Toronto Union Station serves as the hub for VIA Rail's intercity services in Central Canada and includes services to various parts of Ontario Corridor services to Montreal and national capital Ottawa and long distance services to Vancouver and New York City The Toronto Coach Terminal in downtown Toronto also serves as a hub for intercity bus services in Southern Ontario served by multiple companies and providing a comprehensive network of services in Ontario and neighbouring provinces and states GO Transit provides intercity bus services from Union Station Bus Terminal and other bus terminals in the city to destinations within the GTA Road system, Nineteenth century Toronto General Hospital is a major teaching hospital in downtown Toronto Toronto is home to twenty public hospitals including the Hospital for Sick Children Mount Sinai Hospital St Michael's Hospital North York General Hospital Toronto General Hospital Toronto Western Hospital Etobicoke General Hospital St Joseph's Health Centre Scarborough General Hospital Scarborough Grace Hospital Centenary Hospital Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre many of which are affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine In 2007 Toronto was reported as having some of the longer average ER wait times in Ontario Toronto hospitals at the time employed a system of triage to ensure life-threatening injuries receive rapid treatment. After initial screening initial assessments by physicians were completed within the waiting rooms themselves for greater efficiency within a median of 1.2 hours Tests consultations and initial treatments were also provided within waiting rooms 50% of patients waited 4 hours before being transferred from the emergency room to another room the least-urgent 10% of cases wait over 12 hours the extended waiting-room times experienced by some patients were attributed to an overall shortage of acute care beds Toronto's MaRS Discovery District is a centre for research in biomedicine Toronto's Discovery District is a centre of research in biomedicine It is on a 2.5-square-kilometre (620-acre) research park that is integrated into Toronto's downtown core It is also home to the Medical and Related Sciences Centre (MaRS), which was created in 2000 to capitalize on the research and innovation strength of the Province of Ontario Another institute is the McLaughlin Centre for Molecular Medicine (MCMM) Specialized hospitals are also outside of the downtown core These hospitals include the Baycrest Health Sciences geriatric hospital and the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital for children with disabilities Toronto is also host to a wide variety of health-focused non-profit organizations that work to address specific illnesses for Toronto Ontario and Canadian residents Organizations include Crohn's and Colitis Canada the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada the Canadian Cancer Society the Alzheimer Society of Canada Alzheimer Society of Ontario and Alzheimer Society of Toronto all situated in the same office at Yonge and Eglinton the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research Cystic Fibrosis Canada the Canadian Mental Health Association the ALS Society of Canada and many others These organizations work to help people within the GTA Ontario or Canada who are affected by these illnesses as well most engage in fundraising to promote research services and public awareness Transportation! .

MLS Newcomer of the Year Incorporated in Canada West (1841-1867) The Ottawa River timber trade resulted from Napoleon's 1806 Continental Blockade in Europe the United Kingdom required a new source of timber for its navy and shipbuilding Later the UK's application of gradually increasing preferential tariffs increased Canadian imports the trade in squared timber lasted until the 1850s the transportation of raw timber by means of floating down the Ottawa River was proved possible in 1806 by Philemon Wright. Squared timber would be assembled into large rafts which held living quarters for men on their six-week journey to Quebec City which had large exporting facilities and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean The timber trade was Upper and Lower Canada's major industry in terms of employment and value of the product.Greening (1961) pp 111 the largest supplier of square red and white pine to the British market was the Ottawa River and the Ottawa Valley They had "rich red and white pine forests." Bytown (later called Ottawa) was a major lumber and sawmill centre of Canada Transportation and communications. 4 Demographics 4.1 Corporations, 1.1.1 Secular Raptors 905 Basketball NBA G League Mississauga Paramount Fine Foods Centre, The Great Lakes Circle Tour and Seaway Trail are designated scenic road systems connecting all of the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River.
