Much of the bedrock in the west and north derives from ocean deposits in the Ordovician that were subject to folding and igneous intrusion and that were eventually covered with lava during the Paleozoic peaking during the Acadian orogeny During the Carboniferous era about 340 million years ago New Brunswick was in the Maritimes Basin a sedimentary basin near the equator Sediments brought by rivers from surrounding highlands accumulated there; after being compressed they produced the Albert oil shales of southern New Brunswick Eventually sea water from the Panthalassic Ocean invaded the basin forming the Windsor Sea Once this receded conglomerates sandstones and shales accumulated the rust colour of these was caused by the oxidation of iron in the beds between wet and dry periods. Such late carboniferous rock formed the Hopewell Rocks which have been shaped by the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy In the early Triassic as Pangea drifted north it was rent apart forming the rift valley that is the Bay of Fundy Magma pushed up through the cracks forming basalt columns on Grand Manan Topography, The Burlington Bay James N Allan Skyway at Hamilton Ontario. . 4.1 Financial district Sandwich (now Windsor) Built in 1887 the Victoria Industrial School for Boys was the destination for youth convicted of crimes and "incorrigible" youth until it was closed in 1934 Boys at the school were housed in "cottages," two to three story brick buildings housing as many as forty boys and quite unlike the wood-frame houses in nearby Mimico in the "cottages," the boys were supervised by a man and woman usually husband and wife. However despite the homely setting the school was often a place of violence for the boys there including such treatment as being handcuffed to the bed beaten and placed on bread-and-water diets These abuses were the focus of investigations by the province as well as reporting in the Toronto Daily Star. Although the school was operated locally the school was increasingly populated by boys from across the province the site was used for the education of inmates under various names including the Mimico Correctional Centre and is now home to the Toronto South Detention Centre Alexandra School for Girls; Protestant 2,668,665 21.1 Susan McDade (Denmark) for Bureau of Management; Thirty Mile Point Light Main article: Presbyterian Church in Canada 84 82; Etymology 4 Ownership Line 5 Eglinton 2012 57 33 213 289 Although most youth gang members are male mixed-gender and female youth gangs also exist. Youth from lower-income families are more likely to self-identify as gang members, but membership cuts across lower middle and upper income categories. One study found that although Black South Asian and Hispanic youth in Toronto are more likely to report gang activity than youth of other ethnicities 27% of criminal youth gang members self-identify as white (followed by 23% Black 3% Aboriginal 18% South Asian 17% Asian 5% Middle Eastern and 7% Hispanic) a correlation has not been found between youth gang membership and immigration status. Gang-involved youth commonly report a history of abuse and/or neglect poverty dysfunctional families isolation school failure and other psychosocial issues Community and police response. !

However Toronto Varsity Blues coach Conn Smythe put together a group of his own and made a $160,000 (equivalent to $2,345,000 in 2018) offer With the support of Bickell a St Pats shareholder Smythe persuaded Querrie to accept their bid arguing that civic pride was more important than money After taking control on February 14 1927 Smythe immediately renamed the team the Maple Leafs after the national symbol of Canada. He attributed his choice of a maple leaf for the logo to his experiences as a Canadian Army officer and prisoner of war during World War I Viewing the maple leaf as a "badge of courage" and a reminder of home Smythe decided to give the same name to his hockey team in honour of the many Canadian soldiers who wore it. However the team was not the first to use the name a Toronto minor-league baseball team had used the name "Maple Leafs" since 1895 Initial reports were that the team's colours were to be red and white, but the Leafs wore white sweaters with a green maple leaf for their first game on February 17 1927 on September 27 1927 it was announced that the Leafs had changed their colour scheme to blue and white. Although Smythe later stated he chose blue because it represents the Canadian skies and white to represent snow these colours were also used on his gravel and sand business' trucks the colour blue was also a colour historically associated with the City of Toronto the use of blue by top-level Toronto-based sports clubs began with the Argonaut Rowing Club in the 19th century later adopted by their football team the Toronto Argonauts in 1873 Opening of Maple Leaf Gardens (1930s).
