In 1920 a Provincial Act created the Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC) and with the expiration of the TRC's franchise in 1921 the Commission took over and amalgamated nine existing fare systems within the city limits Between 1921 and 1953 the TTC added 35 new routes in the city and extended 20 more it also operated 23 suburban routes on a service-for-cost basis it abandoned the unprofitable North Yonge Railways radial railway line Toronto Transportation Commission bus in Yorkville in 1923, 2010 65 32 260 330 Toronto Blue Jays MLB Baseball Rogers Centre 1977 2 (last in 1993).

Chauncey sought to relieve the British-Native blockade of Fort George by attacking British supply lines at Burlington Heights at the western end of Lake Ontario. Winfield Scott's force disembarked east of the heights at Burlington Beach (present day Burlington) on July 29 but found the defenders too well-entrenched for any assault to be successful Anticipating Chauncey's intentions Major-General Francis de Rottenburg Sheaffe's successor as Lieutenant Governor ordered the bulk of the troops at York to the Burlington Heights. However this left York largely undefended as most of its militia were still on parole the American squadron proceeded to York in order to seize food stores to feed its soldiers the last remaining troop in York members of the 19th Light Dragoons collected the military supplies they could carry and withdrew along the Don River the American landing of 340 men at York was unopposed with the American force burning the barracks at the fort the military fuel yards and looted several properties. They also seized 11 batteaux 5 cannons and some flour before reembarking on their ships leaving the settlement later that night the library books that were looted from the battle in April 1813 were returned to the settlement during the second incursion into York The Ontario Heritage Foundation erected a plaque in 1968 near the entrance to Coronation Park Exhibition Place Lake Shore Boulevard in commemoration of the event the plaque reads:, The UNDP was founded on 22 November 1965 with the merging of the Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance (EPTA) and the Special Fund the rationale was to "avoid duplication of [their] activities" the EPTA was set up in 1949 to help the economic and political aspects of underdeveloped countries while the Special Fund was to enlarge the scope of UN technical assistance the Special Fund arose from the idea of a Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development (SUNFED) (which was initially called the United Nations Fund for Economic Development (UNFED) Countries such as the Nordic countries were proponents of such a United Nations (UN) controlled fund However the fund was opposed by developed countries especially by the United States who was wary of the Third World dominating such a funding and preferred it to be under the auspices of the World Bank the concept of SUNFED was dropped to form the Special Fund This Special Fund was a compromise over the SUNFED concept it did not provide investment capital but only helped to bring pre-conditions for private investment With the US proposing and creating the International Development Association within the World Bank's umbrella the EPTA and the Special Fund appeared to be conducting similar work in 1962 the United Nations Economic and Social Council asked the Secretary General to consider the merits and disadvantages of merging UN technical assistance programs and in 1966 the EPTA and the Special Fund merged to form the UNDP Budget. 2.3 Commuter rail and buses 10.2 Transportation, flag Canada portal Other Renewables (7.9%) The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) was created by the Secretary General in 1997 to improve the effectiveness of UN development at the country level the UNDG brings together the operational agencies working on development the Group is chaired by the Administrator of UNDP UNDP also provides the Secretariat to the Group The UNDG develops policies and procedures that allow member agencies to work together and analyse country issues plan support strategies implement support programmes monitor results and advocate for change These initiatives increase UN impact in helping countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) including poverty reduction 32 UN agencies are members of the UNDG the Executive Committee consists of the four "founding members": UNICEF UNFPA WFP and UNDP the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is an ex-officio member of the Executive Committee Resident coordinator system.

Hopewell Rocks are rock formations located at the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy near Hopewell Cape Bedrock types range from 1 billion to 200 million years old. 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, 2.2 Parliament Ontario has grown from its roots in Upper Canada into a modern jurisdiction the old titles of the chief law officers the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General remain in use They both are responsible to the Legislature the Attorney-General drafts the laws and is responsible for criminal prosecutions and the administration of justice while the Solicitor-General is responsible for law enforcement and the police services of the province the Municipal Act 2001 (Ontario) is the main statute governing the creation administration and government of municipalities in the Canadian province of Ontario other than the City of Toronto After being passed in 2001 it came into force on January 1 2003 replacing the previous Municipal Act.
