Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School (Cornwall, Ontario)

L'École secondaire catholique La Citadelle is a French-Language Catholic high school located in Cornwall, Ontario. It is managed by the Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l'Est ontarien. In 1950, Saint-Laurent High School, the precursor to La Citadelle, was established to cater to the predominantly French-speaking population of Cornwall Township. This initial step towards French-language education was facilitated by Laurier Carrière, an inspector for bilingual schools at the time. In 1965, a modest concession was made with the introduction of geography and history courses taught in French. However, it wasn't until 1968, a year before the regionalization of school boards, that a group of dedicated individuals, including Jeannine Séguin, Clément Charette, Robert Brault, Bernard Bertrand, Rhéal Martel, Jules Renaud, and Fathers Bernard Guindon and C.E. Claude, appeared before the Cornwall Board of Education. They boldly proposed that Saint-Laurent High School be designated as a French school and presented a detailed plan to achieve this goal. While the Board accepted the principle of a French-language school, they delayed further action, opting to wait for the regionalization of the Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry Board. The fight for an independent French secondary school in Cornwall intensified with the passage of Bill 141 and the establishment of French-language advisory committees. Despite facing resistance from the Board of Education, figures like Marcel Massé, Paul Rouleau, Claude Corbeil, and Bernard Bertrand, along with school trustees Albert Morin, Gérard Gauthier, Jean-Guy Gauthier, Jean Guindon, and Gérald Desjardins, tirelessly advocated for the cause. In a surprising turn of events, overcrowding at Saint-Laurent school in September 1970, coupled with the absence of planned construction within the city, led the Board to accept the creation of two schools within the same building. This temporary relay system, based on the language of instruction, was intended to last for two years until a new high school could be built in the city's east end. In September 1972, the French section gained a separate administration with the appointment of Jeannine Séguin as principal and Jules Renaud as assistant principal. However, by the spring of 1973, tensions rose due to the proposed extension of the relay system, uncertainty regarding which student group would be relocated, and lobbying by a Saint-Lawrence High School committee to maintain their morning relay schedule. The mounting pressure prompted the student government of the French relay to take action. They formed a "committee of eight," rallied local organizations, and initiated a strike on March 14, 1973. This strike, which continued until the creation of Professor Thomas Symons' committee of inquiry on April 4, ultimately led to the Davis government's intervention. The Symons report, released on April 20, vindicated the local community's demands, and their slogan "We want it, we will have it" became a triumphant reality. In the aftermath, the school board targeted teachers in an act of retribution. Jacques Boyer and Paul Bezozzi were dismissed, and three other teachers faced disciplinary action for their alleged involvement in the student strike. This injustice sparked the formation of a united Franco-Ontarian front, encompassing AEFO, ACFO, AFCSO, API, and the Youth Department, to fight against this discrimination. Gérard Gauthier resigned from the Council in protest. On June 12, 1973, the school was officially named "La Citadelle," inspired by the writings of Saint-Exupéry, symbolizing the institution's significant role within the region. The school's dedication ceremony on May 30, 1975, was attended by prominent figures like Minister of Education Thomas Wells, Conseil Supérieur de langue française President Gérard Raymond, and Superintendent Jean-Paul Scott, a staunch advocate for Francophone rights. The celebrations, including a cultural event known as "La Nuit de La Citadelle," drew over a thousand participants.

