) by the International Joint Commission, pursuant to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

  • Canadian Perspective on Managing Multiple Myeloma During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned and Future Considerations
    SHORT COMMUNICATION Canadian perspective on managing multiple myeloma during the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons learned and future considerations † ‡ § || # R. Foley MD,* R. Kaedbey MD, K. Song MD, C.P. Venner MD, D. White MD, S. Doucette MSc, # A. Christofides MSc RD, and D.E. Reece MD** ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has necessitated changes to the way patients with chronic diseases are managed. Given that patients with multiple myeloma are at increased risk of COVID-19 infection and related complications, national bodies and experts around the globe have made recommendations for risk mitigation strategies for those vulnerable patients. Understandably, because of the novelty of the virus, many of the proposed risk mitigation strategies have thus far been reactionary and cannot be supported by strong evidence. In this editorial, we highlight some of the risk mitigation strategies implemented at our institutions across Canada during the first wave ofCOVID -19, and we discuss the considerations that should be made when managing patients during the second wave and beyond. Key Words Coronavirus, COVID-19, multiple myeloma Curr Oncol. 2020 October27(5)270–274 www.current-oncology.com INTRODUCTION With the experience gained in managing MM during the first wave of COVID-19, it is now important to consider best In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the practices for risk mitigation during the second wave.

  • THE NATURE of HEALING Living Architecture for Long Term Care & Rehabilitation Hospitals
    THE NATURE OF HEALING Living Architecture for Long Term Care & Rehabilitation Hospitals By LAUREN KYLE A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfi lment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture in Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Lauren Kyle 2019 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by my exminers. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Healthcare interiors are perceived as stressful and isolating spaces; endured during times of vulnerability causing stress for patients, visitors and staff . This thesis examines studies, which prove that this psychological stress is intensifi ed by the overly artifi cial and sterile conditions typical to medical environments. Further studies collected, reveal that this stress worsens the sensation of symptoms, causing increase in medication dosage and overall hinders the immune system and recovery outcomes. The paradox of the sterile healing environment is that nature, the adversary, is essential to healing processes. This thesis concentrates on research proving that not only do people generally prefer natural environments, as supported by the theory of Biophilia (see defi nition), but that exposure to elements of natural landscapes in healthcare spaces, greatly improves the holistic health of patients, visitors and staff . This thesis examines the historical and contemporary factors infl uencing the design of hospitals. In the past few decades, healthcare design has progressed by integrating therapeutic design, through these strategies discussed, Evidence-Based Design and Biophilic Design (see defi nitions).
