The gentrification process can be seen through the demographic and physical changes of the South Parkdale neighborhood. Gentrification is “the invasion of working-class areas by the upper- and middle-classes, who upgrade shabby, modest housing into elegant residences, resulting in the displacement of all, or most of the original working-class occupiers”. (Lyons, 1996) South Parkdale is a neighborhood in downtown Toronto that faces problems of gentrification. This problem has been ongoing since the nineteen fifty’s’.

The Landlord Tenant board (“LTB”) is tasked with addressing conflicts arising out of the rental of residences. The conflicts between landlords and tenants can be determined by adjudication before the tribunal through an oral hearing or mediation that is overseen by a board mediator. When you make an application to the LTB, they will schedule a hearing date. On this date you can arrive and will be given the option to engage in mediation on site. Mediation can only occur if both parties agree to participate. If both sides agree you will engage in mediation first, and then a hearing only if mediation is unsuccessful. Parties may have legal counsel as a representative during the mediation. As counsel it may be beneficial to contact the other side prior to the hearing date to determine if they wish to partake in mediation. Counsel should however be prepared to engage in a full hearing before the board should the other side change their mind about mediation, or in the event mediation is unsuccessful. If an applicant has filed their application with the board prior to obtaining legal counsel or new issues have arisen since the time of application, it is important to note that a hearing can only address what was submitted in the application. Whereas mediation is able to tackle any issues regarding the tenancy, even those not originally contained in the application to the LTB. If the mediation is successful parties can themselves

First, it felt slightly odd to read about a city other than New York City in a Macaulay Seminar class because most, if not all, readings I have read in such a class discuss a topic in the context of New York City; nevertheless, reading about Chicago, another major American city, and its comparison with St. Louis, were refreshing. Second, this is the first time that I was exposed to the “first nature vs. second nature” concept, which I found insightful and somewhat surprising. I began to ruminate on the aspects of New York City people assume natural that are in fact artificial. Immediately, the salt marshes near the John F. Kennedy airport in Queens came to mind. According to NYC Parks, the marshes serve to “absorb fertilizer, improve water quality, and reduce erosion,” which can be considered as, using Cronon’s phrase, “natural advantages.” However, they have clearly been positioned and altered in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. In this instance, the presence of human intervention exists, yet many people would be inclined to consider the park “natural.” Perhaps this is how people in the 19th century viewed the railroads. Lastly, the following questions might be worth discussing: in today’s world, given the prolific human activity, what is considered first nature and second nature? Can there even be a third nature or

The Liberty Village neighborhood of Toronto has undoubtedly experienced dramatic transformation over the past century, as it shifted from a lively industrial quarter, to a deserted district, to an energetic residential area. This diversification is indisputably worthy of study as it not only effected Ward 20, but also the entirety of the City of Toronto. The area of focus was narrowed to the Trinity-Spadina ward because it was necessary to taper the scope in order to compare the zone with Toronto as a

The City of Lapeer does not have a historic preservation plan; however the City recognizes the importance of preserving our history and encourages historic preservation and historically accurate designs in new projects. Within the City’s Master Plan, a key goal is to promote business development that is compatible with the character of Lapeer, recognizing the historical importance and architectural appeal of its buildings.

So far, many measures have been taken to conserve Oshawa’s Second Marsh. Firstly, a dike was created along Harmony Creek to prevent the sediment- and nutrient-overloaded water from directly entering the marsh, which can improve water quality (Wilcox & Whillans, 1999). A fish pathway has been built along the dike, which can used to prevent carp from getting into the wetland, and a water-control structure was also constructed, which allows water to get in or out when required (Wilcox & Whillans, 1999). Secondly, several methods, including physical harvesting, chemical control, and biological control, have been used to control and manage invasive species (Wilcox & Whillans, 1999). And, variety of native vegetation was planted in the Marsh. For

Begining in1958 the area of Eglinton West was settled by many immigrants from the Caribbean with a large percentage of Jamaicans residents. The 1970s and 80s brought a large wave of Caribbean people to Toronto this created a thriving and vibrant community in Eglinton West. Jamaicans imported their culture such as reggae music and opened music shops, labels, studios and clubs in the area. Little Jamaica is actually the second largest hub for reggae music after Kingston, Jamaica. Other businesses include barbers, beauty salons, restaurants, grocery store, tailors. Well, known business in the area is Monica beauty salon and beauty supplies, Randy's legendary Jamaican patties,

Instead of huge buildings, cars, and etc, all the time. There is huge beautiful different scenery. For example, large snowy mountains. In this article, I found that spoke about it’s beautiful scenery in Vancouver it says that Vancouver is known for the sights. For example, in a part of the article, the person talks about the writer mentions “Cypress Mountain, overlooking the city” Which sounds truly lovely (The Star.2010). Whereas in Toronto it does not have this beauty. It is mostly buildings, man-made breaches, no nature scenery.

The diversification of the environment contains a great number of native plant species. The Swamp holds the most extensive silver maple bottomland forests in southern Ontario, while the hackberry levee forests that occur along the riparian zone of the Nottawasaga River contain many species of Carolinian origin, that are near the northerly limit of their range. Some of these species include hackberry, black maple, blue beech and prickly ash. There are 11 provincially rare plant species in the Swamp, including three sedges, ram’s head lady slipper, spike rush, love grass, Prairie white-fringed orchid, waterleaf, Oswego tea, ginseng, and valerian (Ramsar). There is a variety of animal species in the Minesing Swamp including migratory waterfowl,

Have you ever think about people for unsafe work? Each in everyday, hours and minutes, as we step forward into a factory, mills or machineries, significant people are put into danger. Although health and safety in a workplace is necessary for the employers and employees, there are still a lot of injuries and deaths in a workplace. Most people we’re being forced to work even if the job is not safe for them to do so. There are people getting injured and killed every day that’s why we need to put a stop to it now and make the job in a workplace comfortable to everybody.

Cape Breton Boat Rentals is a boat rental company owned by Bruce MacLean and operated by his brother Malcolm Maclean. Although their reception was welcoming in the year 1988, their selling price could be said is at below the actually operating cost. To avoid the same situation in 1989, the MacLean bothers had to improvise and make aggressive decisions like for example tripling their advertisements. We will show possible ways and methods on how they would have improved in marketing concepts. We will go through the marketing characteristics, marketing mix and marketing concepts that were and should be applied. We feel Malcolm MacLean is stealing money from the business.
