  • Rather Dead Than Enslaved: the Blacks of York in the War of 1812 by Peter Meyler
    The Newsletter of The Friends of Fort York and Garrison Common v. 16 No.4 Sept 2012 1 Rather Dead than Enslaved: The Blacks of 5 The Soldiers at Fort York Armoury York in the War of 1812 7 Bicentennial Timeline 2 “Particularly Torontoesque”: 8 Administrator’s Report Commemorating the Centennial of 9 Tracking Nature at Fort York the War of 1812 11 Upcoming Events 4 Brock Day in Guernsey Rather Dead than Enslaved: The Blacks of York in the War of 1812 by Peter Meyler In 1812 York may have been a “dirty straggling village,” but Upper Canada’s capital was also a place of diversity. Government officials, soldiers, merchants, and artisans mixed with clerks, servants, and even slaves in a town of barely 700 persons. The number who were Black can only be guessed at. Some were freeborn, others had escaped slavery from the United States, but a number were slaves. Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe’s 1793 Act prevented the further importation of slaves into Upper Canada, but did not free those who were enslaved. Among the province’s slave-owners was Robert Gray, the solicitor general. His household at York included his manservant, Simon Baker, Simon’s brother John, and two Black female servants. In 1804 Gray and Simon both perished when the Speedy, a ship on which they were travelling, was lost in a storm on Lake Ontario. Under Gray’s will, all his slaves were freed. During the War of 1812 John Baker left York and served with the 104th New Brunswick Regiment. He later returned to Upper Canada to live in Cornwall where he died in his nineties.

  • Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario 2009
    2009/10 Invading Species Awareness Program for Ontario Annual Report for 2009/10 INVADING SPECIES AWARENESS PROGRAM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invading Species Awareness Program The Invading Species Awareness Program (ISAP) has been a joint partnership initiative of the O.F.A.H. and the MNR since 1992; focusing on preventing invasive species introductions to Ontario’s forests and waters. In 2009, in collaboration with hundreds of community groups, nongovernment organizations and all levels of government, the ISAP reached hundreds of thousands of Ontarians engaging their participation in prevention. Hundreds of citizen scientists and professional field staff from numerous agencies participated in our monitoring and reporting programs. The ISAP made valuable contributions to early detection and rapid response initiatives for invasive species threatening Ontario’s biodiversity such as Asian carp, kudzu, European water chestnut, and water soldier. 2009 marked the successful completion of a multi‐year provincial effort to train the bait industry to implement aquatic invasive species prevention plans throughout their industry. The ISAP made significant contributions to provincial, national and international initiatives including the Ontario Invasive Plant Council, the U.S. Great Lakes Panel on Aquatic Nuisance Species and the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the development of the bi‐national Lake Superior Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Plan. Partnerships In 2009, the O.F.A.H. and the MNR continued the successful joint delivery of the ISAP, with O.F.A.H. staff working collaboratively with staff from MNR’s Biodiversity Section, as well as numerous district offices around the province. Federally, funding contributions were made from Environment Canada’s Invasive Alien Species Partnership Program, and the Lake Simcoe Clean Up Fund, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Human Resources Development Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs Program and Eco‐Canada.

  • Lake Ontario
    Lake Ontario For the hydrocarbon lake on Titan, see Ontario Lacus. Lake Ontario (French: Lac Ontario) is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. It is bounded on the north, west, and southwest by the Canadian province of Ontario, and on the south and east by the American state of New York. Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, was named for the lake. In the Wyandot (Huron) lan- guage, ontarío means “Lake of Shining Waters”. It is the last in the Great Lakes chain and serves as the outlet to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Lawrence River. Lake On- tario is also the only one of the five Great Lakes not to share a shoreline with the American state of Michigan.

The newspapers had warned of the possibility for months and throughout that summer residents paid close attention to events in Europe. Indeed, on the Civic Holiday of 3 August 1914 thousands gathered at newspaper offices for the latest news when they could have been at a city park or enjoying an excursion to the Toronto Islands. A few days later, the Toronto Star reported sales of 100,000 copies of its Extra edition containing the news that on 4 August 1914 Great Britain had declared war on Germany and that perforce, Canada was at war. Within days, officials in Ottawa announced that an expeditionary force of volunteers would be assembled at Valcartier military camp north of Quebec City. Thousands Thomas Langton Church (1870-1950), mayor of Toronto 1915-1921, seen here from across Canada, having anticipated war, headed there on the right striking a jaunty pose, attended hundreds of recruiting rallies immediately.

  • Exhibition Place Strategic Plan 2017-2019
    Exhibition Place 2017-2019 Strategic Plan Strategic Plan 2017-2019 01. Message from the Chair On behalf of the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place, and our management team, we proudly introduce the 2017-2019 Strategic Plan. This document is a product of input from business stakeholders and residents. It is intended to serve both as a roadmap to guide the organization, and as a barometer over the ensuing three years to track our targets and accomplishments of the key objectives determining the future success of Exhibition Place. Over the duration of our past Strategic Plans from 2009 to 2016, Exhibition Place has grown exponentially as have the neighbourhoods surrounding our site. We have constructed a new conference facility, Beanfield Centre; expanded BMO Field allowing the Toronto Argonauts to return to the grounds; added an NBA basketball training facility; and soon will open a 400-room convention hotel. In the last 2 years, Exhibition Place has hosted international / national special events such as 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games, NBA All-Star Festival, MLS Cup, and CFL Grey Cup. Our convention facilities continue to be the choice venue for a number of Canada's largest shows, events, and meetings. The 2017-2019 Plan introduces a vision of Exhibition Place as the "Gathering Place" for the City of Toronto and Southern Ontario. Adopting the historical notion of a "Gathering Place", the Plan acknowledges the role this waterfront site has played as an international exposition centre, a host venue for major public celebrations and events, and part of the cultural fabric of the city and its communities.
