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)

QUESTION # 2:
If you could change one thing to make Toronto more fun what would that be?
