  • Schedule B Statement of Cultural Value Or Interest and Heritage Attributes St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 270 Stone Street South, Gananoque, Ontario
    SCHEDULE B STATEMENT OF CULTURAL VALUE OR INTEREST AND HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 270 STONE STREET SOUTH, GANANOQUE, ONTARIO STATEMENT OF CULTURAL VALUE OR INTEREST: - The church and rectory, built 1890-91, is the only example of a full expression the Romanesque Revival style in Gananoque. There are two others of much lesser stylistic significance. Further, not only are the church and rectory some of the best examples this style in Eastern Ontario under the religious and residential categories of this style, but they are unprecedented as a linked combination of the oeuvre by a distinguished architect constructed as part of the same building programme. - St. John`s shows remarkable craftsmanship. Constructed of limestone from nearby Howe Island, this has been used both for rough, ashlar and finely finished effect. - St. John`s does not show a high degree of technical or scientific achievement for the time of its construction. - St. John’s has direct associations with the first Archbishop of Kingston, James Vincent Cleary who zealously Irish-Catholic faith and hence the construction of the Gananoque church; the Roman Catholic School System in Eastern Ontario, the presence of the Sisters of Providence for medical, educational, and musical benefice; Eva Delaney – local theatre business person, politician (particularly prominent in health care outreach) and a major St. John`s church supporter in music, Catholic Women`s League, and educational activities; and Gananoque`s Chapter of the Knights of Columbus. - Located on the east side of the Gananoque River, on Stone Street South, along which are the principal religious institutions of the town, the property illustrates the development of what was then the most populous area of town.

  • Executive Summary This Report Is the First Step in Evaluating Source Water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA)
    Cataraqui Source Protection Area Watershed Characterization Report March 2008 Executive Summary This report is the first step in evaluating source water in the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA). It provides base information for the synthesis of a final assessment report which is the foundation of the source protection plan for the CSPA. The CSPA is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. It includes a portion of the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay, the southern half of the Rideau Canal and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River. It includes 11 municipalities within the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) jurisdiction plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and about 1,800 smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River (see Figure 1-2). The area is characterized by the exposed bedrock, lakes and woodlands of the Canadian Shield (Frontenac Axis) in the central part of the area, and the agricultural landscape of the limestone and clay plains to the south and east. Urban development is concentrated along the shoreline of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. Stakeholders and Partners The diversity of the local landscape is reflected in the range of interested stakeholders within our watersheds. Our stakeholders and partners include municipalities, federal and provincial government agencies, community groups, businesses, residents, and visitors. In addition to working closely with our municipalities, we also work with local health units and provincial and federal government agencies. A variety of community organizations and individuals representing agriculture, cottagers, industry, the environment and recreation help to round out our stakeholder organizations and represent the various interests in our area.

  • In the Famous 1000 Islands (Year Round Availability & Access)
    The Kelly Cottage In the Famous 1000 Islands (year round availability & access) Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane, Minutes to Kingston & Gananoque (near public Golf Courses & Charity Casino) 1 Welcome to Howe Island … or as the locals say, Welcome to ‘The Island’. Howe Island is a 31 km² island located in the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario, is part of the Thousand Islands chain and measures approximately 13 km X 5 km. Originally named Ka-ou-enesegoan by local Iroquois and later Isle Cauchois after its first French owners who took possession in 1685, it became known as Howe Island on July 16th, 1792 , supposedly named after George Augustus, Lord Howe. There is some evidence that it was once called St. John's. There is no evidence of any permanent inhabitation until 1810 by a man named William Casey. In the following four decades successive waves of settlers brought many of the island's long standing families who still live or own land there. The population currently numbers approximately 300 residents, although this figure doubles in the summer months when recreational properties are occupied. Two, year- round ferry services connect ‘The Island’ to the mainland. Main Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest Kingston 15 cars on demand; 24 hrs/day 7 days/week; year round East Island Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest to Gananoque 3 cars on demand; 7 days/week 6:00 am – 12:45 am *on demand = no scheduled times; simply arrive @ Ferry dock on either side for pickup. 2 Driving Directions to Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane From West Highway 401East to Exit 632 Joyceville turn right; cross Hwy 2; proceed to Howe Island Ferry dock.

  • European Water Chestnut Eradication Program 2016 / 2017 Year-End Update
    European Water Chestnut Eradication Program 2016 / 2017 Year-End Update This document was prepared by Justin White, Ducks Unlimited Canada Coordinator of the European Water Chestnut Eradication Program This document was produced with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry A warm thank you to our partners and supporters 2 EDRR Water Chestnut Program Update The following is the FY16/17 water chestnut program update. It will discuss program funding, results, conclusions and proposed actions for 2017/2018. The appendix includes the analysis and breakdown2014-2016 data of removed plants from Wolfe Island - Bayfield Bay, Button Bay, Browns Bay, as well as 2014-2016 surveillance locations associated with the DUC Habitat Suitability Model Surveillance Locations for European Water Chestnut in Eastern Lake Ontario and the Upper St. Lawrence River. Program Funding For 2016/2017, a Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) funding request of $48,000.00 was placed by Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Kingston Field Office. The funding request was approved and provided the program with a rental truck, program equipment and staffing dollars to operate until March 31, 2016. This application was a multi-year application and therefore requiring confirmation by MNRF Kingston District annually for continued support in seeking COA funding. It should be noted that the COA request of $48,000.00 was subject to HST per MNRF/DUC agreement; therefore DUC was obligated to charge $5522.12 in HST per agreement. The Invasive Species Centre (ISC) provided DUC with $12,500.00 for operational costs while DUC was successful in obtaining a $10,000.00 grant from Ontario Wildlife Fund as well.
