Mariyah Islamic School is an all-girls school located at 3667 Lawrence Ave. East in Toronto, Canada. It is located at Central Mosque Scarborough. The school is recognized and accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education, was first opened in 1995 and is known as the "sister" of Jaamiah Ajax, a boarding school exclusively for boys. The education offered at Mariyah ranges from kindergarten to grade 12. The school's curriculum consists of both Islamic studies and traditional academic courses. The school is very professional and under the management of the Khan family. The school provides academic, secular education along with giving a strong importance towards Islamic education. Students are taught manners, how to behave, how to act like human beings, how to be good citizens, the 99 names of Allah, the Arabic language, Qur'an recitation, Qur'an memorization, and Proper Tajweed (The precise pronunciation of the Arabic words specially while reciting Qur'an). The school gets students involved in their communities through a concept called Anjumon. Anjumon is when students are assigned to present Qur'an recitations, speeches, and perform nasheeds in front of the entire school, often with a microphone. This strengthens their confidence and gives Mariyah Islamic School a fun, unique experience. Students are also humbled through service (khidmat) and cleaning such as vacuuming, mopping, and so on.

Scarboro Golf and Country Club

The Scarboro Golf and Country Club is a private club in eastern Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in the former city of Scarborough. It has facilities for curling and an 18-hole golf course that is ranked among the top courses in Canada.The club was founded in 1912 by stockbroker A.E. Ames. Its 144-acre (58 ha) site is located in the Woburn neighbourhood, approximately 12 miles (19 km) from downtown Toronto. Its course was originally designed by George Cumming and was extensively changed in 1924 under the direction of one of the America's celebrated designers, A. W. Tillinghast (who designed noted courses U.S. Open courses - Baltusrol Golf Club, Bethpage Black and Winged Foot amongst others), his only work in Canada and in his only work outside of the United States. In 1947, legendary golf course designer Stanley Thompson was commissioned to reduce the severity of some of the slopes on the course including major work on a hill on the eighth hole. The course plays to par 71, and it plays to 6,547 yards from the championship tees through the West Highland Creek valley. The creek comes into play as many as 11 times in 18 holes, and the hilly terrain, gullies and trees as natural hazards, making artificial hazards almost unnecessary at Scarboro. The club has been host of the Canadian Open golf tournament four times, as follows: 1940 won by Sam Snead 1947 won by Bobby Locke 1953 won by Dave Douglas 1963 won by Doug Ford in a playoff with Al GeibergerNumerous other professional and amateur events have been conducted on the club's fairways, most recently hosting the 1987 and 2012 CPGA Tour Championship. In hosting the 1958 Canadian Amateur Championship, a first round casualty was an 18-year-old Jack Nicklaus. In 1961, the course was one of 25 that hosted the World Series of Golf matches between Masters and British Open champions, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. In fact, Mr. Palmer was so taken with the golf course, he included Scarboro’s signature par 3 Hole # 14 as one of his all-time favourite holes. The course gives its name — with a change in spelling to Scarborough — to the north-south concession road astride which it lies, Scarborough Golf Club Road. The widening of and construction of a bridge under the adjacent GO Transit Lakeshore East line local rail corridor was cited as the reason for the closing of the curling facility in 2018, a decision taken by club's board of directors, and supported by a majority of club shareholders, though closing the curling facility was not absolutely necessary for the widening. The decision caused some controversy as some curling club members wanted the facility to remain.

Scarborough, Toronto
Scarborough, Toronto

Scarborough (; 2021 Census 629,941) is a district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, atop the Scarborough Bluffs in the eastern part of the city. Its borders are Victoria Park Avenue to the west, Steeles Avenue to the north, Rouge River and the city of Pickering to the east, and Lake Ontario to the south. It borders Old Toronto, East York and North York in the west and the city of Markham in the north. Scarborough was named after the English town of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Scarborough, which was settled by Europeans in the 1790s, has grown from a collection of small rural villages and farms to become fully urbanized with a diverse cultural community. Incorporated in 1850 as a township, Scarborough became part of Metropolitan Toronto in 1953 and was reconstituted as a borough in 1967. Scarborough rapidly developed as a suburb of Toronto over the next decade and became a city in 1983. In 1998, Scarborough and the rest of Metropolitan Toronto were amalgamated into the present city of Toronto. The Scarborough Civic Centre – the former city's last seat of government – is occupied by municipal government of Toronto offices. Since the end of the Second World War, Scarborough has been a popular destination for new immigrants in Canada. As a result, it is one of the most diverse and multicultural areas in the Greater Toronto Area, being home to various religious groups and places of worship. It includes a number of natural landmarks, including the Toronto Zoo, Rouge Park and the Scarborough Bluffs. The northeast corner of Scarborough is largely rural with some of Toronto’s last remaining farms, earning Scarborough its reputation of being greener than any other part of Toronto.
