Our Foray into Local Politics

One thing that's been on everybody's mind recently has been the Toronto civic election that's taking place this coming Monday. We made a visit to Councillor Adam Vaughan's campaign office yesterday afternoon for a behind-the-scenes look at the election, and to learn what exactly city council does.

But first, we discovered these great bike locks on Harbord St that were perfect for climbing.


We stopped in a park to run around, and then hopped on a bus (both examples of services that the city council makes decisions on), and arrived at Adam's office.
Adam gave the kids a history of Toronto and explained why we have wards.

The kids make signs in support of Adam to decorate the office.

Looking good!

We worked together to create some big signs for the office. It'll certainly be exciting to see how this election turns out!
