Robb Engineering is a defunct metals manufacturer that was located in Amherst, NS, in the early 1900's.[1] Originally started as a tinsmithy, the factory enventually expanmded to the manufacture of Boilers, electric engines and small generator plants.[2] Some evedense exists that attempts were also made by the company to design and manufacture early locomotive engines.[3] In 1964 the Robb Engineering Works subsidiary was merged into Dominion Bridge.[4]
Most notably Robb Engineering has been pointed to as the maker of faulty 'Open Web Steel Joists'. In some cases there joists have failed catastrophically and allowed roof collapses to occure.[5] With the collapse of 3 joists in 3 seperate buildings, a inspection of all governmental structures was conducted in Eastern Canada surveying how many joists were in use.[6] Inspections costing ito the millions of dollers, found that several thousand government buildings, in several provinces across eastern Canada, were involved.[7][8] An unknown number of private buildings could also be involved, however not statistical information was recorded.

I submit to you that Template:Ontario King's Highways does not satisfy WP:NPOV (specifically:WP:UNDUE). It gives undue weight to the viewpoint that the listed roadways are the only roads with the honorific prefix of "King's Highway". After close inspection and attempts at locateing Citations, it is apparent that the Template is based upon a sigular citation source via the Provincial_highways_in_Ontario#King.27s_Highways Article. The source does not satisfy WP:RS. It is based upon the works of a single person. No desparageing of the site is intended in that remark, however other sources cannot be ignored. http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/ (a Gov't website, regularly updated and factchecked) points out the definition of "King' Highway" as "includes the secondary highways and tertiary roads designated under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act". (for one IANAL-laymans interpretation of of that legalese see here.) Not even does the Template acknowlage the possible existance of any tertiary roads with the honorific prefix "King's Highway". I politely ask, please give citations as to where you are obtaining the listing of included roads.
I will make my position clear. I do not wish to create argument, however, I do not believe that the Template should be used, at all, until such time as a difinitive list of roadways, that will stand up to WP:RS, is presented in the citations for this Template. Should no citation be presented (within an extended timespan), this same argument will be presented in WP:TFD. Exit2DOS2000•T•C• 13:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

a Security fence is a structure that is usually constructed from galvanized or LLDPE-coated steel wire chain link fence. Several, more longterm, Security fences are constructed from large concreat slabs that also prevent gunfire and/or line of sight across the barrier.[1] These types of security fences are refered to as Solid barrier's or Separation barrier's, and are typically resembling a highway sound barrier often used in North America.[2] The addition of Barbed wire or Razor wire can apply an additional layer of defence against intruders. The 'Depth' of a Security fence would be determined by a detailed threat analysis. Sections of fence connected end to end can be erected to cordon off an area either temporarily or permanently.[3] Security fences are constructed to limit the movement of people across a certain line or area, or to separate two groups. These structures vary in placement and design with regard to local topography.
- The term separation barrier is a euphemism for walls or fences.
- Razor wire used by itself is usually called a Wire obstacle.

retrieved feb 2007 Racing Off With The Cup
- The WWS re-birth was not all champagne and rose petals. Following the decision to pull support from the Canadian racing league, breaking a three-year agreement, Lucas Oil Canada under the direction of Steve Snowden has removed the WWS Cup from its display at the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. The move was made without prior discussion or consultation with WWS officials. WWS Canada remains in possession of the championship car pieces, and is attempting to reclaim the face plates from the award. While the fate of the former award is unknown at this time, a new championship trophy has been commissioned by WWS Canada, and will debut at the close of the 2007 season.
- The WWS Canadian racing league has partnered with an expanding Canadian company for the coming grass roots racing season. Gator Canada, proprietor of the internationally recognized Oil Gator absorbent, is expanding distribution into Eastern Canada and will be working with the WWS Canadian racing league to introduce its line of absorbents to new markets. Built to reflect this partnership, the new point fund will be composed of a guaranteed $5,000 base, with additions made to reflect sales growth. A donation of $2 for every bag of Floor Gator sold, and $4 for every bag of Oil Gator sold, at participating dealers, will be made, to a maximum point fund contribution of $100,000. The program begins April 1st, 2007, and will close September 30th.
- After months of shaky anticipation, WWS Canada has stepped back up to the microphone and announced that it will continue its grass roots racing program in 2007. The announcement came from newly appointed league President, Don Baker, following a series of meetings with Ontario’s premier stock car racing facilities. Said Baker, “We sat down and had a good talk about the future, not just of WWS, but of the Canadian racing industry in general. Bottom line, the WWS league is an important part of this industry’s future.” The 2007 WWS program, the third installment in as many years, has been tuned to reflect the input of teams and owners from the past two seasons. Of major note are the new standardized schedule, a 17-week summer; and the formation of the WWS Elite program. The new format has been designed to encourage an equitable battle for the Canadian grass roots stock car racing championship, while also recognizing the efforts of those few [Elite] drivers who go above and beyond the call of grass roots competition. Reigning WWS Cup Champion David Elliott voiced his support of the new system in a recent interview commenting, “I like it. We’re all on an even plane competing for the Cup, but there’s an incentive for me to go race at Delaware and for those drivers to do the same at Flamboro. I think it’s a smart move. It gets racers racing.” Other drivers have also voiced their approval of the decision to drop ‘passing points’ from the competitor scores. In previous seasons, drivers earned points for the number of positions gained start to finish. Designed to encourage fast cars to race through the field to earn more points, the reward system faltered because of the different handicapping styles used at each of the speedways. Some tracks started faster drivers at the front, limiting the points that could be earned by the pole sitter. In 2007, drivers will receive a score for their finishing position, and the complete field will receive a bonus according to its size, removing the earlier ‘formula’ method. The largest bonus is 5 points, awarded to fields of 23 or more starting competitors.

