Having recently recommended to the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering that they increase their activities in heritage bridge conservation, I was happy to participate in this inventory project as such initiatives highlight the significant and often overlooked relationship between engineering advancements and our cultural heritage. Over time the widespread loss of heritage bridges has occurred for a variety of reasons: deterioration, changes in highway requirements, or damage by storms like Hurricane Hazel. Today, however, with increasing attention towards cultural heritage, creative solutions are being explored for preserving heritage bridges. Protecting, conserving and celebrating our heritage bridges contributes to not only a greater understanding of the development of approaches to modern day engineering but also marks our progress as a nation, from early settlement to today’s modern and progressive communities.

The certifica­ tion of her bOiler,which was an essential requirement for her con­ tinuing operation, was carefully monitored and,in the autumn of 1970 railway enthusiasts in eastern North America were sustained by the hope that the Railway Transport Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission would accept a request from Canadian National for a six­ months extension of this certification beyond the terrtinal date of March 24,1971. Indeed,it was a foregone conclusion. In Montreal and Toronto,enthusiast groups confidently made plans for autumn 1971 ex­ cursions. Oh happy time 1 Oh equally happy prediction! NO. 6218 would thus be retired in a polychromatic crescendo of celebrations and autumn colours in Montreal - or equally,in Toronto - in September, 1971. THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MR. D. V.

  • Resilient City – Preparing for a Changing Climate Status Update and Next Steps
    PE15.2 STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Resilient City – Preparing for a Changing Climate Status Update and Next Steps Date: November 2, 2016 To: Parks and Environment Committee From: Chief Corporate Officer Wards: All Wards Reference P:\2016\Internal Services\E&E\Pe16012e&e (AFS 22279) Number: SUMMARY Toronto has and is forecast to experience altered patterns of extreme weather as a result of climate change. Enhancing the resilience of Toronto’s infrastructure and services to these changing weather patterns to reduce the risk of damage and associated costs, injury and emergency situations is a priority of City Council. In 2014, City Council adopted the Climate Change Risk Management Policy outlining responsibilities and a governance structure for implementing the policy. Council also directed that staff report back on the status of implementation of the policy in 2016. Implementation of the policy has been guided by use of a Thematic Area High Level Risk Assessment (HLRA) approach, designed by the cross-corporate Resilient City Work Group to: - identify and assess potential risks of climate change and associated extreme weather events; - define the interdependencies between key infrastructure and service providers, both private and public sector; and - outline the actions that could be taken to mitigate priority risks. Over the past year, High Level Risk Assessments (HLRA) have been undertaken in three Thematic Areas: Utilities, Transportation and Water, in close collaboration with City divisions, as well as external private and broader public sector organizations. To date, work has involved City Planning, Environment & Energy, Engineering & Construction Services, Toronto Water, Toronto Public Health, Transportation Services, Toronto Resilient City Update and Next Steps 1 Transit Commission (TTC), Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), Toronto Hydro, Metrolinx, Hydro One, Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), Enwave, Enbridge, and representatives of the telecom sector.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Algoma Central Railway Wilderness Tourism by Rail
    Algoma Central Railway Wilderness Rail Tourism Corridor Coalition for Algoma Passenger Trains www.captrains.ca AALLGGOOMMAA CCEENNTTRRAALL RRAAIILLWWAAYY:: WWIILLDDEERRNNEESSSS TTOOUURRIISSMM BBYY RRAAIILL October 2007 Page 1 Coalition for Algoma Passenger Trains Algoma Central Railway Wilderness Rail Tourism Corridor BUILDING BLOCKS The Algoma District has the building blocks to develop a world class wilderness tourism-by-rail corridor. ≤ The Algoma Central Railway (ACR)—a functioning rail line since 1899—with links to the Ontario Northland, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific railways ≤ The ACR is a north-south line linking Highways 11 and 17, the two major trans-Canada highways ≤ The ACR travels through 300 miles/475 kilometres of arguably the most beautiful wilderness landscape in Ontario—much of it still without road access ≤ The ACR journey begins in Sault Ste Marie, crosses lakes and rivers flowing south to Lake Superior (the world’s largest fresh water lake) and then crosses into the watershed of lakes and rivers flowing north to Hudson Bay ≤ The ACR revisits the iconic Canadian art history landscape where the Group of Seven painted much of their best known works—while living in boxcars and train stations on the ACR line ≤ The ACR serves some 35 towns and hamlets, including Sault Ste. Marie, Searchmont, Trout Lake, Spruce Lake, Frater, Eton, Sand Lake, Hawk Junction, Dubreuilville, Franz, Wabatong, Oba and Hearst ≤ The ACR goes through cultural communities representing the three founding peoples of Canada: First Nations, Francophone and Anglophone ≤ The ACR travels through the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve— the world’s largest game preserve—and Lake Superior Provincial Park ≤ The ACR is one of North America’s few remaining “flag stop” trains where passengers can disembark or flag down the train anywhere along the line.
