The City of Oshawa

            Originally used as a trading post by the French to trade fur with the Indians of Mississauga.  Oshawa official became a town in 1850 when the government agreed to build a Post office for the residents.  Stuck on a name for the town, the residents asked for the input of two natives who where passing through.  The natives recommend the name Oshawa, meaning the that point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for the trail, the people immediately agreed with the natives and a the town was born. Population of 152,000 + and growing

The Town Of Courtice

History

The Area of Courtice was first settled in the late 18^th century, and Courtice takes its name from one of the early families in the area. In the mid 19^th century a post office with the name and rail connections became available on both the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk main lines which passed south near Lake Ontario. Courtice continued to be primarily a small rural village well into the 20^th century, housing developments beginning in the mid 1980’s caused the population to quickly grow from approximately 1,500 to over 20,000. By the mid 1990’s growth in the town of Courtice slowed somewhat, new housing developments are continuing and the area remains popular due to relatively low prices. The current population of Courtice is Over 20,000 and growing.

Friends Of Second Marsh

The SECOND MARSH WILDLIFE AREA is a 123 ha coastal wetland located in the southeast portion of Oshawa, (Regional Municipality of Durham), Ontario, Canada.  The combination of Second Marsh with the adjacent areas of McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve and Darlington Provincial Park represents nearly 400 hectares, one of the largest publicly accessible waterfront spaces available in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).  It is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario in a major urban center, and is unique in being the largest remaining wetland in the GTA. The Second Marsh Wildlife Area is host to marsh, swamp, wet meadows, a barrier beach and woodlot habitats.  Within the Marsh, you will find sedges and cattails as well as thickets and open water.  At the north end of the Marsh, a swamp and wet forest known as the Ghost Road Bush provides additional food and cover for certain wildlife.  Together, with wet meadows and the surrounding uplands, this dynamic ecosystem supports a rich and diverse wildlife community.  These habitats provide food and cover for over 380 plant species, 305 bird species, numerous species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and hundreds of species of insects.
