    From an idea on a rented houseboat in 1981, Lloyd and Helen Ackert and their family created Ontario Waterway Cruises Inc. Success has flourished due largely to the personal interest and enthusiasm of a family operated business. In 1993, Lloyd and Helen retired. Two of their sons, Marc and John alternate as captain aboard ship. Marc/Robin and John/Joy share the various responsibilities of managing the business. Robin manages the hospitality functions and Joy manages reservations. The history of this successful cruise operation for older adults can be found in the ship’s library. Passengers enjoy browsing the albums which trace its development from the time that this former farm family from Bruce County first “put to sea”! Helen’s ten year legacy of ship’s menu and recipes has been printed in her cookbook, and is available to passengers on board ship. 2 3 OTTAWA RIVER OTTAWA LONG ISLAND RIDEAU RIVER BURRITTS RAPIDS RIDEAU MERRICKVILLE CANAL POONAMALIE BIG CHUTE SMITHS FALLS SEVERN RIVER PORT RIDEAU STANTON GEORGIAN LAKES BAY TRENT-SEVERN WATERWAY WESTPORT KAWARTHA LAKES ORILLIA ROSEDALE BOBCAYGEON BUCKHORN KIRKFIELD ST.

  • 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River
    INTRODUCTION 76 2.6 Settlement Along the Ottawa River In spite of the 360‐metre drop of the Ottawa Figure 2.27 “The Great Kettle”, between its headwaters and its mouth, the river has Chaudiere Falls been a highway for human habitation for thousands of years. First Nations Peoples have lived and traded along the Ottawa for over 8000 years. In the 1600s, the fur trade sowed the seeds for European settlement along the river with its trading posts stationed between Montreal and Lake Temiskaming. Initially, French and British government policies discouraged settlement in the river valley and focused instead on the lucrative fur trade. As a result, settlement did not occur in earnest until the th th late 18 and 19 centuries. The arrival of Philemon Source: Archives Ontario of Wright to the Chaudiere Falls and the new British trend of importing settlers from the British Isles marked the beginning of the settlement era. Farming, forestry and canal building complemented each other and drew thousands of immigrants with the promise of a living wage. During this period, Irish, French Canadians and Scots arrived in the greatest numbers and had the most significant impact on the identity of the Ottawa Valley, reflected in local dialects and folk music and dancing. Settlement of the river valley has always been more intensive in its lower stretches, with little or no settlement upstream of Lake Temiskaming. As the fur trade gave way to farming, settlers cleared land and encroached on First Nations territory. To supplement meagre agricultural earnings, farmers turned to the lumber industry that fuelled the regional economy and attracted new waves of settlers.

  • Non-Destructive Detection of Corrosion of Epoxy Coated Rebar
    NON-DESTRUCTIVE DETECTION OF CORROSION OF EPOXY COATED REBAR by BRIGITTE GOFFIN A DISSERTATION IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2017 ©Brigitte Goffin, 2017 Abstract Abstract Deteriorating infrastructure is an acute and dangerous problem, which is often caused by the corrosion of concrete reinforcement. Marine structures and bridge decks, where sea water and de- icing salts lead to chloride ion diffusion into the concrete are particularly at risk. Epoxy coated rebar (ECR) is a popular choice for the latter structures. However, corrosion of ECR, which occurs due to coating damage, poses a challenge to non-destructive corrosion detection. This study investigated the corrosion behaviour, accelerated corrosion and non-destructive corrosion detection of ECR. The electrochemical corrosion behaviour of ECR in simulated concrete pore solutions was studied and compared to uncoated rebar (UCR). The polarized area of ECR was related but not proportional to the sodium ion concentration of the test solution. Furthermore, ECR was more susceptible to corrosion than UCR, particularly in the presence of NaCl and in NaHCO3 solution. A test solution of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 led to the formation of a very fragile passive layer, that grew slowly but continuously. However, the protective layer was sensitive to even small amounts of NaCl. Corrosion of ECR was accelerated in neutral and alkaline NaCl solutions as well as in concrete. Neutral and alkaline environments promoted coating holiday and undercoating corrosion, respectively. Part of the undercoating corrosion process was cathodic delamination, whose acceleration prior to corrosion acceleration slowed down the lateral corrosion expansion.

    Media Contact: Julia Harper, IBI Group [email protected] 416-596-1930 ext. 61187 or 647-330-4706 - For immediate release - IBI Group-Designed Confederation Line LRT Downtown Tunnel Opens to Public – Global design and technology firm designs underground segment of Ottawa’s largest infrastructure project – TORONTO, ON (October 7, 2019) – Global design and technology firm, IBI Group (TSX:IBG), completed the station design of the downtown tunnel portion of Ottawa’s Confederation Line – a 13-station, 12.5km light rail transit line with a 2.5km underground segment beneath the city center – which is now open to the public. As part of the Rideau Transit Group consortium, IBI Group led the design of the three underground stations – Lyon, Parliament and Rideau – creating iconic facilities that offer spacious and elegant designs with convenient passenger flow systems. This $2.1B, world-class transit system represents the largest infrastructure project in Ottawa’s history and is set to transform how people travel throughout the nation’s capital. “One of the challenges of designing underground transit stations is establishing a design that doesn’t feel like it’s underground. We wanted to create a lot of transparency within the station, focusing on a neutral palette to help bring more light into the space,” said IBI Group Transit Architecture Director, Charlie Hoang. “You also won’t see a lot of obstructions throughout our stations. When going down to platform level you will see a nice wide path to the concourse, then the stairwells, escalators and elevators. Our main goal is always to try to open that up if possible.” The IBI design team selected a neutral material palette, consisting of white, cream and light grey tones accented with stainless steel and glass to help bring more light into the space.

  • 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 105 2.8 Steamboats and Canals on the Ottawa River The Ottawa River was once the only way to access the Upper Ottawa Valley, to travel between Montreal and Ottawa and beyond. It was a viable option for military and commercial access to the Great Lakes. Before roads and even railways were built, the Ottawa River was literally the one and only highway, carrying merchandise, people, and mail in both directions. From Montreal, there were two Figure 2.63 Canoe on the River, 1841 main routes inland: the St. Lawrence – Great Lakes system, and the Ottawa River – Lake Nipissing – Georgian Bay to Upper Great Lakes route (Canadian Public Works Association 113). At first, canoes plied the waters of the Ottawa, carrying First Nations Peoples, explorers and voyageurs into the interior of the land. But the development of the lumber industry in the Ottawa Valley and the related settlement in its upper reaches soon required larger boats. These Source : Philip John Bainbrigge/Library and Archives Canada/C-011815 boats faced logistical challenges hoisting themselves up or around the many sections of chutes and rapids they encountered along the Ottawa. A series of canals, initially built for military purposes, facilitated the transportation of goods and people along the river. Figure 2.64 Steamer, “Duchess of York” Steamboats appeared on the Ottawa River during the construction of these canals, enabling a more reliable and efficient transportation system. The canals only circumvented certain rapids. Others, such as the Chaudiere Falls, still represent an Canada/C-003949 obstacle to navigation. Steamboats were therefore confined to particular sections of the river.
