A view of the 2014 Winter Classic ice hockey game from the stands of Michigan Stadium The Red Wings hosted the Maple Leafs at the 2014 NHL Winter Classic in Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor Michigan The Detroit Red Wings and the Maple Leafs are both Original Six teams playing their first game together in 1927 From 1929 to 1993 the teams met each other in the 16 playoff series as well as seven Stanley Cup Finals Meeting one another for a combined 23 times in the postseason they have played each other in more playoff series than any other two teams in NHL history with the exception of the Bruins and Canadiens who have played a total of 34 playoff series. Overlapping fanbases particularly in markets such as Windsor Ontario and the surrounding Essex County have added to the rivalry The rivalry between the Detroit Red Wings and the Maple Leafs was at its height during the Original Six era the Leafs and Red Wings met in the playoffs six times during the 1940s including four Stanley Cup finals the Leafs beat the Red Wings in five of their six meetings in the 1950s the Leafs and Red Wings met one another in six Stanley Cup semifinals; the Red Wings beat the Leafs in five of their six meetings. From 1961 to 1967 the two teams met one another in three playoff series including two Stanley Cup finals. Within those 25 years the Leafs and Red Wings played a total of 15 playoff series including six Cup Finals; the Maple Leafs beat the Red Wings in all six Cup Finals The teams have only met three times in the playoffs since the Original Six era with their last meeting in 1993. After the Leafs moved to the Eastern Conference in 1998 they faced each other less often and the rivalry began to stagnate the rivalry became intradivisional once again in 2013 when Detroit was moved to the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference as part of a realignment Montreal Canadiens, 3 See also 2019 Hindu Main article: Demographics of Toronto. Stratford Ontario 13 External links Toronto is built on the former lake bed of Lake Iroquois This large flat expanse presents few natural limits to growth and throughout its history Toronto has sprawled outward and today has a ring of suburbs that spans hundreds of square kilometres in 2005 the provincial government has attempted to place an artificial limit to this growth in the form of a Greenbelt around the city Toronto was planned out on a grid system of concession lines spaced about two kilometres apart that separated rural landholdings Major avenues were established along each concession line as the city spread outward These avenues run straight with few diversions for long stretches and Toronto is notable for the considerable length of its major streets Most of the avenues go from one side of the city to the other and often continue deep into the neighbouring suburbs Suburban expansion replaced these rural lots with subdivisions made of crescents and cul-de-sacs These local road networks were designed to reduce and slow traffic redirecting vehicles to the avenues These wide avenues that even run through the central city have also made it easier for Toronto to retain a streetcar system which was among the few North American cities to do so The most important obstacle to construction is Toronto's network of ravines Historically city planners filled in many of the ravines and when this was not possible planners mostly ignored them though today the remaining ones are embraced for their natural beauty Ravines have helped isolate some central neighbourhoods from the rest of the city and have contributed to the exclusivity of certain neighbourhoods such as Rosedale Opened in 1889 the Don Valley Brick Works was one of several local brickworks the abundance of clay in the area made brick a commonly used material for construction Building materials. .

Faculties of Ryerson University 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, Galt now part of Cambridge Ontario 4 Ecology and environmental concerns Built in 1887 the Victoria Industrial School for Boys was the destination for youth convicted of crimes and "incorrigible" youth until it was closed in 1934 Boys at the school were housed in "cottages," two to three story brick buildings housing as many as forty boys and quite unlike the wood-frame houses in nearby Mimico in the "cottages," the boys were supervised by a man and woman usually husband and wife. However despite the homely setting the school was often a place of violence for the boys there including such treatment as being handcuffed to the bed beaten and placed on bread-and-water diets These abuses were the focus of investigations by the province as well as reporting in the Toronto Daily Star. Although the school was operated locally the school was increasingly populated by boys from across the province the site was used for the education of inmates under various names including the Mimico Correctional Centre and is now home to the Toronto South Detention Centre Alexandra School for Girls. Etymology The Distillery District holds the largest collection of preserved Victorian industrial architecture in North America In the 1800s a thriving industrial area developed around Toronto Harbour and lower Don River mouth linked by rail and water to Canada and the United States Examples included the Gooderham and Worts Distillery Canadian Malting Company the Toronto Rolling Mills the Union Stockyards and the Davies pork processing facility (the inspiration for the "Hogtown" nickname) This industrial area expanded west along the harbour and rail lines and was supplemented by the infilling of the marshlands on the east side of the harbour to create the Port Lands a garment industry developed along lower Spadina Avenue the "Fashion District" Beginning in the late 19th century industrial areas were set up on the outskirts such as West Toronto/The Junction where the Stockyards relocated in 1903 the Great Fire of 1904 destroyed a large amount of industry in the downtown Some of the companies moved west along King Street some as far west as Dufferin Street; where the large Massey-Harris farm equipment manufacturing complex was located. Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America. Some industry remains in the area including the Redpath Sugar Refinery Similar areas that retain their industrial character but are now largely residential are the Fashion District Corktown and parts of South Riverdale and Leslieville Toronto still has some active older industrial areas such as Brockton Village Mimico and New Toronto in the west end of Old Toronto and York the Weston/Mount Dennis and the Junction areas still contain factories meat-packing facilities and rail yards close to medium-density residential although the Junction's Union Stockyards moved out of Toronto in 1994 The "brownfield" industrial area of the Port Lands on the east side of the harbour is one area planned for redevelopment. Formerly a marsh that was filled in to create industrial space it was never intensely developed its land unsuitable for large-scale development because of flooding and unstable soil it still contains numerous industrial uses such as the Portlands Energy Centre power plant some port facilities some movie and TV production studios a concrete processing facility and various low-density industrial facilities the Waterfront Toronto agency has developed plans for a naturalized mouth to the Don River and to create a flood barrier around the Don making more of the land on the harbour suitable for higher-value residential and commercial development a former chemicals plant site along the Don River is slated to become a large commercial complex and transportation hub Public spaces.
