Canada What up, my name is Isaac. I hope you enjoy these photos of my country Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My community (isaac) This is a photo of my street, it's about half a km long and it's wide enough for two cars and there are lights at one end. My street is extremely close to UCC, that's, Upper Canada College. This is an extremly blurry picture of a house on my street. It has two stories and a basement. It's currently decorated for halloween and there is construction going on in the backyard. My school (isaac) This is part of my school, Deer Park. This part of the school is the cafateria. My school has three stories, it also has a gym, a swimming pool and a library/computer lab. Our school is located close to shops and a ravine. (isaac) This is a photo of the school field, it's made out of Astro Turf. It's a great place to play sports during lunch despite over crowding the field is always fun. My city This is a picturte of St.Clair and Yonge, it's sort of mini commercial area. To the left you can see a Protestant church and in the background there are a few big buildings. You can also see a few ground level shops. Our school is to the left, past the church. (isaac) This is a photo of rush hour in St.clair and Yonge. You can see the ground level shops a little better in this photo. My Country (isaac) This is a picture of a evergreen forest near a town called Wiarton. Most of Canada is covered in forest. The forests are great places to explore, play paintball, hunt and even make maple syrup, yummy! This is another picture taken close to wiarton, you can see power lines, Canada is so big yet power has to be delivered to almost every corner of the country.

Canada
Hello, my name is Anton and my name is Genia I hope you will enjoy the photos my group and I put up for you. It's a way to see our city the way we see it every day.

My School
This is the front of Beer park Junior and Senior Public School, it is just off of Ferndale ave. Through the doors, are the steps leading to front foyer and stairs leading to the second floor. We're not allowed to use the front doors though, unless we have permission or a parent/guardian with us.

(Genia) This is the Deer Park School Ascosiation (as you can see this is the school yard). From left to right 4th person is our principal. His name is Peter Thatcher or Mr Thatcher. They are standing/sitting on our new green field that was built 2 years ago. It is good for sports such as Soccer, Football and Rugby. The field is really soft and water proof. In the back you could see our little baseball diamond. We barely use it, but if we use it, we just play kick ball. And if you look even further you can kind of see the junior playground.

(Anton) This is the hallway on the second floor. At the very end of the hall is the library. On this wall alone, there is probably 30 lockers for the grade eights to use.

My Community
My community includes a variety of fast food places. Though they are not healthy, they are really good and the have pretty reasonable prices. Here are some: Wendy's, Subway, Macdonaldsand pizza pizza (Genia) (Anton)
 * //The Eaton Centre//**

This is one the the biggest malls in Toronto. It is located downtown just off of Younge St.. It is also used as an office complex aswell as for stores.The Eaton Centre was named after the now-defunct //Eaton's// department store chain. It's one of Toronto's most famous shopping malls around, with tons of stores.

(Anton) This is some of the fast food places that are on every corner of our community. These are the places that make millions of dollars and are everywhere in Canada.

My City
(Genia) This is Toronto from the bird's view. Toronto is located in Ontario. The population of Toronto is about 3 million people. The middle part is the Lake Ontario. The maximum depth of Lake Ontario is 244 meters. The average depth is 88 meters. It is 311 kilometres long and 85 kilometres wide. If you come to Toronto don't swim in the Lake Ontario, because it is really dirty. If you go futher up you can see the tallest free standing tower in the world. It is 553 metres tall. It was built in 1976. Construction of the Cn tower costed 63 million dollars. Today you can visit it any time for as low as 25 dollars. A little to the left you can see a white dome. Tis a Rogers Centre. Thta is where you watch all the baseball, football, soccer, games. The roof was designed to play in any weather condition. It can open and close.
 * Toronto- Downtown**

//**City Hall- Toronto Ontario(Genia)**// This is Canada's Wonder Land. It is located in Richmond Hill which is like 5 km away from Toronto. Canada's wonderland has over 65 rides. Thirteen of them are huge roller coasters. Right now it is haloween decorated. So visit it today!!! (Anton) This is one of Toronto's most famous places to visit. It is one of the most distinctive landmark in our city. This is one the new remade version of City Hall, but the old one was around since 1899 just to give you an idea of how long it was around for. (Anton)

===This is Toronto's downtown area, the large tower in the middle is the CN Tower. Next to it, the bright bulb is the "Rogers Centre". The're are a lot of fancy restaurants, big corporation buildings and expensive hotels there. It's a fun place to be on a holiday.===

My country
(Genia) This is the Niagara Falls. It is located aproximately 120 kilometres from Toronto. Yes, it is the seventh wonder of the world. The height of the falls is 55 metres. Every single minute 160 tons of water collide with the river. As you can see you can go for boat ride and get a closer look for as low as 50 dollars. So visit Niagara Fall s today!!!

(Genia) This is Vancouver. It is number one city in the whole world in terms of low criminality and clean environment. As you probably know Vancouver won the 2010 winter olympic games. The city is located in British Columbia.

(Anton) Canada, one of the best places to be. One hand the winters can be rough in Northern Canada, but when your near the south it can be a very plesent place to live. We have control over most of Northern North America and we couldn't be more proud. We trade with many other contries, for food, supplies, and resources. Having ten provinces and 3 territories, how could we be less restraint. (Anton) Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is one of the most famous and well known person in Canada. She has her face on the back of every Canadain coin, and on the twenty dollar bill. She and her family are one of Canada's most thankful people to have supporting us. Without Elizabeth, this country would have taken a turn in another direction.
