    CROSSINGTHE H UMBER T HE HE 2011 Heritage H UMBER UMBER Canada Foundation NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT R AWARD WINNER IVER IVER for Volunteer Contribution HERIT A GE B RIDGE RIDGE I NVENTORY July 2011 CROSSING THE HUMBER THE HUMBER RIVER HERITAGE BRIDGE INVENTORY www.trca.on.ca Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Humber Watershed Alliance, Heritage Subcommittee Newly Released, July 2011 Fold Here PREAMBLE In 2008, I was introduced to the Humber River Heritage Bridge Inventory to provide advice on one of the identified heritage bridges, slated for de-designation and subsequent demolition. 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.

  • The Historical Development of Agricultural Policy and Urban Planning in Southern Ontario
    Settlement, Food Lands, and Sustainable Habitation: The Historical Development of Agricultural Policy and Urban Planning in Southern Ontario By: Joel Fridman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Geography, Collaborative Program in Environmental Studies Department of Geography and Program in Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Joel Fridman 2014 Settlement, Food Lands, and Sustainable Habitation: The Historical Development of Agricultural Policy and Urban Planning in Southern Ontario Joel Fridman Masters of Arts in Geography, Collaborative Program in Environmental Studies Department of Geography and Program in Planning University of Toronto 2014 Abstract In this thesis I recount the historical relationship between settlement and food lands in Southern Ontario. Informed by landscape and food regime theory, I use a landscape approach to interpret the history of this relationship to deepen our understanding of a pertinent, and historically specific problem of land access for sustainable farming. This thesis presents entrenched barriers to landscape renewal as institutional legacies of various layers of history. It argues that at the moment and for the last century Southern Ontario has had two different, parallel sets of determinants for land use operating on the same landscape in the form of agricultural policy and urban planning. To the extent that they are not purposefully coordinated, not just with each other but with the social and ecological foundations of our habitation, this is at the root of the problem of land access for sustainable farming. ii Acknowledgements This thesis is accomplished with the help and support of many. I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Harriet Friedmann, for kindly encouraging me in the right direction.

It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Railway Investigation Report Main-Track Derailment Canadian Pacific Railway Freight Train 220-24 Mile 105.1, MacTier Subdivision Buckskin, Ontario 26 January 2011 Report Number R11T0016 Summary On 26 January 2011, at approximately 0310, Eastern Standard Time, as Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) freight train 220-24 was travelling southward at about 45 mph, one of its cars derailed at Mile 105.1 of the CP MacTier Subdivision, near Buckskin, Ontario. The train continued on to the Buckskin north siding switch at Mile 103.7 where an additional 20 cars, including dangerous goods tank car PROX 33743, loaded with non-odorized liquefied petroleum gas (UN 1075), derailed. Some of the derailed cars side-swiped northbound CP freight train 221-25, which was stationary in the Buckskin siding, derailing its lead locomotive, and damaging the second locomotive and the first 9 cars on train 221. As a precaution, 15 families from the nearby area were evacuated. There were no injuries and no loss of product. Ce rapport est également disponible en français. - 2 - Other Factual Information Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and Canadian National (CN) operate parallel trans-continental rail routes throughout the area. Under a bidirectional running agreement, both railways operate primarily empty trains northbound on CP track between Mile 20.1 and Mile 112.7 of the Parry Sound Subdivision, and loaded southbound trains on CN track between Mile 146.2 and Mile 247.5 of the CN Bala Subdivision, respectively (see Figure 1).

JAY UNDERWOOD........ 130 FRONT COVER: When the Intercolonial Railway of Canada opened its through line from central Canada to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1876, the passengers had a choice of several different types of accommodation. Most sumptuous and elaborate was the first class sleeping car exemplified by sleeper "Restigouche", of which this is an interior view. Notice the elaborately carved woodwork, the fancy oil lamps, the plush seats, the decorated ceiling and the beautiful carpet; all typical of the later Victorian era. At the end of the car is a small but adequate buffet, and each section has its own table on which food could be served. The "Restigouche" was like a hotel on wheels during the trip of more than 24 hours to Halifax. Additional photos of this car appear on page 123. Photo courtesy of the New Brunswick Museum. BELOW: An Intercolonial Railway 0-4-0 switcher of about 1876 vintage poses at an unknown location not long after the line was opened for its entire length.

Joseph Hobson, the Chief Engineer, successfully combined three significant new technologies—a tunnel shield driven by hydraulic rams; a cast iron tunnel lining; and the use of a compressed air environment. This tunnel eliminated a major bottleneck in the rail transportation system linking the American midwest with its eastern markets. Project Information; This documentation is the result of a Memorandum of Agreement, among the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, Detroit District and the Canadian National North America Railroad as a mitigative measure before the closing of the tunnel.

The study area encompasses the bridge, which is located on Norwich Street between Arthur Street North and Cardigan Street and is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (City of Guelph By-Law [1998] – 15786). This report will establish the cultural heritage significance of the Norwich Street Bridge and assess impacts of the proposed undertaking in consideration of its determined cultural heritage value. The bridge carries pedestrian traffic over the Speed River in the City of Guelph, Ontario. According to available bridge documentation and existing plaques on the bridge itself, the Norwich Street Bridge was built in 1882 (City of Guelph Designation By-Law, 1998).
