	Welcome to Ontario
		Ontario is the most populous and second-largest in area of Canada's ten provinces.
		Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1884 and confirmed by the Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act, 1889 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		Ontario is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the east by Quebec, on the west by Manitoba, and on the south by the American states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

	Dorset Snowball Winter Carnival - Events
		Snowball was originated by the volunteer Committee for the Dorset Recreation Centre back in 1991 as a community event and fundraiser for the Rec Centre.
		Snowball takes place on the 3rd weekend of February every year and has grown from an event that used to be only attended by people form Dorset to an event that is now attended by people from all over Ontario.
		The main focus of Snowball is to provide affordable family oriented entertainment, to make Dorset a "destination" and to bring the community together for a day filled with activity and fun.

	CNN.com - Toronto tightens ban on snowball fights - Jan. 6, 2004
		A snowball fight is almost a rite of passage for students in Canada but Toronto schools are moving to strengthen a ban on the practice they say is violent and dangerous.
		While snowball fights are expected to continue to rage off the schoolyard, Kaukinen said schools cannot condone acts of violence.
		In December, a child was mistakenly trapped in a giant snowball his friends were rolling in their school yard in nearby Niagara Falls.

		Throwing snowballs - and taking a few in the noggin - is something of a rite of passage for school age kids in Canada.
		Well, snowballs may look harmless but as we just heard, many principals across the country are banishing them from their school yards.
		And to make those snowballs more firm and more aerodynamic, there is a snowball making machine on the market designed to give you the upper hand in any snowball fight.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Horizon - Snowball Earth
		GUY NARBONNE (Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario): The problem with the snowball is that this should have been the greatest environmental calamity of all time and yet we can't find the bodies.
		PAUL HOFFMAN: The beauty of the snowball Earth theory is exactly that it links the chemistry, the geology, the planetary science and bam-bam-bam, all of the facts are, are consistent with the predictions of the theory.
		Although disciples of the theory accept the snowball would have been death to most things, they argue whatever life did survive would have emerged into a new world almost devoid of competition, the perfect conditions for an explosion of evolutionary change.

		For the next three hours, they throw these snowballs at one another, hoping to recapture the title their team, now called Skyward, won in 2001: the Showa Shinzan International Yukigassen, the de facto world snowball-fight championship.
		Formal snowball fighting began in the late 1980s when Sobetsucho decided it needed a winter attraction to increase tourism.
		Two teams of seven players each start with 90 snowballs and face off on a field as wide as a tennis court and 1½ times as long.

		This methane 'trigger' for snowball events would be deactivated by a rise of oxygen (a slow leak could not cause methane to build up because it would be destroyed too rapidly).
		In contrast to the snowball Earth hypothesis, the model is based on a "conventional" modern climate system, but scaled to the colder conditions implied by evidence for low latitude glaciation.
		Because a Snowball Earth will be long-lived (millions of years), even a very slow rate of glacier growth (10 cm annually) will make a ice 1000 m thick in 10,000 years.

		The catastrophist Snowball Earth model is based on the supposed worldwide occurrence of poorly sorted rocks attributed to glaciers (tillites) and their presence at the then equator.
		The snowball model of Neoproterozoic glaciation is not a new idea (its roots can be traced back to the 1930's) but has captured the public imagination that in effect, imparts a de facto credence to the notion.
		Her focus is the development of a protocol for use by conservation biologists for the rapid mapping and assessment of lake trout habitat (e.g., spawning areas) using a wide variety of geophysical techniques principally sidescan sonar.

		Every year, the Golden Snowball could be brought to the winning city, maybe in a limo, with a state police escort.
		The governor could preside over the presentation, which could be made in comic-dramatic fashion at the bottom of a sledding hill, with the trophy delivered by officials on a toboggan.

		Ontario Premier Ernie Eves, whose own government was lauded at the news conference Thursday for funding an expansion of police resources, agreed the time has come for a co-ordinated effort between Ottawa and the provinces.
		Project Snowball was the only significant Canadian offshoot of Project Avalanche, a U.S. investigation that resulted in the arrest of Texas kiddie-porn magnates Thomas and Janice Reedy.
		Ontario Premier Ernie Eves suggested that his government would be willing to spend more money to combat child pornography and endorsed the idea of national collaboration on the problem.

		The Ontario oil held answers to age-old questions about when oxygen-producing bacteria and multi-cellular living organisms, called eukaryotes, first appeared on Earth.
		The finding fits with a study last year that concluded bacteria actually caused the first snowball scenario by producing oxygen that destroyed a warm blanket of methane in the atmosphere.
		If they could live through the toughest, coldest models of Snowball Earth, such hardy microbes could probably make a living on the frozen moons of Jupiter, he said.

	EO News: Study Shows Our Ancestors Survived "Snowball Earth" - June 6, 2006
		New research shows organisms called eukaryotes -- organisms of one or more complex cells that engage in sexual reproduction and are ancestors of the animal and plant species present today -- existed 50 million to 100 million years before that ice age and somehow did survive.
		This is not the first time biomarkers indicating that eukaryotes and cyanobacteria were alive before "Snowball Earth" has been found in ancient rocks.
		The samples also suggest that oxygen was being produced long before the atmosphere became oxygenated, probably oxidizing metals such as iron in the Earth's crust and ocean before the atmosphere began filling with oxygen.

		Grant M. Young, Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Western Ontario, will explore the role of plate tectonics in bringing about dramatic climate oscillations, changes in the atmosphere and hydrosphere, and setting the stage for the "explosive" evolution of life in the Cambrian.
		During his presentation, he will argue that the Snowball hypothesis does this better than any competing theory, but that a possible conflict with evidence for terrestrial ice streams must be resolved.
		If Snowball events depended on this mechanism, a rise in atmospheric oxygen could explain why the rise of multicellular animals coincided with the end of Snowball events.

		It is important to determine whether or not the diamictites accumulated in a glacial, glacially-influenced or non-glacial setting as it would help constrain climate change models that have been proposed for this time period.
		While the snowball earth debate is specific to the Neoproterozoic time period, this work can also contribute to our ability to interpret the climatic significance of diamictites in other successions.
		This project focuses on characterizing the nature of deformation in Quaternary sands and gravels associated with interlobate moraines in southern Ontario in an attempt to explain the depositional processes that led to their formation and the depositional conditions at the time of their formation.
