QUESTION #1:
What's the best thing about your city, Toronto?
That there's not a lot of pollution. (Sara, age 6)
Toronto has more hardware stores than some other cities. (Matthew, age 4)
The multiculturalism and how it's a city where people from all over can come together. (Hanna, age 14)
Having a big park right near my house. (Violet, age 5)
One of my favorite things about living in Toronto is...Canada's Wonderland! Because there is lots of rides and games and it is really, really fun and I get to bring a friend. I always go on the last day of school. (Isa, age 8)
The parks and the island system. Nature. Harry's Run in High Park. The communities and farmers' markets and activities. (Isak, age 12)
I like going to my favorite pizza restaurant because I have very very yummy pizza there. (Nica, age 5)
Water slides! (Soraya, age 5)
QUESTION # 2:
If you could change one thing to make Toronto more fun what would that be?
Put more jungle gyms in. (Sara, age 6)
Instead of driving cars, we would all ride horses. And horses would be a lot cheaper than cars so everyone could have one. (Isa, age 8)
A new mayor. (Hanna, age 14)
Having more toys to play with everywhere. (Samira, age 4.5)
There could be water parks that would be open in the winter but they would be inside a glass building. (Matthew, age 4)
