4.1 Media 5.1 Government On January 13 1813 John Armstrong Jr Was Appointed United States Secretary Of War Having Been A Serving Soldier He Quickly Appreciated The Situation On Lake Ontario And Devised A Plan By Which A Force Of 7,000 Regular Soldiers Would Be Concentrated At Sackett's Harbor On April 1 Working Together With Chauncey's Squadron This Force Would Capture Kingston Before The Saint Lawrence River Thawed And Substantial British Reinforcements Could Arrive In Upper Canada The Capture Of Kingston And The Destruction Of The Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard Together With Most Of The Vessels Of The Provincial Marine Would Make Almost Every British Post West Of Kingston Vulnerable If Not Untenable. After Kingston Was Captured The Americans Would Then Capture The British Positions At York And Fort George At The Mouth Of The Niagara River United States Secretary Of War John Armstrong Jr Originally Planned For An Attack On Kingston But Later Acquiesced To Changes That Made York The Attack's Target Armstrong Conferred With Major General Henry Dearborn Commander Of The American Army Of The North At Albany New York During February Both Dearborn And Chauncey Agreed With Armstrong's Plan At This Point But They Subsequently Had Second Thoughts That Month Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost The British Governor General Of Canada Travelled Up The Frozen Saint Lawrence To Visit Upper Canada This Visit Was Made Necessary Because Major General Roger Hale Sheaffe Who Had Succeeded Brock As Lieutenant Governor Of Upper Canada Was Ill And Unable To Perform His Various Duties Prevost Was Accompanied Only By A Few Small Detachments Of Reinforcements Which Participated In The Battle Of Ogdensburg En Route Nevertheless Both Chauncey And Dearborn Believed That Prevost's Arrival Indicated An Imminent Attack On Sackett's Harbor And Reported That Kingston Now Had A Garrison Of 6,000 Or More British Regulars Even Though Prevost Soon Returned To Lower Canada And Deserters And Pro-American Canadian Civilians Reported That The True Size Of Kingston's Garrison Was 600 Regulars And 1,400 Militia, Chauncey And Dearborn Chose To Accept The Earlier Inflated Figure Furthermore Even After Two Brigades Of Troops Under Brigadier General Zebulon Pike Reinforced The Troops At Sackett's Harbor After A Gruelling Winter March From Plattsburgh The Number Of Effective Troops Available To Dearborn Fell Far Short Of The 7,000 Planned Mainly As A Result Of Sickness And Exposure During March Chauncey And Dearborn Recommended To Armstrong That When The Ice On The Lake Thawed They Should Attack The Less Well-defended Town Of York Instead Of Kingston Although York Was The Provincial Capital Of Upper Canada It Was Far Less Important Than Kingston As A Military Objective Historians Such As John R Elting Have Pointed Out That This Change Of Plan Effectively Reversed Armstrong's Original Strategy And By Committing The Bulk Of The American Forces At The Western End Of Lake Ontario It Left Sackett's Harbor Vulnerable To An Attack By British Reinforcements Arriving From Lower Canada Armstrong By Now Back In Washington Nevertheless Acquiesced In This Change Of Plan As Dearborn Might Well Have Better Local Information. Armstrong Also Believed That An Easy Victory At York Would Provide The Government With A Significant Propaganda Coup As Well As Bolster Support For The Democratic-Republican Party For The Gubernational Election In New York The Attack Was Originally Planned To Commence In Early April Although A Long Winter Delayed The Attack On York By Several Weeks Threatening The Political Value Of Such An Attack In An Attempt To Overcome These Delays Democratic-Republicans Supporters Circulated Proclamations Of Victory Prior To The Battle To The New York Electorate The American Naval Squadron First Attempted To Depart From Sackets Harbor On April 23 1813 Although An Incoming Storm Forced The Squadron Back To Harbour In Order To Wait Out The Storm The Squadron Finally Departed On April 24 1813 British Preparations
