2.3 Geology Lake Ontario is the easternmost of the Great Lakes and the smallest in surface area (7,340 sq mi 18,960 km2), although it exceeds Lake Erie in volume (393 cu mi 1,639 km3) It is the 13th largest lake in the world When its islands are included the lake's shoreline is 712 miles (1,146 km) long As the last lake in the Great Lakes' hydrologic chain Lake Ontario has the lowest mean surface elevation of the lakes at 243 feet (74 m) above sea level; 326 feet (99 m) lower than its neighbor upstream Its maximum length is 193 statute miles (311 kilometres; 168 nautical miles) and its maximum width is 53 statute miles (85 km; 46 nmi) the lake's average depth is 47 fathoms 1 foot (283 ft; 86 m) with a maximum depth of 133 fathoms 4 feet (802 ft; 244 m) the lake's primary source is the Niagara River draining Lake Erie with the St Lawrence River serving as the outlet the drainage basin covers 24,720 square miles (64,030 km2) as with all the Great Lakes water levels change both within the year (owing to seasonal changes in water input) and among years (owing to longer term trends in precipitation) These water level fluctuations are an integral part of lake ecology and produce and maintain extensive wetlands the lake also has an important freshwater fishery although it has been negatively affected by factors including over-fishing water pollution and invasive species Baymouth bars built by prevailing winds and currents have created a significant number of lagoons and sheltered harbors mostly near (but not limited to) Prince Edward County Ontario and the easternmost shores Perhaps the best-known example is Toronto Bay chosen as the site of the Upper Canada (Ontario) capital for its strategic harbour Other prominent examples include Hamilton Harbour Irondequoit Bay Presqu'ile Bay and Sodus Bay the bars themselves are the sites of long beaches such as Sandbanks Provincial Park and Sandy Island Beach State Park These sand bars are often associated with large wetlands which support large numbers of plant and animal species as well as providing important rest areas for migratory birds. Presqu'ile on the north shore of Lake Ontario is particularly significant in this regard One unique feature of the lake is the Z-shaped Bay of Quinte which separates Prince Edward County from the Ontario mainland save for a 2-mile (3.2 km) isthmus near Trenton; this feature also supports many wetlands and aquatic plants as well as associated fisheries Major rivers draining into Lake Ontario include the Niagara River Don River Humber River Trent River Cataraqui River Genesee River Oswego River Black River Little Salmon River and the Salmon River Geology, 2.1 Fan base Ottawa Champions Baseball Can-Am Ottawa Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park. .

Vte Buddhist 1 Etymology 1996 The Technical School Board was created to oversee a single school the Toronto Technical School Classes were first offered in 1892 in St Lawrence Hall but when enrollment exceeded expectations they were moved to Old Wycliffe Hall now part of the University of Toronto campus in 1901 classes were moved to the Stewart Building due to growing enrollment Finally the school moved to its current location in 1915 and is now known as the Central Technical School due to the construction of addition technical schools in the board Members of the Technical School Board were also appointed but by a different process than members of the Collegiate Institute Board Members of the Technical School Board were appointed by municipal council the Architectural Guild the Trades and Labour Council and the Association of Stationary Engineers. After amalgamation in 1904 members of the board became part of a special committee of the Toronto Board of Education Dr A.C McKay was an early champion of technical education The Toronto Board of Education. Schooling for children living in poverty was a concern of many of the Chief Inspectors of the TPSB including Inspector Hughes He and others campaigned for the passage of legislation to allow for the creation of industrial schools similar to those created in England in the meantime a class for expelled students was created in a church mission run by the Anglican Grace Church the space was provided for free by the church and the class was staffed by the TPSB who provided Esther Frances How who would go on to be widely remembered for her work at the school. Although the Ontario Industrial Schools Act was passed in 1874 industrial schools were not built in Toronto until 1887 when the province provided funding to support the construction of such schools the first two industrial schools in Toronto were the Victoria Industrial School for Boys and the Alexandra School for Girls the schools were both part of the Industrial Schools Association of Toronto Victoria Industrial School for Boys, Moravians 1,778 6.3 Provincial finances 3.4 Canada West.
