; Tracey Johnston-Aldworth - entrepreneur environmentalist By the 1960s and 1970s the increased pollution caused frequent algal blooms to occur in the summer. These blooms killed large numbers of fish and left decomposing piles of filamentous algae and dead fish along the shores at times the blooms became so thick waves could not break Fish eating birds such as osprey bald eagle and cormorant were being poisoned by contaminated fish Since the 1960s and 1970s environmental concerns have forced a cleanup of industrial and municipal wastes Cleanup has been accomplished through better treatment plants tighter environmental regulations deindustrialization and increased public awareness Today Lake Ontario has recovered some of its pristine quality; for example walleye a fish species considered as a marker of clean water are now found However regional airshed pollution remains a concern the lake has also become an important sport fishery although with introduced species (Coho and Chinook salmon) rather than the native species Bald eagle and osprey populations are also beginning to recover Invasive species are a problem for Lake Ontario particularly lamprey and zebra mussels Lamprey are being controlled by poisoning in the juvenile stage in the streams where they breed Zebra mussels in particular are difficult to control and pose major challenges for the lake and its waterways Climate; . . 1825 157,923 +5.2% Furbish's lousewort is a herb endemic to the shores of the upper Saint John River Most of New Brunswick is forested with secondary forest or tertiary forest At the start of European settlement the Maritimes were covered from coast to coast by a forest of mature trees giants by today's standards Today less than one per cent of old-growth Acadian forest remains, and the World Wide Fund for Nature lists the Acadian Forest as endangered. Following the frequent large scale disturbances caused by settlement and timber harvesting the Acadian forest is not growing back as it was but is subject to borealization This means that exposure-resistant species that are well adapted to the frequent large scale disturbances common in the boreal forest are increasingly abundant These include jack pine balsam fir black spruce white birch and poplar. Forest ecosystems support large carnivores such as the bobcat Canada lynx and black bear and the large herbivores moose and white-tailed deer Fiddlehead greens are harvested from the Ostrich fern which grows on riverbanks Furbish's lousewort a perennial herb endemic to the shores of the upper Saint John River is an endangered species threatened by habitat destruction riverside development forestry littering and recreational use of the riverbank.

While the GTA provided a strong base of support for the Progressive Conservative government between 1995 and 2003 the Ontario Liberal Party roared to victory in the GTA during the 2003 election and has enjoyed strong support from the region ever since in the 2011 election the Liberals won 33 of the 44 available seats in the GTA allowing Premier Dalton McGuinty to hold onto a minority government the 2014 election under McGuinty's successor Kathleen Wynne was an even bigger electoral landslide for the Liberals as they won 38 seats in the region They even took a number of ridings in territory that had voted PC for decades like Durham Burlington Newmarket-Aurora and Halton the PCs hold no seats in the Peel Region and only one seat in each of the Halton York and Durham regions While the NDP has been weak in the GTA since the 1995 election they have seen some successes in Brampton and the Durham Region where they hold one seat each The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has not won a riding in the city of Toronto during a general election since 1999 on the other end of the spectrum the NDP saw major losses in Toronto during the 2014 election and only hold two seats in the city This is no longer the case since the 2018 provincial election as the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP made significant gains at the expense of the Liberals Municipal politics. 28 Goalkeeper Caleb Patterson-Sewell United States Modernist apartment towers of St James Town based on Le Corbusier's "towers in the park" concept The postwar years also saw the rise of apartment style housing in the 1960s and 1970s this kind of housing was mostly focused on low to middle income residents Beginning in the 1950s the city bulldozed older lower income neighbourhoods replacing them with housing projects ultimately destroying large sections of Victorian housing the earliest and most notorious example of such projects was Regent Park it replaced a large portion of Cabbagetown with a series of low-rise and high-rise buildings that quickly became crime-ridden and even more depressed than the neighbourhood it replaced in later years similar projects such as Moss Park and Alexandra Park were less disastrous but also far from successful Canada's densest community St James Town was built in this era as a high-rise community of private and public housing in separate towers also replacing a Victorian neighbourhood These patterns changed dramatically beginning in the 1970s and gentrification began transforming once poor neighbourhoods such as Cabbagetown into some of the city's most popular and expensive real estate Outside of the core even new neighbourhoods experienced significant high-rise apartment building construction as builders embraced the "towers in the park" design invented by Le Corbusier the towers were built further from the sidewalk leaving room on the property around the edifice for parking lawns trees and other landscaping They are typically simple brick-clad high-rise buildings with rectangular footprints and little ornamentation other than repeating series of balconies for each apartment However some apartment buildings from this era utilize less conventional designs in the "tower in the park" format such as the Prince Arthur Towers Jane-Exbury Towers and 44 Walmer Road designed by Uno Prii In 1972 the Canadian tax code was radically altered making rental housing much less attractive to investors At the same time deindustrialization opened a number of new areas to residential development the new projects took the form of condominiums This form of housing was introduced in the province's Condominium Act in the 1960s but it was not until the 1980s that condos become very popular An initial condo boom started in 1986 but the market collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s recession and many investors were badly mauled In 1995 condo prices were still 30% below the earlier highs. That year a new boom began in Toronto that has continued to this day An unprecedented number of new projects have been built in Toronto in 2000 Condo Life magazine listed 152 separate projects underway within the city of Toronto by 2007 the number of projects in the GTA had reached 247 This development has been concentrated in the downtown core especially in the former industrial areas just outside the central business district the largest such project is CityPlace a cluster of condo towers on former railway lands by the lake shore This $2 billion project will eventually consist of 20 different towers housing some 12,000 people. Transit-oriented developments are also common in Toronto such as at North York Centre and Sheppard East along the namesake subway line and Sheppard West along the subway line's future westward extension Commercial architecture.
