Recreation History /LakeOntario History Page Battle of the Shipbuilders: The War of 1812 The shipbuilding contest began as soon as war was declared. Both American and British military strategists believed that Great Lakes supremacy was the key to winning the conflict. At his Sackett's Harbour base on Lake Ontario, Commodore Isaac Chauncey commanded a small squadron of converted merchant schooners. He contracted a New York shipwright to build the 26-gun Madison , and in April of 1813, he set off to battle. At first, Chauncey set his sights on nearby Kingston; he changed his plans, however, when British reinforcements trekked from Fredericton, New Brunswick to man the British garrison. Instead, he sailed to York, where his army counterpart, General Henry Dearborn, forced a quick surrender. Chauncey then transported Dearborn's army to further confrontation in Niagara.

67. Downtown Georgetown Ontario - History Downtowngeorgetown.com Downtown Georgetown ontario where youcan find shops and stores plus news and history of the area. http://www.downtowngeorgetown.com/history.html

History G eorgetown is situated on the Credit River about 45 Kilometres from Toronto and 60 Kilometres from Hamilton. When George Kennedy, a descendant of United Empire Loyalists, established himself in the area in 1823, it was the abundant water supply for milling purposes that attracted this early entrepreneur. His mill became the beginning of a small settlement. By 1837, however, it was reported that there were still only three families living in the area of his mill known as "Hungry Hollow". It was the enterprising Barber brothers who in 1837 bought a wooden mill and foundry from Kennedy and renamed the small settlement Georgetown (presumably after George Kennedy). The Barber brothers' business flourished and attracted other industrialists such as the Dayfoots who arrived in the early 1840s and became pioneers in the leather and shoe trade in Ontario. It was the papermaking business, however, which the Barber brothers had operated since 1854, which became a real source of prosperity to the Georgetown community for over a century. Just as the excellent sites for water power and ponds in the early 1820s and the opening up of the York (or Toronto) to Guelph Road (now Hwy 7) in 1827 helped to establish this area as a settlement location, it was the building of the Grand Trunk Railroad through Georgetown and the Hamilton and North West Railroad that confirmed Georgetown would be the centre of commerce and industry in the north Halton area. Georgetown grew rapidly during the 1850s and 60s. By 1864 it had a population of 1250 and the citizens decided that it would be in their best interests to "have the management of their own local affairs in the hands of men of their choice". An application was made to Halton County Council for incorporation as a Village. This was granted on December 16, 1864.

Sikhism History, beliefs, practices, etc. Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Sikh Origins: No consensus exists on the origins of this religion. Historians and specialists in Eastern religions generally believe that Sikhism is a syncretistic religion, originally related to the Bhakti movement within Hinduism and the Sufi branch of Islam , to which many independent beliefs and practices were added. Some Sikhs believe that their religion is a re-purification of Hinduism; they view Sikhism as part of the Hindu religious tradition. Many Sikhs disagree; they believe that their religion is a direct revelation from God - a religion that was not derived from either Hinduism or Islam. Sikhism does contain many unique postulates and principles that are quite different from both Hinduism and Islam. Joseph D. Cunningham (1812-1851), the author of "A History of the Sikhs" (1848), observed: "It has been usual to regard the Sikhs as essentially Hindu... yet in religious faith and worldly aspiration, they are wholly different from other Indians, and they are bound together by an objective unknown elsewhere." Sikh History: The name of the religion means learner . It is often mispronounced 'seek' It should be pronounced 'se-ikh', with the final 'kh' sound like the 'kh' in Mi

SHINTO Click below to visit our sponsors. Brief history of Shinto: Shinto is an ancient Japanese religion. Starting about 500 BCE (or earlier) it was originally "an amorphous mix of nature worship, fertility cults, divination techniques, hero worship, and shamanism." Its name was derived from the Chinese words " shin tao " ( "The Way of the Gods" ) in the 8th Century CE. At that time: The Yamato dynasty consolidated its rule over most of Japan. Divine origins were ascribed to the imperial family. Shinto established itself as an official religion of Japan, along with Buddhism The complete separation of Japanese religion from politics did not occur until just after World War II. The Emperor was forced by the American army to renounce his divinity at that time. Unlike most other religions, Shinto has no real founder, no written scriptures, no body of religious law, and only a very loosely-organized priesthood. Shinto beliefs: Shinto creation stories tell of the history and lives of the "Kami" (deities). Among them was a divine couple, Izanagi-no-mikoto and Izanami-no-mikoto, who gave birth to the Japanese islands. Their children became the deities of the various Japanese clans. Amaterasu Omikami (Sun Goddess) was one of their daughters. She is the ancestress of the Imperial Family and is regarded as the chief deity. Her shrine is at Ise. Her descendants unified the country. Her brother, Susano came down from heaven and roamed throughout the earth. He is famous for killing a great evil serpent.

