  • Canadian All-Stars, 1932-50
    PFRA ANNUAL 1986 1 CANADIAN ALL-STARS, 1932-50 Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In Canadian football the Schenley Awards sometimes overshadow the annual league all-star selections. The Schenleys have been awarded to the most outstanding player, Canadian player, lineman and rookie of each season, beginning in 1953. These are not the only talent awards in Canadian football, however. At least since 1932, sportswriters or coaches or combinations of the two have chosen eastern and western all-star teams. Some of the earlier listings have been seldom reprinted. Here is the complete list of official teams from 1932 to 1950. Presumably there were unofficial listings before 1932, but that is a topic for further research. Most of the early eastern teams were chosen by the press. It is not clear how the western all- stars were chosen. 1932 All Eastern (Canadian Press) Flying wing -- Abe Eliowitz, Ottawa Half -- Frank Turville, Hamilton Flying wing -- D.

  • Premier Not Satisfied with MNR Handling Cursory Look at the Oct
    Page 4 — ALMAGUIN NEWS, Wednesday, November 7, 2007 THE ALMAGUIN NEWS Box 518, BURK’S FALLS, ONTARIO P0A 1C0 Phone: Burk’s Falls 705-382-3843 • Powassan 705-724-2741 • 1-800-731-6397 • Fax: 705-382-3440 Email: [email protected] IS A DIVISION OF METROLAND MEDIA GROUP LTD. Joe Anderson, Vice-President and Regional Publisher Premier not satisfied with MNR handling cursory look at the Oct. 10 provincial election could have given Premier Dalton A McGuinty a pretty rosy outlook on how Ontarians view his governing over the past four years. But a little deeper delving into the results demonstrates that all is not well for Liberals in Northern Ontario. In Thunder Bay-Atikokan, Liberal MPP Bill Mauro squeaked to victory over his NDP opponent by a paltry 36 votes. Former Minister of Natural Resources David Ramsay had one of his closest calls in his 22 years of Queen’s Parking, winning by only 634 votes. But no result may be more troubling than the narrow victory of our own Monique Smith. When Smith’s margin of victory shrank from more than 3,000 in the 2003 election against incumbent Al McDonald to only 357 votes against Bill Vrebosch, it caught our eye. It must also have caught Premier McGuinty’s as well. Despite huge progress on the four-laning of Hwy. 11, a new hospital under construction, relative peace on the education front and what seemed to be a competent campaign, it came down to the last ballot box for Smith to claim her ticket to Toronto.

    April 16, 2021 The Honourable Doug Ford Premier of Ontario Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto ON M7A 1A1 The Honourable Ross Romano Ministry of Colleges and Universities 5th Floor 438 University Ave. Toronto ON M7A 2A5 Dear Premier Ford and Minister Romano, On behalf of the Archives Association of Ontario (AAO), I am writing to you today to express my concern and disappointment about the dire situation affecting Laurentian University. This University is a pillar of academic and cultural prosperity for our entire Northern community with a unique mission to support French, English and Indigenous communities. It provides hundreds of jobs in Northern Ontario, while also being a source of research that contributes to the advancement of economic, medical, and social well-being in the North. As a network representing over 350 archival research institutions and information professionals, the AAO acknowledges the value that Laurentian University – its faculty and students – brings to Ontario. Furthermore, the AAO recognizes the importance of programs that support Ontario’s diverse culture, history, and heritage. As such, the AAO demands that the Government of Ontario assist Laurentian University in preserving programs and stabilizing their operations. We urge you to deliver the immediate and long-term funding that is necessary to end Laurentian University’s insolvency and stop these costly Companies’ and Creditors’ Arrangement Act legal proceedings. The steady erosion of public funding has put the future of Laurentian University, its programs, students’ educations, and jobs at risk. Given that Ontario pays the lowest amount of public dollars per-student towards post-secondary education in all of Canada, many other post-secondary institutions across Ontario are also in critical financial positions.

  • Spark the Fire Agend
    Spark the fire Realizing the Untapped Potential of Ontario’s North Friday, May 12, 2017 Best Western – 700 Lakeshore Drive, North Bay, ON Ontario’s Ring of Fire represents a $60-billion multi-generational economic opportunity, arguably the world’s most promising mineral development project in more than a century. However, this potential is shrouded by both technical and societal challenges, multi-level political decision-making, dynamic risks, and palpable uncertainty. The scale and complexity of these challenges makes the Ring of Fire a mega-project. As born problem solvers, it is time that Ontario’s engineers ask themselves: How can engineers spark the fire and realize the untapped potential of Ontario’s north? Join engineering, industry, government, academic, and First Nations leaders for an important discussion on the future of Ontario’s north. On innovation, energy, infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and relations with First Nations Communities—our broad spectrum of presenters will be answering tough questions and charting the future development of Ontario’s north.
