  • Bayview Avenue Extension Project
    Bayview Avenue Extension Project Submission to:: Transportation Association of Canada for the Environmental Achievement Award 2002 Abstract The Bayview Avenue Extension project is a deserving candidate for the 2002 Environmental Achievement Award for its innovative design used to minimize environmental impacts, at the same time, improving environmental features and enhancing knowledge of locally significant ecosystem elements, in particular a nationally threatened amphibian species. The project features these innovative environmental achievements: Environmentally Responsible Road Alignment successfully mitigated impacts to the nearby Jefferson Forest, Lake Wilcox, Forester March and adjacent wetland areas. Wetland Habitat Creation Project led to the development of diverse habitat zones for a variety of animal and plant species. Amphibian Roadway Crossings were specifically designed to protect and enhance the amphibian population, in particular the Jefferson Salamander, while adding to research and knowledge base of a rare, nationally threatened species. Jefferson Ravine Bridge Crossing provides unimpeded passage for large and small mammals, including white-tailed deer, reptiles and amphibians, working with existing topography to achieve a unique crossing feature. Extensive Vegetation and Landscaping Enhancements screen nearby sensitive areas from roadway intrusions and provided intensified buffering to disturbed areas. Detailed Environmental Analysis was completed to ensure complete compliance with environmental legislation for the Oak Ridges Moraine. Project Details - Bayview Avenue Extension • Four-kilometre, two-lane rural arterial road • Grading constructed for an ultimate four-lane facility • Located within the Town of Richmond Hill and is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine • Total gross expenditures for the project approximately $ 16 million • Fully funded and maintained by the Regional Municipality of York.

  • ASTRONOMY in CANADA 51 Spectrum. Precise Chemical
    ASTRONOMY IN CANADA 51 spectrum. Precise chemical analysis must take account of the differences of temperature and pressure in the atmospheres of different stars. The outer layers of the stars may appear to differ widely, but this is because of differences in their physical state. It is found that the majority of stars are of closely similar chemical composition. Studies of this nature depend on knowledge of the behaviour of matter in laboratories on earth. On the other hand, the stars themselves are a unique kind of laboratory where matter exists, and can be studied, under conditions that cannot be reproduced on earth. Thus some branches of astronomy, physics and chemistry complement each other. Another important part of the Observatory's work is the study of close double stars. These are systems of two stars held together by their gravitational attraction. Under the influence of this attraction they revolve around their centre of gravity, completing a revolution in a very short time—usually a few days. The two stars are too close to each other to be seen separately with any telescope but they can be studied separately with the spectrograph. These objects are important because their motions are determined by the well-known law of gravitation, and can be made to yield much information about the component stars of each system. In favourable cases, the masses, sizes, densities, tempera­ tures and luminosities of the two stars can be determined. Many of these stellar properties can be derived only from the study of such systems. In addition to their research, the astronomers try to give a more direct service to the public.

    THE HUMBER RIVER: THE 10-YEAR MONITORING REPORT FOR THE CANADIAN HERITAGE RIVERS SYSTEM October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008 THE HUMBER CHALLENGE Our challenge is to protect and enhance the Humber River watershed as a vital and healthy ecosystem where we live, work and play in harmony with the natural environment. GUIDING PRINCIPLES To achieve a healthy watershed, we should: • Increase awareness of the watershed’s resources • Protect the Humber River as a continuing source of clean water • Celebrate, regenerate, and preserve our natural, historical and cultural heritage • Increase community stewardship and take individual responsibility for the health of the Humber River • Establish linkages and promote partnerships among communities • Build a strong watershed economy based on ecological health, and • Promote the watershed as a destination of choice for recreation and tourism The Humber River: The 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System i FRAGMENT: THE VALLEY Like a sweet wine flowing from the glass, the Humber of my boyhood years! First the stretch of the river valley as I knew it best, running south from Dundas Street to my beloved stone marvel of the Old Mill Bridge, a scant mile to the south, not forgetting to count a quarter-mile jog to the east halfway down to heighten the wonderment. What force of ten million years’ cunning erosion, the relentless path of an awkward giant carving out for himself great steps one by one as he strides on and on, thirsty now for a great cold draught of Lake Ontario water! What sheer-climbing cliffs with the history of planet Earth carved in each layer of shale reaching up a hundred feet from the shining valley floor, the littered rocks of the river ….