WWS League Background
WWS Canada (Weekend Warrior Series) is a grass roots league of Canadian stock car racing, designed to bring race tracks and drivers together in a spirit of competition and camaraderie.
The program was conceived and designed by Joshua and Gerry Paxton, a son and father team, under Paxton Motorsports Marketing under the mentorship of former Lucas Oil Canada director Don Baker. It was Baker who championed the program by bringing the sponsorship of Lucas Oil Products in its inaugural year.
The WWS is designed to be a marketing and communication tool. It was developed to attract attention to the efforts of drivers in the premier division of each of Canada’s short tracks under a single umbrella; while also bringing together speedway management teams from across the nation to analyze and discuss grass roots racing as an entertainment industry. The focus point is to generate fresh interest in the sport, and nurture the next generation of Canadian stock car racing fans. The Canadian speedway facilities that host weekly stock car racing boast some of the greatest summer entertainment, and offer the opportunity to see the high levels of talent amongst Canada’s racing drivers.
It was the passion to see this level of racing recognized by fans and advertisers that lead Josh and Gerry Paxton to design a program that allowed weekly racers to compete on a larger (national) scale and be ranked in terms of their performance.
There is no need for a driver to race at multiple facilities in order to achieve a WWS ranking. Each week, a driver’s performance is registered with the WWS, points are calculated, and then the rankings are posted so that each driver at each participating speedway can see where they stand against drivers doing the same thing elsewhere. A WWS Canadian Grass Roots Stock Car Racing Champion is determined annually based on those rankings, and a trophy recognizing the accomplishment is awarded. The WWS Cup will be kept at the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in Halton Hills, Ontario, and is the first active Canadian championship to be put on display.
The WWS league also provides track owners and promoters the opportunity to come together and discuss industry wide issues. Often the discussions turn to rules packages and developments, but the conversations also focus on sponsorships, staff training, race formats, gate revenues and touring shows. This forum helps promoters compare notes with one another to better deal with the changing social, cultural and business environments that affect and are affected by weekly grass roots stock car racing. A new spirit of cooperation and information sharing is helping to create a more unified approach to the sport overall, and to keep everyone associated with grass roots stock car racing up to speed on what’s happening behind the scenes as well as on the speedways.
The WWS prides itself on being an all-Canadian product and offering a true Canadian identity in motorsport. It is not a sanctioning body so there is no rules package or direct involvement in the local speedway racing program. Drivers are recognized for their performance on a regional and national basis, and it provides them with an opportunity to belong to something more than a single track, home based racing season. It also provides the speedways with the opportunity to share information and to work to attract new fans, drivers, teams and sponsors on an industry-wide basis.
Without the vision and support of Don Baker this concept and league would never have gotten off the ground. It remains his conviction that this program would permit not just his company but also others, to reach out its help to the racing industry on a wider scale than single track, traveling series or car sponsorship alone. He remains true to that view, and has recently joined the staff of WWS Canada in an effort to see his beliefs to reality.
Oxford Properties owns more than 47 million sq.ft. of commercial and industrial space , more than half of it in the city of Toronto and it's suburbs, from where the company is based. It also owns about a half-dozen Canadian Fairmont luxury hotels (acquired in 2006), as well as residential complexes containing more than 3,600 apartment units. The Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) purchased Oxford Properties for CAN$1.5billion.[4] At that time, January 2003, Oxford ceased offering its securities to the public[5] and surrendered its letters on the TSX, OXG.DB.
In 2006&2007 FY, Oxford has been on a drive to purchase properties in the US and UK[6] Retail Markets. on Oct 18, 2007, Kalinoski stated[7]
| “ |
Oxford Properties Group of Toronto has acquired 48.9 percent of a portfolio of eight U.S. regional shopping malls owned by Australian investment and advisory firm Babcock & Brown. The price paid for the stake was not released. |

Oxford already has a retail presence in the United States through its joint venture with Columbus, Ohio-based Glimcher Realty Trust. In January 2006, Oxford Properties and the REIT formed a JV to acquire anchored retail properties in the United States. The joint venture’s first transaction was the acquisition of Puente Hills Mall in the Los Angeles metro area, according to Glimcher’s website. Glimcher owns 52 percent of the joint venture while Oxford has 48 percent. The companies have since added the Tulsa Promenade mall in Oklahoma to the joint venture. Oxford Properties paid Glimcher $58.3 million for a 48 percent stake in that shopping center. |

Having competed for several consecutive years, Oxford has consistently won prises/awards from BOMA but has seen this trend slip in 2007, only taking 2 awards[12], due possibly to improvements in the competitions service.[13]
