Canada
This is a picture of the front of Deer Park Public School. This is where I learn and do many activities and where I am from 9-3:20 every weekday.

This is a picture of the deer park soccer-football field. This is where school sports take place. This is important to me because I play a lot of sports. This year our school touch football team is working towards making and winning the City Finals.

My Community
This is a picture of a street near my house. This is right around the corner of Yong and St. Clair the main intersection by my house and by my school. There is not much about this street.

This is a picture of the building a live in. It’s a pretty big 13 story building right by Deer Park School. This is my community because it is where I live.

My City
Summary Paragraph My City

This is a picture of Toronto Ontario. This is where I have lived my whole life. Toronto is the biggest city in Canada and the fourth biggest in North America (not including Mexico City). In this picture it shows the CN tower which is one of Canada’s biggest landmarks. It is the largest free standing building in the world at 1,815 feet (553 meters) high. This picture also shows the five bank buildings which are skyscrapers. This is important because Canada has five world renown banks: Scotia Bank, Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Toronto Dominion bank and Royal Bank. This represents Toronto because when people look at these land marks, they think about Toronto.

I think this picture represents Toronto because it is multi cultural. This is a picture of China Town in Toronto. Next to that picture is a picture of little Portugal. This represents Toronto well because Toronto is one of the most multi cultural places in the world. There isn’t just china town there is Little Italy, Little Portugal, Greek town and even a place were a lot of Koreans live. So I think showing a multicultural side of Toronto represents Toronto because Toronto is multicultural.

My Country
Summary Paragraph

My Country

This is a picture of a maple leaf. A maple leaf is important because it is the symbol of Canada. Around the world when people see this maple leaf it reminds them of Canada. This became an important symbol in World War 1, as the Canada flag was still the Union Jack and the maple leaf was one way to distinguish Canadians. It shows the power of symbols and how something so small can represent something so large. This is why the maple leaf was the important part of country.

I think a beaver is a good representation of my country. Beavers have a lot of history in Canada. In fact one of the first reasons Canada was important was for beaver pelts. Merchants were offered an enormous amount of land called Rupert’s land where they could trade with the natives and settle. Also when Canadians were designing the Canadian flag there was a flag of a beaver with to red stripes on the side and another design was just a maple leaf so they took the beaver out of the middle of the flag and added a maple leaf. So the beaver was also in the making of the Canadian flag. Also the Canadian nickel which is a five cent coin has a beaver on the back of it. So beavers are also on our currency. That is why I think a beaver is a good representation of Canada.

Here is a picture of my school field. This is picture was taken at the back of the school were the feild is located.

My Community
Here is a picture of my community I have probably walked down that street a million times. A lot of people at Deer Park eat lunch on that street because there is a lot of good places to go.

My City
These are pictures of the CN Tower and the Rogers Center in Toronto. You are looking across Lake Ontario at Toronto in the day and night. As you can see when it gets dark out side there are a lot of lights so you rarely see the stars in the sky.