People celebrating the incorporation of Toronto in 1834 the Town of York was incorporated as the new City of Toronto The town was incorporated on March 6 1834 reverting to the name of "Toronto" to distinguish it from New York City as well as about a dozen other localities named 'York' in the province (including York County in which Toronto was situated) and to disassociate itself from the negative connotation of dirty Little York a common nickname for the town by its residents William Lyon Mackenzie was its first mayor The new Reform-dominated municipal council quickly set to work to correct the problems left unchecked by the old Court of Quarter Sessions Unsurprisingly for "Muddy York" the new civic corporation made roads a priority This ambitious road improvement scheme put the new council in a difficult position; good roads were expensive yet the incorporation bill had limited the ability of the council to raise taxes An inequitable taxation system placed an unfair burden on the poorer members of the community Mackenzie decided to take the matter directly to the citizens and called a public meeting at the Market Square on July 29 1834 "for six that being the hour at which the Mechanicks and labouring classes can most conveniently attend without breaking on a day's labour." Mackenzie met with organized resistance as the newly resurrected "British Constitutional Society" with William H Draper as president Tory aldermen Carfrae Monro and Denison as vice-presidents and common councilman and newspaper publisher George Gurnett as secretary met the night before and "from 150 to 200 of the most respectable portion of the community assembled and unanimously resolved to meet the Mayor upon his own invitation." Sheriff William Jarvis took over the meeting and interrupted Mayor Mackenzie "to propose to the Meeting a vote of censure on his conduct as Mayor." in the resulting pandemonium the two sides agreed that they would hold a second meeting the next day In 1837 a revolutionary insurrection was crushed by British authorities and Canadian volunteer units at Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge Street The Tories called the meeting for three in the afternoon so that the working class "mechanics" would not be able to attend the inability of the mechanics to attend was their saving grace for the meeting ended in a terrible tragedy when the packed gallery overlooking Market Square collapsed pitching the onlookers into the butcher's stalls below killing four and injuring dozens the Tory press immediately placed the blame on Mackenzie even though he didn't attend the Toronto mechanics ironically spared the carnage because of the hour at which the meeting was appointed did not appear to be swayed by the Tory press in the October 1834 provincial elections Mackenzie was overwhelmingly elected in the second riding of York; Sheriff William Jarvis running in the city of Toronto lost to reformer James Edward Small by the slim margin of 252 to 260 votes Toronto was the site of the key events of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837 led by Mackenzie In 1841 the first gas street lamps appeared in Toronto Over 100 were installed that year in time for author Charles Dickens' visit in May 1842 Dickens described Toronto as "full of life motion business and improvement the streets are well-paved and lighted with gas." Dickens was on a North American tour View of Toronto looking west from King and Jarvis in 1845 the buildings right of the trees were later destroyed in the Great Fire of 1849 During the Typhus epidemic of 1847 863 Irish immigrants died of typhus at fever sheds built at the Toronto Hospital at the northwest corner of King Street and John Street the epidemic also killed the first Bishop of Toronto Michael Power while providing care and ministering to Irish immigrants fleeing the Great Famine The April 7 1849 Cathedral Fire destroyed the "Market Block" north of Market Square and St Lawrence Market as well as the first St James' Cathedral and a portion of Toronto's first City Hall While Toronto had a firefighting brigade and two fire halls the force could not stop the large fire and many businesses were lost a period of rebuilding followed After the Upper Canada Rebellion resentments between the ruling factions of the Family Compact and the Reform elements in Toronto continued as Irish and other Catholics migrated to Toronto and became a larger part of the population the Orange Order representing Protestant elements loyal to the British Crown fought to keep control of the ruling government and civil services the police constabulary and the fire departments were controlled through patronage and were under Orange control Orange elements were known to use violence against Catholics and Reformers and were immune to prosecution it would not be until the 20th Century that Toronto would have its first Catholic mayor Latter 19th century, The Rideau Canal in Ottawa Ontario Canada with Parliament Hill and the old "Union Station" visible in the background Main articles: First Welland Canal Rideau Canal and Desjardins Canal. !

Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory 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; .