CKON-FM is a private radio station located in Akwesasne, a Mohawk nation territory that straddles the Canada–United States border (and also, on the Canadian side, the interprovincial border between Quebec and Ontario). The station's studios are located in the Akwesasne Communication Society Building; that building is itself on both sides of the international border, with part of it being in Hogansburg, New York, and part of it in Saint Regis, Quebec. The ACS building was deliberately constructed on the international border as a symbol of Mohawk defiance between Canada and the United States, as well as an expression of communal unity. Its licence was issued by the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs and Clanmothers. The station broadcasts on 97.3 MHz and is owned and operated by the Akwesasne Communication Society, a community-based non-profit group.The call sign CKON is a reference to the Mohawk word "sekon" (or "she:kon"), which means "hello" in English.While the station uses a call sign that would give the impression of being a licensed Canadian station, according to an article from the Canadian Journal of Communication, it is not, and there is no record of the station being licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), or by the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As such, official technical information about the station is unavailable; however, the station is reported to use 3,000 watts of effective radiated power, and its transmitter site is reported as being located on the Canadian side of the border, in St. Regis (part of the Quebec portion of the reserve). The building CKON is housed in is located on the Canada-United States border. CKON's tower is located on the US portion of the reserve. The station is licensed by a proclamation from the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation given via the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs. It is the only radio station in North America operating under the exclusive jurisdiction of an aboriginal government. Its founding board consisted of the following members: Frank David, Brian Cole, Salli Benedict, Lloyd Benedict, Diane Lazore, Doug George-Kanentiio and Francis Boots.

The Raquette River, sometimes spelled Racquette, originates at Raquette Lake in the Adirondack Mountains in the U.S. state of New York. 146 miles (235 km) long, it is the third longest river entirely in the state of New York. The river is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking. It passes through many natural and man-made lakes to its final destination at Akwesasne on the Saint Lawrence River. The river is the source of 27 hydroelectric plants operated by Brookfield Power, which at capacity can produce up to 181 megawatts of power. Historically, the river was a part of the "Highway of the Adirondacks", by which it was possible to travel hundreds of miles by canoe or guideboat with short stretches of portage connecting various waterways. This route is still followed by the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, a 740-mile (1,190 km) canoe trail from Old Forge to Fort Kent in Maine. It is also the basis of the route of the Adirondack Canoe Classic, a three-day, 90-mile canoe race from Old Forge to Saranac Lake.

The St. Regis River (or rivière Saint-Régis in Quebec) is an 86-mile-long (138 km) river in northern New York in the United States. It flows into the Saint Lawrence River at the hamlet of Saint Regis in the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. The Saint Regis River basin includes Upper and Lower St. Regis Lakes, and Saint Regis Pond in the Saint Regis Canoe Area. It's a great fishery for trout.

Cornwall Island (Mohawk: kawehno:ke) is an island in the Saint Lawrence River, directly south of the city of Cornwall. The island is located completely within Canada, but it is also part of the Akwesasne Mohawk reserve, which straddles the Canada–United States border and the Quebec–Ontario border. The Seaway International Bridge, with a channel crossing on each side of the island, provides road access to Cornwall Island from both Canada and the United States.

Si Miller Arena, formerly known as Water Street Arena, was an indoor arena located at 229 Water Street East in Cornwall, Ontario. It was built in 1936 and hosted the Cornwall Royals between 1969 and 1976, during part of their time in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, before moving to the Ed Lumley Arena at the Cornwall Civic Complex. The arena was renamed in honour of Si Miller, the City of Cornwall's Director of Parks and Recreation from 1963 until his retirement on December 31, 1994. The arena featured a 185' x 85' ice surface and a seating capacity of 700 people. There were also many lacrosse and minor league hockey games that took place there, including those of the Cornwall Bulldogs. After the opening of the Benson Centre in 2011, the Si Miller Arena was demolished.

Cornwall Street Railway Light and Power Company Limited, operating as Cornwall Electric, is an electricity transmission and distribution utility, licensed by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to operate in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. Originally established in 1887 as the Stormont Electric Light and Power Company and merged with the Cornwall Electric Street Railway Company in 1905, it is one of the oldest utilities in Canada. The company supplies electricity to approximately 25,365 customers in the city of Cornwall, the townships of South Glengarry and South Stormont, and on a portion of the Mohawk people's territory of Akwesasne, all located in Eastern Ontario. It crosses provincial boundaries to obtain the bulk of the power it requires directly from Hydro-Québec, while generating a small amount of its own, using a cogeneration system, a first such use in Canada. Thomas Edison visited Cornwall in 1883 to see his electric incandescent light system illuminate a local factory. The incorporation of the Stormont Electric Light and Power Company followed in 1887. Since then, the company has undergone several ownership changes during its history, transitioning from a private company to a municipally owned utility to one that is owned and operated by a multinational publicly traded company.
