OBS

The Dominion Observatory was founded for very pragmatic reasons. The objective was to have a longitude reference (with associated time signal) for surveying in Canada: "To open up the West". Surveyors in the field would compare the time signal of the Dominion Observatory with their local time determined by astronomical observations - the difference corresponding to longitude difference between Canada’s prime meridian (Dominion Observatory) and their location. Construction of the building began in July 1902 was completed in 1905.

OBS

The Dominion Observatory was an astronomical observatory in Ottawa, Canada that operated from 1905 to 1970. The Observatory was also an institution within the Canadian Federal Government. The observatory grew out of the Department of the Interior's need for the precise coordinates and timekeeping that at that time could only come from an observatory. For several years they had used a small observatory on the Ottawa River for this purpose. In 1902 it was decided that Canada needed a larger national observatory similar to the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Britain. The new building was thus erected near Dow's Lake on the Agriculture Department's Central Experimental Farm land. This building was completed in 1905. Its main instrument was a 15 inch refracting telescope, the largest refracting telescope ever installed in Canada. While the building and institution were primarily dedicated to astronomical timekeeping in support of surveying, a number of other activities took place here. The Dominion Observatory was Canada's leading institution in Geophysics for many decades, which included the operation of Canada's national seismometer network. The facility did important work but with this bridgehead into the world of astronomy and the growth of the field of astrophysics Canadian astronomers quickly demanded a facility designed for the new scientific age.

L'Observatoire fédéral fut fondé pour des raisons très pragmatiques. L'objectif était d'obtenir une référence de longitude (comprenant le signal horaire associé) pour l'arpentage au Canada : «Pour coloniser l'Ouest». Les arpenteurs sur le terrain devaient comparer le signal horaire de l'Observatoire fédéral avec l'heure locale où ils se trouvaient, déterminée par des observations astronomiques, soit la différence correspondant à l'écart de longitude entre le méridien origine au Canada (l'Observatoire fédéral) et leur emplacement. La construction de l'édifice débuta en juillet 1902 et fut achevée en 1905.

Title chosen by the provinces for the New Identities Project, chosen by the Federal Government.

OBS

Since 1992, Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC) and Revenue Canada(RC) have had an ad hoc process in place to respond to requests from victims who are trying to change their identity to escape life-threatening spousal abuse. Through this process, victims are provided with a new, delinked(no computer links) Social Insurance Number(SIN). Canada Pension Plan, tax and social benefit records are also securely recreated under the new SIN. Because of concerns about client safety, HRDC and Revenue Canada have initiated an interdepartmental project to complete in-depth work with other federal partners, the provinces and territories to determine whether a nationally co-ordinated New Identities Program can be implemented. This initiative seeks to support the justice system by addressing the concerns of victims of extreme family violence in relation to safety, restitution and the prevention of further violence.
