Meetings and Event Space MEETINGS AND EVENT SPACE Hotel X Toronto is set to be one of the most sought-after event venues in the city, with over 60,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meetings and event spaces available—many of which are bathed in natural light and offer breathtaking views of both the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario. The 406-room downtown urban resort offers spaces ideal for private celebrations, weddings, and corporate functions. Hotel X Toronto’s top-notch meeting and event facilities were built to enhance and expand the meeting, event and conference opportunities available at Exhibition Place. Located opposite the Enercare Centre, a 1 million-square foot-convention space that hosts some of the largest convention events in North America, the hotel was designed to accommodate the influx of people visiting the area. Ninety-three per cent of international event planners say that a destination’s cultural offerings are an important factor when choosing where to host meetings and events. As Canada’s largest city, Toronto is booming with culture and is regarded as the top Canadian domestic business travel destination. Toronto is recognized as one of the major food capitals in the world due to its unique multi-cultural culinary scene that pays tribute to the mix of ethnicities and cultures within the city. In addition, world-renowned festivals, events, and spaces celebrate arts, theatre and the city’s heritage all to the backdrop of stunning historical architecture. Hotel X Toronto’s cutting-edge facilities and amenities, coupled with city’s vibrant cultural personality make for the ideal destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions. LOBBY LEVEL (GROUND FLOOR) The New Fort Hall: Hotel X Toronto’s 2,876-square-foot archaeological exhibit, commemorating the period when New Fort York was built in the 1840s, adds a unique historic element to small private receptions for up to 330 people.

  • Rather Dead Than Enslaved: the Blacks of York in the War of 1812 by Peter Meyler
    The Newsletter of The Friends of Fort York and Garrison Common v. 16 No.4 Sept 2012 1 Rather Dead than Enslaved: The Blacks of 5 The Soldiers at Fort York Armoury York in the War of 1812 7 Bicentennial Timeline 2 “Particularly Torontoesque”: 8 Administrator’s Report Commemorating the Centennial of 9 Tracking Nature at Fort York the War of 1812 11 Upcoming Events 4 Brock Day in Guernsey Rather Dead than Enslaved: The Blacks of York in the War of 1812 by Peter Meyler In 1812 York may have been a “dirty straggling village,” but Upper Canada’s capital was also a place of diversity. Government officials, soldiers, merchants, and artisans mixed with clerks, servants, and even slaves in a town of barely 700 persons. The number who were Black can only be guessed at. Some were freeborn, others had escaped slavery from the United States, but a number were slaves. Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe’s 1793 Act prevented the further importation of slaves into Upper Canada, but did not free those who were enslaved. Among the province’s slave-owners was Robert Gray, the solicitor general. His household at York included his manservant, Simon Baker, Simon’s brother John, and two Black female servants. In 1804 Gray and Simon both perished when the Speedy, a ship on which they were travelling, was lost in a storm on Lake Ontario. Under Gray’s will, all his slaves were freed. During the War of 1812 John Baker left York and served with the 104th New Brunswick Regiment. He later returned to Upper Canada to live in Cornwall where he died in his nineties.

  • Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report
    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

  • Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009
    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.

  • Lake Ontario
    Lake Ontario For the hydrocarbon lake on Titan, see Ontario Lacus. Lake Ontario (French: Lac Ontario) is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is bounded on the north, west, and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south and east by the American state of New York. Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, was named for the lake. In the Wyandot (Huron) lan- guage, ontarío means “Lake of Shining Waters”. It is the last in the Great Lakes chain and serves as the outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. Lake On- tario is also the only one of the five Great Lakes not to share a shoreline with the American state of Michigan.

The newspapers had warned of the possibility for months and throughout that summer residents paid close attention to events in Europe. Indeed, on the Civic Holiday of 3 August 1914 thousands gathered at newspaper offices for the latest news when they could have been at a city park or enjoying an excursion to the Toronto Islands. A few days later, the Toronto Star reported sales of 100,000 copies of its Extra edition containing the news that on 4 August 1914 Great Britain had declared war on Germany and that perforce, Canada was at war. Within days, officials in Ottawa announced that an expeditionary force of volunteers would be assembled at Valcartier military camp north of Quebec City. Thousands Thomas Langton Church (1870-1950), mayor of Toronto 1915-1921, seen here from across Canada, having anticipated war, headed there on the right striking a jaunty pose, attended hundreds of recruiting rallies immediately.
