Having recently recommended to the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering that they increase their activities in heritage bridge conservation, I was happy to participate in this inventory project as such initiatives highlight the significant and often overlooked relationship between engineering advancements and our cultural heritage. Over time the widespread loss of heritage bridges has occurred for a variety of reasons: deterioration, changes in highway requirements, or damage by storms like Hurricane Hazel. Today, however, with increasing attention towards cultural heritage, creative solutions are being explored for preserving heritage bridges. Protecting, conserving and celebrating our heritage bridges contributes to not only a greater understanding of the development of approaches to modern day engineering but also marks our progress as a nation, from early settlement to today’s modern and progressive communities.

Henry correspondence Reference Code: RG 3-9-0-391 Overview All of the Archives of Ontario lesson plans have two components: The first component introduces students to the concept of an archive and why the Archives of Ontario is an important resource for learning history The second component is content-based and focuses on the critical exploration of a historical topic that fits with the Ontario History and Social Studies Curriculum for grades 3 to 12. This plan is specifically designed to align with the Grade 10: Canadian History Since World War I curricula. We have provided archival material and an activity for you to do in your classroom. You can do these lessons as outlined or modify them to suit your needs. In this plan, students will read original letters written to Ontario Premier George S. Henry during the Depression to understand the hardships faced by families. Following comprehensive and analytical questioning and discussion, students will write a newspaper article using the letters as evidence. This lesson is designed to assist students in developing a sense of historical perspective for people who lived through the Great Depression.

  • The Humber River: the 10-Year Monitoring Report for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System October 2009 Lower Humber Valley, Toronto, TRCA, 2008
    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 ….

  • Member Motion City Council MM24.6
    Member Motion City Council Notice of Motion MM24.6 ACTION Ward: 17 Heritage Plaque to Commemorate Oriole Lodge - by Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor John Filion * Notice of this Motion has been given. * This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is required to waive referral. Recommendations Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor John Filion, recommends that: 1. City Council increase the Approved 2020 Operating Budget for Heritage Toronto on a one- time basis by $2,200 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 125 George Henry Boulevard, 32-80 Forest Manor Road, 85-130 Parkway Forest Drive, and 1751 and 1761 Sheppard Avenue East (Source Account: XR3026- 3700706), for the production and installation of a heritage plaque to commemorate the construction of Oriole Lodge at 17 Manorpark Court (Cost Centre: HG0001). Summary This Motion seeks authorization to release $2,200 in Section 37 funds to Heritage Toronto for a heritage plaque to commemorate the construction of Oriole Lodge at 17 Manorpark Court. The house at 17 Manorpark Court was originally called Oriole Lodge. It is best known as the home of George Stewart Henry (1871-1958), who was Premier of Ontario from 1930 to 1934. In 1806, Henry's great-grandparents Henry and Jane Mulholland settled in what is today North York and operated a farm near the site of 17 Manorpark Court. The exact date that Oriole Lodge was built is disputed -- dates range from 1824 to 1841. Construction was carried out by Stilwell Willson, who used plank-on-plank construction.

THIS remarkable new Rotary Combine Milking System now in use at the Walker-Gordon farm, Plainsboro, N. J., a division of the Borden Company, the oldest and largest certified milk producers in the world, is the wonder of all who have seen it. The milking machine equipment was made by De Laval, and while much of this equipment was especially designed by us, yet the principle of milking is the same as that of all De Laval Magnetic Milkers, and the milking itself is exactly the same as that of the De Laval Magnetic. The method of drawing milk into the glass jars without exposure to human hands or other contaminating sources is similar to that of the De Laval Magnetic Combine Milking System, which milks, weighs and conveys the milk from cow to bottle in one operation, and of which there are already a considerable number in use.
