Watching, Wailing, and Walking at the City Hall


Judy, Hao, Ivy, Ming, Jennifer, Hamid, Alice, Amanda, Alia, Eva, and new participants Deepani and Yang, together with alumna Jane and Julie and other MicroSkills JSW participants from upstairs, wait patiently and punctually for the arrival of the school bus to take them to the City Hall. Also in our delegation are three little girls and one little boy.




The watching begins with Paul Sharkey of Toronto Archives making a presentation on the government of Canada and focusing on the City of Toronto's operations and responsibilities.

The wailing begins and the youngest citizens find it hard to digest thoughts on the coat of arms, water filtration, and mayoral politics.




And then we dismiss for random walkabouts to buy street meat, load up on souvenirs, hit the library, and eventually make our way back to the school bus.

Thanks and kudos to Nina Nie and Kaye Broomfield of MicroSkills for making all the arrangments!

Say Cheese!
