This includes $1.87 billion for southern Ontario, creating more than 18,500 direct and indirect jobs. Improving Ontario's transportation network is part of the government’s plan to strengthen the economy. Key highway investments planned between 2012 and 2016 include: • constructing the Windsor Essex Parkway • extending Highway 407 easterly • widening Highway 401 express and collector lanes between the Highway 401/403/410 interchange and Hurontario Street in Mississauga • building a new interchange at Highway 6 (Hanlon Expressway) and Laird Road in Guelph • widening Highway 417 from Nicholas Street to Ottawa Road 174 in Ottawa 2012 Planned Accomplishments Southern Ontario New highway 102km New bridges 5 Highway rehabilitated 410km Bridges rehabilitated 79 Southern Highways Program 2012-2016 Page 3 QUICK FACTS • Ontario has 16,600 kilometres of provincial highway and 2,756 bridges. • Ontario uses new technology and greener construction practices whenever possible, such as recycling existing pavement and using recycled and shredded tires for bridge embankment fill.

Expanding the highway for 6.5 km will ease congestion during rush hour as commuters head to and from west Kitchener neighbourhoods. Eleven bridges will be widened and repaired, and a new concrete median barrier will be built to separate eastbound and westbound lanes, keeping traffic flowing efficiently and safely. The work begins this year with repairs to the Fischer-Hallman Bridge. Work will move east in subsequent years, finishing in 2015.

All express lanes, east and west bound, and six bridges are currently undergoing major rehabilitation. The six bridges include the Hogg’s Hollow Bridge and the Yonge Street overpass. When repairs are complete, drivers will notice new pavement and see updated illumination, a new median and noise barriers. This project is one of several projects along Highway 401 through Toronto and is part of the Ministry of Transportation’s strategic rehabilitation program for Highway 401 between Renforth Drive and Warden Avenue.

  • History of Property by Owner
    2020-02-11 Planning and Development Department, Leeds and the Thousand Islands, Nicole Shorts / Marnie Venditti, I received you letter dated February 03, 2020 on Wednesday February 05, 2020 and responded to both of you via email that date, including seven page document regarding this lot and "Legal Non-Conforming Right, Grandfathering" deeded accordingly associating both lots being considered as one back in 1950. I asked if I could meet on the next day Thursday of Friday, which ever was most available. To date I have had no response. Attached is seven page documents considering the lots be associated as one for the examples identified. Regards. r "Rem" Burns Rural Residential Lot, #236 Background Information: This irregular shaped lot on the north side of the River Road and the lot on the south side of the River Road, in the Hamlet of Ivy Lea were both part of the one hundred acre operational farm owned and operated by my parents, J. Elmer and Vera Burns. This farm property started at the St. Lawrence River and ran north, across the River Road in Ivy Lea, beyond the now known Thousand Islands Parkway and ending at the Reynolds Road. The operational farm property included a farmhouse /summer kitchen, and numerous farm buildings, woodshed, machinery drive shed, barn, chicken coop, piggery and icehouse / storage building and granary. Livestock included beef and dairy cattle, horses, pigs, chickens and geese. At that point, in time, seventy years ago all this property was zoned Agricultural, as it was a working farm.. My father decided to sell the majority of the farm property in the early 1950's to Thomas and Ruby Cirtwell who owned a farm on Hill Island.

  • AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT from SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B
    JOHNSTON: ENGRAVED SLATE POINT 23 AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B. Johnston ABSTRACT A consideration and interpretation of a slate point bearing apparently notational engraving suggests that it may have been associated with Late Archaic ceremonialism. INTRODUCTION Some years ago a ground slate point was found north of Blairton, Ontario (Belmont Township, Peterborough County) in the shallow waters of the Crowe River a short distance north of Crowe Lake. It was a fortuitous and isolated discovery by a cottage owner, Mrs. H. J. (Joyce) Armstrong, presently of Peterborough, to whom I am indebted for her having brought the artifact to our attention and for subsequently depositing it in the collection of the Trent University Archaeological Centre (number 7PT23-1 from Borden location BcGk-4). What distinguishes this specimen from other slate points of the region and makes it of special interest is the extensive engraving cut into both faces of the point. THE POINT AND ENGRAVING The point is 124 mm in length, including a small allowance for damage at the tip, and has a maximum width of 32 mm near the base of the blade. The maximum thickness is 8 mm in the center of the midsection of the blade which has a lozenge-shaped cross-section with four flat external faces. The point weights 38.8 g and is made of a dark uniform slate; in terms of Munsell soil colours it would be described as very dark gray, approximating 2.5 YR 3/0. The form of the point is within the range exhibited by slate points of southern Ontario, although it is longer and narrower than average, while the base could be said to be atypical in that it is not the relatively long tapering or contracting stemmed form commonly seen on slate points.

  • Five Forest Tour
    Five Forest Tour The Frontenac Arch, especially at this midway region between the Canadian Shield and Adirondack Mountains, has extremely rich natural environments and biodiversity. It was an ideal candidate for a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. It’s a classic case of “location, location, location”. The Frontenac Arch connects the boreal forest of the Canadian Shield to the Appalachian forests of the Adirondack and Appalachian Mountains. And here at the centre of the Frontenac Arch, the St. Lawrence Valley links the forests of the Great Lakes and Atlantic Coast. It’s an intersection of major natural migration routes, linking those forest regions. Forest types reflect their geology and climate. The Frontenac Arch and the river valley are corridors that link and intermingle them. The geological character of this landscape and the moderating effect of Lake Ontario created the niches and opportunities for the plants and animals more normally found in other geographies to coexist. Explore this subtle mix of forests and see the biodiversity first hand. Brockville sits at the eastern edge of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, and this tour will take you from sandstone plains, to the rugged core of the Frontenac Arch. Wear your hiking shoes; bring along field guides and binoculars if you have them. Tour from the FAB Brockville Gateway fabbrockville.ca 1. Mac Johnson To get a picture of forest communities at the east edge of the Frontenac Wildlife Area Arch Biosphere, a short excursion north of town is helpful. This will take you onto the sandstone plain to the east of the granites of the Frontenac Arch.
