The Inclusive Design Institute (IDI) directed by Jutta Treviranus and funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, is a regional research network for inclusive design founded in 2008 and officially launched on 24 May 2012, with the aim to "address the challenge of designing our information and communication systems (ICT) so that they work for all potential users including users with disabilities varying language needs and diverse cultural preferences"; it consists of eight core postsecondary partners (OCAD University University of Toronto Ryerson University York University University of Ontario Institute of Technology Sheridan College George Brown College and Seneca College) and over 100 collaborating organizations Commercialization of research is supported by two incubators:, Semifinals Mexico Santos Laguna Main article: Presbyterian Church in Canada, 2018 96C 51 424 604 1.2.2.2 Hindu D 3.4 Environment and energy See also: List of airports in New Brunswick! . 4.2 Loyalists and the land grant system, A map of the Toronto purchase notable is the British surveyor's insistence on using a grid instead of using the natural features to demarcate boundaries such as Etobicoke Creek Under the Treaty of Paris which ended the conflict between Great Britain and its former colonies the boundary of British North America was set in the middle of the Great Lakes This made the land north of the border more important strategically and as the place for Loyalists to settle after the war in 1781 the Mississaugas surrendered a strip of land along the Niagara River and in 1783 land on the Bay of Quinte for the Mohawks who had been loyal to the British to settle (today's Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory) Between 1783 and 1785 10,000 Loyalists arrived and were settling on land the Crown had recognized as Indian Land in 1784 the Mississaugas surrendered more land in the Niagara peninsula including land on the Grand River for the Iroquois In 1786 Lord Dorchester arrived in Quebec City as Governor-in-Chief of British North America His mission was to solve the problems of the newly landed Loyalists at first Dorchester suggested opening the new Canada West as districts under the Quebec government but the British Government made known its intention to split Canada into Upper and Lower Canada Dorchester began organizing for the new province of Upper Canada including a capital Dorchester's first choice was Kingston but was aware of the number of Loyalists in the Bay of Quinte and Niagara areas and chose instead the location north of the Bay of Toronto midway between the settlements and 30 miles (48 km) from the US Under the policy of the time the British recognized aboriginal title to the land and Dorchester arranged to purchase the lands from the Mississaugas The 1787 purchase according to British records was conducted on September 23 1787 at the "Carrying-Place" of Bay of Quinte the British crown and the Mississaugas of New Credit met to arrange for the surrender of lands along Lake Ontario in the case of the Toronto area the Mississaugas of New Credit exchanged 250,808 acres (101,498 ha) of land in what became York County (most of current Toronto and the Regional Municipality of York bounded by Lake Ontario to the south approximately Etobicoke Creek/Highway 27 to the west approximately Ashbridge's Bay/Woodbine Avenue-Highway 404 to the east and approximately south of Sideroad 15-Bloomington Road to the north) for some money 2,000 gun flints 24 brass kettles 120 mirrors 24 laced hats a bale of flowered flannel and 96 gallons of rum At the time the Mississaugas believed that the agreement was not a purchase extinguishing their rights to the land but a rental of the lands for British use in exchange for gifts and presents in perpetuity In 1788 surveyor Alexander Aitken was assigned to conduct a survey of the Toronto site the Mississaugas blocked him for surveying west of the Humber saying the lands to the west had not been ceded Aitken was only allowed to survey the land after British authorities interceded with the Mississaugas Aitken surveyed west to Etobicoke Creek but did not survey more than a few miles from the lake before stopping to avoid further confrontation 1805 indenture. Ontario's rivers make it rich in hydroelectric energy in 2009 Ontario Power Generation generated 70 percent of the province's electricity of which 51 percent is nuclear 39% is hydroelectric and 10% is fossil-fuel derived by 2025 nuclear power is projected to supply 42% while fossil-fuel-derived generation is projected to decrease slightly over the next 20 years. Much of the newer power generation coming online in the last few years is natural gas or combined-cycle natural gas plants OPG is not however responsible for the transmission of power which is under the control of Hydro One The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is one of three nuclear power stations in Ontario Despite its diverse range of power options problems related to increasing consumption lack of energy efficiency and aging nuclear reactors Ontario has been forced in recent years to purchase power from its neighbours Quebec and Michigan to supplement its power needs during peak consumption periods Ontario's basic domestic rate in 2010 was 11.17 cents per kWh; by contrast Quebec's was 6.81 in December 2013 the government projected a 42 percent hike by 2018 and 68 percent by 2033. Industrial rates are projected to rise by 33% by 2018 and 55% in 2033 The Green Energy and Green Economy Act 2009 (GEA) takes a two-pronged approach to commercializing renewable energy; first it aims to bring more renewable energy sources to the province; and secondly it aims to adopt more energy-efficiency measures to help conserve energy the bill envisaged appointing a Renewable Energy Facilitator to provide "one-window" assistance and support to project developers to facilitate project approvals The approvals process for transmission projects would also be streamlined and (for the first time in Ontario) the bill would enact standards for renewable energy projects Homeowners would have access to incentives to develop small-scale renewables such as low- or no-interest loans to finance the capital cost of renewable energy generating facilities like solar panels The Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations is a hydroelectric plant located in Niagara Falls Ontario is home to Niagara Falls which supplies a large amount of electricity to the province the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station the largest operational nuclear power plant in the world is also in Ontario and uses 8 CANDU reactors to generate electricity for the province Ontario had the most wind energy capacity of the country with 4,900 MW of power (41% of Canada capacity) Government law and politics!
