Committee Report Is Available in PDF Format National Emergencies: Canada’s Fragile Front Lines Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence VOLUME 3 March 2004 Introducing the Questionnaire Responses This appendix contains the 86 responses that the Committee received to an emergency preparedness questionnaire that it distributed to first responders in 100 Canadian municipalities. This was not supposed to be a scientific survey. Rather, the Committee asked open-ended questions in order to give local officials the opportunity to comment freely on their level of preparedness. We believe that a picture of emergency preparedness across Canada emerged from this broad-brush approach. The questionnaire responses – along with the answers received to the 2 revised questions – are grouped according to the 4 categorized sizes mentioned at the start of the analysis in Chapter 6. These categories are: Category Classification # of replies A “Very Small” communities of 20,000 to 32 49,999 people B “Small” communities of 50,000 to 23 99,999 people C “Medium” communities of 100,000 to 23 499,999 people D “Large” communities of more than 8 500,000 This categorization was deliberate. For the analysis, it was done to highlight trends that the Committee found in the responses. The Committee maintained this categorization here in the hope that it would spark a dialogue in and amongst communities by allowing them to compare themselves against communities of similar sizes. The Committee would like to extend its thanks to all those who responded to its questionnaire.

  • Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15Th
    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - Cornwall Street Railway 23/04/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall - 15th. Work has been commenced on the construction of Cornwall's electric street railway and it is expected that part of the line will be opened for traffic in June. -- The work was commenced at the GTR station yesterday and a roadbed is being laid sufficiently solid to carry loaded freight cars from the depot to the various mills and factories. The cars for the road are being built by the Rathbuns at Deseronto and the electric machinery is being made at Peterboro. -- A powerful 120 horse-power electric locomotive will be used to haul freight which will be one of the principal sources of revenue.-- An important part of the scheme is the park on Gillespie's point east of town which is to be fitted up as a pleasure resort.-- It is to be hoped that ere long they will build a line to connect with the CPR at Monkland station. This would shorten the trip to Ottawa considerably. Several spurs of this kind would bring a great deal of trade into the town and profit to the company. 02/07/1896 Ottawa Journal Cornwall Street Cornwall July 1. The Cornwall Electric Street Railway is now an accomplished fact and the members of the town council and a large party of prominent citizens were carried over five miles of track yesterday in handsome trolley cars run by electricity. Work was commenced on the building of the railway in April. A large force of men were employed and the track laid on a good solid bed of macadam from the GTR station down Pitt Street to Water Street and thence east to the St.
