SCADDING [The foundation stone of an Obelisk to mark the site of the old French fort or trading post at Toronto, was laid on the last day of the Semi-Centennial week, 1884, by the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, assisted by the Mayor of Toronto, A. Boswell, Esq., and J. B. McMurrich, Esq., Chairman of the Semi-Centennial Committee. The following paper, prepared at the request of the Committee, was read on the occasion.] The domain of the Five Nations of the Iroquois, which extended along the whole of the south side of Lake Ontario, was, for a time, regarded, in theory at least, as neutral ground, by the French of New France and the English of New England. But both French and English soon shewed a desire to obtain a foothold there ; first for the purposes of trade, and, secondly, with a view, it cannot be doubted, of ultimate possession by treaty or otherwise. By permission from the neighbouring Aborigines, La Salle, in 1679 ? erected a small stockade at the mouth of the Niagara River, to be simply a receptacle for the peltries brought down from the far West, from Michilimackinac and Detroit, by way of Lake Erie ; which stockade, by 1725 had become the strong, solid fortress which, with some enlargements, we see to-day in good order on the eastern side of the entrance to the world-famous river just named.

  • Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan
    Proposed Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Management Plan July 2021 | sanctuaries.noaa.gov/lake-ontario/ U.S. Department of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Richard W. Spinrad, Ph.D. Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator National Ocean Service Nicole LeBoeuf, Assistant Administrator (Acting) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries John Armor, Director Cover photo: Tibbets Point Lighthouse sits where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River. Photo: Matt McIntosh/NOAA Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to designate a national marine sanctuary to manage a nationally significant collection of shipwrecks and other underwater cultural resources in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands region in upstate New York. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 USC 4321 et seq.) and the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA, 16 USC 1434), NOAA has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) that considers three alternatives for the proposed national marine sanctuary. In this DEIS, NOAA uses criteria and evaluation standards under the regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508 (1978)) and the NOAA implementing procedures for NEPA (NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A) to evaluate the environmental consequences of each alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, NOAA would not designate a national marine sanctuary in New York. Under Alternative 1, the proposed sanctuary boundary would include 1,786 square miles in eastern Lake Ontario and the Thousands Islands region of the St. Lawrence River. Alternative 1 would incorporate 67 known shipwrecks and one aircraft.
