    Barton Myers

    Barton Myers, RCA, FRAIC, architect (born 6 November 1934 in Norfolk, Virginia). Barton Myers is considered one of Toronto’s most influential architects, even though he hasn’t worked in Canada for more than 30 years. His architecture is notable for its activist stance on city design. He is passionate about the health of cities and the need to balance preservation and renewal. Much of his early seminal work in Canada is focused on mixed-use prototypes, infill housing and the sensitive combination of old and new to create richly layered urban environments. His innovative approach breathed new life into neighbourhoods slated for the wrecking ball and left a lasting mark on the city of Toronto.

    Basques

    The Basques were expert fishermen and sailors from the southeast corner of the Bay of Biscay as early as the 16th century. With the Portuguese, they were early arrivals to Newfoundland's Grand Banks. Attracted by fishing and hunting opportunities, the Basques came back to North America yearly. They notably met the explorer and cartographer Samuel de Champlain, and had good relations with the Indigenous peoples they encountered. Some place names in Eastern Canada, as well as the word orignal (moose), adopted by French Canadians, are of Basque origin.
