CONNECTIONS 6 Sports Day Trip To Carleton University by Crystal Cobus After a great deal of activity we then headed to the main cafeteria where Carleton treated us to an all you could eat lunch! This included a variety of foods: a salad bar, fruit bar and even an ice cream stand. This trip was by far one of the best opportunities I have shared with the individuals and staff at Community Living Renfrew County South. The Carleton faculty was so helpful and accommodating, there is so much to be said for their hospitality. They informed me that it was one of the most inspiring day camps they have held and they would love to have us to come back next year. Everyone who attended the Carleton Sports Day had indicated they most definitely want to go back. So see you next year Carleton and thank you for the amazing fun-filled opportunity from all of us In August this year we had an amazing opportunity to at Community Living. attend a Sports Day trip at Carleton University. Individuals from Renfrew and Arnprior all joined together on a bus down to Carleton University where the Recreation Department hosted several organized games for us all. We participated in soccer in the indoor Field House and then we headed to the next gym to participate in European hand ball which was new to most of us and then some basketball. After our fun workout in sports everyone had an excellent cool off in the indoor pool! The diving board and the water slide were a huge attraction where we had many laughs and lots of excitement.

  • 2010 Saw the Last Train on the Brockvile to Carleton Place Railway
    Clipping from an old Newspaper Article submitted by Leona Kidd Canada’s first great railway building decade came in the 1850’s construction of a railway to connect Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and intervening points to the Grand Truck Railway at Brockville was begun in 1853 and completed in 1859. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company’s charter of 1853 authorized building of a line from Brockville “to some point on the Ottawa River”, and a branch line from Smiths Falls to Perth. By August the company was reported to have let a first contract to James Sykes and Company of Sheffield for building and equipping the line as far as Pembroke at a cost of £930,000, and to have received subscriptions for about a third of this amount, in shares of £5 each. The County Council of Lanark and Renfrew in January, 1854, was notified that its bylaw to loan up to £200,000 to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company had been approved by the provincial government. Sub-contractors were at work in the spring of 1854 at points between Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville. Reverses which delayed the project culminated in the North American financial crash of 1857, when Messrs. Dale and Ellerman and Sir Charles Fox soon appeared before Lanark and Renfrew’s County Council seeking renewed municipal financial aid. Further contracts for continuing construction finally were arranged before the end of the year. In a premature and unpromising official opening of the southern section of the line early in 1859, a wood-burning locomotive with two coaches filled with passengers had left Brockville on a bitterly cold midwinter day.

Countless vol- unteer hours have been spent engaging the residents of Pembroke, and helping them to pitch in, take pride and partici- pate in the beautification and environmental responsibility efforts. In 2001 the City earned four blooms in the provincial competition, and the right to call itself “the prettiest little city in Ontario”.

The request that you have made on behalf of the IP sponsors (as per the attachment) is approved with conditions. Subsection 803.01(2) of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) requires that the aeronautical information services be provided in accordance with the standards set out in Annexes 4 and 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. According to Annex 15, the material to be issued as part of an aeronautical information product shall be thoroughly checked before it is submitted to the Aeronautical Information Service. To comply with the verification and validation requirements of Annex 15, Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs) must be developed in accordance with the CAR 803.02(a) which requires the use of the Criteria for the Development of Instrument Procedures (TP 308). As stated in this document, all instrument approach procedures (IAPs) must be flight checked when they are submitted to NAV CANADA for publishing and distribution. Compliance with the timely initiation of the flight check, required to complete the aforementioned requirement, is not yet possible due to the current COVID-19 isolation requirements. To address the foregoing, Transport Canada approves this temporary deviation from the requirements set out in section 170 of TP 308.

  • Ian Stewart in His Own Words
    Ian Stewart in his Own Words Ian Stewart Preface by Fred Gorbet th WHEN ANDREW AND I SET OUT TO MARK Ian’s 80 birthday, and extraor- dinary professional career, with this festschrift, I volunteered to draft a brief biography of Ian – focusing on the years we worked together, which encom- passed most of the time from 1968 through 1982. This turned out to be much more difficult than anticipated. Ian was a fantastic mentor to me. He hired me directly out of graduate school to join him at the Bank of Canada in 1968. Through long evenings working on the econometric model RDX2, he taught me more about economics and particularly the nature of the economic adjustment process than I had ever learned in university. As time went on and Ian’s focus shifted from research to the practical application of public policy, he never ceased to challenge me with his keen appreciation of the role of analysis in effective policy design and implementation and his enduring sense of fairness and compassion. Yet, when it came to write about this career, I realized that time had erased many memories and notwithstanding our long New Directions for Intelligent Government in Canada 19 association, there were many gaps in the story as I knew it. I turned to Ian and asked for a brief synopsis of his professional life – one that would bullet-point highlights, achievements, challenges, colleagues, etc. I felt that with this raw material I could fashion a tapestry that would illumi- nate the character and achievements of one of Canada’s best economic researchers and policy advisers.
