Yesterday (Oct. 25, 2016) there was a small business forum at the down town of Toronto. It was a very useful forum about the newcomers who wanted to start up a business. Mayor John Tory kicked the day off at 9:00 a.m, and gave a keynote speech for all, after that there were many lectures you can choose, many various technologies and organizations can help you operate and grow your business. very wonderful! 

Thanks a lot for our teacher Joseph! The very kindly teacher gave us many opportunities to know the society of Canada! not just from books but from practices to teach students understanding the knowledge.

Many people you can see and many activities you can attend in the forum. Lisa visited some booths and got some ball-point pens, today, just a moment ago, she shared everyone a ball-point pen,and I got one, a yellow ball-point pen, very beautiful, so nice!

It's unbelievable! The Legislative Assembly of Ontario can be visited on its working day! 

In my opinion, government agencies are serious places, not allowed common people to visit. But on that day, entered the Legislative Chamber to listen to their discussion as a common person. It's a part of democracy. I could know that whether the senators do something for the people and for the community. 

Some children were sitting around the Chair. Who are they? Why are they working in the Chamber?

From the website, I know approximately 140 young students from across Ontario are selected to participate in the Legislative Page Program every year. This unique education experience opens to all Ontario students enrolled in grade 7 or 8, provides an opportunity to experience the provincial legislature in action, and to learn about the history and traditions of Legislative Assembly.

It's the part of western education. It allows young students to learn more knowledge about the society. Before I entered the Legislative Chamber, accessibility police at the office of the Legislative Assembly checked everyone, and I took off my coat on the fourth floor, after the tour guide, we came to the first floor, when we finished our tour, I remembered, I told the beautiful tour guide, she went to the 4th floor and got my coat for me. A very kindly beauty, thanks a lot!
