Terra Nostra célèbre la cartographie du Canada et permet de partager cette incroyable ressource historique conservée dans les fonds de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. Cette institution réunit un grand éventail de réalisations cartographiques, qui s'étendent des portulans préparés par les premiers explorateurs aux images aériennes récentes des floes (ou glacesflottantes) de la côte Est. Les cartes du Canada ont servi à plusieurs, et ont rempli de multiples fonctions. Elles ont entretenu, chez les premiers marchands et aventuriers, la promesse de gloire et de fortune ; les chefs d'armée s'en sont servis pour consolider leur mainmise territoriale ; les politiciens ont, grâce aux cartes, légitimé l'empire qu'ils ont établi au pays ; les hommes d'affaires y ont eu recours pour proclamer leur fière appartenance à la communauté ; enfin, les cartes témoignent du type de collectivité que les simples citoyens veulent léguer à leurs enfants. Dépositaires de nos pensées et réflexions, les cartes canadiennes montrent les exploits techniques que notre pays a accomplis, et nous font mesurer l'évolution du savoir géographique. Elles sont une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde. Jeffrey S. Murray, archiviste principal à Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, participe depuis plus de vingt ans à l'acquisition de documents qui composent l'héritage cartographique du Canada. Depuis toujours passionné d'histoire canadienne, il a publié plus de cent articles de revues et plusieurs guides d'archives; il a aussi monté de nombreuses expositions.

Summary:
The practice of comparison is implicit in every act of imagining, representing, and studying urban experience. "Urban enigmas" contributes to recent interdisciplinary interest in cities by introducing comparison as a key methodology for urban cultural analysis. Contributors, part of the collaborative research project "The Culture of Cities : Montreal, Toronto, Dublin, and Berlin", address theoretical and methodological aspects of comparison, while case-studies examine the mutually constituted identities of Montreal and Toronto through examples of travel writing, public art, film festivals, theatrical performances, diasporic communities, ethnic festivals, and urban media. Comparison is shown to be not only something performed by experts but a deeply embedded, everyday social practice that contributes to the mutable identities of cities. "Urban enigmas" demonstrates that the accumulation of urban actions, encounters, experiences, and relationships create distinctive patterns that make it possible to recognize the particularity of cities. Contributors include Alan Blum (York), Kieran Bonner (St. Jerome's), Jenny Burman (McGill), Jean-François Côté (Université du Québec à Montréal), Michael Darroch (York), Nicholas DeMaria Harney (Western Australia), Kevin Dowler (York & Toronto), Dipti Gupta (Dawson College), Janine Marchessault (York), Jean-François Morissette (Université du Québec à Montréal), and Greg Nielsen (Concordia).

Summary:
Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities.

Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. "Terra Nostra" celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps. Drawn from the cartographic holdings of Library and Archives Canada, it spans four centuries - from the portolan charts of the early explorers to recent aerial images of east coast ice floes. Jeffrey S. Murray is senior archivist at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa.

Summary:
If architecture fails, if it is pedestrian and lacks imagination and power, it tells only one story, that of its own making: how it was built, detailed, financed. But a great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul. It can make us see the world in a wholly new way, change it forever. It can awaken our desires, propose(...)

Summary:
The ROM's architecture is a combination of many styles that reflect the times in which the individual buildings were designed, as well as the tastes of the ROM's leaders since the Museum's inception in 1912. Although the approaches vary, the ROM has always strived to create an outstanding institution, and its bold architectural visions over the years embody this goal. The ROM's first building (1914) may appear quaint and relatively modest today, but it was a significant undertaking at the time, an audacious move for a city the size of Toronto to envision a structure comparable to those in London or New York. Daniel Libeskind's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition of 2007 is the most recent expression of this spirit. This same impetus has made the ROM Canada's largest museum of natural history and world cultures, with more than six milion objects, in its collections and more than 1.5 milion visitors annually.

In Toronto, a paradox persists: amidst a widely acknowledged housing crisis, construction has ground to a halt. As of mid-2025, home starts have plummeted, and predictably, families are departing the province for more affordable regions. Building, by its nature, isn’t something that can change course quickly or easily. This needn’t mean that all creativity is stifled.(...)

Summary:
In Toronto, a paradox persists: amidst a widely acknowledged housing crisis, construction has ground to a halt. As of mid-2025, home starts have plummeted, and predictably, families are departing the province for more affordable regions. Building, by its nature, isn’t something that can change course quickly or easily. This needn’t mean that all creativity is stifled. Architects can still draw and urbanists can still write. Imagination persists. ''On the Courtyard'' has been created in this spirit. The culmination of a year-long architectural study collaboratively conducted by Studio VAARO and Gabriel Fain Architects, it marks the first of a series of research projects exploring building designs that could be suitable for, but are currently unbuildable in, Toronto. Funded by The Neptis Foundation, ''On the Courtyard'' examines European courtyard blocks and identifies opportunities for and challenges to their integration into Toronto’s urban landscape.

But in this original and intensive study of Toronto, Richard Harris shows that even prewar suburbs were socially and ethnically diverse, with a significant number of lower-income North American families making their homes on the urban fringe. In the United States and Canada, lack of planning set the stage for a uniquely North American tragedy. "Unplanned Suburbs" serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked suburban growth.
