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.

Sec 2-Core Circle
TRANSFORMATIVE IDEA 1. THE CORE CIRCLE Re-imagine the valleys, bluffs and islands encircling the Downtown as a fully interconnected 900-hectare immersive landscape system THE CORE CIRLE 30 THE CORE CIRLE PUBLIC WORK 31 TRANSFORMATIVE IDEA 1. THE CORE CIRCLE N The Core Circle re-imagines the valleys, bluffs and islands E encircling the Downtown as a fully connected 900-hectare immersive landscape system W S The Core Circle seeks to improve and offer opportunities to reconnect the urban fabric of the Downtown to its surrounding natural features using the streets, parks and open spaces found around the natural setting of Downtown Toronto including the Don River Valley and ravines, Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, Garrison Creek and the Lake Iroquois shoreline. Connecting these large landscape features North: Davenport Road Bluff, Toronto, Canada will create a continuous circular network of open spaces surrounding the Downtown, accessible from both the core and the broader city. The Core Circle re- imagines the Downtown’s framework of valleys, bluffs and islands as a connected 900-hectare landscape system and immersive experience, building on Toronto’s strong identity as a ‘city within a park’ and providing opportunities to acknowledge our natural setting and connect to the history of our natural landscapes. East: Don River Valley Ravine and Rosedale Valley Ravine, Toronto, Canada Historically, the natural landscape features that form the Core Circle were used by Indigenous peoples as village sites, travelling routes and hunting and gathering lands. They are regarded as sacred landscapes and places for spiritual renewal. The Core Circle seeks to re-establish our connection to these landscapes.

YQNA (Draft) Minutes — Meeting #86 — Tuesday, March 9, 2021 (Draft) MINUTES OF YQNA MEETING #86 Tuesday March 9, 2021 On-line Via ZOOM due to COVID-19 Pandemic (approximately 108 participants) Hosted by Neal Colgrass, Chief Technical Officer Chaired by Angelo Bertolas, Co-chair 1. Angelo acknowledged the contribution that Angie Rivers had made as YQNA’s treasurer and announced that she is stepping down. Consequently, YQNA is looking for a treasurer. The position will start in December 2021. Angelo also acknowledged the difficulty of the times and reminded participants that YQNA is a volunteer association that does not charge a membership fee and relies on people’s financial support. He directed participants to the YQNA website at yqna.ca if they wished to donate. He moved for the adoption of minutes of the January 13, 2021 meeting, and seeing no objections, declared the motion approved. 2. Neal welcomed the participants and outlined the technical details of the Zoom event. All will be muted except the chair and current speaker. Questions can be posed by typing in the chat box or using the “raise your hand” key. 3.

More transmissible variants currently make up 30 to 40% of cases and will be the dominant strain by the end of month. A third wave can be prevented if the vaccines are distributed quickly enough. The federal government is responsible for approving and procuring the supply of vaccines, the provincial government is responsible for setting vaccination priorities, distribution and registration and data base management, and the City is responsible for the vaccination sites and injection administration.

Adapting to climate variability and change in Ontario. Ottawa: Environment Canada. Author(s): Smith, Jamie Lavender, Beth Auld, Heather Broadhurst, David Bullock, Tim Abstract: The Canada Country Study (CCS): Climate Impacts and Adaptation is a national evaluation of the impacts of climate change and variability on Canada as a whole, including consideration of existing and potential adaptive responses. In presenting this national perspective, it draws upon studies of a number of regional, sectoral and cross-cutting issues. In providing Canadians with a balanced, realistic picture of what climate change and variability means for Canada as a whole, the CCS effort builds upon a number of sectoral and regional impact studies that have been completed during the past decade. The CCS will provide information to Canadian policy makers in the public and private sectors, socio- economic decision makers, the scientific community both domestically and internationally, non-government organizations, and the Canadian general public. Description: Table of Contents: 1. Introduction, 2. Regional Context, 3. Ontario's Climatic Conditions, 4. Sectoral Opportunities and Sensitivities to Current Climate, 5. Sectoral Opportunities and Sensitivities to Future Climate, 6. Opportunities for Adaptation, 7. Knowledge Gaps and Research Opportunities.