In November 1992, the twelve-member Transitional Council was brought together by the Ministry of Health. The Council consisted of six professional members representing various aspects of the Dental Hygiene profession and its academic community; of these, two were the members who had been elected by the profession as the official dental hygiene observers at the RCDSO. The six public members were appointed from across the Province and represented a broad cross-section of the community. Initial tasks carried out in 1993 included: development of core regulations such as entry and re-entry to practice requirements, fee structure, professional misconduct, formation of electoral districts and election procedures; hiring of the Registrar and support staff; choice of premises, including the decision to rent rather than purchase. In February of 1993 the Transitional Council met with the RCDSO to discuss the financial and administrative aspects. In keeping with its framework the RCDSO agreed to provide administrative support to the Transitional Council by: processing payments of approved invoices, expenses and per diems for the Transitional Council members out of the bank account set up for this purpose with an accrediting of the expenditures every 2-3 months;

Women's Law Association of Ontario The Early Years Sources of an EnduringTradition: The WLAO 1919 - 1950 The Year Before By 1918, 22 years after Clara Brett Martin's call to the Ontario Bar broke the gender barrier, a mere 11 had followed in her footsteps. William Renwick Riddell, who, as a bencher in 1892, had arrived late to the historic Convocational vote admitting women members of the Bar by a majority of one, and had protested that the vote be retaken so as to include his opposition, assessed the impact of women as practitioners of law with the observation that: "the admission of women is regarded with complete indifference by all but those immediately concerned" . He clearly could not have been describing the obsessive scrutiny made over the actions of woman barristers by the journalistic media, bent on examining their manners, style of dress, and discovering, or denying a match for, "a modern Portia, with an infinite sense of justice and a capacity for close argument (who) has not yet arrived" . Nor could he have been observant of the phenomenon noted by Clara Brett Martin who retained male lawyers for her clients' litigation, to spare them excessive scrutiny

The first Gray wolves ( Canis lupus ), appeared in Eurasia about a million years ago. Around 750, 000 years ago, they are thought to have migrated to North America from Siberia. The Gray wolf coexisted for almost 500,000 years with the dire wolf, Canis diru s, a similar species which had much larger teeth. About 10,000 - 16,000 years ago, the dire wolves disappeared along with the Ice Age extinctions of many large mammals on this continent. It is widely accepted that all breeds of domestic dogs are the descendants of wolves and that this process of domestication began around 10,000-12,000 years ago. However, recent discoveries published in the journal Scienc e have estimated that dogs may have separated from their wild wolf ancestors as much as 135,000 years ago. If this is true, domestication occurred at a time when our species was just beginning to evolve. Just as dogs are considered ‘man’s best friend’, wolves too had a strong relationship with the earliest humans. Robert McGhee, a Curator of Archaeology at the Canadian Museum of Civilization raises this question -

HOST ORGANIZATION La Route du Savoir/ French Literacy Centre of Kingston, 711 Dalton Avenue, Rm. 228, Kingston, Ontario, K7M 8N6 Phone: Fax: What is Operation Red Nose? Operation Red Nose's philosophy Certain values underlie the philosophy of Operation Red Nose. It is non-moralist and is neutral regarding the consumption of alcohol. Our position is simple: if you drink, don't drive. Call a cab, call a friend, spend the night or call Operation Red Nose. Why call it Operation Red Nose? Operation Red Nose was the name used by the Canadian Armed Forces stationed in Valcartier near Quebec City for its annual mid-winter exercise held in the frigid month of February. Organizers thought this name was perfectly suited to a volunteer designated driving service offered during the cold climes of December. Permission was granted to use the name for our innovative road safety campaign. The name also refers, of course, to Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer - also the name of our playful Mascot - who lit Santa Claus' way one foggy Christmas Eve. How it all got started Registered non-profit corporation In 1985, following its inaugural success, Operation Red Nose became a duly incorporated non-profit organization whose mandate is to foster, assist and support the development of other local Operation Red Nose campaigns throughout Canada. De Koninck, the creator of Operation Red Nose, remains president of the national corporation. Operation Red Nose and its trademark are the exclusive property of the corporation and only recognized host organizations may use it under specific conditions. The corporation does not charge host organizations for staging the annual program.
