History
The town of Cantley was founded in the 1830s by Colonel Cantley, a subordinate of Colonel John By during the period that included the birth of the city of Bytown (now Ottawa). Lieutenant-Colonel John By (probably 7 August 1779 &ndash 1 February 1836) was an English military engineer best remembered for Bytown is the former name of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada's capital city Ottawa (ˈɒtəwə or sometimes /ˈɒtəwɑː/ is the Capital of Canada and the country's fourth largest municipality. During this time, Colonel Cantley went north and set foot in land several kilometres from Bytown where he remained until his death. In the 1850s, the area started to develop with the construction of its post office in honour of Cantley and a mass arrival of Irish descendents. Education started to play a role in the same period when a Roman Catholic chapel and school were built as a result of the increasing number of residents in the area. Another school was built on a farmer's land in 1858.
In 1925, a new hydroelectric dam was constructed along the Gatineau River, making it the biggest economic and industrial project of the town's history. A dam is a barrier that divides waters. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water while other structures such as Floodgates, Levees The Gatineau River is a River in western Quebec, Canada which rises in lakes north of the Baskatong Reservoir and flows south to join the Ottawa This is now known today as the Rapides-Farmers Hydroelectric Station (Centrale Rapides-Farmers). However, the station is now within the city of Gatineau limits.
The Mont Cascades resort opened during the 1960s and 1970's and represents a major part of the town's recreational and touristic assets.
Previously, Cantley was a rural village until annexed by the city of Gatineau in 1975. Year 1975 ( MCMLXXV) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. As this move proved highly unpopular with Cantley's rural residents, they worked feverishly to petition the provincial government to grant Cantley its former independence. This effort was successful in 1989, when Cantley became, once again, an independent rural community.
Legend surrounding a mythical beach
According to oral history passed down through many generations (Algonquin to Irish settlers and French fur traders of the Gatineau River, then to this day French locals), there exists a large beach hidden in Cantley. Although no physical data seems to support the existence of any significantly sized beach in the municipality, some suggest it was flooded by the creation of hydroelectric dams.
Cantley Dry Materials Dump Issue
From 2005 to 2007 controversy arose concerning a dry materials dump located in the northern end of the town. Nearby residents complained about toxic pollutants generated by the dump that caused effects on their health. Many residents and mayor Steve Harris firmly requested the closure of the dump. In late 2005, a fire broke out underneath the material for several weeks and caused an evacuation from the nearby residents The fire was initially thought to be caused by combustible fuel, but according to the owners of the dump, a criminal hand may have been involved.
Several lawsuits were planned by residents against the owner and on July 11, 2006, the town went to court against the dump for a compensation of over $55,000 for the fire and cover costs for the evacuation process and firefighters salary[4] Tensions rose once more when the owner, Gilles Proulx, launched a $750,000 lawsuit against a local couple. Events 911 - Signing of the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between Charles the Simple and Rollo of Normandy. Firefighters are rescuers extensively trained primarily to put out hazardous Fires that threaten civilian populations and property to rescue people from car accidents collapsed Proulx claimed that the couple had made comments against his reputation. [5].
The Quebec Ministry of Environnment forced the owners to adopt measures to reduce the amount of toxic pollutants and gave them several delays to comply. [6]. About a year later, it received a second warning and was giving another 10-day notice to meet the Ministry's standards or it would be forced to shut down its operations. [7]
On September 21, 2006, the Minister Claude Béchard ordered its closure but as the owners challenged the decision to court, it was re-opened occasionally. Events 1217 - The Estonian tribal leader Lembitu of Lehola was killed in a battle against Teutonic Knights. Claude Béchard (born June 29, 1969 in Saint-Philippe-de-Néri Quebec) is a politician in Quebec, Canada. The site is currently not in operation as the case is still under study by a provincial court, but the Tribunal administratif du Québec supported in October 2007 the Minister's decision. [8][9][10]
