imagine growing up or raising a family ant where else. This beautiful city has everything
you need and so much more to offer from the endless amount of hiking trails to the
shopping centres and restaurants. It is truly a wonderful place to live and I am so grateful
that my parents chose to call this wonderful place our home! Overall, this project lifted my
spirits about the city I live in, while also making me appreciate where I live. How involved
the community is was the biggest take away from doing this project and studying my
society. It was a wonderful thing to recognize that in all ways, my city cares and helps each
other and makes me feel assured that we are heading in the right direction.
