    Library of Parliament

    The Library of Parliament came into being when the legislative libraries of Upper and Lower Canada were amalgamated in 1841 and situated in Montréal. In 1849 only 200 of the 12,000 books were saved when an angry mob protesting the Rebellion Losses Bill set fire to the Parliament Buildings.

    Lighthouses in Canada

    Canada’s massive coastline and 2 million lakes have a rich history of lighthouses, and many continue to stand to this day. Lighthouses and long-range lights have served as navigational beacons, helping keep vessels safe for centuries. While many continue to serve as navigational aids, many lighthouses in Canada are now heritage sites protected by parks and communities.

    Little Burgundy and Montreal's Black English-Speaking Community

    Little Burgundy is a neighbourhood in the southwest borough of Montreal, Quebec. It is the historical home of the city’s Black English-speaking, working-class community (see also Black Canadians). Montreal's early Black settlement was comprised mainly of African Americans who lived in the Faubourg (French for "suburb") of St. Antoine — a neighbourhood that is now known as Little Burgundy. The settlement dates to the emergence of the railway companies in the mid- to late 19th century and the era of the Black sleeping car porters.

    Living Shorelines

    Living shorelines, also known as green shorelines, are a form of environmental soft engineering designed to reduce coastal erosion and protect waterfront properties. By planting native grasses, shrubs and other vegetation along the coastline, which act as a natural barrier against harsh waves and storms, living shorelines can absorb the impact and direct it away from eroding soil. In doing so, they also create suitable habitats for birds and various aquatic species. In many cases, they are a viable replacement for hard engineering erosion prevention like seawalls and rip-raps, which can damage the coastline and surrounding ecosystem. In other cases, living shorelines combine hard and soft engineering to better protect against intense climates. With so much versatility in terms of appearance and approach, it can be difficult to define what a true living shoreline looks like. This green infrastructure can be found along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada.
