30 h. ago Destroyed Ontario ghost town was almost a historic catastrophe

Once a quaint French Ontarian farming village nestled along the South Nation River, Lemieux, Ontario, is now nothing more than a distant memory.Formerly located just an hour's drive east of Ottawa, the town's origins can be traced back to the mid-1850s, when it began as a service centre for the local lumber industry before transitioning into a farming hamlet.Though the community appeared stable on the surface, it was built on sensitive marine silts and clays, known as Leda clay, which were laid down during the Champlain Sea roughly 10,000 years ago.The 1993 Lemeiux landslide. Photo: South Nation Conservation Authority.On May 4, 1971, a landslide in Saint-Jean-Vianney, Quebec, which was caused by the same type of soil, resulted in the deaths of 31 people and the destruction of 40 homes.In the aftermath, the Geological Survey of Canada began soil testing in similar regions, including areas along the South Nation River.

54 h. ago One of Toronto's best donut shops is closing down after 14 years

A Toronto donut shop known in equal measures for its salacious name as its tasty treats will be closing down for good this summer, as its founder pursues a new direction.It's been a storied run for Toronto's Glory Hole Doughnuts, which, over the past 14 years, has earned itself not only an evangelical community support base but a reputation for being one of the city's best doughnut shops — if not the best.Despite the popularity that the shop's various locations have sustained over the years, though, operating a small business always comes with its fair share of difficulties, a reality that owner Ashley Jacot de Boinod has never shied away from sharing.From highs like expanding from their original Parkdale space to new locations in Harbord Village, Little India and a pop-up in the Eaton Centre to more challenging moments like closing down the aforementioned Parkdale shop and getting candid about the difficulty of maintaining a business i...
